Ninth Ward Republicans
Will Discuss the Politi-

RING TROUBLES STILL ON

The Republicans of the Ninth ward ars
to meet tomorrow night and discuss the
political situation as it appears to them.
Fortunately for the leaders of the ward,
the Republican National ticket is expect
ed to carry the ward for them, which will
doubtless save them an unusual amount
of worrying. Presidential elections, which
generally tend to unite the various fac
tions of each party, appear to have no ef-
feet this year on the scrapping forces OF
the ward. Instead of attempting to
smooth over the controversies and har-
monize the party in the ward to some ex-
tent those who have been instrumental in
keeping the political pot boiling are fight
ing as hard as ever.
The recent session of the Ward Associa-
tion, at which the ward bosses jammed
through a resolution appointing election
officers for every precinct in the ward,
which was contrary to agreement and at
variance with promises made by the
leaders, caused the fight to be renewed
with additional vigor. The anti-ring fac
tion will just quit this fall, and let the
bosses do the lighting alone. The ward is
conceded to the Republican party and
this is one of the reasons why the anti

The Ward Association. which practically
controls matters, is held by the ring peo-
pie by one vote. Chairman Louis Stuben-
vol of this association, has been won over
by the anti-ring people since he was given
the marble heart by the ring. He in
tended to get out at the last meeting, but
the conditions were unfavorable to him,
and the resignation remained hidden IN
his pocket. He intends to go on record as
being opposed to the machine. and he is

ton who will not be controlled by the
ring.
Stubenvoll was the last Chairman OF
the Organization Committee of the Cows

number of ring men. A bitter resolution
protesting against Mitchell was presented
at the last session of the County Commit

Mr.. John p Landrine, who was chair
man of the Organization Committee dur
ing the last Presidential campaign and
who was a great help to the party, as the
interviewed on the political situation. He
said he understood that the leaders had
taken the management Of the county af-
fairs out of the hands of the Organization
Committee and that the Executive Com
mittee would look after all the details.
This is considered slap at Mitchell who
is chairman of the Organization Commit
tee. but some are in doubt as to whether
the leaders meant it as rebuff fer Mitchell.
There is little use for one to work hard
for the party any more" said Mr.. Lam

have been vilified for no reason what
ever. There is no recognition to be had
and when credit is due for the labors put
forth in the interests of the party, the
leaders forget who did the work.
II sincerely hope the national ticket
will be successful. But if the leaders here
imagine that the county is to be carried
without hard work, they are very much
mistaken. The bitter fights throughout
the county against te leaders who are
constantly feathering their own nests.

how the county stands and just how
much real hard work the county leaders
do in the interest of the National ticket.
Somthing will drop if the county does
not go for Mckinley & Roosevelt.
"a change must take place some day
and then the people who have done work
for the Republican party win come out on
top of the heap. while those now at the
head will take the usual back seat.''
