sumed by the vast majority Oh inc WIZ u
of the district that a fgurehead had been
named who would sit by his own hreside
and await the usual avalanche OF TAM
many votes that in years past invariably
buried every man who didn't wear the
Murphy yoke.
A surprise was in store, however Tor
those who took this view, for Mr.. Dale
refused to keep still and see himself en-
tombed by a landslide. On the contrary
ne got busy, and as a result Peter J. Doo-
ling, the Tammany candidate, who ex-
pected a walk-over, has been forced 10
make a real campaign.
Mr.. Dale is conducting his fight along
lines laid down by himself. From early
morning until early the next morning ne
is on the trail for votes. No section OF his
district has failed TO receive visit from
, the candidate. and the street urchins vie
with one another in shouting his praises
Almost every one In the district with
vote has already met Mr.. Dale personally
although his campaign has only begun II
isn't strange that Tammany is worried
for the organization hasn't been accuS-
toned to behold such a display of vigor
and confidence as Mr.. Dale seems 10 pos
sess.
In an interview last night Mr.. Dale SAID
that after a thorough canvass OF mis- DIS
trict on both the East and West sides ne
was convinced that the people were dis
gusted with the means used by Iammany
to accomplish its political ends, and that
they would welcome a candidate In the
district who was pledged to carry op an
honest fight: who had studied and knew
his people, what should be done for them
and how TO do IT,
Mr. Dale has combined with Thomas f,
Devine, candidate for State Senator, 70
sweep corruption out Of the district He
has formed an organization Of young and
independent voters, and has issued email
lenGe setting forth that the raiding oaDds
Of guerillas on whom Tammany has de-
pended heretofore for Election Day sue
cess and who have on that day estah-
lshed reign Of terror in certain portions
Of his district will be stopped at a dead
line established by the boundaries of his
Congress District. He promises all law
abiding and peaceful citizens a greater op-
portunity than they have had in many
year freely to express their preference on
Election Day.
"The harder the battle, the better ! like
IT," is Mr.. Dale's motto. Murphy thought
that when he nominated Dooling he was.
In view of the normally heavy Democratic
majority, practically appointing him as
the next Congressman or delegate from
Tammany Hall TO the seat Of government
at Washington. Mr.. Dooling evidently
thought so, too. for he at first made no
move in furtherance Of his candidacy. He
has been forced into action, however, and
whatever pickings he gets out of this
campaign he will have 10 work for.
Mr.. Dale's theory is that every dog
has his day" and Dooling, having already
lived for many years on the public bounty,
should give a young man chance. Mr..
Dale does not believe that even the old
rank and file Of Democrats want as their
In Congress a Tammany
leader who will be too busily engaged In
supervising political affairs in his dis
trict at home than pay proper attention
to national affairs.
Many Of the less fortunate people OF
his district have had occasion 10 know

of his pledge, II elected, to distribute his
salary for the two years OF his incumben-
cy in Office, amounting TO $4,000. among
his needy constituents. Mr.. Dale has fur
Their pledged himself not to profit by nor
accept one penny from public Office so long
as his private means avail him, feeling,
as he does. amply compensated by the
honor conferred upon him by the people
in selecting him as their candidate. He
has announced that no appointments to
West Point or Annapolis shall be made
outside Of his district; no special privi-
leges will be granted to any one, and
that he will strive for the preservation OF
equal rights for all, irrespective Of race,
creed or color.
Mr.. Dale stands on the following plat
form:
A sufficient army and navy for national
security, to meet existing conditions and
obligations and to maintain before the
world the dignity and honor Of the United
States of America.
The application Of a usury law to the
