WHAT THE ACTIVE WORKERS ARE DOING.
FAIR COUNT WILL RESULT IN ERHARDT's ELEc-
TIoN-HARMoNY AND ZEAL ON ALL SIDES.
The men who are best informed about the work.
ings of the so-caled machine" are hard at work,
feeling confident of success. They only ask Re
publicans to stand by the straight party ticket
and they Lelieve that they will Here are the
opinions of some of them:
ALDERMAN ALFRED r. CoNKLING-My district,
the With, will give believe, solid Republican vote
Colonel Erhardt His election on November 9 Will
mean an change in the several departments and
Republicans, realizing this as they did fortnight
ago. that time for oyerthrOwng the present corrupt
rule has come and that the power to do this is within
their own grasp / believe that they will fail 20
use It. Every day l meet Republicans, and Democrats
too who two weeks ago thought that they wuld be
obliged to for Hewitt choice OF evils but who are
now at work for Colonel Erhardt believe that Erhardt
will be the next Mayor of New.York
ALDERMAN JAMES G. McMURRAY.-I have I'M
usual facilities for noting the change in the tide on the
Mayoralty question and have taken great pains to i'm
prove them. without fear Of contradiction that
the Republicans who voted for Mayor Hewitt years
ago have steadily coming toward Colonel En-
hardt from the day OF his nomination know that
many Of men, whom the George movement fright
ened into the Hewitt fold in 1ss6. have said that they
would vote the way again. But that was before
Colonel Erharit's nomination. give the names OF
many Of my acquaintance who have told me that II
they had supposed the Republicans would put such
candidate they would not have given the support Of Mr.
Hewitt second thought. l greater enthu-
siasm among Republicans. All that Erh0rdt needs is
the united Republican vote, and believe he viii get it.
POLICE COMMISSIONER STEPHEN b. FRENCH
There wematured plans to prevent Illegal voting In
this city November 6, and the police force, from
Superintendent Murray down, will act like unit in
preventing fraud in the election. The voting in New
York will be honest and all the will be counted
Honesty in election always counts In favor
Of the Republican party Every day We hear OF Re-
pubcan who intended for Mayor Hewitt changing
their minds and saying that they will help elect Mr..
Erhardt AS Republican victory becomes assured
the vote for Mr.. Erhardt will get larger and larger
JOHN ]. o'BRIEN.-The vote for Mr. Erhardt in the
With Assembly District will be large il will
stonish the hopeful OF the uptown Republicans
