A Reader Testifes to Popular Oppo-
sition.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In directing attention TO the weak
ness OF Mr. McAneny as mayoralty
candidate The Tribune is serving the
cause Of good government At a meet
Ing OF a non-partisan association Mon
day night the question was discussed
informally. When Mr.. McAneny's name
was mentioned there were expressions OF
disapproval and even contempt On the
other hand. the suggestion Of Mr.. WHIT
man for Mayor was received with re-
spect and commentator by members OF
all political affiliations.
Mr.. whitman received nearly $1,000

GREEK VIEWS OF BULGARS
Scratch One of Them and You Find

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: About the Greek and Bulgarian
races, It is well known all over the world
where the Bulgarians come from and
from where the Greeks come. Since the
Bulgsrians became Slavs in the seventh
century not even the teachings Of the
Christian religion could stop them from
being murderers and thieves.
/ suppose Mr. Setchanore reads only the
Bulgarian authors and the newspapers
''Retch" and Mir" which are published
at Sofia, but has no idea what the inde-
pendent authors have written.
From another point of view. what are
the Bnlgarians. liberators or conduerors?
Why, they claimed Salonica, that has
