To THE EDITOR OF THE sus - Sir: Your
readers have probably noticed that In the great
Democratic victory OF yesterday there was one
district and one alone. which was an exception
to the general collapse.
refer TO the Twenty-arst district, where the
best figures obtainablo at this writing give
Edward II. Fallows 1910 plurality over James
+. Court. Tammany. and Armitags Mathews
plurality Of 45l over DR.. T. Styles Potter. the
Tammany candidate.
i have no desire to DIRE " attention TO these
facts for the purpose OF obtaining commenda-
tion for the Republican organization In the
Twenty-nrst district, but sim ply with the idea
that the character OF the campaign which we
carried on In the Twsnty-hrst district and the
results which We achieved by Il. may have some
significance for real Republicans In every As
sembly district In this city.
The best figures obtanabls show that out
side the Twenty-nrst district the combined
maiorities OF the Republican Assem- blymen
ed to l,l62 Mr.. Fallows's majority 10 1850.
Roossv.lts majority in the district was 1900.
From thus Il win he seen that We hav. carried
carried It last year; have given Mr.. Fsllows
500 more majority than he himseii had ls:.
