STUBENVOLL'S HUNT.
Trying to Find a Man to
Describe the Ninth's
Harmony.

Chairman Edward s. Woolley of the Re-
publican County Committee was asked
If the Ninth Ward machine people would
request the Committee Of the Organ
ization Committee to visit that ward for
the purpose Of attempting to carry out
the plans for which the subcommittee
was selected He replied that as yet no
such request had been made. He ad-
mitted that this particular COMMITTEES
might remedy matters in that ward. At
any rate the breach could not be Wild
ened.
Not few Republicans are trying to
find out lust why the factional difficulty
exists. If one asks an anti-ringster the
cause of the many petty controversies,
one will probably be told that there is
no trouble in the ward, and that things
are running along smoothly-smoothiy
enough to suit the anti-machine forces.
The machine men viii give a very diff
ferent kind of an answer to a similar In
ouiry. Any one of them will begin to
call the anti-ring element all kinds of
bad names the instant such question
is put to him. These will tell you that
pure malice is wholly responsible for the
state of chaos existing in that ward
men who are fighting against the machine
are doing it purely for revenge. Revenge
is what the anti-ring people are out for,
because Of their leader, Johnny Landrine,
and a few others being Shut out of the
County Committee. Landrines supporters
are so few in the general body that he has
sought another way of getting back at
| the bosses. His forces, since he was shut
out Of the County Committee, have fought
the machine tooth and nail and beaten
| them out each time, as the results Of the
two recent elections in that ward will
show.
| machine man, who has unlimited
| knowledge of the inside workings of the
| party, said that Landrine wanted to again
become a leader in the Ninth Ward, nor
would he quit until that end was reached.
This fellow talks of machine tactics, y
said the speaker, ''but when ne ran this
ward not very long ago he was a veri-
table Gar He talks of the machine hold
ing Joint primaries and freezing him out,
| but it might be well for him to be re-
minded that the laudable example set by
| him an his gang was only being emulated.
| He held joint primaries and ran things to
suit himself Now that matters are equal
ized he howls like spoiled baby He shall
never get the chance again to run the
| ward as he would like to. Bossism, or
| non-bossism, as he terms it, the people
at the head of ward politics will stay
| there
| There are rumors that overtures will
be made to the antf-ring people ITO get
in line" The Subcommittee. some say,
| will be called in to attempt to heal the
differences. The anti-ring people are not
the ones who asked for a reconciliation
| 1t Is quite possible that the matter may
be taken up at the annual cIam-bake
| and outing of the Bergen Republican Club
| to be held tomorrow night at the Two
Pines Shore House, at Bergen Point. All
kinds of politicians will be present. II
is said that Louis Stubenvoll, the So
| called leader of the ward. is energetical-
| ly hustling about to get some one who
will deliver and address at the clam
| bake. The subject this gentleman has
selected is. How a Ward Should Be Run,
| from My Point of View, or Harmony
| in the Ninth
