His Friendsl

Fire Chief Conway's vacation began
yesterday. He is bent on getting the ut
most enjoyment out of it, and with char
acteristic generosity he gave all his
friends who CHANGED to call upon him a
a clam dinner. He purchased two thou
sand five hundred fresh, succulent
CLANS and served them in chowder, stews
and on the half shell.
Whats more the Chief opened nearly all
of them himself. He worked at it almost
all day yesterday. Friends came and
were RECALLED with a royal mess of the
salt, juicy, bivalYes, with which liquid
refreshments were served. The Chief was
not satisfied until all his friends had had
plenty. The more CLANS they ate the
more he appreciated it.
Robert Connell ate $50. "Ras" Lewis
was about all day. He claims to be a
small eater, hut the street car upon the
rear platform of which he rode down
town was tilted at the rear in a manner
of the front truck would leave the
tracks. Even the ~neighbors' children were
not forgotten by the Chief. Many of them
enjoyed dishes Of the fragrant and PAL
atable chowder.

MCEE'S BOMB.
He Proposes Precinct Pri-
maries to the Ninth
Ward Republicans.
BY RDEROF HEADQUARTERS
Jack Graham Has His Usual
Howl and Decision is Post
poned Two Weeks.

Mr.. Flavel MCGEE threw a large slzeu
bombshell into the camp of the Repupil-
can ringsters last evening, at a meeting
of the Ward Association of the Ninth
Ward. Not only was there a surprise
anon the constituents of the bosses but
also among the henchmen of John T.
Iandrine. who has been and who is OPP
posed to the ring. The nature of this lit
tie unpleasantness was in the shape OF q
verbal resolution asking for separate ana
distinct precinct primaries. This the ring
followers have opposed most s~trenuously
from the very start.
When those present recovered their
breath a howl ensued. Jack Graham
naturally was one of the kickers- Ed
ward Mitchell followed suit. Both clam
ored against any such procedure, claims
ing that such a movement would place
matters in the hands of those who have
fought against the party.
This sort of talk, which is usual, con-
tinued until the members got weary.
Then Mr.. Frank Higgins moved that the
resolution be placed on the table for two
weeks, In order to give the members time
for consideration.
The beauty of it all is that Mr.. MCGEE
is known to have come from Headquarters
with orders to put the resolution. This
is considered q complete victory for the
a-ntt-ringsters It is said that the bosses.
have come to the conclusion that m
must exist in that ward, and that the only
way to promote harmony is to recognize
those who have remained on the outside
for so long.
There is little doubt that the ward lead
ers will toe the mark and execute the or
ders of the bosses with ~neatness and de-
spatch. no matter how bitter the task
may be. These bosses, as The News
has told have always fought bitterly
against precinct primaries and enroll
ments. Only at the last meeting OF the
Ward Association a resolution asking TOT
precinct primaries was buried. The selec-
zion of a Joint primary ticket, 70 ne pre-
pared bv a committee composed OF ring
and anti-ring men, was discussed rms
also will be seriously considered II Is
lust possible that this committee may
be appointed at the next meeting oI tnS
Bergen Republican Club. to be held next
Tuesday night. At n rate, the anti
ringsters feel confident that they VIII
