ton when he appeared. The crowd
cheered and waved flags for several
minutes. Mr.. Littleton introduced the
speaker as "our next Mayor" Mr.

81 notice that Mr.. Murphy, ono Of
the Tsmmany candidates upon the
ticket for Mayor-one of the twin can
ddates making rejonder TO
something that had TO say, stated
that was not national Democrat.
that had not voted for President
Wilson, but had voted for Governor
Hughes in the late campaign. Now,
Mr.. Murphy knows that what he said
is false. / am not here to defend my
democracy, but do not propose TO Yet
him get away with that falsehood

respect for Judge Hughes, great
American, but in the late election !

son: and IL the conduct of the national
campaign in the City of New York had
not been in the hands of Mr.. Murphy
and his friends 10 the extent that they
excluded me from elaboration where
the candidacy of President Wilson was
presented TO the people, would have
been in active support OF him. The
fact is that the only meeting at which
they consented TO permit me to appear
was the meeting in Madison Square
Garden, and there they were careful
not TO permit me 10 speak for him.
THAT, gentlemen, is the kind of sup
port that he got from Mr.. Murphy and
his organization in this city, carefully
excluding the support that the Presl-
dent ought to have had in that cam
paign, with the result that you all
know that the vote in this city showed
the treachery that Tammany Hall ex-
ercised then, as It always has whenever
il believes its own advantage is at
stake"
Mayor Assails Untermyer
The Mayor repeated his charge made

Hylan was the candidate of Untermyer,
land of his kind, who, out of associa-
ton with Dumba. Won Bernstorff and
their like, raise their heads to spit
venom at any one who takes a strong
stand for America" and referred TO
Mr.. Untermyer's reply that he had
never associated with these gentlemen.
The Mayor continued:
az see bv the newspapers that Mr..
Untermyer says: What does he mean
by my association with Dumba and
Bernstorff | never met either OF them
more than three times in my life, and
never sustained any association. even
professional relation. with them.
What of the conferences at his home?
That is one fact which was the result
of one of these conferences with
Dumba and with Bernstortf that per

viewed and say. among other things.
on the night of April ., 1917, up at
Albany, while we were waiting for the
Senate to come in after that travesty
of a trial for contempt, while We were
sitting there, to say, according TO The
Evening Telegram as follows: Mr.. I'm
termyer also took occasion to declare
that he was opposed to the United States
declaring war. and termed the German
submarine zone a battlefield and said:
persons cannot go on a battlefield

should send our young men over to
Europe to fight with England, which

Hearst Doctrines Jingoism"
Gentlemen, Hearst's doctrine is:
Don't help England. Keep our men
from Japan. Be fearful of Japan.
"Any Jingoism that tries 10 stir up
trouble between America and one Of her
allies strikes at America in vital in
terest. Yes, the submarine zone is a
battlefield. That is the German doc
trine in good truth-the doctrine that
justihes the sinking of. the Lusltania,
with her American lives aboard; the
doctrine that justifies striking at the
merchant ships; that justifies the sink
ing OF the defenceless- is the Ger
man doctrine, the high seas battle
field. Don't send our young men
abroad. Don't help TO win this war for
democracy and liberty. Oh, no! Re-
main PROSTATE and let Germany sue
coed. This is the doctrine that in

ticket which is headed by Mr. Hylan,
and that is one reason why every de-
