Doctor Lipsky’s conclusion that “native-born Americans of American parents are opposed to Tammany government” is based upon a comparison of figures from districts predominantly of native Americans, in the elections for governor in 1910 and for mayor of New York in 1913, his primary assumption being that the candidacy of Judge Edward E. McCall for mayor embodied “Tammany” pure and simple, while that of John A. Dix for governor did not make “Tammany” a state issue. From this point of view Doctor Lipsky interprets the fact that the percentage of votes for McCall in those districts was strikingly lower than those for Dix in the state election of three years before: TABLE XXXVII PER CENT OF NEW YORK CITY VOTE CAST FOR MCCALL IN 1913 AND DIX IN 1910 BY VOTERS OF NATIVE PARENTS ====================================================== | PER CENT | | ASSEMBLY DISTRICT | OF NATIVE | 1913 | 1910 | PARENTS | MCCALL | DIX --------------------+-----------+----------+----------- 15th Manhattan | 45.3 | 33.7 | 58.1 19th “ | 40.0 | 33.2 | 52.3 25th “ | 44.1 | 35.3 | 48.4 27th “ | 51.5 | 37.6 | 55.8 4th Queens | 41.3 | 31.1 | 46.2 17th Brooklyn | 45.6 | 24.7 | 43.6 11th “ | 38.0 | 34.9 | 50.5 18th | 39.0 | 28.3 | 46.3 5th | 38.1 | 25.3 | 44.1 10th “ | 38.6 | 36.6 | 53.3 ====================================================== But the Russians and Austrians also said “No” to Tammany, as Doctor Lipsky reads the figures: TABLE XXXVIII PER CENT OF NEW YORK CITY VOTE CAST FOR MCCALL IN 1913 AND DIX IN 1910 BY RUSSIANS AND AUSTRIANS ============================================================ |RUSSIANS|AUSTRIANS| BOTH | | ASSEMBLY | PER | PER | PER | 1913 | 1910 DISTRICT | CENT | CENT | CENT | MCCALL | DIX ---------------+--------+---------+--------+--------+------- 8th Manhattan | 54.4 | 14.2 | 68.6 | 40.2 | 52.3 6th “ | 30.4 | 30.8 | 61.2 | 22.8 | 40.0 4th “ | 35.6 | 25.2 | 60.2 | 51.1 | 61.7 26th “ | 34.6 | 6.7 | 41.3 | 30.0 | 41.0 2d “ | 35.6 | 1.4 | 37.0 | 57.6 | 67.5 10th “ | 22.3 | 12.5 | 34.8 | 29.3 | 52.2 31st “ | 12.9 | 4.9 | 17.8 | 24.1 | 44.7 21st Brooklyn | 31.2 | 5.9 | 37.1 | 27.1 | 48.6 23d “ | 33.3 | 3.9 | 37.2 | 25.7 | 40.9 14th “ | 16.1 | 5.9 | 22.0 | 46.6 | 61.5 22d “ | 13.0 | 3.0 | 16.0 | 24.3 | 38.5 ============================================================ The Irish voted for Tammany, as usual: TABLE XXXIX
