By GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

The selections for his executive COM
mittee made by Byron Mauzy, candidate
for republican nomination for mayor,
should serve as ample refutation of the
charge that Mauzy knows nothing of
politics.
Mauzy is not politician in the ac-
oepted sense. but the manner in which
he has gone about picking committee
10 take charge of his fight for the re-
publican nomination ana the mayoralty
leaves no room TO doubt that he has
something more than an academic ap-
probation OF politics as an applied sci
ence.

his executive committee as yet. He
viii recommend more later. He has
others IN mind. Their drafting for the

CANDIDATES CIRCULATE PETITIONS
The candidates indorsed by the mu-
nicipal league OF independent repub-
ncan clubs met yesterday afternoon
and completed their arrangements for
circulating their petitions. The verif-
cation deputies were chosen. They will
qualify and start on their canvass of
the city on Tuesday morning.
The attempt to deliver the repubIi-
can county committee to William
Croker. Tim Sullivan.s candidate for
mayor, when the party governing body
meets next Wednesday night, will prob
ably result in showdown which will
prove or disprove Sullivan's mastery
OF the committee If nothing more.
If the attempt is successful it will
do more than advantage Crocker by
insuring Sullivans ability to dub his
man regular" It will go a long way
toward making Sullivan dictator of the
local party machinery for two years,
and raising him to the dignity of a
genuine machine manipulation.
Sullivan has not been anxious for a
show Of hands, and Crocker has been
doing some double ending on his own
account, which would indicate that he
is not deeply impressed with the ability
OF his manager and discoverer to
make good"
Sullivan made a quick flop nearly a
year ago, and with Is of the SO mem
berE of the county committee assumed
to oust +. H Dam from the Chairman
ship. The Herrin machine state CEN
lrai committee promptly recognized
Sullivan's man, Buck" Worthington.
as chairman, and il was officially de-
creed that Is was a quorum and ap
parently a majority.
The courts refused TO go behind the
decision OF the state central commit
tee and Sullivan was left in possess
sion of the works to the end that the
machine delegate tickets were labeled
regular" and the city was won for the
machine by a hair line margin.
That flop could never have been any
thing more than individual gymnastics
on the part OF Sullivan and a few of
his personal following, If IL had not
been for the bullheadedness of some
of the men who assumed to boss the
snti-machine movement and who liter
eIly drove from them some members
of the county committee who wanted
to help fight the achine
CROCI<ER PUT IN FIELD
In any event the trick was turned,
and after the election there was no
stir in the county committee for several
months During the lull Sullivan
brought Crocker out as candidate for
mayor. Sullivan's candidate was the
regular" candidate according to an
souncenent
