GOLD MEN DENOUNCED
The County Democratic Com
mittee Wants Sound Money
Advocates Turned Out.

The Democratic County Committee met
last night. The session was a short one.
1t wes expected that a letter would be
received from Allan L. McDermott either
accepting or declining the Congressional
nomination. Nothing was heard from the
candidate however, probably because he
notified of his nomination. As
Robert Davis was kept busy assigning
speakers to banner raislngs, open air
and indoor ratification meetings which
are booked for the coming week.
In all parts of the county meetings are
to be held, and it is feared that it Will
be impossible to find sufficient number
Of speakers to attend them. From this
time on the Campaign Committee will
not attempt to assign speakers to meet
ings unless those in charge give ample
notice of their intention to hold meetings.
In Harrison and Kearny a lively cam
Paign is to be conducted and two BAN
Eers are to be raised there Monday night.
1t surprised the members of the Cam
paign Committee somewhat when the
Harrison committeeman announced that
Mayor Edward Kenny, who opposed AL
Ian L. MoDermott for the Congressional
nomination, is to speak at every public
meeting in Harrison and Kearny. Mr.
Kenny kicked over the traces for a time
but he is back in harness again, hustling
for the success of the party nominees
Reports were called for from the mem
bers of the Executive Committee relative
to the progress made in the formation
OF precinct clubs in their respective dis
trtcts. The reports were encouraging as
in every precinct in the city club has
been organized having from ten to forty
members. The members of the several
clubs are, 1t was reported, doing some old
time hustling for the regular party nom
inees.
The Executive Committee made a re-
port concerning the actions of the mem
bers of the Palmer and Buckner County
Committee. The report was to this eff
feet That Andrew ]. Corcoran. the
chairman of their alleged body of Demo-
Gratis, has and is still devoting his time
to spreading the report that the Palmer
and Buckner men nave no desire or inten-
tion to elect the men they have placed
on ticket but seek only to defeat the
nominees OF the regular party and If pcs
sible disrupt the regular party machine !"
The report caused surprise and Chair
man Corcoran was referred to as a dis
turber.
One member, speaking of the Palmer
and Buckner men, said:-'I have looked
over the list of gentlemen who are in that
committee, and t. my personal knowledge
| know majority of them have never
been Democrats. They make suggestions
and we carry them out. No sooner do we
put their plans into operation than they.
begin to kick. We make nominations and
they bolt them and l believe It is high
time that they threw aside the cloak of
Democracy they are wearing and get in
TO the Republican party which party
they invariably assist. They are not
Democrats and should be read out of the
party
These remarks were greeted with ap-
plause. and it is probable that many gen
tlefnen who for years have been attack
ing the regular party machinery will be
read cut of the party.
The committee is to hold weekly meet
ings from this time on. q
