years AGO IN vote for him. The Senate district
has been so changed that the Republican party's
chopc.s of carving II have been largely in
c-.asad Two wears ago one of the counties in II
was Schoharie. Of the three counties Wnicn

ernor last fall Schoharie County is usually gooo
for al least 200 Democratic majority It's sepa-
ration from the district leaving Ulster ana
Greene together. has placed the Reruolcans more
on a numerical equality with the Democrats.
In 1892 the vote in the district was as follows;
Harrison-Greene. S.914; Ulster 800 totai 1923
1,leveland-Greene III Ulster. 9S0s. total. 1919

PARTY Moreover election frauds mere IN Kings

the Republican strength in the district mas
largely increased. Its vote In 1884 was as 1oIoWs
Morton-Greene $685. Ulster, 9,Si5; total. lSSsS
Hjll-Greene 3731; Ulster s.2S4 total. l2,Ol5. The
Republican plurality the district last rail-, IL
is thus apparent was 1883. OF course. there was
a Republican wave last fall. and no such plural
inv can be expected this fall but the Republican
leaders naturally think they can retain some OF
the plurality for their candidates Of this year:
Il think we are going 10 elect our candidate
for State senator Charles Davis OF Saugerties."

OF Mr. Davis He is a prominent lawyer and ne
happens to live in the largest Republican town
Of the county where Republican feeling is In
tense. Mr.. Davis is also personally popular
man, and is a strong and active campaigner
Nothing that he honorably do 10 carry the
district for the Republican party Will be neglect

have thrown S. 900 into the district TO elect Rice
A big distribution of money in Rices interest in
Kingston. therefore, may be expected on Election
Day. -
The Republicans have renomnated William 8.

faithfully represented Ulster County last winter

twice nominated candidates that the Democrats
succeeded in persuadiEg James F. Brown, or
Rosendae. and Irwin R0nk. Of Saugerties, to run
against them. the registration IN Klngst0n ana
