THOMAS FITCHIEs VIEWS
Thomas Fitchie. president Of the Mckinley
League 4 Kings County, had a good word TO say
for each Of the nominees. Mr. Fitchie is dis
guste1 with the work Of the Committee on Gre
denuais in unseating the regularly elected Anu
Machine delegates. When men are CHOSEN 70 10
represent majority Of their constituents they
should be- allowed % DO So he declared yester-
day. J do not believe In this game OF throwing
Out delegates just because they DO not fall In
with AL the schemes of the State machine
Whether or not ! sympathize with all Of those
who We're shut out Of the convention, be1eVe
that The primaries and not the State conven-
tons should select the delegates. -
Major Augustus g. Tate said he knew little
about Nj Black but was convinced the ticket
would he d strong one on Election Day. He pre-
cicted the election OF the National and State tlck
cts by Overwhelming majOrities.
