REORGANIZATION.
Mitchell Says the Best
Thing is to Drift Till
the People Tire.

After the meeting of the Bergen Re
publican Club, Tuesday night, Mr.. Ed
ward Mitchell, who has been recognized
as one of the machine leaders in the
Ninth ward, spoke in bitter terms of the
work mapped out for the picked Organ
ization Committee. This committee, as
'.The News" has stated, has inaugurated
a plan to gather the opinions of past
and present members of the County Com
mittee, with the object of effecting a
harmonious state of affairs in the county
"I don't know whose plan it is said
Mr.. Mitchell, .'but it is silly one al
any rate What man cares to give his
opinion and register a kick when the evi-
dence is retained against him? writ
ten opinion not few of the Republi-
cans refuse to give. They are not to be
blamed for not answering the questions
sent out by the committee | did not
approve of the plan myself, and | believe
that a better method could be employed
towards unifying the forces.
MY opinion is that the party will DRIFT
back into power again, when the people
get tired of the Democracy This was
done once before in this city, and 1t Is
one of the safest ways of harmonizlng
the party. Let things go along slowly
and in time our party will drift back into
power.' Mr.. Mitchell said it might be
a good idea to gather the forces IN the
North Hudson section to prepare for the
fall campaign
A prime mover among the anti-ringsters
was asked if any opinions had been sent
to the Organization Committee suggest
ing changes or recommending any action
.No replies have been sent from our
CAMP was the reply. 1--WE know eur
little book. 1t is doubtful if we will
send in any opinions, as these might
some time be used against us. Let
them go ahead and hang themselves. The
rope is not large, and only few mis-
erable tactics remain to be employed
before the stock is exhausted.
This plan may be all right according
to the bosses way of thinking, but who
can see any good in the result of all this
labor? 1t is certain to be fruitless. NO
one will obey orders, even If certain
line of action is decided upon. There
can be no harmony with the present
leaders. Woolley has to get out before
a certain class of people will come out
ana fight for the party. This, he says.
would be cowardly I think that II
would be a graceful thing for him to
step down and out and thus serve the
party at least one good turn.
"Aomitting that Mr.. Woolley has bene-
fitted the party. it is certain that ne IS
openly declared that they will never
work under him. When matters assume
such shape it is time for action, II the
party is to be saved
