BOTH WANT DEMOCRAT
TO HELP FUSION TICKET,
Barnard and Prendergast for indie
pendent Brooklyn Nominee.

II is understood that both Otto I. Barnard.
nominee for Mayor. and william A Prendergast.
nominee for Controller. on the Republican ticket
have expressed a desire that an independent DEM
ocrat go the ticket for Borough President in
Brooklyn. They believe It will not only help TO
counterfeit the independent sentiment for Justice
Gaynor in that borough, but will help the fusion
ticket in other boroughs in that IL will show that
the Republican party q whole is in entire SYM
pathy with the idea Of sinking party consideration
for the purpose Of getting the entire Board of Es'
| innate out Of the hands OF Tammany Hall.
It IS not thought that Timothy L. Woodruff
will raise any objections 10 an independent Demo-
crat but he believes that the fusion forces should
grant the organization in Kings the privilege Of
accepting a who would be acceptable TO the
rank and file
The Bronx situation is similar to that in Kings.
The Republican leaders there would not be averse
to backing an Independent Democrat Of their own
choosing. but look with no favor on having such
4 candidate chosen for them by the Cleveland De-
mocracy any similar organization They are
afraid that such a man. If elected. might find St
easy to drift into the clutches of Tammany Hail.
AS for fusion in New York County on the county,
Assembly and adermanc tickets. President Parsons
is understood to be heartily in favor OF adopting
liberal policy toward the Independent forces. So
far. however. there has been little talk of candt-
dates for these places. That. of course. does not
apply 10 the nomination for District Attorney.
which. The Tribune has said, will be taken by
Charles S. Whitman. For the other places on the
dates.
Whatever fusion accompanies with regard TO the
candidates for the Assembly and the Board OF
Aldermen will be the work for the district leaders
II is possible that in certain districts the Indepen-
dence League NAV be party 10 such fusion.
In this connection It was learned yesterday that
certain indirect suggestions had been received by
Eugene II. Outerbrdge chairman OF the Commit
tee OF Ono Hundred. that he William Randolph
Hearst about renewing amicable relations between
and he
Mr. Hearst IS head. II may be said that Mr. Outer
bridge does not purpose making any overtures 20
Mr. Hearst his organization, and II they wish 20
come back, they will have to come forward them
selves and give proper assurances that in the
future they will u in a unselhsh spirit than
shown in their early relations with the fusion
conference
Mr. Barnard is not expected back from Chicago
until tomorrow, and until his arrival definite
plans will be made for the notification ceremonies
II is the wish OF Mr.. Parsons 10 have them either
on Thursday Friday. the plan Is 20 start tho
campaign at the earliest possible moment. II mas
been suggested that the three candidates for the
city ticket make campaign toGether-that Is,
speak at the same halls on the same night ''ft
vii he q sober campaign Of education" said ODE Of
the leaders yesterday.
William NJ WINS has assured President PaTrons
that the campaign committee depend on his
active support OF the ticket. ~he ability OF Mr
Twins as n campaigner was clearly shown four
years ago when he for Mayor. and his services
on tho stump have been accepted with satisfaction
Charles II. Bell has been appointed 10 take charge
OF the speakers bureau. anI ill open headquarters
in the Metropolitan Building to-day. Mr.. Bell Is
graduate OF Princeton and did effective work in
the last campaign with tho red. white and blue
special" which he originated II was large auto

and campaign signs. which went about the East
Side and other crowded districts stopping every
few blocks and starting impromptu mass meetings
FOR the Republican ticket
SO far there has rot been much talk among the
Republicans OF the nominees for the three Supreme
Court places. ~. Linn Bruce VIII probably 10 one
OF the nominees. and Representative William S.
Bennett may get another nomination II IS not I'M
