A Cheap Tammany Trick in New York Politics
Tammany campaign managers exploited thirty day Republican voters in the XIIth and XIIIth districts with mailed threats from a fictitious National Protective Association. Letters warned of arrest warrants and urged accompaniment to the polls, prompting alarm and police inquiry. Belmont’s circle and staff denied any involvement, while detectives traced the mailed pieces to a Madison Avenue location and a Madison Square post office drop. The episode, seen as a cowardly partisan tactic, sparked widespread Republican concern and media attention.
