Why He Donoses Law for Mayor of New York
At a Jamyca Plain meeting of the Paul Revere Chapter D A R Rev Charles F Dole disclosed that an intimate friend of Thomas C Platt said Seth Low the reform candidate for Mayor of Greater New York cannot be elected because it would disrupt years of political plans.

Dole used the tale to urge D A R members to press husbands and brothers toward patriotism and purer politics.
