BOSS BUCKLEY

TOOTS HIS HORN

A somewhat startling development in
what promises 10 be a hot campaign full
Of surprises comes early in the shape of

openly In politics again, and that on Mon
day next Democratic headquarters" will
be opened in the Baldwin Annex, now be-
ing remodeled and repaired.
on Monday two nicely furnished suites
Of rooms in the now fenced and blackened
Baldwin Annex will be open under the
superintendeuce of Alex Greggains, one
OF the old guard that has been loyal
through all these years Of Buckley adver-
sitv. Mr.. Buckley is supposed TO pay the
bills. The play, as indicated above, is to
be that these are Democratic headquar-
tiers and glad hand is to be kept
vibrating through a hole by the open door
day and night. An Democrats" will be
welcomed, even and possibly especially,
members Of the Committee Of One Hun
dred.
The Democratic Central Club will soon
be one Of the Democratic storm centers.
Its rapidly growing membership has now
reached nearly 1000 II is going 10 have a

mally called the meeting Of the execu-
tive committee to consider the Heeney
appeal but said yesterday that it would
be held within few days and that the
appeal which involves the existence of
the Committee Of One Hundred. was the
only reason for the meeting. Mr.. Mann
thinks that his decision to call the meet
ing for this vital purpose has been mis-
understood and in discussing the mat
ter yesterday said, briefly:
There seems 10 be a mistaken idea that
my calling the meeting is for the purpose.
on my part, of disturbing the Committee
of One Hundred. The fact is that the ex-
Of the appeal until after the Legislature
adjourns.' The Legislature has adjourned
and in calling the committee together TO
consider the appeal ! am but performing
mere ministerial duty, to which I am
bound in pursuance of the orders Of the
committee. If / should fail to call the
committee together for this purpose it
might be charged that / had some Interior
purpose and was in alliance with some
faction. I do not know what the com
mittee will do with the appeal of course.
disclaim any leaning to any faction, and
believe that factions should disappear at
the time of this Democratic opportunity,
and that few Democrats should not get
together and refuse to recognize the rest
Of the party as Danaocrats."
