GaP. Clark to Take Up Fght-Republican Organi-
alton Badly SpIit-Speeches Make
Rank and File Sore.

while reticent in regard to the split
between Mr.. Dougheuty and the other
candidates they admitted that there
was a chasm in the Republican ranks
that 1t was impossible to bridge over.
Friends of Mr.. DougheFty insist
that the entire efforts of the Repub-
lican machine should be bended to-
ward the election of the chief execu-
tive, for the reason that on his sue
cess depends the distribution of the
entire city Republican pap.
On the left hand friends of the 9TH
en- candidates on the ticket especially
councilmen) are equally persistent
that the Offices TO which they aspire
are more important than that of may
or.
So far as the Republican SPELL
binders are concerned, their undivided
attention is to be given to Mr.. Dough-
erty's interest, in accordance with the
sentiment expressed by the speakers
at the Mckinley club pow-wow held
in the Houser block Thursday night.
That the sentiments expressed by
the speakers at the Thursday night
meeting grated harshly on the nerves
Of the rank and file is best expressed
by DR., T. G. McQuate, who said:
'Why in the name of all that is holy
and righteous politically speaking,
that stunt should have been allowed
to be pulled off / cannot conceive.
Less than week ago Doctor Street
assured me that it was his intention
to become an Independent candidate
for mayor, strenuously emphasizing

he was the only spell-binder in the
Republican party of Canton who could
run the city as it ought to be run.

For the st week rumor has been
current thu there has been a split in
the city r publican organization.
There az two contending factions,
so the story goes, one headed by Post
master GePrge B. Clark. who has as
sumed the management of the Repub-
lican mayPralty campaign, while on
the other dnd of the rope, pulling with
might and main, is the county and city
chairman, Treasurer Clark w. Metz
ger.
while Ntr. Metzger was loath to
discuss THE situation he has quietly
impaired TO friends the information
that so far as the Republican mayor
atty campPign is concerned he is a
nnnentity. The reason for his super
cedure by Mr. Clark is best explained
by MetzgeF in the following words:
"A lelover week ago Mr.. Dough-
| erty and ] had a conference on the
various intricacies of the campaign.
During this conference matters were
put uD to, me which l could not cop-
sistently indorse."
What we're the differences between
you and Nr. Dougherty?" asked the
kid reporter OF the Morning News.
When you are little older you will
be wiser 10 the political game l hope,
but in the meantime content yourself
with the statement that as city chair
man | an doing my best to elect the
whole ticket and am not nor will not
devote nv energy to the head of the
ticket ana let the other candidates
shift for bemsolves"

Md Tiger QUITS Wouldn't Stand
Fd r Double Crossing Candidates

Streets was amazed to see him head
lined as the big noise in the program
of the Mckinley club for Thursday
night It seemed TO me passing
strange that one so recently persistent
in being an independent candidate for
mayor would so suddenly drop out of
the fight and make the address which
he did, the fumes of which engulfed
the entire club rooms In a maze Of
sulphur and birthstone"
Charles C. Upham, representing
attorney, when asked concerning the
supercedure of Chairman Metzger by
Postmaster George B. Clark, said: Il
am not in politics at the present time,
but have many friends who are and
from them l have learned that the
estrangement Of Mr.. Dougherty from
County Chairman Metzger has been
such as to bring Postmaster CLARK into
the campaign as chief adviser of the
head of the ticket
Attorney Roscoe Mccullough was
also seen and while he said, IL know
nothing definitely concerning the plac-
ing of Mr. Doughertys campaign di-
rectly in the hands of Mr.. Clark and
DR.. Street, yet I ann forced to believe
that such is the case
The rank and file of the Republican
party of the city of Canton by this
move on the part of the powers that
be unequivocally express the opinion
that, "There is III on the Wabash. p"
One Of the minor candidates on the
ticket, who asks to have his name
withheld, assures the News that if he
and his fellow candidates are to be
slaughtered in the interest of the head
of the ticket, the spell-binders of the
party will find that more than one fac
tion in this Republican machine can
play the same game.
In the meantime DR.. McQuate is
leading chorus which is practicing
that head-splitting ballad entitled,

MAN BETRAYED.
BY, HIS DOGS
Suspect in Case of Muir
dered WomH is
Arrested.
MAY CLEAR MYSTERY

New York, Oct 24.-Otto Mueller,
the husband of the woman whose skel-
ton was found in the wood near Cen
trail Slip, L. l., last Sunday was arrest
ed tonight in Astoria, after a lively
chase by three Brooklyn detectives.
He has been living at Astoria un-
der the name of Frederick Gebhart
with a woman and two children.
A pair of German bred dogs brought
about Mueller's arrest. The detectives
learned that when Anna Luther Muel-
Ter and her husband left Germany,
they brought with them to this coun-
try two dogs of unusual appearance
and breed.
The dogs happened to catch the eye
of an eXpressman who took them from
the pier in Jersey City where the
Muellers' steamship landed, to 357
Woolsey avenue, Astoria.
The detectives traced the express
company and driver. The driver was
able to recall the address to which he
had delivered the dogs.
After getting this the detectives
put Mueller under observation. They
built up case against him which
warranted, the police say an arrest.
Tonight at $3.50 o'clock the detec.
tives went to the house. Just as they
ran up the sidewalk Mueller made
dash to get away. Hennessy, Smith
and Hoar sprinted after him and got
him to the station house in Astoria
Later he was transferred to the
Brooklyn police headquarters and lock-
ed up.
