.STRAUS SPEAKS
AGAINST SULZER
Davenport Also Urges Jews Not
to Vote for Former
Governor.

Frederick NJ. Davenport, regular Pro-
gressive choice for the nomination. Tor
Governor, wound up his ante-primary
campaign by an appeal to the jewish
voters last evening. Mr.. Davenport
was accompanied by Oscar Straus, who
also addressed the meetings.

Grand st., PA I'd st., Prospect Hall,
1871 East 10th st., 10th st. and LenoX
av., 237 Lenox sv. and 18th st. and
Broadway.
Davenport contented himself with
dencuncing William Sulzer as "hy-
brid Progressive" At the lower East
Side meetings, however, every mention
of Suffers name was cheered, ana
there was little applause for the other
remark Of the speaker.
In Harlem close attention was given
TO Mr.. Davenport's contentious. Mr..
Straus argued that Sulzer. although
responsible for the abrogation of the
treaty with Russia because of the
failure of that country to recognize
p1ssports issued to Jews, was not the
type of citizen he would urge the Jews
to vote for.
"SuI7er." he said, "does not repre-
sent the high ideals of American cltl-
1ership which intelligent American
Judaism stands for The Jews owe him
a debt of gratitude for his interces,-
zion IN the Russian matter. but l ASK
