Seth Low was initially hesitant when he heard Representative Herbert Parsons’s plan for a fusion of the Republican Party and the Independence League for upcoming local elections. However, he has been convinced that such a move is necessary given the dominance of the Democratic Party in New York City. The idiosyncrasies of local politics means that politicians must be willing to make compromises they wouldn’t in state or national elections, and Low uses Tammany Hall’s position as the city’s “permanent foe,” which New York City Republicans must be focused on defeating above all else as his chief example.
