PAP HUNTERS ANGRY
Why the Sixth District Re-
publicans Did Not
Endorse Mayor
Wanser.
TURN THE DEMOCRATS OUT.
This Is the Howl of the Machine
Would-be Lowell Is the
Kicker.

The story of the row in the Sixth Alder
manic District Republican Association,
which was published exclusively in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS last evening, is the sole
topic of conversation in Republican circles.
Everyone scored the association roundly for
refusing to endorse the appointments made
by Mayor Wanser. At the Wanser Club
rooms, at the junction, a number OF the
Minkakwa Club members were discussing
the matter with the Wanseritos when a re-
porter of THE JERSEY CITY NEWS called
there.
NOT PAP ENOUGH.
President Frank J. Higgins of the Wanser
Club was not present, but another officer,
who for personal reasons does not desire to
nave his name mentioned, volunteered to
make a statement. He said
"When the resolution endorsing Sher1ff
Toffey's appointments was presented, it was
suggested that the Mayors appointments be
also endorsed. This was merely a Sugges-
ton and not an amendment. The suggestion
was not carried out, as the majority of the
members are of the opinion that Mayor
Wanser has not give the Sixth district
proper representation in his appointments.
They believe that no endorsement should be
made of his appointments until the district
receives what it is entitled TO.
Neither the Wanser Club nor the Lafa-
yette Battery is to blame. This matter is
not the sentiment of the clubs, but of the
republicans of the district. Mayor Wanser,
in his appointments, has failed to recog-
nize the real workers of the party and
for this reason his appointments
are not popular with the republicans OF this
district. Sheriff Toffey, on the other hand,
has given us proper representation. Out

thus far, the Sixth district has secured four.
They are:-Frank J.. Higgins, clerk in
Sherlf's office; Allan Terwilliger and Ben
nett Stockman. keeper in the County Jail;
and E. 7. Mitchell, warden Of Jail. All of
these men are hustlers for the party, and
their appointment meets with the approba-
ton of all the republicans in the district.
If Mayor Wanser had followed the same
course his appointments would have also
been endorsed. The Mayor has not treated
lis exactly right. There are scores of places
in the various boards now occupied by
democrats which he should declare vacant,
SO that he could reward the men who work
ed hard at the polls in his behalf.s
LOWELL Is THE KICKER.
Mr.. Theodore Wegman, the Treasurer OF
the Minkakwa Club, was among the repub-
licans at the Wanser Clubrooms. When l
asked him about the matter, he said

the sentiment of the member of the Min
kakwa Club. The club is we'll satisfied with
Mayor Wanser's selections, and has passed a
number of resolutions endorsing his ap-
pointments."
The reporter learned that the motion to
postpone action on the suggestion" to the
resolution offered at the meeting of the Dis
trict Association was made by W. H. Lowell
of the Lafayette Battery. Lowell was a
candidate for Fire Commissioner, and
worked bard to secure the place. The re-
publicans in the district who are siding with
Mayor Wanser say that Lowell opposed the
suggestion" because he was not selected for
the position he longed to fill.
THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
The Advisory Committee of the District
Association which was instructed at the last
meeting to communicate with all the boards
in the city with a view to securing pap"
for the district, held a meeting at the Wan
ser Club last evening. The Secretary of the
Committee reported that he had sent letters
to all the boards, but had not yet received
any replies. The Committee having no bust
ness to transact adjourned Immediately after
the Secretary gave his report.
