SAYS CONFIDENCE
WAS VIOLATED
Charges Alderman Congleton
Barred Private Conferences
in Council Fight.

Charging that Alderman Jerome T.
Congleton had violated confidence in
making public private conferences
which had been held in the fight for
the presidency of the Common
Council, Chairman Alfred N. Dali
rymple, Of the Republican County
Committee. had something to- say to-
day regarding the turning own of
Congleton and his New Idea co~nfreres
In the nght made to make Congleton
president of the Common Council.
AT the caucus held last night, after
9 merry row, and after Alderman.
Congleton had refused to accept the
floor leadership and had delivered him.
self of a hot speech. it was settled that
Alderman Pennington is TO succeed
himself as president of the Common
Council, and Alderman William x.
sSecker, of the Sixteenth ward, is to be
city Home trustee,
Alderman Congleton. served notice
that while he would abide by the Z D
suit of the caucus, he would not "a

regarding any distribution of Jobs nov
held by Democrats to Republican
offlce-seekers in event Of the civil cry
ice decision being handed down upset
ting the law which now holds several
hundred clerks safely in office.
Chairman Dalrymple today made this
statement:
About seven weeks ago Alderman
Congleton came to my Office and in
formed me that he was going to at
tend a caucus of the party when it
would be held. and that he would abide
by it's decision. ! told him that I was
pleased to heal 1t and promised him
] would keep my hands off the presi-
dency fight. He came into the Office
again Saturday and said he had
learned that at the meeting of Friday
night, referring to the caucus of the
Republican members of the Common
Council, some of the aldermen were
not going to vote for. him for president
Of the Common Council, and he said:
what, in your opinion, is the cause
of those men going back on me?'
Under the impression that our meet
ing was confidential / told him hat I
had learned that a number of they ward
committees had been dissatisfied with
the manner in which Director Oughel-
tree had made up committees in the
Board OF Freeholders, but that I did
not have anything at all to do with
any of the actions of the ward COM
mittees: that I had kept my hands off
the fight between he and Pennington,
as I had promised him at our first
meeting. Then he referred to his work

in the campaign, making speeches, and
of his work for the party in general.
1 said that that was only his duty.
l said that in his speeches he had not
the election of the Republic
can candidate for sheriff or the As
sembly candidates. All of this I con-
sidered strictly confidential. and I am
rather surprised to see in the STAR
today the story of our meeting on Sat-
urday."
Director Wallace Ougheltree said he
was surprised at the alleged statement
made by Chairman Dalrympie to Alder
man Congleton Saturday regarding the
makeup of the committees of h Board
of Freeholders.
IT wan to deny in a very emphatic
manner" he said, that the majority
of the members were New Idea men,
as anyone who reads the names OF
those committees can readily see that
the majority of them are Regulars.
Take, for instance, the finance commit
tee. Three are Regulars and two are
New Idea; the County Hospital COM
mittee is made up of four Regulars and
two New Idea men, the county prison
committee of five Regulars and one
Democrat. On the public buildings
committee four of the six men are Reg
ulars; the road committee is the same,
as is the stationery, and on the free
bridges there are five Regulars out OF
six members.
81 also want to say that at the eau
Gus before I was chosen as the ,candi-
date for director I openly announced
myself as a Regular, but q that IN
making up the committees I would only
consider the men best qualified fol
them, and I made nc promises as to tn
chairmanships." -
In response to a call issued by Emf
Wohlfarth, of the Third ward, sth'
.rineteens HepubiieaH members an
members-elect of the. Common Council
of 1910 gathered at the Republican In
dian League rooms, in Washington
street. last night. Thirteen Regular
voted as a unit for President, William
Pennington to succeed himself, six New
Ideaites voting for Congleton.
After the meeting Alderman Congle
ton issued q broadside, which ha!
caused no end of talk among Repub-
leans. Following the caucus there wa.
some talk of the New Ideaites boiling
and making Alderman William II
Seeker, Of the Sixteenth ward, cit,
home trustee, to succeed himself. 1t Il
understood that Alderman Charles w
Baum, New Ideaite, Of the Ninth ward
som time ago had a talk with Louis
C. vossmeyer, of the Tenth ward. AM
it was thereafter understood that Voss
meyer and his ward associate, Louis
Pfeifer, were for Congleton for tn
presidency and that yossmeyer would
be the City Home trustee to succeed
Seeker.
At the caucus last night Alderman
Congleton was particular to state whel
he made a motion to make the election
of Alderman Pennington .unanimoui
that the Regulars need not expect an,
support from the New Ideaites, onlysst
far as it covered the election of Officers
next month. AS a result of all Thu
there is CONSERVATION in the ranks O
the party.
When Alderman Congleton wa!
named for floor leader he caused a sen
sation by declining in the following
speech:
Il must absolutely decline the leader
ship. That is final. I do not do this
