Az INCIDENT N 4 GREAT CHANGE.
The retirement of Mr. Woodruff from
control of the Brooklyn Republican or
ganization is significant Of the change
that is taking place in the party. Old
county leaders are one by one giving
place TO new men with a new point of
view The change in Brooklyn means
something more than the displacement
CT one party manager by another trained

merely that one faction has triumphed
over another. both of them standing for
the same sort of machine politics. Back

Younger Republicans. Of whom Mr. Oar

who have been for years sowing the seed
which has just borne fruit. They were
supporters Of Governor Hughes and "
his measures The moral ideas which
Mr.. Woodruff could not see the force Of
when he was state chairman have not
OILY brought about his retirement from
that office but have accomplished his
overthrow in his own county.
There can he 10 mistake about the
fact that this is Il delayed part Of that
revolution which was brought about pre-
uature!y at Saratoga. We say pre-
naturcly because il was effected in "A

Brooklyn comes from the bottom up

change in Brooklyn has the promise Of
permancncy and is full of encourage
ricnt for those who hope 10 see the party
under The control Of new and better
men. in greater sympathy with The popu-
lar Ideals and aspirations Of to-day.
The political point of view which Mr..
Woodruff cXemplifed has been diSas

that of his advisers in opposing Governor
Hughes. in defeating direct primaries

which the party sustained at the polls
lest November. Even those who think
that the activity Of Colonel Roosevelt in
state politics was IN adverse factor will
have TO concede that the despcrateneSs Of
the party's situation was due to the
blunders and mismanagement OF State
Chairman Woodruff and his advisers.
They brought upon il the overwhelming
condemnation that il received at the
hands Of the voters.
