FIFTEENTH assembly DISTRICT
Candidates and Parties ms They Will Figure
in the Autumn Elections.

| Under the former apportionmcnt OF Assembly
districts in New York the Fifteenth had u

| year the majority for the head OF the Demo-
cratic state ticket was LOO. This change Is
due chiefly to the fact that the powerful and

affixed to the Thirteenth district, formerly Re-
publican under the new apportonment.
