himself his right to vote, because this is

from being an off year. Though no Gov?

campaign is being waged, for Murphy's
domination over the Legislature is at
stfke. If the Assembly is wrested from
his grasp, his power to injure the public
by vicious election laws will have de?
parted. The excellent fusion ticket in
New York County gives voters here a
splendid chance to defeat the Tammany
