SHEEHAN-CARROLL UNION
COMPACT TO TAKE EFFECT AFTER
THE PRIMARIES
ANYTHING TO ROOT OUT CROKERIsM.
GREATER NETWORK LEAD
ER'S SLOGAN

BY far the most important development in
local Democratic politics yesterday was the dis
covery of n recently made combination, or .,1n-
derstanding, between the leaders of the Greater
New-York Democracy and the so-caIled anti
Croker district leaders in Tammany Hall This
understanding exists between the Sheehan men
and John F. Carroll John c. Sheehan said last
night at the Hoffman House that there was no
combination between himself and John F Car
roll, but he admitted that such a coalition was
among the possibilities after the primaries
Meanwhile the star of John r Carroll is again
rising. There is no longer any question of his
being able 10 carry his own district. Myer J.
Stein. the Greater New York Democracy leader.
and Thomas f. Rush. the anti-Carrou candi-
date are running against him. but he is
stantly making inroads upon their respective
followings.
John c. Sheehan put in busy day in Room
No. 100. on the third floor of the Hoffman
House. yesterday. All his election district cap
tains and their assistants reported to him. and
submitted canvasses of their districts just COM
pleted Mr. Sheehan was iubilant last night
over the way things are going
Our election district captains submitted their
canvass figures to me to-day" said he. and 1
am free to say that l am greatly pleased at the
outlook, We shall win the district easily

is there any prospect of your making COM
bination with the Goodwin men2"
We are not making any advances along that
line If any of the Goodwin-smith men want to
vote for our ticket we shall be glad TO have
them, but we are not making any advances.
We are able to fight our own battles"
viii the Greater New-York Democracy run
Assembly and Senate candidates."
That is a matter that cannot be determined
until after the primaries"
is it true that in all districts where there is
an anti-Croker man fighting the old Croker dis
tTict leader, the Greater New-York Democrats
will make no fight on their own account"
In many districts like the Ist, for instance.
where man like Judge Finn is out for the lead
ership against a man who represents Croker and
Crokerisri1. we are we'll content TO support the
anti-Croker man, and thus make the doing away
with Crokerism a sure thing. On the other hand.
there are districts where our candidates have
made a hard fight in building up their organiza-
tions. and they will have candidates for lead
ership of their own choosing. whether there is
an anti-Croker Tammany man running or not.
IF you and Mr. Carroll should be elected
would you, after the primaries. pool your issues
against the so-calIed Croker men in the execu-
tive conmittee?"
That is one of the possibilities after the
primaries" answered Mr.. Sheehan. Things are
pretty we'll mixed at present. There are many
Inconsistencies in the situation, hut these will
be largely eliminated Immediately following

cratic County Executive Committee VIII be
