While Theodore Roosevelt was out of the country, John Purroy Mitchel, an anti-Tammany candidate, was elected President of the Board of Aldermen in New York City by a 75,000 majority. A similar margin of victory in the upcoming election will keep Tammany candidates in a minority and make it possible for Republicans to control the State Assembly. The current “Senatorial situation” is contributing to this political climate. New York City’s growing population makes it key to controlling the entire state.
