Ten men on horseback had driven up

THE efforts of the Fusion Committee
OF 1913 10 secure bipartisan city gov
eminent have been splenddly justified
by the results of the last four years"
said Mr.. Childs yesterday. New York
to-day is the best governed big city in
the United States. For the first time
in her history we have had an admin
istration that has shown conspicuous
ability in improving public service and
in giving greater benefits has at the
same time greatly reduced operating
expenses.
New York. in other words, has re-
ceived more for its money spent in ad-
ministration than before, and il has
spent less in administration by s1,750,-
600 than in 1914. The time has again
Gene for US TO decide whether we want
a continuance of this clean. honest.
vigorous, businesslike programme, or
return to Tammany methods.
I'VE believe that patriotic and law
abiding elements in this city will de-
TGnd continuance OF this programme.
An economic and efficient and patriotic
administration of New York will con-
tribute greatly to our national success
in the big undertaking in which we have
entered with our allies. Our platform
committee will carefully consider all
these phases of city government We
are expecting 'them TO frame pro-
grLmme that will guarantee the com
plction of the administrators present
unfinished plans for better New York
and define clearly the things that, with
a continuance OF the fusion administra
ton, we shall hope TO accomplish dur
ing the next four years"
