The New York mayor- ality election this fall is the more interesti cause the Tammany Tiger has sought to dec the people by changing its stripes, Just now the Tiger is purring away and is willing to lick the people’s hand, simply that it may later spring upon the $800,000,000 that New York will spend during the next four years. Between the money-thirsting Tiger and the citizens of New York stands Otto T. Bannard, the Republican and Fusion candidate for mayor. No serious-minded person thinks for @ moment that William J. Gaynor, the Tammany Hall candidate, could ever control the powerful beast that now peacefully lies at Gaynor's Gaynor’s record is summed up by the Outlook as follows: ‘ At beat it is the record of a sentimentalist who can be used as a tool of the vicious and the disorderly by designing poli- ticians.’” Mr. Bannard began life at the bottom round of the ladde Leaving the grocery store where he was employed as a clerk, he climbed to the college hall on the hill. After working his way NO LON ‘NI SAIN, OL >4YOA MANS through college, he became a law student. In time the law office gave way to the manufacturing plant. Always successful in man- aging his own business, there is every reason to believe that he would be equally successful in managing the affairs of the city. Mr. Bannard has long been one of New York’s most useful citizens. He helped to create the New York Charity Organization Society (at the present time he is its vice-president). To prevent future rob- bing of the poor by the money-lending sharks, he helped to form the Provident Loan Society, which has been properly called ‘ the poor man’s banker." To encourage school children to save their pennies, he was instrumental in founding the Penny Provident Fund—the bank of the school children. Luck of space—no editorial fib—pre- vents Jupcr: from enlarging the list of the public-spirited enter- prises with which Mr. Bannard has actively been associated. From the Bannard tree the public has gathered nothing but figs. The issue in New York is aclear one. JunGe agrees thoroughly with the viewpoint from the Outlook : If the people of New York want the lawless to be master, they will elect William J. Gaynor as mayor; if they want their guardians to be in control, they will choose Otto T. Bannard, the very opposite of Judge Gaynor in tem- perament, record and political methods.” In other words, it is the man or the Tiger. SCENE IN NEW YORK’S POLITICAL AMPHITHEATER.
