BLOOD ON THE MOON.
The Next Democratic County
Committee Meeting Will
Be Lively,
BOSS DAVIS GALL DOWNS :
Big Surprise Party in Prepar-
alton for Him What Kern
Says of Him.
BOSS DAVIS CALL DOWNS" I"
Dictatorship Must Be Reorganized
Out of the Party.

County COMMITTEES, whichis to take place
next Friday evening. That certain men,
bers are going to be hauled over the Goals
is q well known fact. but it will be news
to members of the committse who are not
coming in for share of "Bob's" ven-
peance that the members who are to be
SO roughly handled have held little
conference and intend s'declari ngp them
selves. no matter what the results may
be.
Andy" Boyle. "Bill" Kern and Mike
Coyie's committeeman are the pr incipal
ones slated for 'scall down." But taese
gentlemen intend dropping bombshell
which will give old Democratic head
quarters severe shaking up
KERN Is SIGNIFICANT.
To ask "BilI Kern what the commit
teemen from his district intend doing. Is
useless. That foxy" gen tleman merely
gives you a smile for your rr rouble, Dur
ing the course of a conversation yester-
day. however, he sa id;-"There are
a number OF men In the DEM
ocratic County Committee who
ought to bounced out iu hurry.
They are no good and are TO rever causing
dissentions.in the party ranks. AS long
as q certain gentleman prot cots them.
they will cause mischief. an the outcome
of the whole affair will be the disruption
of the party in this coua ~. don't
bell We that much will be done in the
COMMITTEES very soon. think the COM
mitteemen who are in such bad repute
know their own business, without having
it dictated.
"Things have been carried too far;
democrats are tired of it and 30 are the
people,
To get Mr. Kern to more fully ex plain
the true meaning OF his last senten ce was
useless effort. Mr.. Kern is shrewd
politician. and one of the few in the
county who will not submit to Do ssism.
The recent political overthrow was more
congenial subject for Mr.. Kern.
''If that Andy Boyle" said he. "had not
meddled with business that did not con-
cern him, things might have been differ
ent. Mind. you, I do not say the result
might have been different, bat that ma ms
actions caused bad feeling. Anyone
up this way could see how the
election was going. Democratic ballots
were discarded and Republican ones
used, There was no scratching. as wal
supposed. Is was clean refusal OF voters
to support Democratic candidates. not
Alderman-at-Largs or Alderman. but
Freeholder. There is where the fight
was, and 1t was disastrous one.
DAvIs's DUPLICrTY.
s'There was no opposition from the lead
ers to my candidacy for FreehoI der until
this man Boyle stepped in. Ihad Davies
support Until the Wednesday preceding
the night on whicn our con ventions
were held. Then Mr.. Boyle got Davis's
ear and committeeman were requfr ed to
deliver their delegates against me- The
result made this primary electio n. But
Things have got to be changed. More
active workers in the County G ommittee
are necessary. say. let men who have
districts. run them. Outside inter fer enes
causes trouble, as has been see q. Some
peoples eyes will be opened TO this fact
soon.
II am sorry Mr.. Allen was defeated
but no sacrifices were made. 1t was an
awful knockout. Boyle made better
run than thought he would.
The sarcasm embodied in this last re-
mark was rich and Mr.. Kern eau sed
number of his supporters who hea rd the
whole conversation TO smile.
ALLEN IS DAVIS VICTIM
Mr.. Aliens kind acceptance of his de-
feat has caused much favorable and
friendly comment. Mr.. Allen Is deep
thinking man. and one OF few words.
He is not of vindictivs disposition, and
it Is an tier impossibiiity TO get him to
say word against aay man or men who
are responsible for his defeat. But ne
clearly understands the situation. To
friend. it is understood, he remar ked:-
There is no Democratic party in the
county any more Things have been car
ried too far. If .Bil' Kern had not been
mo,ested, would not have been a beaten
man. My own party defeated me. but the
time is coming when the mistakes made,
which are now dawning upon certain dc
rators. will be beyond repair. Already,
irreparabie injury has been done, and as
for the party is none"
Mr. Alien Will rot say these things
himself for publication, but from reliable
sources they are given as the So bstance
of his ramarks since election.
The "Hoodoo Boss'' In sacr ifcing Mr.
Allen by his selfish endeavors TO trarnple
on everybody else, has lost the Demo
cratic party thousands of able supporters.
A shorough reorganization is necessary,
and until that is effected, until bossism
IS utterly crushed out. and true Demo-
cratic methods are restored through the
rule of the patty BY the district chiefs,
under the leadership-not the dictator
ship--of some shrewd and dislnterested
leader, there win be no effective orgsni-
cation, and little change in the unbroken
succession Of parry defeats.
WASHED OVERHEARD AT SEA.
