Borough President Currar, Senator
Charles c. Lockwood and Vincent
Gllroy, candidates for Mayor, Comp
troller and President cf the Board
of Aldermen on the anti-Tammany
ticket, last night at the National Re
publican Club aroused enthusiasm bv
stirring addresses attacking the Hylan
administration Tor its failure to make
good on its promises.
"In October, 1915" said Senator
lockwood. John F. Hylan promised
ne fathers and mothers of this city
that every pupil should have q seat
IN school. At that time there were
$4,000 children on part time That
pledge has not been kept. There now
are 126,oo0 children on part time and
700, 600 on duplicate time. Hylan
promised the people of this city
lower taxes. The tax rate under his
administration jumped "a points in a
single year.
Cites Curran's Record
''in glaring contrast with this record
of broken promises | present for your
cons5dera tion the brilliant ach ieve-
ment OF Major Henry II. Curran,
whose idea of tax exemption for new
dwellings resulted in the erection Of
$3.50 900 900 worth OF new buildings
In this city in a year. There is no
record to compare with this in any other
American city. My distinguished op-
ponent for weeks has been conducting
his political campaign from Room 614
IN tho Municipal Building. After d
legislative committee had compelled
readyertisine for bids on jobs awarded
by tho Hvlan Board of Estimate at a
cost of SS5 900 900, the readvertising
resulted in saving to the city Of
SIS 900 900.
Senator Lockwood said the sole re-
sponsihility for gross extravaganza,
waste, graft and loose government dis
closed by the legislative investigating
committee was chargeable to Hylan
and Craig
Mr.. Curran said that not once since
January OF this year had he
had the slightest doubt that the anti
present incompetent Tammany admin
istration from control at the City Hall
lie urged the maximum of effort in
getting out a full registration, and
gave warning that no one had moral
right to complain about bad govern
ment if he or she failed to register
and vote.
Vincent Gilroy charged that every
time e. shovelful of dirt was turned
for a new schoolhouse or pile driven
for a new pier, the Hylan administra-
tion took occasion to utilize the Incl
dent for political advantage.
Hylan and the Trackless Trolley
''The latest exploit along this line"
he said, "is the announcement that on
Saturday of this week Mayor Hylan
Will preside at the opening of the track
less trolley in the Borough of Rich
mond. 1t is entirely fitting that the
'rackless trolley should be started by
the brsinless Mayor of New York
From present indications he will lead
The voteless ticket on Novem Der s."
In addition TO the candidates named
there were present last night Ernest F.
Eilert, candidate for President of the
Borough of Manhattan; Helen Varick
Roswell, candidate for Register; John
Kirkland Clark, candidate for District
Attorney; Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen,
OF the General Sessions Court William
Fl. Chorosh and William J. Millard,
