Political Camouhage

Back in the old days, when there was
more talk of reforming Tammany from
within than there has been recently Mr..
Murphy gave utterance to the historic
statement: "I'm for the uplift-if uplifts
the word" "Uplift" was the word, but it
didn't make much difference in the prin-
ciples or methods of the Wigwam. Now
q new form of political camouhage seems
to be the reliance of the leaders of Tam
many-protestation of undying regard
for the interests of the voters, who have
been shamefully plundered by nefarious
corporations, and wofully misgoverned by
tools of those financial freebooters. If the
Democratic primaries ratify the selection
of Judge Hylan as candidate for Mayor
made by Tammany's personally conducted
Business Mems League, the preparations
will be complete for as thoroughgoing a
campaign of hypocrisy as ever emanated
from Fourteenth Street.
AS Judge Hylan conceives the issue, at
is the moneyed interests versus the peo-
rle." AS Tammany conceives the issue, it
is municipal ownership versus plutocratic
control or foundation CONTROL" as some
of the organizations agents put it, of gov
eminent. These are battle cries to stir
the heart and send the blood flying, but
scarcely to appeal to the brain of any
sensible voter. Judge Hylan may be sin.
cere in his denunciations of the moneyed
interests, but the only moneyed interests
Tammany ever felt unfriendly to were
those which wouldn't come across"
Tammany's protestations of virtue now
are just as genuine as Murphy's adoption
of "the uplift" a few short years ago
and not bit more so. The whole affair
is camoufage-an attempt TO throw dust
into the eyes of the voters, a pretence, 4
stall. Tammany seeks the control Of the
municipal government not for any purpose
Of lettering it or putting into effect re-
forms in administration, but for what
there is in it for the organization and the
insiders. Tammany's record is made, and
it isn't record of reform. The real issue
of this campaign is whether Mayor
Mitchel's splendidly efficient administration
shall be sustained and the men who made
it possible retained, or whether the voters
shall be buncoed by lot of high-sounding
but meaningless phrases.
