He also contradicted General Bells
assertion, published on Friday, that
the Socialist candidate had been barred
from camp because his political mana
gers had refused 10 guarantee that he
would not make remarks "subversive
to military discipline"
The letter reads, IN part:
Mayor Mitchel's letter to you re-
questing you in substance TO recon-
slider your decision barring me from
addressing the soldiers at Camp Up
ton and your reply 10 the Mayors re-
quest have been given such wide pub
licity By the New York press and have
been so freely used as campaign ma
terial in behalf of one Of my rivals
in the pending mayoralty contest that
IL becomes necessary for me TO ad-
dress you on the subject in order to
state my stand to you and to the
public.
ITO begin with, have no criticism
to make OF your order prohibiting pub
lie discussion of nature "subversive
of military discipline" at the camp. !
fully appreciate that any expression of
opposition to war and any criticism of
the governments war policies would be
out of place in a military camp, and
in applying for permission to address
the soldiers | had intended to confine
my discourse strictly to the political
and economic issues directly involved
in the municipal campaign. Explicit
assurances to that effect were given
70 you by my representatives, but you
chose to disregard them without even
making an effort to ascertain my atti-
tude or intentions by direct communi-
cation with me.
The result of the extraordinary
proceeding is that, while all my rivals
for office are permitted to urge their
claims 10 the votes of the boys al
Camp Upton by direct appeal TO them
and personal meeting with them. this
right is withheld from me and the
political party have the honor TO rep
resent in this campaign. You are thus
giving a distinctly partisan political
advantage 70 some candidates. By
your order you have arbitrarily cur
tailed a vital and fundamental civic
right Of the citizen soldiers at Camp
Upton.
"A grave mistake. general. as | see
IL. was committed when you first an
nounced that you would permit any
political meetings within your canton
ment.'
