The Republican districts in Brooklyn made a very poor showing at the last elections. The patronage system of power may be causing Republicans to lose their districts. The central issue is the influence of patronage and how it is recognized by the leaders of the party in Brooklyn.

Timothy Woodruff writes William Loeb about several matters. First, it is good that Harry A. Hanbury’s place has been taken out of civil service. Next, the goal should be to make sure he can be replaced with a better person. Second, the new Kings County Sheriff Alfred T. Hobley’s nephew graduates from West Point this year, and Hobley would like him to be assigned to the coast artillery. Woodruff also notes that it is well known that if a resolution is introduced at the next Kings County Committee meeting, it likely will not pass.
