will swing every vote can to

Bitterness Is Growing.
The bitterness that has bee 80
apparent all week between the
McAdoo and Smith camps was
heightened today by a speech which
McAdoo delivered late last night to
some six hundred Of his friends and
supporters at the Vanderbilt Hotel.
He assailed New York as citadel
of privilege, sinister, corrupt and
unscrupulous," and attacked the
New York newspapers as being
unfair" to him.
He told his hearers he would
like to speak extemporaneously but
that in view of the pronounced
unfairness' Of New York news.
papers he did not dare to and he
proceeded to read a prepared
paper attacking the Interests
that are opposed to his candidacy
and stressing what he believed to
be the paramount issues of the

Attack Retaliatory.
McAdoo's attack on the New York
press was in retaliation for an al.
most constant bombardment which
he has been subjected to since his

They are writing letters to the

with Mr.. McAdoo soon after his
arrival here.
They see 'eye to eye" on the
question of sinister, corrupt New
York. and If the occasion arises
Mr.. Bryan is prepared to gain the
floor and speak his mind q bit.
He may repeat his famous 1919
speech at Baltimore, in which he
assailed the New York Democracy

there won't be any need Of such q

Mr.. Bryan also observed that he
believed MoAdoo would be the nomi.

described by Bryan as being "WaIl

Not to be outdone by anything
