Tho Twenty first Assembly district OF New
York city Is ono OF tho strongest hopuoi
can districts in Greater New York. Under Col
Abraham Gruber, tho Republican leader Tor the
last four years, tho best work for the Repnbli'
can party has been done. The rolls of tho Re.
publican organization have always been open to

such anti-orRanization Republicans as James y.
Lchmaicr, Mayor Strongs ex-Commissioner OF
Accounts; cX-Asscmblyman Judson Lawson,
and Frank c. Langley, Secretary OF the Brook
field liquidation Republicans. The Brook
ticldcrs for numbers are much like the nine
tailors OF Toocy street.
