the Continent in his attempt TO obtain
$50 900 as his commissions.
Does any one believe that Mr..
Mitchell would have been employed by
this corpora ton if he had not been the
President Of the Board Of Aldermen,
with a vote in the Board Of Estimate
and Apportionment?
Can he explain TO the voters of this
city why he retained membership in a
firm, one of whom is a registered lob
byist in Albany for the e-president
of this Greensboro Corporation?"
Mr.. Mccall spoke at only three meet
ings in Manhattan last night, but they
extended from Astor Place to 2ooth street
and Webster avenue. One heckler asked
the Tammany candidate If it was true
that he was "Murphy's man." and Mr..
Mccall. his face clearly showing his
anger. replied:
Il don't see why / should repudlate
Mr.. Murphy. In ali the years that /
have known him he has never asked me
to do a thing that l could not do. Can
that be said OF Mr.. Mitchell and his news
paper MENTOR
At each of the meetings Mr.. Mccall
bitterly attacked The World" He was
late at the dinner given in his honor at
the Knickerhocker hotel and climbed into
his machine without dinner and at d
forty-mile clip went up Broadway to the
first meeting place, Arcanum Hall, at 18th
street and Nelson avenue, where he was
met by about five hundred persons. He
spoke of his paramount issue" real es-
tate, saying of the Moss tract:
That place has been sold at public
auction for s56s, $50 I'm open bidding, and
the city said that the plot was worth
about $4,000 for purposes of taxation.
Now who says that there isn't over
valuation
When a man in the audience assured
him what he said was right. the candi-
date switched to an attack upon THE
World"
Cannot the lives of our wives and chill
dren be protected against this person.
Pulitzer? Can't we have our homes not
invaded by the vileness and filthiness of
his paper? We must see that our sons
and brothers are not influenced by those
filthy cartoons suggested by the brains
| of that low-life Pulitzer. No. the clock
has struck for him and he has got TO
stop. Every place / go upon this stump
I shall tell of the RIGHTEOUSNESS of that
creature
When Mr.. Mccall attacked the news
| he shook both fists.
Next he spoke of the subway contracts,
saying:
81 signed those contracts, not along
pleasant lines. but while / was having
! hurled at my head the vilest vituperation
| and menacing threats that any Official
| ever faced. Yes, yes, / had to stand for
| il. and | did stand for il, and it did not
| feaze me one iota. But more than that,
gentlemen, by my refusal TO listen TO the
! threats and menace, TO the slanderous
| threats and to the slanderous editorial of
this man Pulitzer. l have had his en-
nifty ever since, and he has pursued me
and hunted me as he thought he was
doing, coward that he is. in his sanctum
with a newspaper. attacking a man who
has merely his voice and his hands 10 go
/ back at him.
He has pursued me ever since, but
will follow him. and l will never turn
my back on him. but face to face / will
20 at him all the time until 1 land him,
and land him l will; not in the sense that
chafe under criticism coming from
such a source as his; not that anybody
who calls himself decent pays the slight
est attention 10 a word he utters, but be-
cause believe that the civic life of this
community is menaced by such men as
Pulitzer and the spirit of journalism yell
low. and yellow. and yellow. that he
stands for"
