Tip Has Been Passed
Around That Meeting
Will Be Held Tonight.
Bach VIII Not Be
There
Union Republican, Who
Have Been approached
Wary of Scheme.
Hunting for Traitor in
Camp

Those interested IN the formation OF
the Independent Republican party win
hold the first meeting this evening The
place or time Is not given because the
promoters do not want TO be disturbed
by those who might not be in accord
With the wishes OF those who have
taken the initiative. The aVowcd OBJ
tect OF those who are interested Is to
bring together the voters who are dis
satisfied with the other two parties.
and TO lead one big party on to victory.
Among those who arc supposed to
know however the opinion prevails
that the promoters either want TO be
reelected to Office or want office The
object Of the new party Is 10 got an
organization which win help those af-
ter the spoils accomplish their amhi-
ton.
A trap is being laid'for the men who
would vote the Union Republican tick
ct. The idea is to set them away from
that organization by the representa-
tion that they favor majority rule and
by ntimatinp that the Unions win get
their share OF the Offices. In reality
the prime movers simply wish 70 make
themselves good for another term and
place others who belong TO the same
clique IN Office. The Unions who have
been approached are afraid to be
dupcd.
The leaders are aFitated because
they believe they have a traitor in their
ranks. One man said today thot he
had been told that someone on the in
side was carrying Information to those
not in harmony with the plan. IL he
is discovered he will be ousted.
