DR.. Cave, the fusion nominee for coro-
ner, has made the first break in the
Demo-Pop ticket. There will be others
before the campaign Is over. M. Caves
breakaway from the ticket Is simply in
dicative of the futIlity OF the campaign
the men on the ticket feel
Yesterday he notified the clerk not ~
put his name on the ticket and the Demo-
cratic central committee named Dr.. Parr
to take his place. This choice will have
to be confirmed by the Populist commit
tee, but as the Populist committee has
been doing nothing for the last two years
but approve what the Democratic com
mittee tells It to approve, 1t Is regarded
as settled that DR.. PARIS selection will
be confirmed and will stand.
DR.. Cave give as his reaon for refusing
to run that he does not want to run
against an old soldier, n. NJ. McColiister.
In addition to that DR.. Cave realized
there was no use going before the people
as an exponent of hauling down the
American flag. DR.. Cave is patriotic. He
believes that the American nation IS the
greatest nation on earth He believes
that 1t ought not to take a backward
step at the threat Of any men or race OF
men. He believes in the flag and he alb
hors any one who would try to haul 1t
down.
The announcement of DR.. Caves inten-
ton to pull OF the ticket created CON
sternation among all the other members
OF the ticket except Hewey. 1T will dis
organize the campaign" they told him.
-Four years ago Judge Reed pulled off
the Republican ticket" they told him.
"and the Republicans couldn't get their
feet during the campaign again"
But If DR.. Cave is anything he is indie
pendent and down off that ticket he
meant to get. and down he got.
The Democratic central committee met
yesterday but didn't do anything in par
ticular. George Locke, with his cohorts,
was there to prevent Tammany from TAX
ing any action resembling the action of
the committee on a previous Saturday in
regard to the printing.
The Dale men are jubilant They have
assured themselves that Tammany viii
not bite and that the thing to do with
that organization is TO discipline 1t. One
OF them said yesterday: THAT good lick
ing George Locke gave It did Tammany
more good than anything else. 1t would
be suicidal for Judge Dale now to 90
around pleading with Tammany or show
ing any concern about them at all His
cue. and he understands 1t, Is to treat
Tammany as IL 1t didn't exist. 1t is a
spoiled baby and II you pay any atten-
ton to its bawling IT will bawl harder
than ever Judge Dale knows this. The
minutes he goes to patting Tammany on
the neck and calling 1t a good thing Tam
many will show it's teeth. II he will
ignore It, 1t will be around begging for
terms of peace before the campaign Is
half over.'
1t Is true that the Tammany men are
keeping mighty still. but they deny that
1t Is from fear of George Locke. They
charge that George Locke will have 10
answer for the way he gained his victory
by bringing into the committee meeting
five proxies of alleged Democrats living
in townships in Sedgwick county which
have never in their history sent a Demo-
crat to a convention in Wichita
az took the names OF the Democrats
whose proxies gorge Locke held" said
one Tammanyits yesterday. land looked
in the county directory and on the farm
maps and there are no men with those
names in the county. But that's all
right There will be a day Of reckoning
for George"
what about Judge Dale?' this Tam
manyite was asked.
I'm not talking about Dale" he snap |
ped back
The Tammanyites rather hint that they |
are responsible for DR.. Caves retirement |
from the ticket They say that DR.. Cave |
deserted them for George Locke in rhe /
committee meeting on the printing and |
he realized that his cake was dough.
George Locke says that this had moth
ing to do with DR.. Caves retirement. |
and as Charley Davis says: Whenever
they get ahead OF old gorge Locke
they've got to be mighty smooth
