Party Lines Broken
With the mayoralty situation is hope
iessly and almost overwhelmingly en-
tangled the district attorneyship fight
which beyond the possibility of a doubt
has broken down party lines in every
direction and which has made the great
silent vote the determining and until
"wednesday the undisclosed factor.
The republican managers scof at the
detection of the independent repub-
lican leaders. They say that the lead
ers represent only their personal
opinions and that their eleventh hour
declarations for Lelspd were but con-
hrmation Of the belief that they never
were for Crocker.
The democratic enthusiasts and Lee
land republicans believe that the formal
declaration OF their espousal of Le-
lands candidacy by Marshall Hale
John McCanum. w ID. Fennimore. Rolla
Y. Watt. Thomas E. Haven and F. H.
Dam removed the last check upon
Landslide of independent republicans TO
Leland, which viii round up the 5000
or 10000 republican votes necessary to
elect the democratic candidate.
On the other hand, the republican
managers assert that declarations by
Independent republican leaders mean
only the unmasking of their personal
opposition to CrOcker and that the re-
publican candidate still has the loyal
support OF the great rank and file and
recognized district workers of the in
dependent republican organizations. In
substantiatiOn of their confident asser-
tiOns they say that they are willing 20
accept the showing made by the or
ganizers OF the Leland republican clubs
In the several assembly districts. Ac-
cording 10 the statements given out by
The Leland campaign mana gers Leland
republican clubs have been organized
In Is out Of IS assembly districts Ac-
cepting their statements as correct the
total enrolment of the Is clubs is
1853. The democrats say that the club
enrolment is composed exclusively of
republicans. The republicans contend
that two-thirds of the alleged enroll
ment is democratic and that half of the
remaining third is just paper.
BETTING ODDS UNCHANGED
Claims and counter claims had no
appreciable effect on the betting yes
terday. Mccarthy ruled a 10 TO Z ia
vorite over the field. And according
10 Tom Corbett there was plenty OF
money 10 back CrOcker to beat Leland,
with so little Leland money in evil
dence that there was promise of
CrOcker going favorite for second place
today
The public's betting interest cen
tered in the fight for district attorney.
Fickert was held a 10 TO 8 favorite
and with plenty of Heney money in
evidence the Heney supporters in
sisted on the preservation of the odds
At which a large aggregate amount was
placed
NJ J. Hynes. democratic candidate
for public administrator. remained a
10 10 favorite over the field, with
no short end money in sight. Fred
.Eggers, republican candidate for sher-
in. was 10 10 favorite over the
field and the price was even that Dolan,
democrat would beat Finn, union labor
aomiRee. The Dolan money was being
sent in in a manner that indicated
the democrat might rule a favorite
over Finn for second place before to-
night MUlcrevy remained 10 to 8
fsvorite over the field for county clerk
nd aside from few small freak bets,
the public had given no wagering at
tentions to any OF the other offices.
