Starting at zero, Judge Hylan has
steadily descended in public esteem
Where two months ago there was no
reason why Judge Hylsn should be
Mayor. there is now a multitude OF
sound reasons why he should be kept
out Of the City Hall"
This was the statement OF Mayor
Mitchell yesterday in discussing the
merits Of the Tammany candidate at
Fusion headquarters. In his five
speeches in Manhattan last night the
Mayor expressed similar sentiments in
renewing his attack on the Murphy
Hearst candidate
THE marvellous incspacity OF Judge
Hylan for the Office which be seeks is
daily becoming a greater wonder" said
the Mayer. 81 defy any person In this
city-not excepting Mr.. Murphy-to
name one serious or valuable thought
which Judge Hylan has contributed to
the present discussion of public ques-
tions. On the contrary, every time
Judge Hylan has opened his mouth he
has made himself and his masters
ridiculous
Commands No Respect"
The Mayor said he wondered how the
rank and file of Tammany relished the
idea Of being dashed into line behind "a
man whom they cannot respect" He
declared that there we're many two
hsted fighters in Tammany, and he won
dered what they thought as they were
asked 10 follow q candidate whose
method Of fighting was ito take to his
heels"
There are many men in Tammesy
Hall who would have no dealings with
a man whom they know 70 be a
swindler and a lailDird,' the Mayor
continued. Il wonder what they think
when they see the checks Of swindler
Goslin indorsed by Judge Hylan. which
he received and cashed while he was
running for Municipal Court judge.
There are lawyers in Tammany who
deal honorably with their clients. /
wonder what they think as they learn
that their candidate compelled client,
who is at the same time a relative, TO
appeal 10 the Supreme Court for money
due which Judge Hylan had already
collected.
There are many men in Tsmmany
who have sent their sons and brothers
20 fight for their country. l wonder
what they think when they are asked
20 support candidate who refuses TO
repudiate the seditious and disloyal
policies Of Hearst.
Republican Clnb Active
Even in Tammany itself the tide of
Indignation must be rising against
Hearst and Hylan. The members may
be willing TO disregard the work that
has been done for this city during the
last four years. They may think more
of patronage than they do of clean
streets, more of jobs than they do of
an effective police force. But when IT
comes to an issue where the lives OF
their sons and the honor of their coun-
try are concerned party loyalty must
give way TO loyalty to the nation.
Having gone on record as favoring
the reelection Of Mayor Mitchell, the
Republican Club is arranging TO take
an active part in the campaign. The
campaign committee, Of which Henry
W. Goddard is chairman, announced
yesterday that the club would furnish
speakers at five meetings 20 be held ut
Camp Upton on Friday night. The club
will also arrange frequent meetings in
all the boroughs during the remainder
Of the campaign and will hold a Re
publican rally IN the Academy of
Music, Brooklyn, on October 20.
