of the American Party,
To It's Candidates at
The Broadway Central
Hotel, New York, Last
Monday Evening

duce taxation, while the Tammany can
didate, in accordance with custom, must
give the fees to the man higher up.
We challenge Mr.. Smith to tell to the
voters Mr.. Bowers tells them
that if he, Smith, is elected that he
will turn over the fees of the Sheriff Is
Office to the City Treasurer instead of
to Tammany.
"The American Party, in view of
what the Bar Association says against
the Tammany candidate for Justice of
the City Court, has designated for that
office, Phillip c. Samuels, Esq, a well
known lawyer, and a popular citizen,
because he has made a splendid reputa-
tion at the Bar; because he stands high
in his profession, and has won the con-
fdence of the people by his capacity,
and his integrity; because he is honest,
capable and has a fine sense of justice.
Between Mr.. Samuels, our candidate for
Judge of the City Court, and the Tam
many nonentity, no friend of Justice,
no lawyer in the City, and no taxpayer
with common sense enough to distin-
guish the difference between a hawk
and a hand-saw should hesitate as to
how he should vote in this connection,
on Election Day.
'The American Party has designated
he
Representative in Congress, in the 23rd
Congressional District. He is the fusion
candidate. His election is assured. AS
matter of fact, between former Con-
gresham Bennett, and the boy relative
of the Tammany Boss, there should be
no question as to what the voters of the
23rd Congressional District should do
on Election Day. They should be Cor
William S. Bennett, for Congress, be-
cause of his peculiar qualifications for
the Office; because of his work for the
people; because of his eloquence and
experience; because of the splendid
record he made during the many years
he served in Congress; because there
never was time when the City of New
York needed Representatives in Con-
gress, of knowledge, of ability, of char
acter, and of experience, so much as the
City does at the present time. But
Bennett will win.
"The American Party has designated
a splendid ticket in Richmond County,
lead by the present honest, able, and
capable Borough President, Mr.. Van
Name, and our ticket in that county is
destined to win.
"The American Party has designated
winning ticket in Queens County,
headed by Mr.. Justice Humphreys, one
of the best Judges now on our Bench,
and Martin Mayer, for County Clerk,
whose peculiar qualifications to hold
that office cannot be gain said by his
most bitter political enemy. Queens is
alright!
"The American Party has designated |
superb ticket in Kings County, lead
by that fearless champion of honest
government, Col. Alexander S. Bacon,
for Justice of the Supreme Court, in the !
Second Judicial District. Col. Bacon
is an independent citizen, a great law
yer, and an Ameriean-through and |
through. He deserves success at the |
polls on Election Day because he stands
squarely for the progressive principles
and for the ideals of patriotic America;
because of his probity and sterling char
aeter; because of his fine sense of JUS
tice, and ability as lawyer; because of
the splendid work he has done for the
Social Welfare and Civic Righteousness.
Every effort on our part viii be made to
elect Col. Bacon Supreme Court Judge,
and the rest of our ticket in that grand
old County of Kings.
"The American Party-to a mans
for Woman Suffrage, and will vote for
the Amendment to the Constitution, and
do everything in its power, through its
agencies, in every part of the State, to
make the equal suffrage amendment,
giving the women the right to vote, a
part of the organic law of our State.
"The American Party is against the
adoption of the proposed Constitution
as submitted to the people by the recent
Convention. 1t is opposed
to the proposed Constitution because it
is a libel on free government, and a
menace to the sovereignty of our citi-
zenship; because it is involved, and
to the spirit of the age; be-
cause it is undemocratic, unrepublican,
and reaetionary; because
