He smiled. Picking up the bill Of fare.

FAGAH's FATAL APPOINTMENTS

Had the Twelfth Ward Democratic
workers themselves planned the present
condition of affairs in the Republican
camp in that ward, they could not have
shown better hand. The Republican
camp there is split worse than it ever
was. and that, too, just after it had been
eemented closer than it ever was. There
has always been an independent Republi-
can element in the ward, much larger
proportion than in any other ward in the
city. 1t was the very stronghold of the
McEwanites, and there are lots of 'em
still left.
Whatever else may have been said of
the strength of Mayor Fagan's recent APP
pointments, it was admitted on all sides
that his treatment of the Twelfth Ward
Republican workers was not likely to
strengthen his party in that section. The
turning down of George Hoehl, presi-
dent of the Twelfth Ward Improvement
Association, who was, it is claimed by
his smany friends, who worked hard for
him, had been slated for Fire Commits
sionership. Hoehl who is personally
popular, and deservetily so, had the full
support of the Twelfth Ward Republi-
can Club, which, during the last munic-
pal campaign, made things hum. The
turning down Of both Gustav Pingsten
and George Hoelil and the naming of
John Doseher al the befest Of the Ere
mont Club. as Assessment Commissioners,
simply stirred up hornets nest. Now
on top of it all, Mr.. Doscher has moved
into the Twelfth Ward. and it is said is
to become the Republican leader Of the
word. OF course. the already incensed
workers of the party will tamely sub
nit (D If they do, it viii be one of the
strangest things that ever happened in
the ward. '.Twelfth-Warder' is a
synonym for ''k,<ker," and has been for
long time.
