Chairman Bremen yesterday made a careful
study Of the registration returns from every
election district in Kings County. After con-
siderable figuring the following facts were de-
veloped: There has been increase in 81 Re-
publican election districts the registration
of last year, a Presidential year. Some ninety
election districts-Democratic districts-show an
increase over the 1900 figures. The average in
crease in the Republican districts is fortyfour
while the average increase in the Democratic
districts is only twenty-six. In the RepublIcan
districts which showed falling off from I3Oo
the average decrease is sixteen. as opposed to an
average decrease Of twenty-nine in the back
ward Democratic districts. This shows Re-
publican gain all along the line and is highly
gratifying TO the anti-Tammany leaders, VINO
worked hard 20 get out the registration.
In many cases where the Republican districts
have fallen behind the decrease has been caused
by the failure of Democrats TO register. one OF

his leaders early last week that no meetings or

He showed that there had been a heavy increase
in fusion districts and startling decrease in Tam
many districts. He told the leaders that It was
imperative 10 get out the Tammany voters to

aside last Friday and Saturday and get voters to
the booths. This done. The result yesterday
was not encouraging to the Tammany men, despite
all their efforts.

CROKER As A CENSOR OF POETRY

THE TAMMANY BOSS SHOWS HIMSELF IN A NEW
LIGHT.
The people of New York-to whom Richard Gro
ker appeals support Devery, Murphy and the
gambling syndicate in the present campaign-may
be surprised to learn that the boss is judge OF
literature! He has set himself up a censor of
poetry In the reams of matter sent out yesterday
from the headquarters in Tammany Hall was the
following statement: There is dearth of cam
paign poets in Tammany Hall Not day passes
but some aspiring poet sends sample of his
TO Mr.. Croker for inspection. When he thinks the
verses are worth it he orders the musical commit
tee of Tammany Hall to have them set music
Among the pieces OF poetry passed by Croker
is the following:
OF Spotess Town this is What He Said:
has always led,
A government that should endure
Because its policies pure"
Now If he thought the city wicked,
Would he indOrSe the Tammany ticket
For S550000?
The poet makes no mention OF the way Mr. Car
negie tied up the S.5GO0O0 that the Tiger could
not lay its claws any of the money Croker's
newly developed love of the aesthetic has also led
him to engage "a well known song writer and
ballad singer" who will appear various meet
ings to help raise the dropping spirits of Tam
many's heelers.
