for Mayor, in The World" recently, and
said:
"A Mayor Of New York, according to
Mr.. Mccall. would have to perform
miracle to make the citizens who happen
TO have come from Russia, Italy. Ger
many or Austria behave with decency or
proprety. as fixed by the code of the
Anglo Saxon-Celt.' Mr.. McCalfs con-
temptuous reference to the foreign low
brows can but mean that he regards them
as degraded. inferior and infinitely be-
meath the 'Anglo-S axon-Celt,' in which
division of hignbrow thoroughbreds he is.
of course. included.
Note the foxy cunning and sophistica-
ton Of the phrase. Had he said Anglo
Saxon the Irish would have jumped on
him: likewise the Scotch and the Welsh.
They hate the term and have expressed
the opinion hundreds Of times in the pub
lie prints that there is no such race. SO
he coined the term Anglo saxon-Celt' In
order TO take the curse off the Anglo
Saxon part Of it"
