QUITTHECOMMITTEE
REPUBLICANS FEAR DEFEAT WITH
HEADS OF THE
TICKET
EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
Candidates Admit Doran viii Be
Beaten, ana Try to Escape
Consequences of His
Campaign.

Inc Republicans can see the handwriting
on the wall. Even the veciferous claims
of Ed Parrish and Owen Mulgrew fail
to make the walls of the Republican cam
paign headquarters in the ARIEL building
ring with the echoing shouts of victory.
Parrish shrieks, 'Doran will be elected
by an immense maJey .-y because he is
paid for it. Mulgrew vigorously dupli-
Gates the claim, and ez~ Police Captain
Rouleau gives enthusiastic assent because
they have nothing else to do. On the
outside Doran with his new lieutenant,
Al Phillips, takes a turn at the labor
vote, on which Phillips has a first call
from his connection with strike i'll the
West side railroad yards a few years ago
and after an hours circling, reports come
IN from the firing line that furnish Par
rish, Mulgrew, ROuIeau company, limited,
with another victory bulletin.
Chairman Webster arrives on the scene
Mulgrew seizes the arm of the astute
chairman They retire into ambush in a
corner and the enemy loses another kopje
and is severely harassed in a disorderly
retreat. Field Marshall Webster dashes
Off to the front to give the troops on
the firing line the exhilaratfon of his per-
sonal leadership and Lieut. Mulgrew
draws up in good order at the commissary
stores awaiting the arrival Of Adjt. Gen.
Darius E. Reese.
''Traitor Irish" on the Run.
Gen Reese rushes up with the encourage
ing intelligence that a commando of Irish
allies has been wiped off the face of the
earth and that his supply OF religious and
racial ammunition is sufficient to paralyze
the enemy entrenched on Dayton's bluff
He announces that he will make an on
slaught there Monday night which will
result in the organization of another
large reconcentrado camp.
Reese gallops off amid the cheers Of
subalterns Parrish, Mulgrew and Rouleau
and Doran stock goes up with immense
bounds until Register of Deeds NJ F.
Fitzgerald puts in an appearance ami in
nocently inquiries about the IateE. news
from the insurgent camp in the Pioneer
Press office. Then Clerk of Courts Rogers
just drops in to inquire If there have
been any changes in the scheduled pro
gramme Of campaign arguments about
taxes and if there is the remotest posi-
bility of his being allowed to speak at
another So meeting
The candidates keep religiously away
from the headquarters or choose the hours
when they are most liable to miss Doran
or McCardy. They are sick and make
little attempt to disguise that fact They
OBJECT to the management of the cam
palgn and unite in laying their troubles
at the feet of Doran and McCardy.
Candidates Are Ugly.
Their plant is that it was not enough to
handicap them with Doran as the head Of
the ticket and a disturbing element in
the campaign machine, but that he and
McCardy must needs by their fool tao
ties bring on the whole ticket the results
of reputation from the leading party
organ, after setting Reese to stir up fac,
tIonal religious and race troubles that
will not down. They openly if not pub lie
ly admit the defeat Of the head Of the
ticket and more openly declare that they
Don't care a rap. 1t serves him right
The jill feeling at headquarters has re-
suited in an entire lack of organization
between the candidates, and a race which
is every man for himself and the devil
take the hindermost. The feeling against
the head of the ticket is so bitter that if
they dared work openly several candi-
dates would be squarely opposed to Doran
and McCardy. All Of the candidates feel
that they have suffered heavily from Nc
Cardy's tax misstatements, and the re-
opening of characteristic Doran cam
paign and among several are old sores
that will never heal. The expressions OF
a prominent candidate yesterday voices
the sentiments of a majority Of the men
on the ticket. He said:
Every Man fer Himself.
Ae-FO lIOupleS VI my OWN ana am at
tending to them. Those fellows make
blunder after blunder, and every one Of
thera affects the whole ticket A lot Of
5choolhoys would exhibit better political
judgment, and I have steered clear OF
them from the start 1 am making a still
hunt for election on my qualifications
for the Office 1 seek. do not dare say
word for either Doran-er AIcCardy if I
so desired All CT the fellows on the as
seTnbly ticket feel the same way, and if
at meeting you hear one of them boost
Doran or McCardy it's because he is
forced to do so. You will not hear any
Of them making talks for the heads of
the ticket outside of meeting
The effects Of the Doran- McCardy cam
