single conflict, and it seems to me that the
future has bright things in store for u.s.
"How about those prosecutions you were
to make today"
Haven't got the cash. replied Mr..
Rowand. 81 don't know what the commit
tee will do, but for my part 1 intend to
drop the matter, although there is plenty OF
evidence Of fraud"
Continuing, Mr. Rowand stated that a
Straightout club would be organized in
Pittsburg on the same plan as the Americus
and Tariff clubs. He stated that 20 men
had agreed to pay in SO each to start the
club, and he thought enough others would
join to get good quarters.
Three Detected Democrats.
A few doors below Mr.. Rowand's office
| three detected Democrats, who had Joined
the Straightouts, were found discussing
how it had been done. They were Attorney
Brien, Councilman Huckenstein, of Allie
gheny, and William Walls, the ex-labor
leader. The opinion was unanimous
that Doodle had done it. Mr. Walls
said that the Democrats would
continue their fight and that the next eff
fort would, he said, be to prevent O'Leary,
Larkin and that gang" from getting the
honors at the Democratic National Conven-
tion. He thought the reform people in both
and that the Straightout Republicans and
Straightout Democrats would together make
factor in politics that would be invinci-
BILE. The committee of 81 Independent
Democrats he said, would probably hold a
meeting soon. to decide what to do, and he
thought steps would be taken to form a
permanent organization.
Ex-Judge Fetterman is getting used to
defeats and this last one didn't seem to
worry him. The only reason he knew for
not being lected was that he did not get
enough votes.
"Will the Straightout organization be
continued" he was asked.
"Why certainly he replied. "It's pretty
lively for a year old and has demonstrated
that it is here to stay. The greatest gain
in the future, think will be in Allegheny
where it will probably join with the Citi-
zens' Reform Association. The two COM
bined will get control in Councils and when
the people on this side of the river see the
good government the Northsde is getting,
the Pittsburg ring will be thrown over
board and the Straightouts will be recog-
nized as the Republican party. This was a
preliminary fight and our strongest oppo-
nents must admit that we made good show
ing"

strength will the Democrats again unite
with the Republicans against them?" Com
missioner Dennis Boyle was asked.
Democrats are for REFORM" was there
ply land we are for the best man. The Dem
ocratic party has the best men and there
fore it will make its own nominations and
if the Republicans or Straightouts wish to
join with us they are perfectly welcome to
come in. The circumstances under which
the two parties united this time were pecu-
liar and it is hardly likely they will occur
the victory. We will make an attempt to
elect as many Councilmen next spring as
we can and 1 look for considerable success. -
Pat Foley held the same views. He
thinks the opportunity for the Democratic
party in Allegheny county is at hand and
that the opportunity will be accepted.
