The Pushcart Vote VIII Help Him Get II
-Tammany TO Send Towne to Congress
-Brice to Replace Ruppert-Shober to
BE Dropped-ContrOi OF the Senate
Although there will be little done about
choosing candidates for Congress and for
the State Senate and Assembly until after
the Republican and Democratic State
conventions, some talk Is to be heard about
the men who will probably be chosen to
contest for these offices at the coming
election congressman and State Senators
as well as Assemblymen will be voted for
this year.
In the Eighth Congress district Timothy
u. sullivan will run again. He carried
this district in 1902 by majority Of Is $40
over Montague Lessler, the Republican
candidate, and the Republicans OF the dis
trict have not yet begun to speculate on
the man who will have pluck enough to
come forward this year to fight Big Tim"
There will be another warm fight this
year in the Ninth Congress district Henry
NJ Goldfogle. Democrat, who now represents
the district, wants a denomination and it Is
understood that he is to have it.. His Re-
publican opponent will be Charles s. Adler.
Two years ago Mr.. Adler was beaten by only
a small majority. and although he was
defeated by more than 5000 votes in the
1902 election, he is hopeful this year OF
winning
Adler is depending for victory on the
votes Of the hundreds of pushcart pedlers
who live in the district. The pushcart
men are bitterly dissatisfied with the efioI Is
to clean the streets by congregating them
in the open markets which are being pro-
vided for them by the municipal authorities
and this discomfort Adler il already turning
to- account. He has been actively cam
paigning for several months and his pros
poets OF winning out are regarded as eX-
tremely good.
his and the Fifteenth are the only
two Congress districts which conservative
minded Republicans think their party will
be able to carry next November. W. H.
Douglas, the Republican member for the
fifteenth district, will not be renominated.
The easy defeat of his candidate for leader
of the n ineteenth Assembly district at the
recent primaries effeotually squelched what
ever. ambition he may have had for re-
nomination.
That Congressman Douglas looked upon
his defeat at the primaries as a foregone
conclusion was made apparent in an earlier
announcement made by him that he would
not run again for Congress. He has not
given up his efforts to control the district,
however. He intends to 60 into the Con-
gress convention and fight for the
selection of candidate Of his own choice.
The nominee Of the regular Republican
organization will be J. Van vechten Olcott.
In all the other Congress districts of Man
haitian and The Bronx, except the Fourteenth,
Sixteenth and Seventeenth, the present
Democratic Congressman who polled large
malorities two years ago, will probably be
are William suilsr Il the Tenth' F William
r. Hearst in the Eleventh, w. Bourke
Cochran, who succeeded Mayor Mcclellan,
in the Twelfth, Francis Burton Harrison
in the Thirteenth and j. A. Goulden in the
Eighteenth
The present member for the Fourteenth
district is j. E: Rider At the beginning
of this year, after Tammany's victory in
the municipal election, Leader Charles
F. Murphy tried to induce Mr. Rider to
resign in order to provide an opportunity
fat job under. the city government was
promised to Mr.. Rider, but he refused to
give up his place in the House of Repre-.
sentatives. This year he will be dropped
and MIR. Towne will get the nomination for
which he has waited year.
Jacob Rupert, the Democratic member
for the Sixteenth district, will probably
not be renominated. 1t was found after
his election two years ago that, according
to report, he had not registered and COM

taken as much interest in the affairs Of his
district as the Assembly district leaders
think he should. 1t is understood that
Stewart NJ Brice will be chosen in his place.
Frank E. Shober, who only succeeded in
beating Harvey T. Andrews, the Republic
can candidate, by about 1900 votes. will
also not be renominated.
Both sides are preparing to make the
Senatorial fight the hottest in many years
because of the important bearing the COM
plexion Of the Senate elected this year will
have on the political destiny Of the State.
Under the constitution State census must
be taken in May and June of 1905, and the
Legislature OF the following year will re-
apporton the State into new Senate and
Assembly districts. The Importance Of the
election Of State Senators this year can
therefore hardly be overestimated.
Thousands of enumerators will have to
be appointed to take the census, which
will mean an immense amount of patron
age to the party that controls the Legis-
lature this year. Control of the Senate
elected this year will also mean the control
Of the reapportioninent TO be made in
1905.
As to possible candidates for the State
Senate and Assembly, neither the Repub-
lican nor the Democratic leaders are pre-
pared to hazard many guesses, but that
there will be many changes is well known.
Leader Charles F. Murphy is anxious to
raise the standard Of the Tammany repre-
sentation in the two houses Of the State
Legislature.
we must send to Albany the best men
we can possibly get" he has said more than
once to his intimate friends. Among the
Tammany Senators who can depend upon
are Thomas F. Grady, Victor
j. Bowling and James j. Frawley.
The Republican leaders are doing no talk
ing at present about candidates for the
Senate and Assembly. Governor Chairman
Odell intends to have a large say in the
makeup Of the Republican lists. To clinch
his control OF the county machine he will
insist that no one shall be nominated who
will not swear fealty to him.
The reconciliation between Robert c.
Morris and Edward Lauterbach and Alex
ander T. Mason in the Twenty ninth Assem-
bly, district makes it assured that Nathaniel
A. Elsberg will be renominated in the Fiji
teenth Senate district.
