"A WAVE OF REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASM
SWEEPS OVER THE UPPER
PART OF THE CITY.

great confidence and strong determination TO come
! ont of the November elections with dying colors
| Aside from the thorough preparatory work which
has been done during the summer by all the Re-
publican organizations in Harlem the wranges In the
Democratic camp are good grounds for BELIEF IN lie
publican success. wel[knOwn Republican leader In
the XXIIId Assembly District said TO Tribune re
porter: / confident that we shall elect senator
and an Asscmblyman from this district in place Of the
present Democratic incumbents. Tie disafection in
the Democratic ranks is very encouraging for us,
while the unprecedented enthusiasm aroused in all
| the Republican clubs In Harlem by the convention
of the Republican clubs in syracuse means tremendous
gains In the Republican column. ] have not seen
anything like il since the "WideAwake" movement In
| 1860, and mark my words this League of Republican
| Clubs will prove the " Wde-Awake" movement of tie
present decade. II enlisted the best younger
element in the state, Just the "Wide-Awake' move
ment of 1850 did, and when you get a political move
ment started with that kId Of stuff in it, it's bound
to carry everything before it."
why do You think the Republicans will elect their
Assembly man and Senator this fall" asked the re-
porter.
For several reasons. The dIsafectOp of the
John A. Butler element is very powerful. II poled
1900 votes for Jacob Cantor Senator but now they
| are independent and the chances that they will
materially help the Republican candidates this fall
Then the fight among the hQuor-deaers has injured
| the Democratic prospects most seriously, which, Of
course. helps the Republican cause. This, taken
together with the great enthusiasm shown In all the
| Republican clubs shows that We are fully alive and
are in earnest and that the Republicans always meant
victory"
