WHITMAN AT THE PRIMARIES
Both Republicans and Progressives
Want Him for Mayor.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Being one OF the old guard OF
the grand old party. you will kindly par
don these lines IL / contribute my views
as 10 the present situation relative to
the selections by the self-constituted
body known as the Hapgood committee.
The selection made by this commit
tee is, in my opinion. not valid. AS
understand II, the committee consisted
originally of 40 members. one having
resigned. leaving 100 members. At the
conference at which they made the Sc
lectlons headed by John Purroy Mitchell
FOR Mayor. only eighty-eight members
ESQ reported by the PRESS were present
and the ticket receiving the highest vote.
only forty-nve at that. did certainly not
express the sentiment OF the majority.
majority would be fftyflve.
But leaving this entirely aside District
Attorney Whitman's name Is the only
one heard who could carry greater New
York against any one Tammany may
nominate. There Is In my mind not the
least question that II Mayor Gaynor is
renominated by the Democrats John Pur-
roy Mitchell won't know he's running.
Since the selections made by the Hap
good committee | have met a number OF
Republicans. and even Bull Moose. who
openly brag If Mayor Gaynor is renom-
mated against Mitchell they will sup
port Gaynor openly. What also aston
ishes me Is that any consideration is
shown the Bull Moose. The leading
spirits OF the so-called Progressive move

and Mr. Perkins had the ammunition.
With the colonel lying low and the
head placed on Mr.. Perkins's barrel
again. there is nothing but wind left.
Look at their registration. Not over D
per cent Of their vote last year.
What the Republicans and honest Bull
Moose should do. as we'll as the MEM

go TO the coming primary In September
and express their choice for Mayor. and

The "Old.Fashioned" Hymns.

1t is not so easy to reform hymns as the dele
gates to the national convention of orsanists assem-
bled at Asbury Park seem to think. The appear %
hymn to congregation is made up OF many
things besides artistic merit Association with the
past counts for much, and he would be raSh
musician who proposed to slash a hymnbook 10
pieces and remake it nearer to the musician
standard.
About all that can be done is to drop the most
eCregious examples of bad music as fast AS they
fall into disuse and distaste. Some OF the worst
equipped with harmonies of the barber shop school,
are already obsoescent. But to throw out all OIL
Watts and Wesley, for example. as the radlcaS
propose, would leave our hymnbooks far poorer Ill
religious appeal to the bulk of churchgoers WITHOUT
offering any adequate substitute.
The truth is that hymn becomes great and be-
loved only by the sowest steps Unless 1t Is oiu
enough 10 be "old-fashioned" at can hardly do It's

For an Adamless Eden.

real reason Of the proposal is far different The
deyiser Of the idea wishes TO found a colony Tor

According 10 the announced plan women are to

RESPONSE TO loud pleas that women needed retreat

Mr.. Whitman's Service to the City
and to Fusion.

District Attorney Whitman's acceptance OF the
fusion nomination is fine act Of public service
The statement with which he accompanies it is the
manly utterance of one who puts the cause of de-
feating Tammany before everything else.
Mr.. Whitman sees the situation exactly as The
Tribune saw it when it declared its intention TO
support Mr. Mitchell in spite of its disgust with the
methods by which he was nominated The situa-
ton is that there is only hope Of heating Tam
many and that is through the union of all the anti
Tammany elements in favor of the ticket that has
been put in the field
Mr. Whitman sees this and he overooks his own
reasonable grievance at the way he has been treated
ignores the difficulty of the task that has been as
signed TO him and offers his strength TO the move
ment to save the city from graft and misgovern'
ment during the next four years He has done as
The Tribune advised him to do and as it never
doubted that man with his record for always
putting the service of the public first would do
It is difficult to estimate the value of Mr.. Whit
mans present service to the community and to the
fusion cause. He is the one man with real popular
strength with achievements that appeal to the
popular Imagination, whom the fusionists have put
I'D for office. Without his name upon it the fusion
ticket would be wofully weak. If it wins ana
there is now reason for hope that 1t will win, 1t
will be because he has consented TO run upon It, par
ticularly as his adhesion brings with it the support
of the Republican organization.
The reason for his delay in announcing his ac-
ceptance is now apparent He not content to
do ANYTHING less than his utmost to make the anti
Tammany movement a success, and he labored to
bring the Republican party with him to its support
Mr.. Whitman has accepted one of the most dill
cult posts on the fusion ticket running, as he does,
only in the present reduced County Of New York
where Tammany is almost invinciblo, The good
citizens of this county who under such great
obligations to him already for his splendid work
in office and who are put under even deeper obi
cations by his present should see to 1t that
he is reelected.
An ant-Tammany victory will be an empty one
