The state ticket, as finally constituted, is more
than satisfactory to the recognized Democracy
Of Kings county. The selection OF Justice Brown
by the state Committee for Associate Justice Of
the Court Of Appeals is regarded as the strongest

Is unquestloned; his record an able, fearless,
and impartial judicial oficer has never been ss-

obnoxious state committeeman from Kings
county was also arranged. leaves no disturbing
element in the party ranks in Kings county, and
even Messrs. McCarty, Delmar. Coffey, and Me-
Carren realize that their retirement from the
