Signs multiply that the Republican
managers OF both the Colt and the Wet,
more factions are having the scare of
their lives over the coming Democratic
state convention TO select a candidate to
be supported by the candidates of the
Democrats and Independents for United

All the old undeerfround methods have
been put in opration TO cause splits and
controversies among the Democrats
plans have already been laid 20 track the
Democratic caucuses next fall; and all
the machinery that in past years has peen
employed 10 prevent harmony in the Dem
icratic ranks has ben set in operation.
The fall campaign, however, is not dis
turbing them so much just now as the
coming convention: and every possible
effort will be made 10 obstruct the plans
for the successful consummation OF its
purpose.

easiness and are strong i'm their belief
that the party will this year he more
united and harmonious than for many
years past.
They realize fully how frightened the
Republicans are and feel that they have
them already -en-the- nun in certain ni=
rections: and they are confident that. de-
spite the disreputable tactics OF their OPP

carried through with entire success OF It's

CAUCUSES TO BE
CALLED TONIGHT
Chairman O'Neill Acquiesces in the General Senti-
ment of Leading Members of His Party.

The Democratic city committee will
expected that a call then will be issued
for Democratic primaries for the selection
OF delegates TO the Democratic state con-
vention 10 be held on May @
Chairman o'Neill, as other wise men
are reported to have done, changed his
mind after a conference with leading
members OF his party.
1t was the general sentiment that no
good reason existed why the caucuses
should not be held and that the state
commit ee,having pursued exactly the
same course as i'm previous years, had in
no sense cast any slight upon Chairman
O'neil, but that, on the contrary, he hao
received at the hands OF the present
state committee as much recognition as
any OF his predecessors.
The course now adopted by Chairman
O'Neill meets with general appreciation
among Democrats who have the true In
terests OF the party at heart, as II is felt
that It must tend TO promote harmony at
time when a certain element led on by
Republican tr1cksters, Is seeking 10 do
everything possible to wreck the party foi
it's own selfish interests.
Their game is an old one, and has pre-
viously succeeded IN dTsruptIng the local
Democrats; but II ls felt that IL has been
played for the last time.
Members OF the state central committee
say that Chairman O'Neill reached his
decision Independently of them. and that
bis action Is heartily endorsed by them as
individuals.
As committeeman. they have had no Of
hcial communication with him over the
questions involved. one OF which was tho
official recognition OF him by the state
