knell Of Tammany The great issue OF
the campaign Is whether Charles +.
' Murphy Is 10 have vote Of confidence
or is 10 be rebuked decisively for his
arrogance in unmaking a Governor who
refused To obey his orders Scores OF
lifelong Democrats within the last
twenty-four hours have told me of
their resentment, and am sure they

political conditions for many years
said last night:
"Hennessy certainly has got one Of
the most wonderful and moving stories
I have ever heard. II contains the
most powerful campaign material that
