PROPER CREDIT FOR MURPHY.

II is too bad for Tammany that AS
scmblyman Smith, Murphy's floor leader
I'm the lower house of the Legislature. is
less effective on the stump than when
carrying out the boSsS orders with "the
boys" at Albany. There he was in his
element. bullying, caioling. fooling the
legislators and Juggling with the rules
when necessary, but putting over
Tammany's jobs. Now he is reduced 10
the point of lamenting that it is impos-
Sible for Tammanys Legislature to get
proper credit for what it did. But in his
lament he places himself, the Legislature
and Murphyism on the defensive "All
they seem 10 want to talk about he
says. "arc the ripper bills and the dark
"lantcll charter. We did our duty as
I'VE saw il"
The real truth is that the boys" who
constituted Murphy'S Legislature did
their duty as the boss saw il. They did
their duty as Murphy saw it in trying ia
in6ict on this city a charter which in
viciousness and incitement to graft out
Tweeded Tweed I'm its first editions.
They did their duty as Murphy saw 1t
when they passed the outrageous Levy
elections law. and thus gave the Court Of
AppealS chance TO do its duty in pro-
tccting the voters from MurphyiSms as
saultS. They did their duty rs Murphy
saw il when they passed Il sham direct
nominations bill and claimed credit for
putting on the statute books a genuine

Murphy saw it when they put through

Wholesale at the boSs's nod.
"AIurphy's boys are getting proper
credit for what they did Murphy is
getting proper credit for what he did
the deeds Of an arrogant, selfish political
boss. with an opportunity for the first
time to get at the State Treasury. Muir
ply and his boys" won't find the ac-
count settled, however, until Election
Day. And the only way 10 settle the
account with fun and proper credit to
Murphyism and its agents is to defeat
Murphy's ticket.

CHINESE REVOLUTIONARY PROG
