Three hundred Republicans Of West

men, met at a "get-together" luncheon
at the Hotel Gramatan, in Bronxville,
yesterday. Not until the luncheon had
ended, however, was II known that
William L. Ward, Republican leader of
the county, was to speak.
There was no mincing Of words by
Mr.. Ward nor did he stop at innuendos
I'm hurting his shafts at the Progressive
party.
Il hate a gutter and an migrate" he
declared. And a gutter and an in
CRATE is the Republican who has gone
back on his party"
This declaration stirred the audience
more than anything else that was said
at the meeting. When the applause
had quieted down, Mr.. Ward continued
God only knows what will happen unless
the voters do their duty. IL the Bull
Moose ticket Is permitted to win this
year there will be a representative OF that
party running for every office In West
chester County next year. And what VIII
tndt intdnG 1T Will mean lUdl
Hall will get control. Westchestcr County
has stood between Tammany and Albany
for the last fifteen years.
You all know about that police trial
In New York. Under good government
the men OF this county have gone to
sleep. But they must wake up, or we
may have repetition of that case.
Republicans who do not vote their
own ticket will regret it as long as
they live. declared the speaker. who
added:
Three thousand votes in this county
can be changed in the next ten days, If
you men present will do your duty. The
lack of workers is the only thing that
makes II necessary 10 use money 10 set
speakers TO work in this county. We
would need no money II each one OF you
men would do your best to change the
minds OF many voters who need only to
be talked to a little more.
Mr.. Ward raped Woodrow Wilson,
saying he had never seen a college
professor amount To anything as a
business man.
