TAMMANY LEADER
FULF|LLS PROMISE
"Boss" Murphy Redeems
Pledge to Give President VIII
son a Fine Send-0tt.
PARADE TWO HOURS LONG
BY N. O. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK, November $50, down
9Th avenue they came last night. the
democratic cohorts, in obedience to
Boss Murphy's command. in order that
he might make good on his promise to
give President Wilson a fine send-off.
There were thousands of them. with bands
galore and bugle squads and fife and drum
corps, and they had all kinds of illuminat-
ed banners about peace with honor and
prosperity and preparedness.
AS they marched every once In while
they would chorus the Tammany popular
song:
'Tammanee Tammanee,
Big chief lives in his tepee
Cheering braves to victoree,
Swamp 'em, swamp 'em,
Get their wampum,
Tammanee.
And so they went for two hours. be-
tween a mile of spectators crowding both
sides of 5th avenue. 1t was noticeable
that the crowds were silent and also ap-,
parent that among the marchers were
many hundreds of lads below the voting
age But it was grand turnout at that
and Boss Murphy was there in person
to give it proper Tammany class, or would
you call it eclat.
Takes Town by Storm.
President Wilson took the town by
storm yesterday and from noon until
bedtime was the recipient of con-
tinuous round of ovations. 1t was
Wilson day" to verify, and Mrs.
Wilson shared it. too. His reception
at Madison Square Garden was COM
parable to the frenzy of enthusiasm
which greeted William Jennings Bryan
in 1896.
Wherever he went during the day
he was fairly mobbed by enthusiastic
democrats, while the women rfsked
their paradise feathers to get a glimpse
And now today the town is looking
forward to the visit of Col. Roosevelt,
who is to have his turn at whooping up
the enthusiasm, while tomorrow Mr..
Hughes will take his place in the spot
light. New Workers are nothing if not
enthusiastic, and they dearly love a
spectacle. In the meantime che politi-
cal leaven is working. One yeast cake
which is being used is the advertising
space in the daily papers, and the poll
ticians, finding what the merchants
have long known, are going to it on a
scale never before witnessed in Ameri-
can politics. 1t is estimated that the
two political parties will spend close
this last week of the campaign. appeal
ing through the columns of opposing
papers in behalf Of their partfsanship.
Former Editorials Produced.
The republicans published in the New
York World, which is supporting Pres
ident Wilson, page of extracts from
former editorials in the World praising
Mr. Hughes when he was in public life
in this state They contrast. with some
of the things the World is now saying
about Candidate Hughes.
Republican hopes grow stronger day
by day as reports come in, while at
the same time they are apprised of the
fact tnat a great many republicans in
tend to vote for President Wilson. But
there is no doubt about the absolute
confidence of the democrats. Every
one in the national management sin
cerely believes President Wilson will
win. Some New York democrats, how
ever, who know conditions in the state
say in private conversation that they
would put New York in the Hughes col
umn on general considerations. They
add that they hope it may be a Wilson
landslide, but that if it is not land
slide they cannot see how the demo-
crafts can carry the state
