The ISSUES INVOLVED

New York, Nov. GA sheriff,
four judges of the state Supreme
court and members of the general
assembly are to be elected in New
York county next Tuesday. The live
ly character of that campaign closed
today, combined with an usually
heavy registration, indicates an ex-
traordinary amount of interest for an
off year election.
The principal reasons why the pub
lie and the politicians regard the
campaign as Of more than the usual
off year importance are to be found
in the intensified bitterness of the
old fight against Tammany under
the rule of Boss Murphy and the
professed return to the Democratic
fold of William r. Hearst, who has
declared war against Murphy.
The charge that Murphy is striving
at this time to nationalize his con-
more than a statewide interest. Muir
ply now dominates the Empire State
situation, from the governorship
down. 1t is generally understood that
Leader Murphy intends to be pew
er in the next Democratic national
convention. He realizes that a sub
stantial victory this fall will go far
towards enabling him to control the
New York delegation to the national
convention, and incidentally the NOM
ination of a president, for it is gen
orally believed that New York will
be in a position where it's ninety del
egates, thrown to one side or the otn-
er. will decide who shall be the nomi-
nee.
William Il. Hearst evidently sizes
I'D the situation in about the same
way as does Mr.. Murphy. He has
heretofore taken time by the fore
lock with the intention of first de-
feating Murphy and then becoming
AO~0--~o
a candidate for the Democratic pres
idential nomination. Fusion against
Tammany is the plan adopted TO
bring about Murphy's defeat. The
fusion movement, is supported Dy
representatives of the Republican
party. the independence League, the
nth
independent organizations. The Fu-
sionists have nominated a complete
anti-Tammany ticket, which has the
Endorsement of many OF the so-calr
ed good government organizations.
Tammany is making it's strongest
fight for the Office of sheriff, Win
Julius Hamburger, we'll known pom
tician. as the organization candldate'
Onnosing Mr.. Hamburger, on the Fu-
sion slate is John J. Hooper, VINO
ran for governor on the Independence
League ticket year ago.
Tammanv is fortunate this year IN
having no internal strife. There were
a few disagreements at the pr1mar
les but none of the old leaders was
retired, and the organization is IN as
fine trim as it has been in years.
