A. f.. Smith and Swami Will
Have Old Fashioned MAORI
ties, Says Secretary.
MOSS MONEY IN SIGHT

Tammany took a fling at campaign
prophecy yesterday. It's secretary,
Thomas r. Smith. who rarely braves the
future in this fashion. sent out the fol-
lowing prediction:
Because of the general public inter-
est In tho proposed new Constitution and
the question Of equal suffrage, 1t has
not been necessary for the Democratic
organization to expend any effort in
getting out the enrolled party vote.
This fact. together with the character
Of the candidates on the ticket. insures n
Democratic victory on Tuesday by an
old fashioned majority.
alfred r. Smith, candidate for
Sheriff. has received the unanimous in
dorsement Of the daily press and the I'M
solicited support oil the Citizens Union.
He has conducted u dignihed campaign
and will get a large independent AZ well
as Republican vote. Judge Swami is
also certain OF IN overwhelming plural
lily. His career on the bench and the
high regard In which he Is held as
jurist and lawyer made a defeat a
remote possibility from the beginning,
even II the Republicans were not hope
iessly divided between Mr.. Perkins and
Mr.. Moss.
That is ALL" said Mr.. Smith. II
nm not guessing on the size OF the
plurallties."
Charles L. Perkins made five opti-
mistic speeches last night. He aid that
"Mr. Moss Is simply making a grotesQue
figure of himself and playing a role
which does not deceive any thinking
man. To paraphrase Mr.. Croker. Mr..
Moss is working for T~ammany's pocket
all the time Why Mr.. Moss, who has
prided himself on his enmity to Croker
and Devery. should now rally to the cause
OF Mr.. Murphy Is a matter which Mr.
Moss can best explain"
Judge SWANS failure to attack Mr.
Perkins's conduct OF the District At
torney's office was proof hat Tammany
could md no true grounds for criticism
the Republican nominee said.
Judge swami he continued. 'pur.
poses, II elected, to r~eorganizc the Dis.
trict Attorneys staT, He gives no par.
ticular reason for desiring this reorgan
i~zation, and none other than a politica
reason has been suggested. ] am con
WINGED that a reorganization along the
lines approved by Charles +. Murphy
would result In a public upheaval tina
would put the tiger out Of the Crimina
Courts Building for years to come
The Frank Moss League. which before
the primaries said hat Mr.. Moss woult
beat Mr.. Perkins. figured yesterday tina
on November ? Mr.. Moss will receiy,

was offering even money that Mr.. Mos
would not get more than 1880 vote!
and > to I that he would not get more
