 T"ENrN-SECoND ASSEMBLY, DIS TRICT.
 Nowhere in the city has the campaign been pushed with equal vigor as in thls district. It was the banner district in lSS6, and kept that position in all the subsequent political contests of Labor. It's organization numbers more than 20o active members in good standing; it has two large sized sections: an English and German one; 1t was the first in the field with full set of certificates of nomination, l62 signatures being ob- talned on one night, and 200 or 300 more voters were ready to sign if their sig natures were wanted; from the start it inaugurated systematic agitation in halIs-large and small-from Parepa Hall, seating over ,000, to places seating only 100, m the various sections of the district; and soon after that it started Tn addition regular open air meetings. | These were held every single evening when the weather permitted, and soon | became the feature of the agitation in that section The whole district was covered in that way. The endeavors of the heelers to break up these open air | gatherings failed pitiably; at times even | the police tried trick or two, but they gave over the attempt as soon as they discovered they had to do with men who knew their rights and were resolved to maintain them. The Committee on Agitation had these meetings especially in charge; they provided the platform | sometimes truck, sometimes two bar. rels with couple of boards on top-and also the illumination. The speakers were promptly on time; and the audi ence never failed; it varied in size, but never m attention; and handbils giving valuable information were distributed. | That many converts have been made in thls manner Is certain, that the ground has been plOwed ready to bear fruit in later campaigns with many more is | equally certain. Besides the two sec. | tions of the political organization, the district has had the advantage of a third body, composed mainly of it's residents: the "Arbeiter MHnnet tchor,' which has | put it's shoulder to the wheel in the mat | ter of agitation and has enlightened the indoors meeting with choice selections of songs. The district is the home of Charles F. Wilson, the party's candi- date for County Clerk. The local can didates are John J. Flick for Congress, James J. DaIy for District Judge, Daniel DeLeon for the Assembly, and Wm. F, Ehret for Alderman. Over the head quarters, at No. 1422 Second Avenue, a broad banner is spread and is ilumi- mated at night, displaying in large letters the party E name and the full list of the candidates. This district is expected to cast large vote. North of it is the
 TWENTY-THiKD ASSEMBLY DISTRICT which lS the home of Edward J. Thin me, the party's candidate for District Attorney; the local candidates being Eugene II. Eckert for Congress, Freak G. Yoerg for the Assembly and Albert Fake for Alderman. Here also good work has been done during the cam paign and good vote Is expected. But more favorable than this Is the
 TWENTY-FOURTH ASSEMBLY DIS TRICT
 considered to be. This district lies in the l4th Congressional in which Fred'k Bennetts of IOnkers is nominated and which has become celebrated through the attempts of Deputy Secretary of | State Benedict to throw out Bennetts' certificates. The proceedings for a mandamus compelling the would be of ficial law breakers to perform his duty has had the effect to stir the district workers greatly, and added point to their canvass The district covers the whole of the annexed portion of WestChester County; 1t offers a good field; the prole- tarlans are numerous in 1t; among these are thousands of men working on the rallFOdu ana WhO nave alWdyS ShOWn an inclination to vote for labor candidate and many of whom, together with the organization of the party, will probably cast their ballots for Anton Frank for the Assembly, for William H, Wech- man for Street Commissioner, and for Ernest Miller for Alderman in the 23d Ward of the District, besides Bennetts.
 But it is not in these organized dis tricts only that the voters will have an opportunity to cast a ballot for the Socialist Labor Party. In all the ten unorganized ones, local candidates will
