McCarren, resulting in the rsoapture
Of all the county offices with the exception
OF the Borough Presidency from the
Republicans at the polls in November,
was disturbed in the squabble over the
disposal OF the patronage.
John Il. McCooey who etlccAeded Soma
tor McCarren as the party leader. and all
his fellow executive committeeman have
