Big Bill Devery didn't minos words last
night in booming Peter J. Gsrvey for leader
ship in the Seventh Assembly district at
the annual outing Of the William J. Dsvery
Association at the Manhattan Casino at
Eighth aven, - nd i55th street. The affair
up to II O'Clock was mostly q dance aud q
picnic. There were nearly 5000 men and
women present and everybody seemed
happy. Then after one Of the encores the
orchestra laid of and the spot lights wers
turned upon Bill. who was arranged In q
proscenium box.
Devery lost no time going after the present
leader Of the district, Frank J. Goodwin,
and said before he had uttered half a
dozen sentences that Goodwin didn't look
good TO him.
IL thank you upon the behalf Of Mr..
Garvey for this magnificent attendance, !"
he said. 1T is the grandest distr.ot turnout
l ever saw. IL there In any Goodwin man
present | wish he would carry the news
Of this meeting back. lt1l make him feel
bad. ] implore the young ladies present to
assist in conveying the good news.
IL consider them among the most valuable
distributors OF political wisdom. Goodwin
is a man with marble heart and an 10y
eye. Br-r-r-r--it makes me shiver to
think Of that fellow. he's 30 cold. He's
the last man in the universe for the common
people TO hail as a leader. You ask him
questions and he's too busy TO reply
sWhat unt al for (.arNau in Aafa f,,s
this man you do for me. Tammany Hall
has recognized Mr.. Garvey. The Goodwin
men call me a Mcclellan man. Let il go at
that. Tonight we are Mcclellan men--if
they say so-and from now on, In fact we
are anything to be on the other side Of the
fence from them. We're against Goodwin
at any cost.
Now remember my words and hand il
to Goodwin in lunches Of his own ice
Freeze him out.
Devery's speech was badly broken up
with cheers and hurrshs. In fact it looked
at times as IL he would have TO discontinue
temporarily. His appeal TO the women
present made distinct hit and Bill himself
grinned at the furore the sally created.
Then he tried to look severe. as il he meant
it. He was the only speaker Of the evening
and occupied but few minutes with the
talk.
Afterward the band struck up again and
Mr. Devery retrested TO the back OF his box.
He was surrounded by a crowd OF friends
and pulled TO the front again. Folks dane
ing thought another speech was coming
and stopped 10 listen The noise Of approval
started. but Bill indicated that he had had
his say and the dancing went ahead with
full sway.
The Seventh Assembly district Demo-
cratic Association the Mcclellan organiza-
tion of the district, met last night and
passed resolution to the effect that a
district leader should not hold Office This
organization ia to name DR.. William j.
Stewart. formerly allied with the Devery
