Albany Feb 25 (SpeclaD-Several Of the Tam
many Hall members Of the Assembly nave
quietly informed their friends that under no
circumstances will they be candidates for re-
nomination and election this fall These Tam
many members Of the Assembly are usually
nrettv close to the people of their districts ana
they generally know what the sentiment OF lhe
voters is They have little else 10 do from FIJI
day night until Monday afternoon Dat 10 20
around their respective districts and learn 'he
political news. 1t was after the SUNDAY Ieo'''
of a week ago that a number OF lhe i""1i'''"'
Assemblymen announced conildenuaiIy 'ha'

con for this is that they already have made up
their minds that this Will not be a good year
for Democrats to run. The election OF Congress

squeeze through this fall in some OF the closer
districts il the conditions then are similar
TO what we thought they were last iall' bT1
they won't be- and there is where the Uouoie

10 get out a large vote and TO see that II was
counted for the Democratic ticket. NO one was
afraid then TO go ahead and get the vote. pul
since the Tammany leaders have gone back
upon their men and allowed them 10 be con-
yicted and sent up will not be able 10 re-
turn anything like the majorities which We're
returned last fall year ago. Floaiers ana
repeaters will not dare to register and vote Tear
ing that they will be sent up if they are caught,
and they know that their work will be watched
carefully by the workers of the opposing party.
This vote is a large one. and am not AFRAID
to bet that il will be 10000 under what it was
last year or the year before. Pat Diver Will not
carry his district by over 5000 plurality which
will be falling off in that one Assembly district
alone of nearly 1000 votes. There will be fall
ing off all along the line in spite Of any prom
Uses that may be made, for the fellows who are
now being sent up We're led to believe that they
would be protected matter what they did
Talks with a number OF the Tammany Assem-
blymen showed plainly that one sentiment pre-
vailed-that Tammany had made grave pOiti
cal mistake in not protecting its men for th'
crooked work" they did on Election Day las
fall.
