MAYOR FAyORs cold MAN

Free Silver Democrats in Whining
ton are growing skeptical in their be-
lief in the adherence Of Mayor John
c. Fahey to Bryan and the policy of
16 to 1. They admit that the political
professions OF the mayor are all right,
but that his political practices are
strangely at variance with his official
acts. They lay stress on the fact that
in his first appointment. that of a
Water Commissioner, he selected DR..
Joseph p. Pyle. a man who signed the
call for the Palmer and Buckner con-
vention here four years ago.
Now that he has appointed his
Board Of Health members, the criticism
increases in It's severity. II is alleged
that Frederick Mammele, Dr. w. p.
Miller and Dr James Il. Morgan sign
ed that same Palmer and Buckner call,
or were in sympathy with that inde-
pendent movement. George b. Ward
is said to be the only one of the four
appointees who preserved his regularity
in those trying days OF the Delaware
Democracy.
This three-fold recognition Of the
Sound Money Democrats by the mayor
has put new life and hope into the
Palmer and Buclxner element here, and
its members are In high feather, and
more confident than ever that they
will have a commanding voice in the
