with the governor elect. Strange as 1t
may seem, there are among the leaders
those who could be induced to accept
places of honor and emolument under
Johnson. Those who want nothing in
the way of salaries for themselves have
hordes of local workers and wouldbe
workers for whom they must at least
try to make good. Upon the degree of
their success hangs their ability to
direct district thought and energy In
the chosen channels of municipal poll
ties.
WANT REGULATION CUT
If Johnson would sit down with the
official leaders of the local county
committee and make a conventional
cut of the good things, some OF the
leaders would be happy. Such course
would enable them to furnish Vaiid
explana tion for their failure TO pull out
four or FIVE times their share OF the
places. The most optimistic do not
look for that The hammer has been
flung so industriously that every CLIQUE
and faction fears that it has been done
up. And worse than that is the gen.
eral fear that Johnson will sit down
with no faction, clique or organization,
but will choose as he pleases. acting
on information that he may pick up in
his own way. And blacklist of all the
fears is that the governor elect will
get no small portion of his information
through the personal organization that
he maintained througout both the pri-
mary and general campaigns. This
fear has been aggravated by Johnson's
repeated declaration that the good OF
the public service would he his first
consideration in the selection of men.
The best any one has got from Johnson
is the assurance that after the gov
ernor elect returns fro mthe east he
will be glad ito talk matters over with
you" A lot of leaders are running
keep up their courage.
No SENSATION
The dinner party of selected county
committeeman summoned by Chairman
Fred G. Sanborn last night did not re-
suit in any of the spectacular develop
ment feared or hoped for by the rs
committeeman not hidden to the feast
and conference Sanborn was not
launched upon the mayoralty sea nor
was Johnson's patronage apportioned
among the few. The after dinner dis
cussion, which was prolonged until
nearly midnight, was devoted generally
part the republican county committee
should play in the new scheme of nom
partisan municipal politics. Marshall
Hale was the only guest not a member
of the committee. Daniel A. Ryan, vice
chairman OF the state central commit
tee. was present long enough to make
his excuses. The members of the din
ner party were Chairman F. G. San
born, Vice Chairman A. G. Boggs,
Chairman, of the Organization Commit
tee Ralph l. Hathorn, Secretary Philip
Bancroft Assistant Secretary Charles
II. Forbes, T. r. Sullivan, Byron Mauzy,
f. C. Dahl. Alfred Greenebaum, Thomas
J. Nowlin. a. d. Fretz. Wallace c. Wise,
Charles s Wheeler and Marshall Hale.
At first the sentiment was in favor
of proceeding along nonpartisan lines
for the next municipal campaign, but
later all agreed that the party organ.
ization should be retained and a deter
mined effort be made to bring about
the election of a strong republican.
Every one present made talk favor
ing this plan.
In order to secure the fullest CO.
operation it was decided to have an
other dinner Monday, December 10, to.
which will be invited all the members
of the county central committee, the
local members of the state central COM
mittee and leading republicans who are
to be invited by members of the COM
mittee,
