pended upon his action. If he did not
declare his purpose to veto the bill, he
and his party were doomed. II he
took some other course. they would
still have a fighting chance. The
mayor rose to the occasion.
"Gentlemen," he said, my action
shall be dictated by yourselves"

roared the crowd.
Every man Is entitled to his
chance" said Gormly, "and l beg you
to hear"

granting Of this franchise to the

II on the contrary, my distinguished
opponent shall prevail. the matter will
be left for his determination"
You won't sign the bill if It comes
to you them" asked some one in the
crowd.
Il will not, and will use what influ-
ence l have to see that 1t is not pre-
sented to me-" was the answer
Nothing" said Gormly, could be
fairer than that. The issue is clearly
and sharply drawn. If you want to
perpetuate the power of the Gotham

only to re-elect the present mayor II
you want to resume your own control
of affairs, you have only to elect me.
