The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers Charles William Anderson to Emmett Jay Scott New York, N.Y. NOV. 5lh, 1913 Personal. My dear Emmett: Did you hear anything drop yesterday?

The Tammany ticket was buried. Not a man was left alive to tell the tale. I thought I would send you this news. It might improve your appetite a little. Hoping you are very well, I remain, Yours faithfully, Charles P.S. The prominent colored leaders were all on the other side in this fight. Fred did not support the ticket. He wanted the ''long green'' before coming out, and as he was supporting Metz the Tammany Candidate for Comptroller, and Judge Foster on the Tammany ticket, and Royall the darktowr~ candidate for Alderman, the Fusion people wouldn't give him any coin, so he sulked.
