lone's campaigning against Tammany,
assigned detectives to inspect Mr.. Ma
| lone's record rs the assistant corpora
| tion counsel of New York, with the
view of learning whether he was alb
sent for any weeks during tho Prcsi-
| Dental campaign aud thereafter. The
purpose was 10 secure evidence that
Mr. Malone had drawn his salary while
neglecting his public duty. Mr.,
Murphy has not made public his find
ings, but it is said that he has decided
TO put forth every effort TO prevent Mr..
Malone s nomination.
The leader of Tammany Hall still be-
lieves in the methods which he adopted
in his implacable warfare against Gov
ernor Sul5er The result of that fight
was the overthrow of Tammany and
the election of Sulzer to the New York
Assembly, and vet the Tammauv chief
tain, thirsting for revenge, is still
seeking to destroy regulations. Mr.. Ma
lone, who is now the third assistant
Secretary of State, and who is the per
sonal friend and appointce OF Presi-
dent Wilson, displayed great courage in
his defiance OF Tammany, and, of
course. must remain for some time the
target of that organization s deadliest
shafts.
Tammany's chief weapon is intimida-
ton. IT frightens candidates, it
threatens oflceholders, it takes toll
from vice, lawlessness and crime. 1t
bullies those whom it directly controls
and seeks to destroy the regulations
of those whom it cannot command
Mr., Malone's latest offense against
Tammany is an interview which he
gave to the New York World after the
election. In this interview, speaking
as Democrat who has been n Tam
many man, he declares for a new
leadership of The organization. Re
ferring to Tammany, he says: "Apart
from his greed and obstinacy, one of
the striking weaknesses OF Murphy
imagination, and, he adds: "No man
can be leader Of party who has not
either or both. Any man can see what
is before him, but a leader must be
able to visualize conditions. He must
be able to foresec developments and
imagine what present conditions will
lead to in the future and Know what
efficient steps must be taken to bring
about a remedial situation. To do this,
he must not only be unsel6sh-he must
ha ofrio ho L.
sive, Again he says: 81 have no
doubt in my own mind the channels Of
patronage must be cut Off and this
Delmonico directorate must be starved
into surrender.
After insisting that there must be
change of leadership, Mr. Malone de.
clares: "What Bryan at Baltimore did
for the National Democratic party:
what Senator La Toilette in Wisconsin
did for the Republican party there;
what Woodrow Wilson as Governor of
New Jersey accomplished in leadership
and party purpose in that State, some
leader Of the Democratic party must do
for the people OF the State OF New
York. The opportunity is present-thc
leader will appear"
Herein lies the high crime Of Dudley
Field Malone. Unlike many another
political leader in New York. he has not
said Tammany must be destroyed; he
has merely said Murphy must he dc
posed, and Murphy, who has no inteu
tion OF being deposcd, resorts to his
old methods of mud-slinging in order
to crush or silence his young opponent.
The leader of Tammany Hall will find
that public sympathy all over the coun-
try rests with Mr.. Malone, and We are
greatly deceived if Mr., Malone does
not put tho Tammany cheftain to rout. |
