BARNARD HITS AT HEARST

/ New York, Dot. Rs.-Slavery booanss
live issue in the municipal campaign
today-not the slavery which broaghA
/ forth Uncle Toms Cabin" but ths
nineteenth century system known as
the white slave traffic"
The growth OF this system under
Tammany Hall, as attested By a writer
for the current issue OF McCluFsAa
Magazine. has laid the foundation upoa
which the local press hostile 20 thu
Democratic ticket, headed By william
J. GaynOr, IS conducting a new attack.
while the Republican, Fusion orators
and the supporters Of William p
Hearst have found new fuel for "a
already heated campaign.
The article Is printed IN MoCluFs'a
under subtitle, which says.
"The daughters OF the poor plata
story OF the development OF New York
/ trade Of the world under Tammany
Hall" And this is q sample OF the
charges made:
Vice Protected by Tammany.
The story Of the introduction Of THE
European business into New York, un@
der the protection of the Tammany
Hall political organization, would seem
incredible If # were not subs tantiRtsd
By the records Of recent municipal ex-
posures in a half dozen great cities
by two Independent Investigations By
the United States government during
knowledge Of the people of the East
Side tenement district Of New York,
whose daughters and friends daughters
have been chiefly exploited by It.
THE operation of this system has e
double influence upon our large cities,
/ On the one side il has great political
/ Importance for the reason that more
and more, with the growing cOncentra-
ton Of the stump politicians upon this
field, the prOcurer and marketer OF
| women tends to hold the balance IN
city elections. This is true not alone
in New York. Analyzers Of present
contests in Philadelphia and Chicago
have been convinced that the registra-
/ ton and casting OF fraudulent votes
from disOrderly places IN those cities
may easily determine the result 10 a
close city election. for false votes BY
the thousand are cast from those re-
sorts"
Comment by Murphy.
Charles 2. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hail. characterized the charges
as "nonsensical" this afternoon.
This is too nOnsensical to be worthy
OF discussion" he said.
Former Justice Gaynor declined %
comment on the matter. Though cleo
ton falls on November 2, Otto 7. Ban
nard, Republican nominee was the only
one Of the trio Of mayOralty candidates
who spoke tonight. He delivered seven
DrleI addresses IN new 1OFk. judge
GOynOr addressed MONDAY meettngay
as did Mr.. Barnard, but Mr. Hearst did
not appear on the platform today or to-
night.
In his MONDAY Epsech Gaynor, Whoss
running fire on Hearst has been unine
terruptsd since the editor repudiatsa
him and accepted q nomination hinssi8,
said:
"A business mans word IS his bend
Even a gambler keeps hts word. Buf
with ". R. Hearst a promise Is E9e4
for nothing"
Barnard on Hearst.
Barnard also took a shot at HozEsg
IN his day addresses. As both head
the fusion ticket, he has RETAINED from
personalities except at rare intervals.
He said today, however:
This Hearst vote does not trouble
me at all. 1 shall beat him By 100000
votes at the finish, and I am not given
20 idle talk.
What is Hearst going % get 0gt
Of this? Well, the answer Is nothing
Hearst Is the loyal citizen and the holy
martyr. That IS the new role. and thai
Is all he gets out Of It."
