Malone Attacks Governors
Recent Appointments as
Hopelessly Bad.
COLLECTOR DIFFERS
WITH OSBORN
Hints That Glynn Will Be
Read Out of Wilson
Brand" of Democracy.
HITS AT TAMMANY HALL
His View Indicates Renewed Eff
forts to End Machine Grip
on Committees.


In my judgment, from the point OF
view Of efficient government and from
the point Of view OF clean, progressive
Democracy the greater number OF
Governor Glynn's recent appointments
are hopelessly bad. 1t is now quite
clear that the state administration is
dominated by the Murphy influence.
Governor GlynL has chosen his po-
litical alignment and association, as
he had a perfect right to do. AND
Murphy, McCooey and 'Packey' NC
Cabe must be eminently satisfied with
the Governors plans for his party S
'uplift' But the men of the rank ana
file of the Democratic party III New
York State are as progressive as III any
state in the Union, and notWithstand-
ing present untoWard conditions, they
are worthy Of reward and will get rea!
progressive leadership in their party.
Dudley Field Malone, admitted local
representative of the Wilson admin
istratio in these words yesterday in
dicated for the first time since the ap-
pointments were announced just now
the national leaders of the Democratic
party felt about the result of the up
lift" alliance.
He left little doubt in his remarks
that Governor Glynn, By hi acqui-
escence i'm Tammany's demands 1or
patronage, was to be read out OF the
Wilson brand" of Democracy, and
would be regarded solely as part or
the Murphy machine. which the Col
lector and those behind him are hght-
ing 10 eradicate.
you can take my remarks as
strongly as you like" said Collector
Malone.
Differs with Osborn.
The Collector was disposed TO treat
lightly the Endorsement OF the appoint
ments made the night before by VIII
lam Church Osborn, but it was evident
that in the coming gubernatorial cam
naign the Democratic State Committee
will not receive any assistance from
federal sources if the Governor oenehts
BY his appointments to the extent OF
nomination. The opposition to Murphy
ro,itics will not stop at that negative
attitude: with the primaries IN sep
tember will come active efforts 10 re-
move the machines grip on the state
and CITY. committees. the stronghold OF
Tammany power.
Mr.. Malone's attention was directed
to accounts of the state chairman s
sneech al the dinner Of the Westches-
ter County Democratic Club, where ne
said that "by and large the nomina-
tions made by the Governor were hlgh
grade"
"I regret" said Mr.. Malone, that
Mr.. Osborn's opinion Of progressive De-
mocracy and mine are so radically dll-
ferent. but 1 do diner with him most
No appointment Is pro-
gressive when 1t is Influenced.
II am not interested in the attitude
Of state chairman or Of a state COM
mittee so long as the majority in the
of that committee is OF
Murphy type What / am interested IN
is in lighting the domination of state
nolitics by the Tammany system. !.
too. believe in party organization. But
there is vast difference between an
and a machine. The or
should exist for the good
Of the party, but the machine invaria-
bly, exists only for the good Of the men
who control it.
NO matter what Mr.. Osborn's opin-
ion may be, the intelligent people of
the state know that the most impor
tant appointments made by Governor
Glynn were dictated by Murphy, Nc
Cooey and McCabe. / do not care TO
go into the details Of the appointments.
but, like that Of 'Packey' NcCabe, they
speak for themselves"
