“ Progressives will have over 20
members in the incoming New

only had four up to date. We have
elected Mayors of five cities in New

than in the election last year, de
feating the Republican candidate

vote and prevented a Republican
from being elected.
"W e have elected enough mem

five last year, and we also hold the
balance of power in that body. In
