orable to him offered q platform for
direct primaries. 1t was rejected by
the Lee delegates.
In the conv antion that was held last
fall Norris himself took the floor and
offered a resolution for set of rules.
providing for direct primaries. The
resolution was beaten by the dele
gates favorable to Goodwin for COVER
nor.
Being q delegate to the state con-
Vention Morris offered a plank to the
platform of his party, pledging it TO
direct primaries. His plank was beat
en- in committee. He fought the mat
ter on the floor, and SO successfully
that the direct primary plank, instead
of being defeated outright was tabled
with the understa nding that it will be
in order when the next Republican
state convention is held
For the present Morris is the great
est obstacle in the way of the new
machine. They cannot nominate al
man favorable to them unless they
are successful in sidetracking and
muzzling the advocate Of direct pri-
maries within the party.
Morris, on the other hand, asserts
that he will never abandon the direct
primaries plan until il is adopted, and
the power Of the Republican party is
absolutely in the hands of the voters. /
The Morris men assert that the Re- I,
poration. All power is primarily Civ
en- to SO men, three from each dis
trict. The number Is so small as 20 !
permit the will Of the rank and file
Of the voters to be easily thwarted, !
as it Is only necessary to obtain the
ear Of a small number of delegates,
by promises, or other means, to ac-
complish almost any reversal of the,
popular will.
The Morris leaders are freely point
ing to the last Republican convention .
as showing the bad results that grow
out of the Republican system of MAX
ing nominations. Unquestionablyk the
voters in the primaries elected dele
gates a majority Of whom were fav-
orable to Lake. Unquestionably
enough delegates were induced to
change their minds to cause the Re
publican vote Of Bridgeport to be
cast for Goodwin, in the state conyen-
ton.
In the meantime the new Republi-
can leaders are using every means to
induce Morris to come into the fold,
to abandon his fight for direct pri-
maries, and to leave the friends who
fought by his side to give him the
mayoral nomination in 1909. The
general opinion seems to be that the
harbor master will be found in tlsr
running when the delegates
counted.

LOCAL GOODWIN MACHINE

QUIT DIRECT PR|MARIEs
Hab Master Reported to Have Said Sooner Shall Yon Rock
Fly From Its Firm Base Than Turn 0uitteT"

Thus early, the new Republican n
machine, which was hastily construct
ed upon the political bodies Of the
"OId Guard is faced with difficulties
which threaten to terminate it's use
fulness.
Having received a severe beating at
tho polls in the fall election the lead
ers of the new organization recognize
clearly the necessity of carrying the
city election.
The town is being secured with a
fine tooth comb to find e. candidate
for mayor. Men who might, in other
days, have been glad to take the
nomination now show reluctance, be-
l1ev1ng that the new leaders do not
enjoy the confidence Of Republicans,
and that this lack Of confidence will
be shown at the polls.
Moreover there is grave doubt if
the new leaders can carry the party
primaries Their first and pressing
need is to dispose Of the vigorous
boom which exists for Harbor Master
Charles H. Morris. If he should yield
to the demand made upon him to
again seek the mayoral nominal bn
of his party, his friends believe he
would sweep the primaries.
Norris, say his followers is not a
mushroom in politics. His leadership
Of East Side Republicanism has been
thoroughly established. Neither is he
looked upon by Republicans as a mere
politician, and his hackers regard him
as a man Of courage and advanced
ideas.
Two years ago Morris was the can
didate of a powerful group in the Re-
publican party against Mayor Lee
Despite the control of the Republican
machine by the administration forces,
Morris had nine delegates in the con-
vention.
He proved very strong in the vote,
lacking only a few ballots Of the
number received by the administra-
ton forces.
The harbor masters strength was
then due, and is still due to the pro-
gress1ve element. those who regard
such men as Roosevelt, LaFoIlette,
Bristow and Cummins as the natural
leaders of the Republican party. They
declare themselves the Republicans
who are opposed to the further domf-
nation Of the Republican party by
corporation lawyers and special In
terests.
Aside from his non-partisan fight
to prevent the harbor grab Morris
chief efforts within his party have
been directed to destroy the close cor
poration that makes the party uomf-
nations and substitute nominations By
direct primaries. In the last city con-

The sheriffs and police, having made
the raids, had to wait for the arrival
Of their dray before they could leave
the various commissaries. When the
news spread through the various labor
gangs, walls of serio-comic grief arose
at the prospect of a dry Easter.
But the men offered no molestation
to the officers who occasionally look
the other way while few bottles dis
appeared from the various cases of
beer. Very little Of the stuff was
held back, however, and whatever
beverages they drank yesterday were
not intoxicating unless they made
quick arrangements for an under
ground route to some life saving sta
ton other than those visited by the
authorities
The raids of Saturday came indirect
ly from row that took place in the
store now run by Galdi, then under
different management. 1t was stated
that the keeper and a patron quar-
reling over the price OF a piece Of
cheese, engaged in a stabbing affray.
Galdi supplanted the pugnacious man
ager but as a result of the publicity
attending the row, the places came
under the surveillance of the authori
ties, with the result that the warrants
were issued Saturday.
No less than II and in one instance
more than a score of kegs of beer
were carried away from each store.
Ten gallons of whiskey, about 30
quarts of gin and dozens of cases of
beer were carried away. Hundreds
of empty kegs and bottles were found
lying about the various stores waiting
to be reshipped.
Bail of $3.50 was required of each
prisoner. A farmer who has been en-
gagged in the railroad work furnished
the required bail. The Newtown raid
case will be heard next Saturday
morning and the three Monroe cases
next Friday. 1t is the plan Of the
men arrested to seek to avoid convic-
ton on the ground that they are mere
ly employees of the proprietor of the
chain Of stores
Owing to the difficulty of obtaining
convenient places for the storage of
the seized beer and wfliskey, it was
nearly midnight before the last con-
signment was hauled away But so
peaceable weye the men despite the
prospect of a. dry Easter that one man
was left in charge and no effort was
made to moleSt him.
