hammering away with campaign speeches

days away.
Hearst delivered four speeches In Brook
lyn. having crossed the East river for
the first time since the campaign opened
Barnard. still sticking strictly to business
issues and speaking briefly, addressed
Fseven mass meetings on the East Side.
Gaynor spoke at Long Island City and
at Flushing, L.. 1. ~ y 81 - s.aSa
An attack on Gaynor constituted fully
a third of Hearst's Brooklyn speeches. He
dwelt on the fact that Judge Gaynor had
said in his recent address at Tamnlany
Hail that he had not been aware of the
location of the famous wigwafn before
that evening. - i
when Judge Gaynor says he does not
know where Tammany Hall is" said
Hearst, The is either singularly insincere
I'or singularly ignorant. But l can tell
know where Tammany Hall stands, but
Tammany Hall knows where Judge Gay
nor stands. or they would never have
nominated him.
Candidates Ambition.
Toward the close of his address Hearst
disclosed an ambition Of his to add sto
his already great string of newspapers
by establishing one in Brooklyn. or this
he said: Before my nomination 1 was
just preparing to start a newspaper in
Brooklyn to grow with this great borough
and fight for your interests. If 1 am
elected mayor l SHALL of course, have to
give up this particular plan, but 1 shall
do all can as mayor to serve you.
IF / am not elected l shall then go
ahead with my newspaper idea and dc
all | can as private citizen to serve
you
Mr.. Bannard's Attack.
On the East Side Mr.. Barnard said in
part.
'Tammany has no genius for govern
ment, only for graft. I bought dozen
typewriter ink erasers the other day for
So cents. while the city OF New York paid
for this identical article with your money
$3.50 dozen. The War Department of
the United States government purchased
| the same thing at the same time for only
% cents dozen
II am business man, who expects to
beat Gaynor for mayor because people
are tired of Tammany Hall and Charley
Murphy. Hearsts candidacy is helping
me and he will come in a cheerful third
| Bannard's prediction that Hearst will
come in third is practically his first ref
erence to the editor during the cam
paign, although Hearst has attacked Ban
! nard bitterly. Both are heading the same
| fusion ticket
Gaynor on Long Island.
Gaynor's Long Island speeches, the first
that he has delivered outside Of Brooklyn
or New York. covered ground that he
has gone over heretofore and included
his compliments to Hearst.
| Among the most interesting incidents
of the day was declaration by Charles
f.. Murphy. leader of Tammany Hail. that
of William j. Corners chairman OF
the democratic state committee over p
+. McCabe of Albany. Hearst got Nc
| Cabe out of the race by Offering to put
| up 100000 as campaign contribution
| Murphy said. He told the story up to a
certain point. then dismissed the subject
with Il chuckle. saying, Corners will
tell you the rest. He knows more abou,
it than / do
