Hill quit, the Socialist, possesses great mental power, but stands firmly at the head of the anti-national movement, both in theory and ideals. Hylan, a typical Tammany politician, has been proved to be in league with the pro-German activities, and has been unable to win the support of any reputable class of citizens; while Bennett is an admitted nonentity, the candidate of the Brooklyn Republicans opposed to Fusion. Such is the situation as the polls open, with the betting over two to one in favor of Hylan...
