tic Supporters of Bransford

That the repeated statements OF tho
opposition that there Is dissension in the
American purity are false was amply
proved yesterday morning when two OF
the men who were most active In the
American party convention against
Mayor Bransrords nomination accepted
places on the advisory committee OF the
American party organization. These two
men wcrc Judge \. J, Weber and Allen
4. Sanford. In The convention Judge
Weber and Mr. Sanford led the night on
the floor against the Branstord forces,
They put up Il sturdy battle. but they
were beaten.
Tire opposition would have it appear
that the failurc of the anti Bvansford
forces To succeed nmbitIcred them TO such
a degree that they would carry their hos
tility throughout the campaign. Tho
strongest rcfutation OF such misreprc-
Scntaton is found in the fact that both
MIR. Sanford and Judge Weber are again
in the harness for the success Of the
whole American ticket.
