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.
