DESPITE TIRED VOICE
Fusion Nominee ROuSeS Two
Audiences to High Pitch
of Enthusiasm.

Although his voice was almost worn
out. John Purroy Mitchell spoke TO two
meetings yesterday afternoon, rousinS
them TO the same high. pitch Of enthu-
slasm that has char acterized his cam
palgn from the start.
To his first audience, in Hunts Point
Casino. numbering 1900 and including all
the fusion election district captains in
Tho Bronx, Mr. Mitchell repeated his
charge that Tammany would try TO steal
the election.
IT'S perfectly true that Tammany Will
try to run in repel;ers all over the city
said Mr.. Mitchell. "and perpetrate other
election frauds You people must be Wig
liant and remain vigilant until the count
is made. and you must watch that count
very carefully Unless you do that, all
our efforts will have been in vain.
But keep up the good work and we
will put Murphy cut Of business, and keep
him out"
Before Mr.. Mitchell began speaking one
man I'm the audience cried:
"Who Is going to put Murphy out Of
business?"
And from all parts OF the hall came the
cry of Mitchell
WHO put Haffen out OF business?"
cried another.
And again tho audience roared the an
swer: mitchell"
The Hunts Point meeting was presided
| over by Thomas w. Whittle. Commission
er OF Public Works i'm The Bronx. Other
, speakers were Eugene Mcclure. leader OF
tho Bronx County JeTersonan Union;
John j. Knewitz. chairman Of the Bronx
County Republican Committee, and Abra-
ham S. Gilbert.
From this meeting Mr.. Mitchell went TO
large gathering OF Germans at Turn
Verein Hall. at Sjth street and Lexing
ton avenue. Dr. Gustav ScholeE. former
Coroner, presided.
Before the Germans. who applauded
the fusion Mayoralty candidate for near
ly three minutes, Mr.. Mitchell denied one
OF the Tammany canards that are being
| circulated about him. This was that he
would eliminate the teaching OF German
from the public schools.
Nothing" he added. "is further from
the truth. | was brought up on the Ger
man language; / know its literature, and
when younger | could speak it as we'll as
English. And If | am elected | will see
that the teaching of German receives its
proper place in the public schools.
IF my opponent is elected. your amuse-
ments and recreations will not be inter-
fered with, but you will have to pay Mr..
Murphy for it, whereas under the fusion
administration we propose 10 give you
the policy of the square deal"
Mr.. McAneny, who followed Mr..
Mitchell, after telling of the economy
practised by the fusion Board of Esti-
mate, said
That Irish friend OF mine. Mr.. Hen
Messy has come down to us from Albany
to give us "A fash of Tammany govern
| ment and the way 1t practises economy.
| He has opened the eyes of the people of
this town more than all the tables Of
figures we have prepared and given to
them And now we all know that the
Governor was not punished for the wrong
he did, but for not doing wrong enough.
This reference to Sulzer received con-
siderable applause. When II ceased Mr.
McAneny continued:
THE motive behind Suffers impeach-
ment was not the publication of politics
| Imagine Murphy doing that-but because
he dehed the boss"
This too, received applause, and Mr.
| McAneny added:
81 believe the latest name for him is
| The Chief"
