...overshadowing the continuous inuendo of traction scandal that has been the chief note of New York news columns for some time past come the startling reports of the corruption of the police officials, which cannot but reflect on the present administration. Perhaps the satellites of the Enright regime have overstepped and taken in too much hush money for "restoring" stolen automobiles and furthering the illicit liquor traffic...
...When we read that this is the first of many assemblies of a similar kind that are to be held all over the city, we cannot help being reminded that the election of the next mayor of New York is to be this coming fall.

Its existence is not nearly so important as the fact that the police cannot handle what crime there is, which is plenty enough. Commissioner Enright has not denied the many charges of incompetence.
