TAMMANY NOMINATES
NEW YORK CITY TICKET Is
HEADED sY M'cALL.
Speakers Proclaim Regularity OF
Men Offered TO voters-Homs
Rule In Platform.

New York, Aug. 25.-The Tammany
city committee nominated the follow.
ing ticket:
For Mayor-Edward E. Mccall OF
Manhattan.
For Controller-He A, Metz oil
Brooklyn.
For President of the Board Of Alder.
men-Joseph A. Goulden OF the Bronx
Murphy's slate went through with
out 3 tremor OF opposition, nor SO
much as the first sign of dissent.
The cry OF regularity was raised at
every turn. The Tammany speakers
said they were glad they would have
a chance to vote for Democrats who
bore the party stamp
Charles f. Murphy sat among the
delegates and throughout the proceed
ings made no more decisive motion
than to put his handkerchief 10 his
face and withdraw 1t. ...
There were reports that friends OF
Mayor Gaynor would attempt TO
stampede the convention for him, but
no such move materialized.
The main planks of the platform
are:
A declaration for rigid economy in
municipal ADMINISTRATION; an indorse-
ment of the present subway policy
of extension; home rule, as against
interference by the state legisla'
ture;" equal tax assessments to re-
lleve burden OF small owners and
rent payers; to promote the
supremacy Of New York city as a
port; to remove from police super.
vision the suppression of gambling,
disorderly houses, and kindred vices. "
The part OF the platform regarding
the police situation was generally
taken as an Endorsement of the work
Of District Attorney Whitman and
the talk that he would be Endorsed
by Tammany was at once revived with
added strength
Edward Everett Mccall, as chair
man of the New York public service
commission, signed the subway con-
tracts last February, which resulted
in unsuccessful lawsuits to prevent
their acceptance by the city.
He is a brother OF John A. Mccall
and was attorney for the New York
Life Insurance company when his
brother was president Of that COM
pany. He was elected a supreme
court justice in 1912 for term ending
in 1916, but resigned to become chair
man of the public service commits
sion. ... ... -..a..
He will be opposed by John Purroy
Mitchell, fusion candidate, and possibly
by Mayor Gsynor, who may run as an
independent. la

Result Of Hard Work.
This water power development in
the very center of the Mississippi

Of hard work for forty years by the
people thereabouts, who finally were
successful In inducing capital to at.
tempt the work after congress passed
the franchise act, which President

Deep water navigation now is made
possible for sixty-ive miles up the
Mississippi, including a stretch OF
river hitherto impossible except
through government canal with
three locks, which cost $4,000 to OPP
crate and is rendered unnecessary by
the lock and the lake above the dam.
100000 Horse Power.
The dam is three times as large as
the next largest single installation Of
water wheels in the world. II com
prises thirty turbines and electric
generators which produce total Of
over 100000 horse power on the shaft
connecting them ......
The total quantity OF power pro-
duced on the turbine shafts on the en-
tire power-house is more than is used
for manufacturing in Missouri, and
one-fourth the quantity used In manu-
featuring in Illinois, including Chi
cago and its environs. a..
The latter city takes 10000 horse
power OF current over a transmission
line carrying 1t at 10000 volts. Fort
Madison. la, Quincy and Alton, H.,
and Hannibal, Mo-, are other cities
Ia the power zone.
Below the powerhouse and between
IT and the Iowa shore is the new lock
built by and entirely at the cost OF
the power company to become the
property OF the United States upon
completion, 1t was put into commits
sion June IL and has the same
width as the Panama locks and lift
