DRAUGHTSMAN TO
DROP THE FIGHT
Discharged EmpIOye of City
Engineers Office Waiting
for Help.

According to the statement of friends
last night. Pat Connor, erstwhile chief
draUghtsman in the office Of City Engi-
uccr I. G.. Kelsey, who was discharged
summarlly last Tuesday, has given up
the fight against the city engineer
at least in regard TO the plan TO in
trOdUCe q resolution Monday night in
the council calling for an investlga-
ton OF the city engineers office as
result OF the dismissal
Party workers are demanding of the
leaders that something be done to
show the city engineer that he can
not thus discharge party men as prom
inent as Pat Conner, and 1t Is still
possible that the matter will come be
fore the council Monday. But friends
of Conner, believing he VIII get the
worst of an open tight with the city
engineer, are advising that the matter
be dropped and that Kelsey be
reached" through some political
means.
No end of comment has been aroused
in American party circles through the
open night being Waged by Kelsey
against mis- old-time enemy, Il. q. Nc
MILAN, chairman of the board Of pub
lie works. who is making hot can
yass for the mayoralty candidacy kel-
sey declares he Will not support Nc
MILAN even If he IS the choice of the
American party convention and in fact,
viii light him to the end. The two
have hardly been what could be called
warm friends" for several years, but
the bitter feeling has grown during
the last year. when the two have come
together in regard to public improve
mentS.
There is a feeling in the city engi-
neer's office against Mcmillan, and
most of the men in the office will fol-
low their chief in his fight against Nc
MILAN. Tt is declared by some that
they viii knife Mcmillan royalty if he
is nominated and will swing votes TO
other candidates to show that their
strength is not TO be despised.
Will Fight Mcmillan.
If this action is taken, employees Of
the city engineers office will certainly
align their forces for the candidate for
mayor on the opposing ticket in an
effort to defeat Mcmillan. and will
trade votes for other men on the Amer
lean ticket in an effort to make their
punishment dOubly severe.
Bitter feeling has been brewing
among several factions in the party
which is smoldering and is likely to
break almost at any time. It is GER
tain that it viii not last until the con-
VentlOn. nor even until the primaries.
The city committee has already started
