LO1c's Majority.

ton practically conceded a victory for fusion In
the following statement:
1T looks as though the people of Brooklyn
were thoroughly aroused to the necessity OF

wants red lights next to their house. We must
protect our wives and children and sisters 1
think the people of Brooklyn think about as
do on the subject"
Senator McCarren and James shevlin thought
that the registration meant a big Democratic
vote.
All of the Republican and fusion leaders were
enthusiastic yesterday over the prospect OF a
big fusion vote Their estimates OF Lows plu-
raIity varied anywhere from $1,000 to ooOo

important because ne is an expert in analyzlnS
