When Richard Croker returns to New
York he will be confronted by a condi-
ton, not theory, as President Clevc-
land would say.
In theory he will still have a magnif-
cent Tammany organization at his back.
but in reality he will have a house d.
vided against itself. 1t will be a much
different Tammany from the one he left

never developed strong enough under the

| The independent movement has gained
an impetus beyond all expectations. At
no time in the history of politics in New
York has there been displayed so much
interest In local politics at this time Of

has returned to power have men In bust

defiance at Tammany Hall. They feared
Tammany's vengeance before. The
fact that they are acting without APP
