END OF "THE NEW TAMMANY.”

THE DEFEAT OF GÖVERNOR SMITH.......

NEW YORK CITY'S BIG POLITICAL UPHEÄVAL..

DAWN OF A NEW ERA OF REFORM.

New York City has just been through one of the most serious political upheavals in many years The dispate was as to who should rule Tammany Hall; the unofficial but all-powerful, organisation with in the ranks of the Democratic party which has controlled the city the greater part of the time for, more than a century.

Tammany had found new, larger, and more respectable felds of operation through an alliance with Big Business. It had learned to deal, on the basis of advance in formation, in the shares of great public utility corporations whose stock issues ran into millions of pounds, and to invest on a huge seale ia land along the routes of secretly projected rapid-transit

Complete Victory,

Strong Pressure. When it began to seem, seven cr right years ago, that Governor Smith might become the Presi dential nominee of the Democratie party the pressure for good be.. haviour on the part of Tammany became stronger than ever. The word was passed that there must no open scandals of a sort which would embarrass a possible can didature.

The result of the struggle was a complete victory for the point of view of these bosses. Governor Smith's prestige, which had already been gravely damaged when he was defeated by Mr. Hoover, has sufer ed another and almost fatal blow, and as a result he is virtually out of political life. It is one of the anomalies of the American political

Nearly everyone has heard of the corruption in which Tammany en- aged in the old days. Fifty years ago there was an open and shame less alliance with vice, Gamblers, saloon-keepers, and keepers of houses of prostitution paid beary toll for the privilege of doing busi- [ ness. In addition, at profits were made out of the sale of public utility franchises and of contracts to build public works of all sorts.

In the face of a rising protest that the members of Tami many wanted to "return to the old ways Judge Olvany resigned.

Recent Scandals,"

The struggle which nearly tore the "Wigwam" asunder came over the election of his successor. Mr. John F. Curry was finally chosen, a man who has come up through the ranks in Tammany, a professional politician, who would be the first to repudiate any pretensions to statesmanship." Mr. Curry has already, in polite but unequivocal aguage, indicated that The New Tammany" is to be strapped. In future, he says, the Wigwam vill ignore national politics.

particularly on Manhattan Island, the region where it has always been strongest.

Osten-

Taminany's Hold Over the Voters.

Foreign visitors always ask. What is the hold which Tammany has over the rank and Sle of the voters, so that they continue to return its candidates to office! The most important of these is probably. the sense of social solidarity. The chieftains of Tammany tatiously ally themselves with the poor; they take great care to use bad grammar even when it is not native to them. The reformers are invariably tagged as being silk stockings" and "highbrows"; a candidate for the mayoralty was once defeated on the solitary arga ment that he was a friend of the Vanderbilts? In addition, Tam- many has an elaborate machinery for giving aid to the poor, provided they are known to vote

Jobs are furnished, gaol doors are opened when the crime is not too serious, ice in summer and coal in winter are furnished free of charge in small quantities, and the captain of each district, in the old days. used to take his entire constituency once a year on an all-day steamship excursion to Long Island Sound.

The universal prosperity of re cent years has been something of an embarrassment to Tammany. Steamship excursions are now re- garded with contempt as being too naïve. Few are the families which cannot afford their own ice and have not moved out of New York iuto nearby towas and have become season ticket holders. Tammany, however, has always been adept at changing its programme to meet. changed conditions, and there is every reason to suppose that it will scandal in connection with its successfully surmount these pro- municipal administration.

It would be wrong to suggest that the interlude of sanctity which now comes to an end had been one of nalloyed sweetness and light. Despite the effort to keep things under cover there has not been a year in the past decade when New York City has not been rocked by the revelation of some notorious
