| Charles r. Parker is the new head of
| the Republican city and county organiZa-
| ton, and on Charles w. HOrnick, as
chairman of the executive committee,
falls the onerous task of managing the
coming campaign for T. B. Doran and in
cdentally the other Republican candi-
dates.
The formal organization of the city and
county committee was completed yester
Gay, with at least a decent show Of
harmony. The organization of the ex-
ecutive committee which is not completed
is so far as it goes. in accord with the
| ideas of the mayoralty candidate, if not
! in accord with the ideas of the COM
mitteemen and other candidates. The or
| ganization Of the city and county COM
| mittee was a distinct victory for the old
party workers, whom Doran was out to
| depose.
The old timers, who have more faith in
the work of one practical politician than
in the efficacy of twenty business men,
and who are also painfully aware that
thu committee treasury is empty and bids
fair to remain so, were behind Charlie
Parker for chairman and County Auditor
w. r. Johnson, Will DonahOwer, Fenton
G.. Warner any other politician for
chairman of the executive committee,
rather than Hornick, who was Dorans
first and last chance. The old liners were
willing to throw up their hands on the
executive committee as they figured that
Doran will have to bear the consequences
and that with the finish of the campaign
they will see the finish of the executive
committee while the city and county Or
ganizatiOn will remain in their hands.
Mr.. Doran and his friends picked J.
Watson Smith for Parker's place at the
head of the committee, and started a
quiet little campaign for the Ninth ward
man. Smiths name was akin to the
proverbial red rag shaken at the mascu-
line bovine, when the politicians stumbled
against it and then there was real war.
And they made it good. During a little
preliminary caucus skiImishing yesterday
afternoon preceding the executive session
the real ones" rubbed it into J. Watson
by getting about so per cent Of the COM
mitteemen present to admit that they
never heard of '"ths man Smith" The
fellows who had heard of Smith, includ-
ing some of those declaring to the con-
trary, were appeased by the offer to put
Smith in second place The doors were
closed and in ten minutes the first old
liner broke through the little knot of can
didates waiting in the Lincoln club lobby
and explained It's all right"
Choice of Parker Blow to DOran.
put in an appearance to voice their
choices for executive committee members
Immediately after the organization of the
permanent institution. While the com
mitteemen were turning down Doran by
electing Parker, HOrnick appeared in the
corridor and threw momentary cOnsterna-
ton into the Doran ranks by declaring
that he had decided not to accept the
Craftsmanship OF the executive commit
bp had fO Je9x
the city for a short time, which, together
with mis- other duties, would render it i'm
possible for him to give the proper atten-
ton to securing the election of Mr.. Doran
and the rest of the Republican ticket.
Doran met HCrnck on the way out, and
explained that that little trip need make
| no differ ence, HClnick must run the cam
paign, and again Mr.. Hornick consented.
The selection of the members of the
executive committee developed two
scraps, a speech from the standard bear
or, and resulted in one vacancy On the
committee, which will be filled after the
clouds roll by. ]. J. McCardy did not
grace the occasion with the light Of his
countenance but after some little delay
DCran said it was all right he knew what
the ear wanted, and they could go right
ahead. Selection by wards was decided
upon. FinehOut, Holt and DOran agreed
perfectly on Emanuel Johnson as TIE
First ward man, but Doran bolted when
Lehman, candidate for constable, wanted
S. D. Downs put on as the Second ward
representative. DOran saw a fine method
of spiking the enemies guns by naming
William L. Ames former member of the
board of public works, and dashed into
the breach with a speech. He said Ames
was a Kiefer man, and his appointment
| to the executive committee would help
tie the "Colonels'' hands. Which hands
aforesaid were sadly in need of tying.
DOran made his plea so good that Downs
was downed for Ames but he Jared worse
when it came to the Third ward.
Wolterstorff and Dellimore wanted Jake
| Riechart to represent the Third, and were
prepared to be convinced by Mr.. Doran's
vehement arguments against the Lincoln
club man. Doran wants E. G. Krahmer
to represent the Third, and the debate
got SO warm that finally one of the Doran
men suggested to Wolterstorff and DALI
more that they might bring in 'Lumpy
Shue" as their choice for Third ward rep
resentative. Each side was obstinate to
a degree that amounted to a deadlock, and
the appointment was passed over to be
filled later" Wheeler and Cook picked
Fred SchiffmaEn from the Fourth Johnny
Selb named RenVille Chinook from the
Fifth, and Doran picked Charles S.
| Schurmar from his own ward, the Sixth.
| Hornick, from the Seventh; Fenton c.
Warner from the Eighth; w B. Web
ster, Ninth; H. E. w. Schultz. Tenth,
and F. w Root, Eleventh, completed the
list. Parker at once named Mr.. Hornick
as chairman of the committee
The official roster of the city and coun-
ty organization is as follows: Chair
man, Charles r. Parker, Fourth ward;
j. Watson Smith, vice president Ninth
ward; Theodore ]. Gronewold, secretary
Fifth ward; Clinton Colledge, treasurer,
Sixth ward. OF which Smith is the only
Doran man.
