name, was fined twenty days pay for do
Ing his duty.
And then Jeromes voice became icy
and he read from the trial record OF
Police Headquarters the brief record of
a. case requiring. he said, no comment.
The record was. In brief that Sergeant
John A. Dunnigan, assigned on Decem-
Der IL. 1919. to investigate complaint
OF criminal attack upon fifteen-year-
old girl In house in Ninth avenue, was
charged at headquarters with two Of
Iences. First. he was accused of failing
TO make a proper report second of go
ing to the house the next day and him
self exposing himself indecently to the
same girl. AS Mr.. Jerome read the
record Dunnigan was found guilty on
ooth counts. The fine was the loss OF
twenty days pay. 1t was approved by
Commissioner Enright. The penalty i'm
posed on Dunnigan, thus charged. and on
kellar, who merely heldup the millionaire
deputy, were the same.
Inspector Dwyer. former Inspector
Costigan, the matter of Hylan and Cos
lin also figured in Mr.. Jerome's speech
Under Hylan's Hide.
At the outset Mr.. Jerome referred to
Mayor Hylan's assertion that Jerome is
being paid $4,000 for each speech. Mr..
Jerome said
I. when i was in politics once they had
a saying handed down from the fathers
that people do not squeal unless they
are hurt. When l came to read Honest
Johns lucubration Saturday night Il.
seemed to me it must have got under
his hide. 1t was awfully unkind of him
to forget to mention who it was that was
going to deliver this $4,000. The other
da., went up to headquarters and said
Henry Curran. where Ia that $4,000 that
was TO get for Saturday night" and
! didn't get it and 1t was awfully unkind
of him when | was SO nice and gentle
about my remarks about him not to tell
me where l was going to go to collect.
"But am going to go fast. am going
to get right down to brass tacks | am
going to picture as near as | can one
little chapter-later more-full of inter-
est am going to tell you little stories
by the way which will illustrate how
this plain business man has conducted
the affairs of the city of New York since
he was in.
1.-THE greatest fake that has been put
out as a campaign issue is this transit
matter. How 1t is to finally shape itself
do not know Hylan does not know
and nobody else knows that / have been
ahle to talk with: not even Sam Inter
there is one thing that concerns you and
that concerns me and concerns every
body, and this Is that the city OF New
York was built on the proposition that
we had a cent fare and that we were
never going to have a greater fare, and
there was never in the city of New
York any idea Of having anything but
a cent fare.
''The only possible reason that more
than 5 cents will ever be exactcd for
fares in the city of New York may be
because some Federal court would hold
that the cent fare was confiscatory.
I do not understand. you do not un-
derstand and l do not know anybody
that does understand just how the
scheme Is to be worked but l have yet
to believe anybody that does say the
city of New York has had and the city
Of New York never will have more. and
the man who prances around as the
person who stands as the bulwaril to
shield and protect the poor of the city
Of New York is faker. because the
voters will take care OF that.
Have Ears to Ground.
II am speaking of politicians. whether
they be Democratic or Republican or
anything else. You know they have
their ears to the ground to hear the
voice of the people and the first polit-
clan who pretended he would want to
make the fare more than cents, he
would not have to have his ear to the
ground: he would hear the voice of the
voters OF the city OF New York speak,
ing in tones he would understand.
You know and ] know that no polit-
clan, no Legislature nor any Governor,
nor anybody else ever attempted to ad-
vocate anything more than cent
fare. So there Is no issue. How can
there be an issue that everybody agrees
on and everybody is for? But it Is
smoke screen. the camounage. to per-
suade you that he stands for the poor
man who would be taxed 10 cents a ride.
Why. it is the deepest insult to your in
telligence that ever was perpetrated.
There Is one other feature in Honest
Johns campaign, and that Is what news
paper men in their private dissertations
call sob stuff. that Is put In Honest
Johns speeches.
Now the issue before the people OF
the city Of New York is the selection
Of a hired man to fill the job of chief
executive OF the biggest business cor
poration in the world. And how does
he make good as showing he Is capable?
He says. I was a poor boy Well. foi
Gods sake. was he the oniv moor how
