Richard Croker has given his postmortem
view Of the campaign TO a reporter OF the
New York Evening Pest. He says: 1.-THE
chief cause Of Van Wyck's defeat was the
popularity OF the soldier candidate, Had
Roosevelt run for governor the day after he
arrived from Cuba. he would have been
elected by 100. 90 majority. Had the election
been held a week later he would have been
defeated by 25.ea. Had Admiral Dewey
opposed Roosevelt as the Democratic can
didate for governor. the Republicans would
have been overwhelmed" Croker would
net admit for an instant that anything he
had done or said during the campaign had
weakened Van Wyck. In spite of his eff
forts to appear nonchalant, there Is no doubt
bat that the boss is feeling keenly the saw
age criticisms that are being showered
upon him by the friends of Van Wyck.
