Candidates Not Kind to Make Voters Enthusiastic in Off Year Campaign. ONE MAN ON BOTH TICKETS Jnstir. Scott Horvrd by Condi t loos on Leadrra, Against Tbcir Wills. Hear Men to Take Stamp ! t'snal. BY LLOYD T. LONTRSXN. NEW YORK. Oct. IS. (Special.) With harmonious fusion In effect against Tammany Hall. It promoters are busily engaged In trying to tet out the votes to elect their candidates. It Is an off rear, politically, and In off years the Republican voters do not generally turn ut. And then, resides. la the it erate voter the candidates are more or less disappointments. There are six county officers to ba e'ected In New York County, four Jus tices of ths Supreme Court, a Surro gate and a Sheriff. Vnder the fualon pian. two of these places have cone to the Independence League, two to so called Independent Democrats, and the remaining two to the Republicans. It Is not contended that there Is anything; extremely objectionable about these nominees, but there Is nothing In their personality that will cause the aver tce voter to reelect home and business to work for their election next month. rt Smre tm Be Klerted. One of the nominees. Justice Scott. s certain of election, as he Is on both the Republican and Tammany tickets. A peculiar fact Is that Tammany did not want to name him. and neither did the Republicans, but conditions virtu al'y forced both organisations to ac cept him. Justice Scott first entered public Ufa In January. 1IS. when Mayor Strong, fualonlat and Republican, made him his Corporation Counsel. He was then a bitter anti-Tammany man. but two years later took the Tlirers' nomination for the bench and ran In opposition to the men he formerly had supported. Tammany used him that time to help Its ticket. Tammany would turn hlro. down this year were It not for tha fact that he Is needed. Naturally tha RepuMlcana do not care for him. but they could not see their wsy clear to refusing- him a nomination. So thera you are. The second Independent democrat la really the best man on tha ticket. He la Henry de Forest Baldwin, highly respected as a lawyer, and who has been fighting Tammany for so long that It has become a habit. Mr. Bald win Is one of the last survivors of the prominent men who held the anti-snap convention In 1ISI end sent a Cleve land delegation to the National con vention. Any year that YCllllam Randolph Hearst does not ran for office, yon ran count on seeing the . name of Clarence J. Fhearn on the ticket. Shearn Is the editor's personal at . tomey. and at various times has run for Governor and District Attorney. He Is an excellent campaign orator, and having bounded from party to party between editions, or rather cam paigns. Is now able to argue fluently on any side of any political question. Mr. Shearn Is on the ticket this year tor Justice of the Supreme Court, and following Hearst precedent. Is likely to make any number of speeches, al though precedent has It that a candi date for high judicial office should not go upon the stump. But Hearst nomi nees are always expected to talk, and they always do. Besides what lea do precedents cut anyway? hears Accepted fer HarsBoay. Stralght-Iaced Republicans are not happy at the sight of Shearn gambol Ins and frothing In their back yard, but they had to accept him In the In terests of harmony. Hearst's second candidate Is John J. Hopper, who Is the fusion nominee for S.ierlH': This Is a fat political plum, being worth. In the salary and per ctm.Ki of fees allotted to It. about j;0.vuw a year. Hopper ran for Gov ernor on tha Hearst ticket last year. He Is a former Democrat, and nia brother was for many years a Tam many district leader in Harlem. Douglas Mathewson. nominated for Surrogate. Is a straight Republican. He la at present Deputy Controller and acceptable to all factions of his party. The other nominee. Nathan Ottinger. is the brother of the Repub-ll-sn leader of the Fifteenth Assembly District, where there Is always a bit ter factional fight on. Ottinger. the candidate. Is little known, but he In herits the enemies of his brother. The Tammany county ticket was named after the news of the Levy law was received, and the action of the Court of Appeals compelled Murphy to make some su.lden shifts. In the con vention hall that night, a district leader explained -conndentlally. that -we had to name a safe ticket, one the hlnh brows couldn't knock." and this seems to be correct. Tammany's Judicial ticket is really of higher caliber Han that or the fu slonist. Justice I'endleton Is a for mer Corporation Counsel, a lawyer of shtlltv and of good family. Henry I. Hitrhktss he never been an active politician, and Is chairman of the char acter cmmltlee of the Tar Associa tion. The only man on the fusion ticket who matches up to them is luldwln. Scott, of course. Is on both tickets. The fourth Temmany nomi nee Is Dan Cohalan. a political boss, but he certainly has more brains than St earn, who Is a hoes' attorney, or Ot tinger. who Is a little boss' brother. tlx fnr Oire Is Firm. Surrogate Fowler, renominated by Tamiiianr. was plured on the bench by ioiernor I'x U till a vacancy caused l.v dc.lh. Murphy lia.l another candi date. Robeit I. lice, but the Governor or once was firm ' and turned htm d..rn. Howler has made an excellent official, and Is certainly as goo,i as Mathewson would be. lie is not Mur phy's candidate. The boss had ar ranged to turn Mm down and nomi nate Luce, while Abraham Elkus and another faithful Tammany man were to have had the places that went to Hotch kiss snd Scott hsd the Levy elec tion law been upheld. The Court of Appeals slso saved us from the possibility of hsvlng Senator 'Christie" Sullivan for Sheriff. Mur phy kindly but firmly removed him irom the ticket at t!ie last moment. In his place he name.! Julius Harburger. who has been In oftice 17 years, among tlie places he has held being Excise " .jommlasuner. Municipal Court Clerk. Coroner and Assemblyman- At present he 1 Deputy State Controller. Fusion also a plies to Brooklyn, but Rrooklyn. always a strange place, has outdone Itself In this Instance.

Assembly and Board of Aldermen. So, no matter how the elec tion comes out. the leaguers will have something to cheer for. The reason for this remarkable condition- of af fairs has not been explained. Republican leaders frankly say that all they expect to get out of this com bination Is to recapture control of the Assembly. In o doing they will be enabled to block the Gaynor charter If It Is brought up next session. They admit that the Tammany county ticket Is a strong one In the main, which Is one reason why they were so generous In handing out nominations to their al lies. Murphy Mlswe Caaarer By so doing they showed more polit ical sagacity than did Murphy. At tha last session there were several insur gent Assemblymen who stood out against Sheehan for United States Sen ator. There were two from New York and two from Brooklyn, and renomlna tlons were refused to all of these by order of the boss. Now It happens that all of these men were political accidents. Their dis tricts are heavily Republican, and there Is absolutely no chance that Tammany will carry them this year. It would seem that good policy would have In duced Murphy to' renominate these men. and see to It that they were beaten good and plenty. Also the cam paign would have cost the unlucky Independents a good sum. Instead of doing so, however. Mur phy nominated other men. who are cer tain to be defeated. Also It will give the Independents a chance to aay that, had Murphy named them, they would surely hsve been victorious. Many people will believe It, too. The rurilon ticket lias almost a solid newspaper support behind It. 'As the New York 'World states editorially, the Issue Is "Liberty or Murphy." In Its leader the World goes on to say: "The Legislature, which a unanimous Court of Appeals says exceeded Its power. Is a Murphy Legislature, owned and bulldoxed by the Boss of Tammany Hall. Roosevelt Phopaeer Fwlfllled. "When Mr. Roosevelt last Fall de clared that to elect the Democratic ticket, "meant to "enthrone Tammany Hall In the Capitol at Albany,' he told the truth, although we doubted his words at the time. Unfortunately Mr. Roosevelt wss right, and the record has vindicated his prediction. "When the Democratic party of New York surrendered to Murphy after the election of 1S10. It made the election of a Republican Assembly In 1911 essen tial to the welfare of democracy It self." All of this, is must be remembered. Is from a papc,r that was one of the warmest supporters John 'A. Dlx had last year. At ihe present writing, however. It must be confessed that there are more signs of Democratic apathy than there are, of a great civic uprising. But New York does never get real heated up until toward the end of a campaign.
