STRONG BODY OF DEMOCRATS ADDED TO
THE FUSION FORCES.

of enrolled Democrats under the leadership OF
Charles and Alfred Steckler last night came

Ter was an independent candidate for justice
Of the Supreme Court, he polled about 23OOo
votes. The Stecklers are counsel for a large
number of powerful labor unions. and the or
ganizaton has many hundred members in the
