New York a for Bryan says Ury of Inquisitor
Albert A. Ury, New York reader, argues New York is sure for Bryan, not even doubtful, citing Roosevelt’s swing and shifting voters. He notes Greater New York would deliver Democratic gains, with Republicans needing 125,000 Taft votes and predicts 5,000 Roosevelt votes flipping in a county. He claims Tammany wants the mayoralty, not the governorship, and warns Sherman’s entry would be risky.
