Whitman Attacks Tiger.


Before Mr.. Mitchell arrived at Car
negie Hall to address the Clergy anu
Laity Fusion" meeting. where he was
welcomed by more than three thousand
District Attorney Whitman, stating MS
desire to repudiate the advertisements
in which Tammany tried to make capt.
tai out of his Madison Square Garden
speech, flayed Tammany vigorously.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise was even
more bitter in his characterization OF
Judge Mccall than the fusion candidate
has ever been.
THE Tammany Hall candidate for
Mayor" he said, claims that no man
owns him. True 1t is that no man
could buy him, because Murphy Would
not sell so safe and probable an invest
ment. Judge Mccall denies that ne Is
Murphy's man. He is right. There Is
no such thing as 'Murphy's man. NO
man can be a man and Murphy's man
at the same time.
Poor weak, miserable Sulzer tried
to be a man, and Murphy's man at the
same time, with the result that he Is
out. and Murphy will soon be down"
In his trip into Brooklyn Mr.. Mitchell
spoke first in Stauch's Casino, Coney
Island. There he gave as an example
Of the opportunity for reform in the
Police Department his crusade in the
summer Of 1910, when he was acting
Mayor
"Tammany," he said, would make
YOU believe that when l am elected
Mayor l will give you a 'Puritanical
administration. My opponent came
down here and said that l would re-
strict every mans personal liberty
coney Island Not Hurt.
You people here in Coney Island
know what 1 will do, from what did
when I was acting Mayor. No sooner
had 1 taken that Office than swarm OF
complaints came in about conditions
in Coney Island. 1 sent down inde-
pendent inspectors to investigate ana
when they came back and put their
reports in affidavit form the reports
were so revolving that no newspaper
could print a descriptive line OF the
situation which the Police Department
allowed to exist.
THE next day sent down Inspector
Russell in charge of the force. The
same day he so harassed the vicious
element that it's members formed
parade, with a brass band at the head'
marched down Surf avenue and de-
parted, never to come back.
THAT is one example Of efficient po-
lice management, made without hurt
ing the legitimate affairs of any one
That is what you want, / believe, and
Coney Island has been clean ever since.
AT the same time / believe in the
fullest personal liberty. While l shall
protect the people against the gunner,
the crooks and the rest Of the vicious
element, l purpose to make sure that
every one shall enjoy liberty without
unwarranted interference In their legit-
innate business and harmless pleasures.
That will be carried out on Sunday as
we'll as any other day. with 'Le only
limitation that no man shall in.ringe on
the rights or consciences Of hers"
At the knights Of Columbus Hall,
Bushwick avenue and Hart street,
Brooklyn. Mr.. Mitchell mentioned his
membership in Council No. '705 Of that
organization. This is the same council
of which Judge Mccall is a member.
In addition to the meetings men
toned, the fusion candidate spoke at
Prospect Hall, Prospect avenue and
Fifth avenue, Brooklyn; Public School
81, Manhattan; Marconi Hall, No. 349
East Hath street, and the London
Casino, in The Bronx.
