Quieted down the candidate interrupted many
times in the beginning OF his speech with familiar

The house cheer this statement and
there were cries OF Barnard. Bannard,' all
through the audience. The cheering was no less
vehement when Mr.. Mitchell made the same state

MAYOR NOT SO IMPORTANT.
William A. COakley. the labor man. who caused
trouble IN the Committee OF one Hundred tried 10
hat Mr.
Mitchell for frankly explaining their position bur
the only results were Kisses for Coakley and more
cheers for Barnard. While Mr. Hearst interrupted
Coakleys speech by his entrance. the first thing
he did was 10 shake hands with Mr. Mitchell and
Mr.. Prendergast. and the first sentence in his
speech was declaration that the important thing
in this campaign not the election OF a Mayor.
but the election OF Board Of Estimate that would
take the control Of the city's money out Of the
hands OF Tammany.
The object OF the independent movement he
said. lis not only 10 help city but 10 help the
Mayor and TO make possible an honest and credita-
bic administration
Mr.. Hearst said he could not see why MT Gaynor
objected to such a purpose. 1T is not possible"
he remarked, that he prefers grafters."
Mr.. Hearst coined several phrases that delighted
his audience He spoke OF the Brooklyn Democracy
As THE Archbold soldiers OF Standard OIL" and in
connecting Tammany Hall and the Kings County
Democracy he spoke OF them al the homogeneous

Mr. Hearsts final plea for the election OF
the fusion candidates for the Board OF Estimate
His whole speech gave the impression that he
would rather see Mr.. Barnard elected Mayor than
be elected himself. But the election OF indie
pendent fusion Mayor and q Tammany Board
Of Estimate. he SAID, would be incalculable mis-
fortune.
In Manhattan and The Bronx he said. ''be-
hind Gaynor stand in solid phalanx the hungry

four years. They cry No quarter because they
DO not want quarter They want It all"
E1 Mr.. HEARsTs SPEECH
Mr.. Hearst's speech a plea for the preserva-
alton OF the citys money from the attacks of
Tammany Han. The Board OF Estimate was, in
M Hearsts opinion. The objective point OF the
TammRny attacks and the point which the de-
fence should be concentrated. Mr.. Hearst Eaid

Under these circumstances cannot see why

I can conceive OF no greater misfortune that

Why should Judge GaynOr rather lead these

Is not the carefully selected ticket indie
