STILWELL POINTS
PERKINS MORAL
Jailed Senator's Case Used BY
Prosecutor as Tammany
Horrible Example.

District Attorney Perkins got doan
70 hard tacks last night in his campaign
meetings In the 18th and 14th Assem-
bly, districts and on the lower East
Side. The Republican candidate for the
Office which he now holds told his audi
ences of specific instances where the
dangers OF Tammany control in pub
lie Office had been shown. and warned
the voters Of what they could expect X
Tammany succeeded in getting control
Of the District Attorneys Office.
Speaking at Pacific Hall, 209 East
Broadway, Mr. Perkins cited the Still
well case. in which Senator Stephen =.
Stilwell, long stanch Tammany man
in the Legislature, is now serving
term for bribery in Sing Sing prison.
The charges against Stilwell, as
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Codes he said, were made and heard
i'm the State Senate, comprised OF the
Tammsny contingent, aided by upstate
associates. who whitewashed Stilwell.
II is safe 20 say that no indictment
would ever have been found against
him in New York County had Tam

you will have 10 choose on Election
Day between Judge Swami and the
present administration. The candidacy
OF Mr.. Moss has no bearing on this
subject: whatever votes ne gets will
be votes thrown away. His only issue
is that ne is Frank Moss, and that ~
rot a very alarming issue, except as II
may be used to cut into the anti-Tam-
many vote"
