Editorial: How can they do it?
Republican voters in the 29th New York Congressional district, we suppose, know their own minds.
And they have a free right to nominate whomsoever they may choose to represent them in Congress.
But for the life of us we can’t comprehend how, with any feeling of pride or conscience, they can keep on sending Ham Fish to Washington.
However, Mr. Fish’s margin of victory was the smallest in his career. So there is still hope for the voters of that district.
