. \ resolution that died aborning. which
was intended 10 be introduced at Saturday
nights meeting OF the Americas Cluh, was
the subject of entertaining discussion in po-
Irical circles Saturday night and yester-
day. The resolution was intended 10 voice
the confidence of the club in the integrity
Of Collector Warmcastle 1t was written
by \, q. Hoenigk Il had been skillfully
prepared and to tle casual observer was as
harmless and inofensivc as weather predic-
tion. Mr. Roenigk in his friendship to the
Collector had conceived the resolution, but
fortunately for NIr. Warmcastle and the
resolution j was shown to Postmaster Me-
Kean, William Witherow and others before
the club met
The resolution recited the unbounded
confidence ard esteem in which the Collee-
tor was held by the Americus Club 1t re-
ferred tc MIR Warmcastle's integrity, his
large experience, his business capacity and
has unfinching services to the Republican
party.
The Reference TO the Charges
i speculated on the charges against the
Collector, pronounced them technical, and
concluded by extending sympathy. But
four men outside of the author of the reso-
luton were allowed TO see it. Each in turn
advised against its Introduction into the
club. After some discussion and explana-
tons the advice was accepted and the
paper was DESTROYED
Those who advised against the introduc-
tiun Of the resolution were all personal
friends of the Collector They were all
willing Ia assert their confidence in him,
and al were willing to extend hand to
assist him out of his pending troubles: but
ali remembered The bitter light into which
the Collector plunged the club in his effort
10 prevent the endorsement of Congressman
DalzeN for President of the State League
nt Republican clubs and they realized that
baizelEs supporters in the organization
would be only too glad to get back whether
Dir. Warmcastle was in trouble or not.
One OF those 10 whom the resolution was
shown argued that it could not be passed
unanimously. and that if passed with one
or more dissenting votes il would he harm
tDl 10 the Collectors cause. He further ex-
planned hat the authorities at Washington
could not listen to resolutions in The face
of the charges pending. and even if thew did
listen TO the resolutions the action could not
I've svaved by a mere expression of conf
ueHae when the official records told quite q
different story.
