Mayor Mitchels rejoiner to this was
rather heated. He said that the view
taken by Mr.. Cans that the people
of New York City permitted black
mail and corruption" because a large
majority desired that laws affecting
gambling and prostitution be broken,
remained to be proven.
However If the people of the city
desire to return to the days of Van
Wyck and Devery," added the mayor,
they ought to get them.
Mayor Mitchell said he desired that
more young men in the police force
should be promoted to the higher po-
sitions in the service, and for this rea-
son he wanted to see promotion made
the reward for merit instead of poll
tical services.
Col Goethals, said the mayor, shared
this view, and this was one of the
reasons why he would not seek any
other man for the police commission
ership until all hope of getting the
head of the Panama Canal Zone gov
ernment had been lost.

They accuse the prelate of being an

"A whitewash brush has been placed

matter and taking into consideration
the volume of voluntary assurances OF
support, which have come to me from
all sections of the State, l have de-
cided to consent to enter the prlma-
ries in June.
Believing as I do, that the greatest
value of the primary is in placing III
the hands of the people complete
opportunity to fully and freely voice
their sentiment in the selection of can
didates. and recognizing the fact that
the people of great State may wide
" and honestly differ in their views
regarding theh different ones VINO may
