Hotel Astor last night. and attacked the

Robert +. Bowling introduced Mr. Nc
Can. who Immediately launched into a
criticism Of the citys financial condition.
what is the cause of the condition.
Mr.. Mccall said. IL have a habit of go
ing right at the point. / won't turn fifty
corners to reach an object. will plough
my way right plumb through the centre
TO get at IT, and / don't care by what
avenue of reasoning you pass or by what
method Of analysis you have got to come
to the conclusion that the reason for our
condition is the abnormal and outrageous
expenditures and the riot of extravaganza
that we have been indulging i'm.
Il make no charges against individuals;
make no statements that point at men,
but | say that somewhere and some place
there is a cause and that cause must be
ascertained and when asCertained the
reason for its existence and continuance
must be stamped out.
zone of the gentlemen who is running
upon the opposite ticket 10 the one that
have tie honor TO head says that a por-
tion Of this debt was forced upon us by
Tammany Legislature.
Il challenge you to prove the truth of
yo,,r 1tfarappa W IN WAS
so forced upon YOU. and II you do prove
il, then | say 10 YOU that whether that
Legislature be a Tammany or Democratic
Legislature, or a Republican Legislature,
If il be without cause, II il be without
reason that this debt has been forced
upon you, | would array myself against
II with just as much force as / array my
self against you"
Mr.. McCall's grievance against the
third newspaper was because. he said. IL
distorted a speech he made last night He
had spoken against the city's policy Of
parks.
Then he added:
Now. what was the result Of that
speech? Following a determined attack
of MISREPRESENTATION. following n line OF
action full OF deception. one sheet that
is published at highland / won't insult
the audience by naming it-says that Nc
Calls park lands are falling. and then
puts words in my mouth that I never
uttered-that they who wrote the article
knew | never uttered. but under the
policy OF deceit, under the policy OF de-
ception. under the policy OF personal
wrongdoing they twisted il into the fact
that / said that ! attacked the park and
Fairgrounds OF the city-an Infamous
falsehood. maliciously made by this news
paper"
Mr. Mccall ended his speech with the
following:
Don't you think for a moment that
have not measured with all the judgment
am capable Of bringing to a subject
Just precisely what an election to office
means in this city-the Mayoralty Of this
great city? The last thing In the world

want To assume. is that OF an alarmist,
but / want TO tell you that the man that
goes into the office Of Mayor on January
], 1914. whether il be myself or my OPP
ponent. he is facing four years Of the
hardest work, the most trying experience,
that will ever fall to the lot OF man"
From the Hotel Astor the Tammany
candidate went TO the Martinique. whore
he addressed gathering Of Supreme
Court attaches and their friends
"They gave our late lamented Mayor
his portion Of abuse" he said, and
only the grave saved him. The ma jor por

TO Mccall living. and | take II as the most
honorable badge they could bestow uTon
me-"
Next he addressed meeting Of the Nc
Call Theatrical Mems League, at No. 20
West 42d street. There he said:
