Special elections to I'll Assembly vacan-
cIes in New York are rare and when they occur
are filled almost invariably by the choice OF
Democrat 10 candidates. for the reason. perhaps.
that the interest OF Republicans Is difficult to
arouse at by-elections and Democratic district
organizations are usually superior In thor
oughness to those OF the Republicans. The re-
suit Of Tuesdays special election in the Thir-
ty-iirst district. however. at which the liepub-
lican candidate, SLATER. was successful by a
large majority was n complete reversal OF the
rule at such elections. and the first instance in
New York in late years when a Republican can
didate was more successful at a special than at
n general election.
The explanation Of Tuesdays voting is this:
The Republican party has cone to lie regarded
as the iaw-making party in New York. as thn
Albany Legislatures have been uniformly Rep
publican since 1896. At the general election Of
November. when tho normal ISSUES OF the cam
paign were complicated by alliances made
hy the Republican party locally. the Thirty
first district was close. but on Tuesday, on the
direct question OF the politics Of It's Legislative
representative, the popular preference for a
hearty supporter Of the party dominant in
Albany, vas clearly shown. The drmonstra.
ton is important ia view Of the tact thai both
branches - the next LEGISLATURE are to be
filled this year In November.
