Nlkbln TIE FaTty-
II there is any hostility to Robert Davis
in The Democratic County Committee or
in the ranks of the party. why does it
not make itself apparent -courageousiy
and above board? Why do not some of
the leaders. who hin they d. not ike
him. come out openly, state their grew
him and them. There is too much under
haad. hole and corner plotting for the
party's good. and it is time for it to
stop.
Just after election, an election which
we do not hesitate to say was TO a con-
siderable extent won by Mr.. Davis clever
leadership. 1.-THE News discovered the
conspiracy within the party ranks to
turn Bob down. and make certain
other ex-office holders and ex-local bosses
chief beneficiaries of the party victory.
The News laid the facts before the
public. and on the spot there was a rush
to cover on the part of the detected
plotters. Some of them came to- assure
The News that it was all a mistake
n others fell over themselves to as
sure Mr.. Davis that they were his most
devoted friends.
men now active again. maturing their
purposes with just a slight change of
plan. The mildest IN that can be
made upon their conduct is that they
care very little about party success
when they thus breed discord and dis
trust in the critical hour of the party's
recovery from a long sickness.
There is one redeeming feature to the
situation. Nothing could be much more
emphatic than the rejection of the dis
turbing proposals by the rank and file
of the political clubs. The votes in the
Third and Fourth. ward organizations on
Monday evening may be regarded as pretty
decisive. In all probability the other Sec
ions of the city will be even more en-
phatic in their aversion from any change
in the present makeup of the County
Committee. The Third and Fourth wards
are those In which the kicking element
would have strength, if anywhere. In
view of the votes of Monday night. it is
not to be expected that the County Com
m.ttee will seriously consider any propo-
sition looking towards a change.
But is this to be the end of the
struggle? VIII the indictments be con-
WINGED that this is no time to stir up
trouble? Or will the fight be kept going
until the spring election is here? 1t is
to be hoped that for the general good
of the party they will stop their f~actious
schemes. But if they are not satisfied, it
is to be hoped they will come right out
openly in opposition to the present or
ganizatson and its leadership. Let there
be a square fight and then we shall soon
see who the real leaders of the party
are.
