DRAWN FOR RICHMOND

(By Evening News STAFF Correspondent. ]
TOTTENVILLE, Aug. 1.-THE
fusion primary slate as announced
Tuesday night shows the following
candidates.: e.
Geo. Cromwell, borough president;
Spire Pitou for sheriff, Rae Egbert

v. Frerichs for assemblyman second
district; Guy o. Walser for alderman
sixty-third district, Harry Hooker for
alderman sixty-fourth district, Will
lam J. Rowan for alderman sixty
fifth district.
Many surprises were sprung in the
selection of the ticket, for, although
it had been generally conceded that
Cromwell would receive the nominal
ton for borough president, other
men chosen for the various Offices
were more or less unexpected. 1t
has been a foregone conclusion that
Cromwell would head the coalition
ticket this year. For more than two
years there has been sentiment on
the island for Cromwell to run at
this election.
Republican leaders are jubilant
over the nomination. The opinion
in the coalition ranks being that
with Cromwell head Of the ticket
the entire ticket is sure of election.
1t is declared by the Republican au-
thorities that no man available to
the Democrats will be able to defeat
former Senator Cromwell.
The first president of Richmond
borough was George Cromwell. He
took office in 1899 after the Staten
Island consolidation with the Greater
City. He heid Office for sixteen
years and was only DEBATED when the
Bull Moose movement split The local
organizations vote.
Spire Pitou, the candidate for
sheriff, has held the Office of sheriff
before. Under Borough President
Mccormick he was appointed COM
missioner of public works. .Pitou's
nomination for this Office met with
practically no opposition.
Assemblyman Ernest V. Frerichs
of this place, has been nominated to
succeed himself as the representative
of the second district. The record
set by Assemblyman Frerichs dur
ing his first term in Albany is being
pointed to by the Colitionists as the
reason why he should be reelected.
His work during the past years has
been approved by the Citizens I'm
ion.
Rae l.. Egbert, Republican, of
West Brighton will represent the
first district in the Assemblyman
race. This Is the first time Mr..
Egbert has been out for a public Of
flee. Another man making the first
attempt to serve the public is Guy
o. Walser. Independent Republic

Harry Hooker, Independent Re"
publican, of Fcrt Richmond, Il
William J.. Rowan of Rosebank, In

dates for aldermen in the sixty
fourth and sixty-fifth districts re-
spectiveIy.
