New York. Dec. 21.--The sentiment
In favor of municipal reform and
greater purity in local politics, which
has caused such an upheaval at the
last municipal election, has by no
means died out. It has found firm
footing among the better elements of
both parties and determined efforts
have since been made to shake off the
yoke Of Boss Rule. which has rested
10 heavily upon both leading parties.
While the Civil league and the Mu-
nicipal Ownership league are princ-
pally responsible for the revolt against
the corrupt rule of Tammany Hall and
its bosses, the republican party of this
city owes 1t directly to President Roos-
evelt that II was unable to emancipate
Itself from the oppressive rule of
odell. who combined the position of
governor of the state with that OF po-
litical boss of the New York republi-
cans
The election of Governor Higgins
greatly strengthened the reform ele-
ment in the republican party. but no
body can say how long the Odell rule
would have been perpetuated, had 1t
not been for the direct interference OF
President Roosevelt.
The question. who Is to be the leader
OF the republican party i'm this city.
will be decided this afternoon at a
meeting of the republican county COM
n hnt al
William Halpin, the willing tool and
personal representative of Ex-Governor
Odell, who has held the position of
chairman OF the republican committee
and OF the county executive commit
tee. feeling that the power of Boss
odell was waning. declined to be n
candidate for reelection. That left
Odell without n candidate.
Senator Plat advocated the election
OF ]. Van Vochten Olcott. but when
the latter discovered that he could
get neither the support Of Secretary
Root nor President Roosevelt, he also
declined to be a candidate. Mr.. Odell
tried 60 induce Congressman Herbert
Parsons to become his personal rep
resentative, when he heard that Pres
ident Roosevelt favored the election
of Mr.. Parsons but the latter openly
declared that he would not consent to
be a candidate for any faction of the
party.
Mr.. Parsons has the support not
only of President Roosevelt and the
leaders of the republican party, but
also OF the reform element of the
New York republicans. who are bit
terly opposed to Odell and his rule.
II is not doubted in republican circles
that Mr.. Parsons will be elected coun-
ty chairman and chairman OF the ex-
ecutlve committee at the meeting this
afternoon.
