faith, would doubtless place strictly Independent
Republicans OF the highest character IN nomina-

County Committee in Manhattan. is squarely and
explicitly in favor OF harmony, That seems 70 be
the policy OF the Republican leaders all around
this fall and that idea will doubtless prevail"
What the chances OF Republican success In
Kings this fall?"
I'VE have more than even chance. The Dem
ocrats have been making disgraceful work OF their
adminstra ton. The operation Of the Civil Service
laws. the Ramapo water scandal, the rottenness
OF some parts OF the Police Department due TO
the direct interference and patronage Of Temmany
have influenced great many independent Demo-
cratic voters against the present municipal admin
istraton. In just such years this in times past
I've seen Republican candidates who the day
Of election thought that they would fail Of cleo

what Is likely to happen this year"
Surprising that District Attorney Steele is nomi-
mated for the office he is filing, will his re-
nomination be regarded by the Republican leaders
as a concession 10 the independents"
Il won't answer that question TIL September 20
Are you going to extend the olive branch 10
William J. Buttling?"
'Humph, What has he got? II he can carry the
lid Assembly District well and good. II not, then
he'll be retired" -.

killing him off
Let him carry his district. He threw me out OF

can influence the nominating convention TO carry
out their wishes. As soon as we get an oppoTtu-
nifty the leaders will show conclusively that they
are ready 10 back UP their professions ny gooo
