Field Marshal New says He Is for woodruff
~ C'Ounty Leader.
The generallindorsement Of Timothy l..
Woodruff as tho leader Of the Republican
organization In Brooklyn by the Assembly
districts has apparently discouraged Field
Marshal Mike Dady in the nght be started
n'couple OF weeks ago for the d-ethronement
Of the former Lieutenant Governor.
II has become more apparent a. the
fight progresses that Col. Dady can moi
muster a respectable following in his alliance
with the Odell-QuiSg combine and that
he might not be able at the primaries next
Tuesday to carry a single district with
the exception OF the First. his own.i in which
Mr.. Woodruff decided not 70 put ZIP an
opposition ticket.
There are going 10 be lively scrimma ges
In the Third and Seventh Assembly dis
tricLS at the, primaries, but Mr.. Woodruff's
followers have been gaining ground in
each for the past week and may win out.
The indications are that Mr.. Woodruff will
have an over whelminR majority in the new
county committee, and that II h 10 so dis
posed he can prevent a reimbursement
OF Col. Dad. 1y that body for reappoint-
raent as Election Commissioner
Dol. Dady yesterday surprised his friends
by coming out with this statement Il am
willing TO indorse Mr.. Woodruff In the
First district a. county leader. l have
slways reoosni1ed him as leader and l
supporting me, to indorse him"
The fight, according to Col. Dady, h as
70 how the Kings county delegation will
line no at Saratoga a. between Higgins
and Hughes. He predicts that q majority
OF the delegates will favor the latter.
Col. Dady and Senator McCarren, the
Democratic leader, had a pleasant chat
yesterday morning at the Clarendon Hotel.
We'll, / see you are still at IT,, remarked
the Senator.
"Yes," Col. Dady replied. You said I
was read out OF the party9 1 believe.
Senator, that you were read out OF the
party at one time
The following letter was sent last night
TO Gov. Higgins by Col. Dady:
The sentiments expressed by you In your
recent published interview seem 20 indicate
that your sympathies are with the popular
movement now being carried forward in
Brooklyn TO retire the present Republican
boss, who nts your description-the man who
only comes around .when he personally wants
something. In view OF your commendable
stand in regard to the suppression OF party
bosses. ii Is extremely unfortunate that your
subordinates under the control Of the Super
intendent OF Elections should be using every
ANi !" biuNNNul way W upset yVuI pthubs
Since the first week in August up to the
present time a small army Of men regularly
employed in the ONCE Of the Superintendent
Of Elections, working. I am told. under orders
Of the Assistant Superintendent Of Elections.
has been engaged in doing missionary work
among the enrolled Repu blicans In Brooklyn
In the interest Of the Brooklyn boss at the
States expense. Each member Of this little
army as he daily tramps over here Is provided
with a typewriter o Of the enrolled Re-
publicans he is expected to "horse-shed.-
The typewriter copy and all the clerical
work necessary to carry on the campsisn in
the interest OF the boss is done at the expense
Of the State.
The impression that the once Of superin-
tendent Of Elections was created to protect
the ballot and insure honest elections will
soon disappear II the powerful forces en-
ployed there can at will be drafte ed by ONCE
holders to hold a boss in his ~self-appointed
job. Now. however. that you have publicly
announced your attitude in dealing with
bosses and bossism, which views harmonic
with those entertained by the average citizen
not holding ONCE or obliged to pay tribute
to of1ceholders. II is reasonable to expect
that you will not only discipline your sub
ordinates who have undertaken the task OF
working against public policy. but will also
lend our valuable aid in the contest now
beng Wa9edzin Brooklyn between the people
on che one hand and the boss backed by ONCE
holders on the other.
Appointments are being made In the vari-
Gus Assembly districts In hopes 20 carry
the same in his interests. and not in accord
ancc with the law; and l hope that next year
when the State Superintendent Of Elections
is asking for the necessary appropriation
from the Legislature to run his department.
that he will be asked by members OF the Legis-
lature what he did with and how he spent
the money that was appropriated to run the
department for 1905.
