JIERE no long if doubt what the man who T caste his vote next Tuesday. for John F, Hylan votes for. He vot prop up in the Mayor's chair the feeblest figure that has been pushed through a Mayoralty campaign in the memory of the oldest New Yorker. | He votes to put into the highest municipal office in New York! &n insignificant pettifogger whose obscure record shows him to have, been as ready to serve crooked clients as straight ones, j He votes to install in the City Hall a Murphy-made Mayor to do | the bidding of Tammany in its new drive for pickings. He votes to give the greatest city in America a chief executive whose instincts are known to have led him among the disloyal, whose name has been associated with anti-Americanism of the! O’Leary and Cohalan brand, and who carries the suspicious indorse- ment of Hearst-Kultur. But what about the voter who, knowing this, shudders at Hylan, yet casts his vote for Bennett? Will this voter realize his mistake only after he has made it? Will Republican voters, independent voters, even disgruntled wnd Masatisfied voters who share at least the common dread of seeing the city in the clutches of Tammany, fail to grasp the situation? Will they delude themselves with the idea that divided forces can beat Tammany this year, although hitherto combination and concen- tration have been the only watchwords that ever brought victory to an anti-Tammany movement? | William M. Bennett may have estimable qualities, But the plain truth is that Mr. Bennett does not belong in this campaign. As a| candidate he haz been and continues to be Tammany’s best hope. Votes for Mr. Bennett will not elect Mr. Bennett. But votes for Mr. Bennett might help to elect Hylan. Mr. Bennett may not see this, But it’s not too late for Mr. Bennett’s followers to see it. _—_—+-___— KEEP ATTORNEY GENERAL LEWIS. HE candidates for the three State offices to be filled at the T coming election have had the good fortune to stand clear of the turmoil of the municipal campaign. Both the Democratic and the Republican parties have united to re-elect to the Court of Appeals Judges McLaughlin and Cardozo, Now comes a non-partisan committee of prominent lawyers, in-| eluding Charles B. Hughes and Henry W. Taft, Republicans, and David Leventritt and John G. Milburn, Democrats, to indorse Attor- ney General Merton E, Lewis for re-election. Their action is based upon the saine principle which determined the attitude of the bar of the State toward the Judges, and also upon Mr. Lewis’s record in his present office. They recall the fact that he was chosen Attorney General to fill a vacancy by the unanimous vote of Democratic and Republican mem- bers of the Legislature, and express the belief that he should be con- tinued in office regardless of politica, No more complete exposure of German intrigue has been made than that resulting from Attorney General Lewis’s recent investiga- tion of Bolo Pasha’s devious trail through New York, It wae a diffi- cult job amazingly well done in a remarkably short tiine. This kind of public official is worth keeping. —————oF¢- THE GAIN WILL BE PERMANENT.
