purposes, and to serve his own ends,
he may. for the time being, pose as
their friend, but in the last analysis,
he is their enemy. You know what the
Bible says about the Pharisees of old.
They rendered lip service to Almighty
God. but their hearts were black, be-
cau-e they were doing it selfishly.
81 know you have all been students
of the affairs that have been going on,
and that you have followed them. Did
you notice that the attacks upon me by
Mr.. Hearst and his papers did not begin
until had appointed Judge Luce?
There was just as much sincerity IN that
attack as there is in the one that is be-
ing made upon the same Judge by the
same gentleman i'll his papers to-day
Because, three years ago. when Judge
Luce was the candidate of the Demo-
cratic party in this county and in the
Bronx County for Justice of the Su-
preme Court, he was indorsed by the
independence League, and here is the
ballot SO that which he did to render
him unfit, he must have done in the last
three years, and undoubtedly it was his
pointment to the Supreme Court. I was
asked to pick the man who, in my opin-
ion and in my Judgment, would go to
work and do the business Of the Supreme
Court, and who measured up to it, and
| selected Robert L. Luce
The Attack on Foley
There is as much sincerity in the
attack as there is in the attack on my
friend, jim Foley 1candidate for Sur
rogate) ! can think of nothing as
ridiculous as that Nothing He is
the man who, above all other men in
the Legislature, above all other men in
the state, made the largest ana the
greatest contribution to anything that
means Democratic success by standing
for what is right. And the awful
crime, the awful offence, the mortal
sin that he committed grows out of the
fact that the girl OF his heart happens
to be the step daughter Of the leader
81 read in the paper the other day,
in the same paper, that Mr.. Inter
myer was only thirty-three years old.
" hat an awful crime He should have
lived faster. Another great sin that
Mr.. Untermyer committed. is that his
father is prominent, wealthy man
of this city. Awful!
"While / am treating this matter
facetiousfy, / would not havesone Of
you go sway to-day without knowing
that felt injured in my heart by the
attack upon me for one great reason y
and that was that it looked like an at
tack upon my loyalty to the kind Of
people came from.
And what is particularly distress
ing is to have that attack come from
the owner of the journal and the
'American.'
His Papers Burned
that people in every small. municipal
pf Nv
where we are sitting day, were
burning his newspaper in public
squares, because ehev had in their
minds that he was not loyal to this
country in its hour Of need No one
can charge me with disloyalty, because
have been loyal. | have lived among
my people and they have respect for
me and confidence in me. Hearst
has been loyal to nobody, not even
to his own
Nov / think the greatest thing that
can be said in this hail to-day for this
ticket, is that it has been nominated
and that it viii win without his as
sistanco. And let ne incidentally say
that is as good thing as could
happen to this city, this state or this
country during this period Of unrest
l would be afraid TO have it said that
he could influence an election in the

record nis letter from Palm Beach
that says he is afraid our country is

"Now, | u know that have taker

NO, no! Go en!" came cries from
all parts Of the room. -"More More!
