| Voters Behind 'Em-Remarks About
along Reach Stir the Senator Up q Bit.
State Senator George Washington
| Plunkitt. Tammany leader in the Fifteenth
Assembly district, has his eye on young
| Martin SAKE. Senator Plunkitt wouldn't
admit it for the world, but Mr.. Sake is
rather worrying them up in the Seven
teenth Senate district, where Plunkitt is
running for reelection and SAKE is run
ming against him. The Seventeenth is re-
garded as Democratic cinch.
Through kind friend, Senator Plunkitt
sent some fatherly advice to Mr.. SAKE just
after the latter was nominated.
Tell the young man." said the Senator,
that I'd kind O. like him, il 1t was etiquette
to like Republican up this way. Tell him
to electioneer just all he wants. 1t won't
do me no HARM and the exercise will do
Martin a lot Of good. But tell him not to
spend any money. He might need it after
election"
That was several weeks ago. But last
week Senator Plunkett made speech

front door," said Mr.. SAKE. We'll. his
reach hasn't shortened any since
When Senator Plunkett heard about that
he went out and had elegant halftones OF
Mr. SAKE taken down from several saloons
in the Seventeenth. Since then he has
officially ignored his opponent.
The Senator was out rounding up the
registration list yesterday when sun
