The breach in the ranks of the local Re-
publican party grows wider as the days go
by, and the address issued by the Repub-
Iean Executive Committee" as published
in yesterday mornings CALL, has set the
tongues of the political gOssips to wagging.
In the mean time the two factions of the
party are lndulging in some rather severe
denunciatons of each other, and each is
striving TO impress the public with the
belief that they, and they alone, contain all
that is true and yirtuous in the ranks of the
Republican party.
Phil CTimminS was seen yesterday and
asked his opinion Of the address as issued
by the Executive Committee" He de-
nouuCed it as a piece of political chicanery,
intended to deceive the voters, and insti-
gated by a lot of politicians who were not,
and never had been, sound Republicans.
81 am told" he added, THAT the whole
thing is cunning scheme of Buckley's
originating, and intended TO split the Re
publican party SO as to insure Democratic
success. The men who are most active in
it, and who are the ostensible leaders. are
Andrew Louderback and Mike Dunno.
Now. will leave it to any fair-minded man
in the party to say if either of them is to
he trusted politically. l can prove that
Louderback voted the Democratic ticket
three years ago, and l know just what
caused him at that time to kick over the
party traces. lie never did have any po-
Htieal influence, but he was always pushing
himself to the front. He is chronic office
seeker, and had his eye on the Sheriffs
office. l know that he went to Higgins,
WHO was then alive, and wanted the nomi-
nation. Higgins told him that he could
not be elected If nominated, and he imme-
diately went over TO the Democrats. That
IS Il matter that can easily be proven. Now,
II was only few days ago that the two
gentlemen | have mentioned were seen in
consultation with Buckley, and | know
that several of the latter'S lieutenants have
been seen with them. The whole scheme,
tell sou, is to stand in with Buckley and
get his 'heelers' to help carry the primaries.
All their talk about being opposed to
ballOt-bOX stuffing and barricades is in
your eye, and all they want is IA chance to
do 1t. They wont do 10 tie TO- and don't
think their move Will amount TO anything
at all.
James B. Mulcahy, who has charge of the
enro!lment-books for the Executive Com
mittee, is equally positive. on the other
nand, that the only road to Republican sue
cess IN the coming election is TO carry out
the programme inaugurated by the COM
mittee He claims that they are endeavOr-
ing to wreSt the control of the party from
the Kely-Crimmins wing which he declares
were preparing to carry the primaries in the
good old-fashioned way"
IN tell you" he said yesterday. THAT
or only salvation is in getting rid of that
outht and be nodded his head in the drec-
ton of Gesry street. If we didn't adopt
the course we are pursuing now we wouldn't
be in II at all Do you suppose we are going
to sit quietly by and let those fellows jam
US to the wall? Not if we know ourselves,
we wont. It's more than likely that they
wouldn't allow our names to stay on the
club-rolls, and if they did they wouldn't
allow us to vote at their primaries. I've
seen the thing worked too often, and they
don't catch Us in the snap this time. All
we want is for them to put their boxes out
and keep them in sight. We don't want to
run the whole thing, but we do want to help
name the ticket, and we're going to do it
before we get through. We don't propose
10 have our names voted, as in days gone
by, by lot :of 'heelers,' and then be
thrown out because we choose to remon-
strate. That kind of game viii be tried
on, but Wen see that it don't work this
