Fusion on East Side
May Defeat Socialists
Democrats and Republicans
Combine on Assembly and
.Adermanic Candidates

East Side Democrats and Republicans
following their successful fusion OF last
year, joined hands again yesterday
against the Socialists.
This year fusion has been effected in
the 4th, 9Th and 8th Assembly districts.
the basis of exchange being one Assem-
blyman for an Alderman. In the 8th
the Democrats Endorsed Assemblvman n
Herman Weiss, Republican, and the Re-
publicans indorsed Morzis Graubord. a
Democrat. for Alderman. This district
is now represented in the Board of AL
dermen by Algernon Lee, director Of the
Rand School. In the sth Assembly,
man Sol ullman, Republican, has been
designated by the Democrats. and Man
ny Si!versten, Democrat, has been
given the Republican designation for
Alderman. In the 4th Assent blvman
Samuel Dickstein. Democrat, has re-
ceived the Republican designation. and
Louis Zeltner. Republican. candidate for
Alderman, has received the Endorsement
OF the Democrats. Both these districts
like the Sth. now have Socialist Alder
men. The fusion is certain to result in
the defeat of the Socialists. the Re-
publcans and Democrats believe.
In the Second Municipal Court Dis
trict there has also been fusion. Ben
iamin Hoffman and Morris Eder. Demo
Gratis, being Endorsed by the Republicans.
while William Blau, a Republican, has
been designated by the Democrats.
There has been little or no attempt TO
get together in the other municipal
court districts, for elsewhere in Man
attain the Socialists have little strength.
