Some of the appOintees of the present

This was the climax of a laundering
speech by George R. Hancock on lack OF
party loyalty at a meeting of the Amer
lean club in its new quarters in the Atlas
block last night.
The speech was in measure reply to
one made by Judge A. n. Cherry on pat
rlotism and party loyalty. Mr.. Hancock
insisted that outsiders had been gwen po-
sitions over the heads of capable party
workers. He said the party had been
fought in the council by those elected on
the American ticket.
RuthIessIy Turned Down.
J. NJ. Cohn followed MIR. Hancock and
his remarks were along the same lines.
I'VE will have to learn practical poll
tics before the party can succeed. sand
Mr. Cohn Both men and women who
worked faithfully for the party two years
age and were the direct cause of
the success of the party in elect
ing a city ticket were ruthless

I These men and women should have been
given the offices which they had worked
for aud which by rights belonged TO them,
but were ignored in favor Of enemies, who
fought against the party during the cam
paign and were then given office: The
defeat of the party in the fall election
was due to these acts. and also the deIeat
