New York Oct H.-Local Democrats
re keenly interested In the filing OF the
Greater New York Democracy's petition
or a column on the official ballot.
This petition, containing the names OF
more than 6o00 men. was sent TO the sec
etary or state I'm Albany, on Saturday
hight. The fifty signatures from each
ounty required by law were obtained.
Tammany men were rejoicing last night
,ver the fact that at this election, for
he first time since the Greater New York
Democracy was organized. they will have
N opportunity 10 learn the exact voting
trength OF the Anti-Tammany organiza-
ion. OF which John c. Sheehan Is the
eader.
The Sheehan ticket will have n separate
column on the official ballot. having at It's
bead the rooster. the emblem OF the or
,anization. On the night OF election tabs
Will be kept on the number OF votes re-
;orded under the Anti-Tammany emblem.
Ind thus the actual voting strength OF
ne Sheehan organization will be deter
mined
AT the recent primaries such a test OF
he Greater New York Democracy's
'trength was hoped for. But the man
.gers OF that organization ran no candi-
late for leader In several districts. and
several others indorsed the candidates
, count OF the organizations vote be-
I,ame impossible.
WARMERS VOTE THE FIRST.
In the Greater New York Democracy
tolumn on this years ballot will be the
state candidates nominated by the Sara
|oga convention. headed by Bird 8. Coler
Tor governor. Following will be the three
|ices OF the supreme court: Alfred Steck-
|er. Edward b. Amend and John De Witt
Justice Steckler's name will also APP
pear In the Republican column and Mr.
AMEND In the regular Democratic col
Pnly nthe column under the rooster. and
| ne vote on his candidacy will be put
|orth by the Greater New York Democ-
faey % Leaders, as representing their vot-
conferences OF the anti-Tammany man
fgers are TO be held today TO finally de-
[ermine upon the various senatorial and
hssembly contests. IL Is the plan 10 nomi-
bate Independent candidates for the state
legislature In various districts. In some
Eamed and nd IN others ,nseeenaent wsm nomie I
bees will be placed on the ticket.
The Sheehan leaders intend to support
sress except I'm the Eighth district, where
big Tim Sullivan IL running Montagu
E.essler, the Republican nominee, Will not
pc lnOOrsfu, out some DefnOCTdt Will De
Nominated. Sullivan IL regarded by the
5heehan men as the real leader OF Tam
many In Crokers absence, and they are
opposed TO giving him even this passive
Endorsement.
It is settled that James A. Allen. the
candidate for the assembly
In the Ninth will be nominated on the
rooster ticket.
HOPE TO BEAT BUTLER.
BY this Course the Sheehan men hope
10 defeat Richard Butler, who was nomi-
mated by Big Bill Devery, and whose
fate at the polls WIFI be the first real
test OF Devery's ability TO successfully
lead the Democrats OF the Ninth district.
IL Sheehan can hold for Allen the 400
and odd votes he polled as a candidate
for leader in September. Buffers defeat
Is regarded as probable. The Sheehan
men supported Allen last year. when he
was the assembly candidate on the fusion
ticket
All the local candidates OF the Greater
New York Democracy must be nominated
by petition. and the work OF obtaining
signatures already Is well under way lf
10 600 votes are cast under the rooster EN-
blem. the organization will be entitled TO
a column on the official ballot In the may
orally election next year. This Is the
object which the Sheehan leaders are
striving 10 accomplish.
