pointments were satisfactory to me. OF

by and large, they were OF high grade

This Endorsement Of the nominations OF
Governor Glynn was made by William

man, at the dinner of the Westchester
County Democratic Club last night at the
Waldorf. Besides praising the men
named, Mr. Osborn told of the freedom
and openness in Democratic politics now
existing in the state.

said. The od-fashioned mass formation
has been abolished. and they now play
the open game. The public has a chance,
at least, to see the ball occasionally.
II realize that there is much skepticism
Of what | may be able TO accomplish in
the 'uplift' OF the Democratic party in this
state. But recent evidence. and the facts
behind IT. are the best answer to that
doubt.
