The announcement sent out from the
Wigwam that Big Tim Sullivan would speak
at the ratification meeting of the Third
district Tammany Democrats in Miners
Boyery Theatre last night served to draw
every voter in the district except Timothy
ID. Sullivan. Big Tins native modesty
again acted imperatively n he allowed
the rest OF the Sullivans to represent the
head of the clan.
There was Little Tim. who was chair
man of the meeting; Florrie and Chris
Sullivan. but the vacant chair for the chief
up in the front row OF the platform was
reverently left vacant. Big Tins name
was mentioned more han nee and vocif-
erous applause emphasized every such
occasion.
Bourke Cochran was the chief orator of
the evening. whose duty il was to set right
any misrepresentation as TO how Big Tins
district would go on Tuesday. He said
that he spoke for Tim, and what he had
to say was to he aiken as from the mouth
of Tim himself.
1T is eminently fitting that we should
close this campaign here in the heart Of
the Third district, y. said Mr.. Cochran in
delivering he message of the chief, "be-
cause here the strain has been greatest
on party loyalty. / a heard many say
throughout the city that the weakest spot
in Tammany was right here in Timothy ID.
Sullivan's district. because Of the resent
ment said TO have been felt by certain
leaders in this district.
But I tell you, and / know hat repre-
sent Timothy d. Sullivan when ! say il,
that any Democrat who il not strong enough
to rise above the dictates of personal feeling
ard petty resentment in a time Of crisis
could not be leader Of a great district as
Mr.. Sullivan is leader of this district.
Il come here to say that the Third district
is going to support the whole of the Demo-
cratic ticket from top to bottom on Tuesday
and Timoth- ID. Sullivan, il he has any
power over your minds and over your
ballots, is going TO see to il that the greatest
majority for Tammany hat has ever been
rolled up in this district will be the result
Of your balloting on Tuesday.
Tonight your district leader asks moth
iAg: he gives everything. | am here to-
night TO bear witness TO the impression his
action have q on the Democracy
throughout the State. No such unSelfish
sacrifice has been made by any Democratic
leader throughout The present caulpaign
as that made 10y your leader, Timothy D..
sullivan"
Little Tim made a speech in which he said:
we pledge ourselves 10 work hard in the
interests of the whole Democratic ticket. "
When senator Grady was speaking for
Hearst a voice in the gallery asked: How
about those pictures?'
We'll, I confess that those cartoons Mr..
Hearst printed of me did hurt and cannot
ever forgive them" said Grady, but that's
not an issue at present
Senator Frawley had a big meeting in
the New Star Theatre, 10Th street and
Lexington avenue Here W. Bourke Cock
ran took for a text the Christian spirit.

spirit. Then no took a whsck at what he
termed the vicious press and incidentally
spoke Of the red headlines" OF the yellow
papers that were attacking Mr.. Hearst.

his speech appealing to the voters TO put
their cross under the star on election day
He was interrupted NAM times by a voice
from the gallery which beloved, "Vote
under the scales"
