afternoon and perfected arrangements for
the approaching campaign.
About every prominent Republican leader
in Allegheny county attended the meeting,
and despite the fact that all told there were
more than 200 modern politicians crowded
into an absurdly small room, there was no
pickering and peace and harmony prevailed.
1t was the first meeting of the new COM
mittee since the election of officers, and
this, coupled with the fact that q most i'm
portant campaign is about to begin, ac-
counts for the unusually large attendance.
Among those who participated in the pro-
ceedings were State Senator Finn, Judge
Betterman, County Commissioner Weir,
Pension Agent Harry Bengough, Chief
Brown, of the Department of Public Safety;
President Ford, of Select Councils; Deputy
Sheriff John Doyle, w. A. Magee, c. L.
Magee and Judge Gripp.
Chairman Gripp called the committee to
order shortly after 2 o'clock. In a few
well-chosen words the Judge told the COM
mitteemen that he had called them together
for the purpose of announcing the different
subcommittee Among other things he
said:
Memorable Year in Politics.
'SThis bids fair to be memorable year in
politics all over the United States, and par
ticularly in this county of Allegheny. In
spite of the existing labor troubles and
kindred handicaps believe that we Repub-
Ecans can gain glorious victory if we only
take off our coats and go to work. For I
tell you, gentlemen, that We must
work harmoniously and together.
