The evening world., 1917-10-26

I
ton was hardly noticed by the audi
ence, II having come from the first
row. I'VE are appealing to the people
and not to the Government, nor the
diplomats. and not to our bloodthirsty
| newspapers'--
boo, boo, boo. oo-ooh!" for the
newspapers. 1t was one of the finest
boos of the night, but then Mr.. Hill
quit hadn't mentioned Hylan yet.
Oh, wait! lie was the champion boo
oo-woob of the night. Now. then all
together
Where does Judge Hylan stand on
this vital issue?' Mr.. Hillquit asked.
Good night! Mr.. Hillquit wasn't
heard for several minutes The So
cialists taking votes from Mitchell
Hear them, hear them! Hy-what!
The boos came like the thunder OF
cannon, the Kisses shrieked like
shrapnel. Boo, boo-ask Murphy!
Boo, boo, boo! Hylan! Boo, boo.
boot" They boo-ed and laughed and
shrieked and hissed and sissed for
five minutes. 1t was Hylan boo-boo
night.
"He will have to answer" Mr.. Hill
quit continued, when he could again
be heard. There's no middle place
for any man in this campaign. Mr..
HYlan may have satisfied himself,
and he may have satisfied Tammany
on his stand in the war: but he hasn't
satisfied the people. He can't carry
water on both shoulders. The peop
want to know where everybody
stands on this issue. Are you going
to stand for Tammany throwing dust
in your eyes? Are you going to per-
NIT Judge Hylan to go to the polls
without answering the question Which
is uppermost in the mind and calcu-
lations of everybody. Are you going
To allow him to remain silent on
that question? There can be no
equivocation on the question, and |
ask Judge Hylan: Are you for peace,
or are you for war;
And / will continue TO ask him
right up election day, and he must
answer or take the consequences or
his silence or his declaration. While
the Government Is making the world
safe for democracy 1t is throttling
democracy at home. They call us An
archists. And we Socialists, branded
as disloyal, are the only party that IL
, upholding the American Constltu-
tion!"
There was some shouting, some
, applause at that, and Mr.. Hillquit,
a fter some enthusiastic delay, gllded
, down to his peroration:
, And on Nov. 1t VIII be up 10 you
