THE GUSHING OF PAT M'oARREk

THE GUSHING OF PAT M'CARREN.
Not within recent years has the
Democratic party of New York state
performed better piece of work than
when it practically read Pat McCar
rem out of the party. for If there was
ever n man In politics who stood for
greed, INSCRIPTIONS tactics and even
dishonesty that man is Pat McCar
rem. He Is thoroughly devoid of n
conscience and he even ilaumts his
corrupt practices IN the face of the
respectable element OF the Dcmocrn,
tic party In Brooklyn and glorics In
8 his following of paid thugs. For
years he has been n detriment to tho
party In Brooklyn rather than hem
eft. The respectable mcmbcrs of the
party refused to sanction his methods
and elthcr remained away from the
polls or voted for Republicans In or
der TO rcbuko the Democratic leader.
That he will carry out his threat to
try to defeat all Democratic cand.
dates running for mayor OF New York
there Is not II doubt. That Is the type
of man he Is. Party lines and party
principles are no more TO Pat Nc
Carren when his own personal selfish
interests are mt stake than breath
of wind. He Is In politics for Pat
McCarren and for Pat McCarrcn
alone. Through politics he has nc.
simulated n fortune probably well up

leader OF tho Democratic party OF

The reading him out OF the party
will undoubtedly hurt the party for

his name has been most frequently as

sideboards. 1t is doubtful if he ever
made a sideboard. In his book there
is no reference to sideboards. though
there are several large tables which
he calls "sideboard tables" Though
the word sideboard was used long be-

early English sideboards were merely
