That condition. Mr. Hedges went on,
was tho root Of all the evil. II caused
the Rosenthal murder. II was respoh'
s,hle for the existence OF lawbreaking eie-
ments In the city. II made 1t Impossible
for laws 10 be enforced when the interest
Of Tammany lay in protecting the law
breaking element. as it frequently ala IN
the exisenc!es Of politics. He added:
1fr become Governor, It will be my duty
20 see that the laws are enforced, tne
penal law among them, and ~ 90 II !.

Mr. Hedges had no good words for Tam
many Hail. either in New York City or in
tbe state administration, and this election
ba' insisted was merely a question
whether Tammany should be permitted
IN control the state for two years more

That depends on whether the state OF
New York thinks on the topic, ana
whether IL has a moral background which
iustifies thinking. There is one thing
about Tammany that commends itsell 70

hypocrites. They just announce 70 the pup,
ici eve are going TO live on YOU, ana
there is no decent principle In political
life they Will stand for. -.

/ have seen them lay their hand on
