PER CENT OF NEW YORK CITY VOTE CAST FOR MCCALL IN 1913 AND DIX IN 1910 BY THE IRISH =============================================== ASSEMBLY DISTRICT | PER CENT | 1913 | 1910 | OF IRISH | MCCALL | DIX -------------------+----------+--------+------- 13th Manhattan | 16.4 | 61.0 | 58.1 16th “ | 14.0 | 51.7 | 61.4 11th “ | 12.2 | 55.6 | 60.5 14th “ | 12.4 | 54.7 | 61.2 5th “ | 11.2 | 64.4 | 67.6 =============================================== Allowance must be made here for some falling off of the vote in a municipal as compared with a state election; but a still greater allowance must be made for the fact that “Tammany” was indeed a state issue--Dix was distinctly charged by the opposition with being Tammany’s candidate, and there were, as always, confusing and inestimable factors of a subtle kind--such, for instance, as the fact that McCall had an Irish name, and Dix didn’t; or that the name “John A. Dix” had a sound historically familiar--even if not one regularly American-born person in a hundred could remember who the historic “John A. Dix” was! Some years the Germans are supposed to have supported Tammany; this particular time Doctor Lipsky seems to find that they did not--in districts in which Germans made up a considerable percentage of the population. (See Table XL.) Think what you will of the Italians’ attitude toward Tammany; you can stress the fact that the vote for McCall was so much below that of three years before for Dix, or you can philosophize about the fact that it was no greater! Doctor Lipsky’s inference that, on the whole, they supported Tammany is based on the figures from six districts. (See Table XLI.)
