Tells Of Bride Offer.
His audience. almost to man made
up OF Jews. let out one wild yell when
their idol said:
Il have no more loyal friends In all
the world than the Jews OF the 6th
Assembly District"

eminent, by the name of Charles +.
Murphy, tried TO bride me and found
he couldn't he threatened me with some
things that were true and some things
that were false. But | refused. Then
Mr. Murphy set in motion the ma
chnery OF the organization, and then,
from that high office. the Murphy Court
OF Infamy did remove me.
"All that political and all that fnan-
cal influence could do. through detec- |
tives. spies. traitors and every other
source, was done. No man in public !
life ever had his public and private
career, from the moment Of his birth up

mine by Murphy and his agents.

At the second meeting, at Manhattan |

Governor said
Murphy the boss, took away my |
office because he could not get me to |

AT each meeting Sulzer announced |
that he would ask Murphy a question |
each night, which he hoped he would |
answer truthfully.
II ask Charles +. Murphy if il is not |
true that | refused to accept SCI. 600 |

And everywhere he said:

Mccall to Send Telegram.

BY way of adding another small detail
10 the story, Hennessy described how
Mccall. after delivering Murphy's ult-
matum about the Palmer appointment,
had arranged for telegram which he
would send Hennessy, II the Governor
would accept Murphys terms, which tele-
gram Mccall said he would sign South
ampton'
AS he has done in his previous speeches.
Hennessy again condemned Sulzer last
night for dickering with Mccall and Muir
ply. but he emphasized at the same time
the point that II Mccall thought 1t was
all right for Governor to confer secretly
with the boss. he would certainly be-
ieve that it would be all right for a
Mayor TO confer secretly with the same
boss about appointments and prbhc af-
fairs.
mccall carried the messages on seven
different and separate occasions to AL
bany, after the Governor had refused to
take any more messages sent TO Albany
BY John Delaney" Hennessy said DE
laney carried the messages until March 4.
after that date the new messenger was
T. f. Mccall"
lie challenged Mccall to recte the de-
tails of the meetings in Albany with the
Governor upon those seven occasions, and
he challenged him to tell the people what
sas i'm those messages from Murphy.
IIennessy read from records he had COL
lected In his Highway Department and
other Investigations in Albany, names,
dates and figures showing the detailed
and picayune assessments levied upon the
poorest laborers on the state payroll
men getting $40 and $50 month subject
ed TO political assessments of 81 80 ana
s. month. and even water boys getting
s. week assessed In the same manner
at the rate of 80 cents a month.
lie told Of roads completed at inflated
costs under the old administration OF the
Highway Department and on the books
for repairs within a month after they
had been so completed, He read from
padded payrolls TO show that BARRIERS,
drug clerks and grocerymen were on the
rolls as road construction foremen ana
engineers. and through all that he gradu-
ally led up TO the case of Duncan w
Peck.

Col. Hopkins then quoted this part OF
Washington's last message TO Congress:
"A mong the motives to such an IN

ciples, opinions and manners OF our
countrymen by the common education
of a portion of our youth from every
quarter, well deserves attention me
more homogeneous our citizens can be
made i'm these particulars. the greater
will be our prospect of permanent

cation of our youth i'm. the science OF

tant and what duty more pressing on

turn out broad minded patriotic Amer

eminent was a science requiring for
it's exercise trained intelligence and
that 1t could not be, as we are now
told, successfully administered by
street-corner conventions. The UNI
versity that bears his name should IN,
culcate and perpetuate his teachings.

west of Oakland. Md. Miss Worthington
and her brothers had been residing in

where the men are appointed for their
fitness and kept there because of their
fitness. This, he said, was a recognition
that the entire interests of the govern
ment are better served by such system.
He said the government service was abb
solutely different from any other voca-
ton in life.
Three Glasses of Persons.
Mr. bennett named three classes Of
persons who came to Washington to en-
ter the government service. They are,
he said, those young men and women who
enter the government service in order to
study profession in the schools and
universities of the city: those who enter
it because the entrance salary was a little
better than they could obtain in private
life; and those who desire to come to the
nation capital because of its social op-
portunities.
Right here" said Mr.. bennett Il am
going to make an astonishing statement.
L have had only one man who when
questioned by me as to why he desired
to enter the government service answered
that he had entered it because of the
character of the work and the pleasure
of it, The latter had the real true idea
of the government service as a profess
sion, Mr.. bennett declared.
Mr.. bennett pointed to George B. Cor
telyou and Frank III. Hitchcock as men
who had come here and entered, the gov
eminent service and worked their way
to cabinet positions.
"You cannot expect our young men and
women to enter government service and
starve" the commissioner continued.
There must be living wage. That al
ready exists in the entrance salaries. But
it is in the higher positions where public
servants are very much underpaid-
places where the men have opportunity
of saving money for the United States.
Disgraceful to United States.
There is nothing more humiliating to
the individual or more disgraceful to the
United. States than to have a man giving
the best part OF his life to the United
