We have an executive to secure results, not to observe forms, and the policy of strict enforcement does not secure the desired results; it does not prevent vice. The course of Mayor Low is right because he secures the results most beneficial to the community. If Mayor Low strictly enforces the law, it means that Tammany will come in at the next election, for before election Mayor Low repeatedly pledged himself to enforce this law judiciously...
