"PERFIDY" OF LYNCH
MAKES EGGERS MOAN
Expected Endorsement of Deane for Shrievalty
Nomination Causes Grief to One of Aspirants

If there is politician in town who is
just little bit sorer than any other
politician it is Fred Eggers, one of the
seven republicans striving for the
shrievalty nomination. Being an acute
politician, Eggers is not making his
moan on the ear tracks in the middle
Of Market street. Eggers does not be-
lieve in the publicity of political griev-
ances. but when he meets discreet
friend his grief is let loose.
The burden of the Eggers tale of
woe is the perfdy of John c. Lynch,
bosslet in the Herrin dispensation.
Eggers declares that John Lynch has
thrown him down.
For years Eggers has cherished an
ambition to be sheriff Even while
luxuriating in the dignity of a super
visor, Eggers gaZed longingly at the
big patronage office and dreamed of the
time when it should be his.
This year. with the enactment of the
direct primary law, Eggers saw an op-
portunity to achieve his lifelong am
bition. So he plunged into the fight
with vigor. AS an aid TO winning the
nomination, Eggers coveted the in
dorsement of the businessmens COM
mittee of 25. He received assurances
that the Endorsement would be forth
coming. He looked upon John C. Lynch
as the man who would land it for him.
But, alas, for the vanity of human
wishes and the strength of human
have been kept in store for John j.
Deane. 1t develops that Lynch is for
Deane; it develops that Lynch was for
Deane right along.
So Eggers is weeping invisible tears,
cursing Johnny Lynch under his mus
tache and telling, confidentially, the
story of how Lynch threw him down.
Some of the politicians are wondering
whether q candidate who is SO sus
ceptible to grief over a political re-
verse is fit for the stern duties of the
sheriffs Office.
LITERATURE OF LEAGUE
The municipal league of independent
republican clubs in its primary cam
paign for Byron Mauzy and the rest
of its ticket it going in for literature,
which will be mailed to all the repub-
| lican voters. A folder now being pre-
pared will contain photographs of all
| the lea que candidates, together with a
! statement of the purposes and platform
of the league and Endorsements of it's
work from influential republicans. The
! league intends to send out $4,000 of
| these circulars. having ascertained
| from the registrar that there is a
rough figure for the republican vote.
! The same calculations place the demo-
/ cratic vote at $4,000, the union labor
| vote at 1900 the socialist vote at 1000,
| the doodle dee vote al 1000. This
would give a total vote of 70,50o.

containing candidates who would stand

/ broached there was a disposition among
some of tie organization men who took
an interest in the scheme to throw

Sanderson on account of their political
leanings toward the San Francisco

murmurings against Daniel G. Murphy

possess too much strength to be over
