GAINS FOR BANN ARD
ADDING TOTES DAILY.
Big Plurality for Fusion Nom
iRee Seems assured.

Polls that reach the headquarters of
Otto T. Barnard daily tend to confirm
the assertions OF Representative Bennett,
his campaign manager. that he will be-
elected by a large plurality.
Some sixteen hundred replies were re-
ceived to postal cards sent to the enrolled
voters in the 31st Assembly District. From
these it is figured that the vote there will
be: Barnard 5000; Hearst $500; Gaynor.
1000. Since 1905 the district has been di-
vided, and now contains only about one
half the voters it did then. when the vote
stood: Hearst, $500; Mcclellan, $500; WINS,
5000.
Collin II. Woodward reports that the dis
trict OF which he is leader-the 23d-will
poll this year the largest Republican vote
in its history.
Representative Bennett. who has been de-
voting most Of his time from a. m. to l
a. m. to managing the campaign OF the
fusion mayoralty candidate, made his only
speech of the campaign at the MONDAY
meeting Of the Business Mems and Com
mercial Travellers Barnard Campaign
League at Sth street and Broadway. yes
terday. He was enthusiastically received.
and said among other things:
We have against us a man who denies
and vet admits he is the candidate OF the
Democracy. We have had one pepperpot
IN the City Hall for four years, and that that
win a congested stomach ache for four
years mere. He would be unbearable and
insufferable because he cannot keep his
temper He has been very fond of quoting
Scripture. but there is one little quotation
which he should call to his mind at an
times. and that is He that ru.eth his
sItyS sR5yi! Is greater tha" he 'hat 'AAs'n
BY all means keep a crouch" away from
the City Hall. What you want there is
man with common sense, and by common
sense l mean 'horse sense" We have
such man. He is one that has not In
dulged in personalities, but has stuck to
the issues of the campaign and made 1t
campaign of education.
Barnard could find Tammany Han well
enough, and he could find any other part
of the greater city. He is kindly broad
minded and liberal man, and at the same
time absolutely correct. 1 know of no one
who has exhibited greater ignorance Of the
city and it needs than the ex-Honorable w.
]. Gaynor.
