PRESIDENT
Judge W. A. Phillips
Some people base their op
position . to Governor Smith
on the ground that he hue oil
his life born associated with
the fjew York city democratic
organization known as Tam
many flail. The popular no
tion oC, Tammany’s vicious-,
ness arises from the foot that
Tamhiuny Is a DEMOCRATIC
organization while mozt of the
great metropolitan dailies are
REPUBLICAN! end also to
the fict that most of the
writers ph government are
Republican, Hence they take
great,pleasure in denouncing
Tammany Ball.
What are the facts! The
September number of a great
magazine carries an article
by a professor of Government
at Columbia University, locat
ed in New York City. This
article describes the organiza
tion of Tammany' Hall and
seeks.to appraise Its charac
ter., Tammany is simply the
machine which control! the
■ city government of New York.
It happens for historical
reasons, to be democratic.
Every other city in the Union
has a similar organization-
some democratic, some, repub
lican. The only important
difference between Tammany
nnd all the others Is that
