The Socialists Reelected.

All five Of the socialist members of
the New York state assembly. ousted
from that body last winter. were yes
terday reelected at special elections.
despite fusion that had been effected
in all the districts between the repub-
licans and the democrats. This re-
suit was due to the fact that on both
sides an extremely light vote was
polled, but the loss Of the fusion vote
over the combined republican and
democratic votes of last November
was much heavier than that Of the
socialist vote. In the five districts
last year 32,516 anti-socialist votes
were cast and 2S.469 socialist votes.
the socialist candidates winning
through the divisions Of the opposi-
tion to them. Yesterday in the same
districts 1885 anti-socialists were
cast for the fusion candidates and IT,
654 socialist votes were cast. Thus
the falling off in the fusion vote from
that cast last November was 21.1S0. as
against loss OF only 6.31S socialist
votes. This tells the story plainly.
Those opposed to the socialists were
not as much concerned over the cleo
ton as were the socialists. And yet
even the latter did not turn out In
their full strength. despite their vgor-
Gus campaigning and their appeals for
sympathy on the ground OF injustice.
It may be that the great explosion
downtown distracted attention from
the election sufficiently to make even
the depleted socialist vote heavier than
the evidently Indifferent anti-socialist
forces.
