william NJ. Bennett, overwhelmingly
defeated as the straight Republican
nominee for Mayor. said last night:
at is to be remembered that direct
ly after the primaries stated that the
one great lesson of the primaries was
that Mr.. Mitchell could not defeat Tam
many Hall, and / offered to abandon
my plan for a recount if Mr.. Mitchell
would withdraw, and we would let the
Republican City Committee select a
candidate who could defeat Tammany
Hall.
"This offer of mine to withdraw II
Mr.. Mitchell would also retire was made
in good faith, in the interest OF the
CITY and 10 save il from Tammany. Mr..
Mitchell contemptuOusly waved aside
this offer, and in an interview called
II 'bombast.' The election figures to-
night show that ! was correct IN that
view. and that by not accepting my
offer Mr.. Mitchell and his packers nave
turned the city over to 1ammany nan

attempt Of the Mitchell hackers to steal
the soldier vote, so Infatuated the yot-
ers that their sole idea was to defeat
Mr. Mitchell In carrying out TINS de-

would hive voted for me voted for Mr.

ten DAYS after the discovery of the prl-
mary frauds ! could have been elected.
Tammany Hall would have gone out OF
existence.
"Mr Mitcheps independent candidacy,
launched two weeks before his defeat
in the Republican primary, backed by
a great aggregation Of wealth and fos-
tered by a theory Of fraudulent Grim
iral acts. TO steal the election, like the
attempt that had been made to steal
the primary for him. is responsible for
the return Of T9mmany Hal 90 power.
"The Mitchell hackers, by fraud and
the use OF money. have brought the Re

cially in Manhattan and The Bronx,
down 10 the level Of the organization
under Jake Patterson twenty years ago.

Gov. Mccall Gets
$4,000 Plurality
I'm Massachusetts
Greatest Plurality for Ex-
ecutive in the Last
Fifteen Years

BOSTON. Nov. 6.--Any latent anti
war feeling in Massachusetts was
buried to-day by an overwhelming
plurality given to Governor Samuel W.
Mccall, who ran on a win-the-war
issue. He defeated Frederick W. Mans
field. Democrat, by $4,000 plurality
about $4,000 more than during the
Presidential year. A normal Demo-
cratic plurality in Boston Of over 25'-
600 was reduced TO 5,0l2.
The Socialists made no stir during
the campaign, and were so lost IN the
excitement on other subjects that their
votes were not counted till the last. 1t
was expected that they had polied just
about enough to continue their lega!
standing as a party, and that'E all.
The greatest interest was in tho So
called anti-aid amendment TO the State
Constitution. which provides that no
public appropriations shall be made for
the support Of sectarian institutions.
II was adopted by about $4,000.
Originally 1t was planned to forbid
public appropriations for sectarian
schools. Catholics in the Const tu-
tional Convention obtained the adop-
ton of a compromise keeping all pri-
vate institutions from the public treas
urv. Cardinal O'Connell was under
stood 70 approve it. Then he started
a campaign against 1t.

All are built around square gardens of

When it was decided to convert the
long-standing Belt Naamah into a
hospital the nucleus Of the staff ar
rived and encamped in the court yard.
The house was full of Arabs and the
women were still in the harem, while
the sanitary conditions and general
filth of the place were uncomfortable.
Arabs, women, furniture and all were
cleared out, and everybody turned to
the work Of housekeeping with a will.

washed, water supply, drainage, kit

and appliances were accumulated, and
In about month the hospital was
ready to receive patients.
Every evening nowadays a row of
convalescent officers may been seen
on the embankment under the orange
trees, peacefully fishing. There is a
fine breeze off the river, and the air
is free from dust. Many avow that

which is really free from dust.
