Fusionists were conspicuous by their
absence 1t was reported that Judge Nc
Call was 10 make a speech that would be
non-partlsar in it's character. but. after
several talks by members of the Brooklyn
Democratic machine. who assailed the
fusion movement Mr.. Mccall began with
a reputation of any disposition toward
non-partisanship.
81 am not egotist enough" began Mr..
Mccall. go believe that the demonstra-
ton OF this body of business men. which
reaches TO the very recesses Of my heart,
is directed to me personally. l cannot but
believe that IL is a recognition Of the fact
that l am the standard bearer OF the
great party which ! represent.
Except a mention Of Tammany Hall by
name. which Mr. Mccall has hitherto
avoided In his speeches. and a word "
I In -
matter of the subway contracts. the mon
partisan business men" heard almost WORD
for word the attack on his opponent
which Mir. Mccall made TO several par
tsan audiences in Queens County Thurs
day night
Eve hear the cry of 'Tammany,' gentle
men" said the candidate toward the end
NJ his speech. and we hear the cry of
.bossism. Such cries are tawdry; they
are childish and silly. II would seem
needless for me to repeat after the life
have lived that I am no mans man, but
this is one thing YOU can count on, that
am no newspaper mans man
Mr.. Mccall went over his fears for the
city's credit and reviewed the subway
question. again blaming Mr.. Mitchell for
the DELAYS. repeating the cry about
wooden cars in the Centre street loop
which. he said, were objected to by his
opponent because of the "vagares OF
Mitchel's mind"
He said further that though Mitchell
had said he would see that the subway
contracts were carried out If he CMitcheD
was elected. IT was his belief that Mitchell
as Mayor would try to block subway
progress.
Don't you believe he will not try 70
interfere" he told his hearers. III he ID
elected, YOU will see riot Of injuncuons'
that the Corporation Counsel he VIII ap-
point will start 10 delay, harass ana
bother those who are trying to give this
borough its subways.
Mr. Mccall repeated his references 10
Mitchell as a man with a low mental
equipment. being perhaps a little more
bitter than he was in his speech the night
before.
This was a great scheme" he said re-
ferring TO the operation of the centre
street loop, but even then Mr. Mltchel
parrotlike voice was heard, crying out
the words which his newspaper mentor
had pumped into his feeble mind
Mr.. Mccall also repeated the charge
that Mitchell had deliberately, and with
malice aforethought. tried to deceive the
citizenship of the city"
MIR Mccall concluded his speech with
declaration Of his independence. II Will
stand on my own feet. III make my own
judgments and no man on earth VIII
share the responsibility with me-"
There were less than one hundred OF
the "pon-partisan business men of Brook
Ign" at the dinner
