SPECIAL TO THE BROAD AK.

"In view of the vote polled by the
American Party, in the last State Cam
paign, no apology is necessary for its
activities in this campaign.
"The politicians know the American
Party is here to fight the battle of the
taxpayers, for honest government; to
destroy corrupt bossism; and to abol-
ish the iniquitos system of Bipartisan
graft, called Fifty-ffty, by which tax
alton is doubled, and the few wax fat
and flourish at the expense of the
many.
"The American Party asserts that
the so-called Democracy of New York
can never succeed under its present
deplorable leadership, which constitutes
a political despotism worse than any
thing ever known in the political sys-
TEN of autocratic Russia.
GAS the so-called Progressive party
wanes, and passes into the shadow, the
American Party, which stands for good
government; for decent citizenship; for
a square deal; for the rights of the
people; for the dignity of labor; for
woman S suffrage; for the Social We'll
fare; for the ideals of patriotic Ameri-
ca; and for the perpetuation of the
free institutions of the Fathers, looms
larger and larger on the political hori-
ION, and is destined to play a more
important part in the future than it
has in the past.
"The American Party is alive-very
much alive. The so-called Progressive
Party is dead-very dead-and as its
ghost, in the person of Terrible Teddy,
struts the political stage to disturb
the Presidential dreams of Republican
candidates, there appears to be none
but Victor Murdoch to mourn its loss,
or shed a tear over its hasty demise
All of which goes to prove a party
cannot be kept alive to crafty the
spite of a disappointed man.
"On this festive occasion we can
congratulate each other, and the peo-
pie, that the American Party has des-
ignated "a winning ticket in every
Borough of Greater New York. When
our candidates are nominated in the
primaries tomorrow night, and the
politicians get the perspective, they
will realize the significance of this
remark, and wender at their stupidity
and lack of political sagacity.
"The American Party is anxious to
prevent Tammany from getting con-
troll of the District Attorneys Office,
and utilizing its machinery for black
mail, extortion and persecution. The
honest voters of New York County
know Tammany, and realize the danger.
For many years they have refused to
give Tammany this great Office to util-
ize its weapons for personal spite and
political ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
"The American Party has designated
the Honorable Frank Moss, as its can
didate for District Attorney, because
he is peculiarly qualified for the office;
because of his legal ability; because
of his sterling integrity; because of
his high character as a citizen; because
the people know he is free and indie
pendent; because they know he will be
a fearless prosecutor of the guilty as
well as a conscientious defender of
the innocent. If the Republican Bosses
had an ounce of political common sense
they would have made Mr.. Moss the
Republican candidate, so that there
would be a fusion candidate for Dis
trict Attorney against Tammany, and
then the election of the fusion candi-
late would be assured beyond the per-
adventure of political doubt. But it
s not too late. The enrolled Repub-
lean voters can remedy this mistake.
"The American Party has desig-
mated Frank K. Bowers for the import |
INT Office of Sheriff, of New York
County. Mr.. Bowers has demonstrated,
Is under Sheriff, his capacity, his fit
less, and his ability, to administer the
Iffairs of this position to the satisfac-
ion of the Bench and the Bar, and
or the welfare of all the people gen.
rally. As between Mr.. Bowers, our
for Sheriff, and Al Smith
Mr.. Murphy's handy man for years at
taxpayers of this County
hould have no hesitancy as to whom to
Import, especially in view of the fact
hat Mr.. Bowers says that he will give
he fees of his Office, amounting to more
han $4,000 year, to the City to re-
