Letter from Herbert Parsons to the Republicans of New York County

In an open letter, Representative Parsons urges the Republicans of New York County to consider his case for “fusion” with the Independence League in the upcoming municipal elections. Cooperation with this political group will enable Republicans to elect assemblymen who support New York Governor Charles Evan Hughes, as well as allow for the retention of several judges appointed by Republicans. Furthermore, Parsons argues, fusion is the best way to defeat the ambitions of their mutual political enemy, Tammany Hall.
