as tho chief prsrogative Of citizenship is con-

This advice given here is supplemental to
the advice that has boen distributed the past
week by every honest Republican leader in
every district in this town. At Republican
| County Headq uarters. in the Metropolitan
| Life Building. 1t was said yesterday that there
/ had been meetings Of voters held In every
| Assembly district in the city. and in nearly
| all the election districts. The work was
begun ut the close of tho second
| registration day. last week, when the
| great falling Off in comparison with the records
| VI tno up Otdts Cltleb was bceD. on lnb auNlCo
| OF President QuiRg OF tho Repu blcan County
| Committee letters were sent from the district
| headquarters to every known Republican
| voter. inviting him to attend a meeting and
| learn OF something to his interest. Those who
| responded to tho invitation wore met by the
| election district workers. and 1t was urged
upon them that it was their duty as Republic
cans and as good citizens to see that every
thing was done this year that could be done
to clip the claws OF the Hon. Richard
Croker. Mr.. Cookers interest in securing
the next state Legislature was explained
and then district was assigned to every man
who said he was willing to work The election
districts were divided up as the Assembly dis
trcts are divided into election districts. and q
man was assigned to each district. Sometimes
it was one big apartment house. In others It
was sgh or ten private dwellings,. The worker
was directed to see the head OF the family
in every case and every voter In the family and
urge upon him personally. whatever his poll
tics, his duty to register. Reports received at
county headquarters are to tho effect that sew
eral thousand voluntary workers had been put
to work and the result OF their work ought GER
tanly to show in the registration to-day.
Little hope is entertained Of any effective aid
from the allied organizations that have four
teen OF the seventeen places on the ticket that
the Republican County Convention nominated
after the report OF the Conference Committee.

were doing and had been doing to ct out the
Mazet's district. he called attention to an inter-
view with the Hon Richard Croker which was |
printed yesterday and in which Mr. Croker |
said:
Tho fact is their ticket this year isn't any |
moro non partisan than the Mazet Committee |
il. 1t Is Just a straight fight between Tam |
many Hall and the Republican organization.
and the people know it. The people know |
whether to vote for the so-called non partisan
Republican organization or the Tammany Or
RaniZaton, which is responsi BILE for every can

Assembly district where Mr.. Mazet is running
for reelection. Tammany Hall has nominated
Perez NJ. Stewart. and Stewart is asking for
the votes OF the better element in that district
on the ground that he 10 Citizens Union can
