WHAT REPUBLICAN, VOTERS SHOULD DO.
1t is probable that II the Citizens Union had
pursued the policy OF the Brooklyn Committee Seth
Low would have received the Republican nominal
ton but whatever mistakes may have been made
by that body or by party leaders. our candidate Is
N no way responsible therefor. We have to deal
with the situation as lrd It to-day. and It Is my
conviction that the wise and uropcr Thing for Re-
publican voters to do In order 10 save our city
