Speaking Of Brooklyn that borough
Is the field of operations of gang OF
desperate burglars who have thus far
been successful in eluding capture. The
citizens have good reason to complain,
too. There are only 1,62S patrolmen in
Brooklyn, which has a population of
a mlilion and quarter, or one to
every 40 inhabitants. Other bor-
oughs of Greater New York that have
not one quarter of Brooklyn's popula-
ton have nearly half as many police
men, and this is causing bitter protes-
tation on the part of Brooklynites.
The coming Republican State Con.

option of certain resolutions In other
States of the Union. New York re.
publicans will be compelled to endorse

explicit and warm commentators of
the President by seven or eight lead

Following the footsteps OF the other
political parties. the Prohibitionists

New York to nominate a Governor and
other candidates under the emblem Of
