But if there is any real Democrats up the State, what becomes of them on election day?
They certainly don't go near the polls or they vote the Republican ticket.

Look at the last three State elections! Roosevelt piled up more than 100,000 majority above the Bronx; Odell piled up about 160,000 majority the first time he ran and 131,000 the second time.

About all the Democratic votes cast were polled in New York City.

The Republicans can get all the votes they want up the State.

Even when we piled up 123,000 majority for Coler in the city In 1902, the Republicans went it 8000 better above the Bronx.
That's why it makes me mad to hear about upstate Democrats controllin' our State convention, and sayin' who we shall choose for President.
It's just like Staten Island undertakin' to dictate to a New York City convention.
