fighters. The boys organized during the last
wet and dry fight in Clark county.

DR.. Abraham Korn. president Of the

said yesterday the action OF the city
Economy League in indorsing Chairman
Mccall for Mayor and others for the
other places on the Board OF Estimate
had little Significance. because the or
ganization had gone to pieces.
II am a vice-president and member of

got no notice OF the meeting held for
the Endorsement OF candidates. / doubt
whether ten men out OF some seventy
five members of the executive committee
were present. What was done was done
In star chamber proceeding.
1.-The league is failure. Ii started out
along right lines as a useful organization,
but the captain steered {. on the rocks
and 1t foundered. II is ridiculous to talk
about the 5000 signersto the declaration
of principles. They never had a meeting
of the signers and don't know whether
the names are all genuine or not"

There were all sorts Of rumpus in
Democratic circles yesterday over the
stories that the soft pedal was 10 be
put on Tammany Hall, and that in carry
ing out that policy there would be no no-

there whenever he was asked.
Representatives OF Tammany said the
old custom of holding notification meet
ings had been abandoned since the new
primary law went into effect but there
would be a ratification meeting in Tam
many Hall "the latter part OF the month"
They neglected to say why Tammany felt

PIN A ROSE ON PAPA, NOW
Fathers Day" Proposed in
Congress Resolution.
from Tho Tribune Bureau.

Washington. oct. THE neglected faith
ers OF the nation found a champion to-
day In Representative ''Hampie" Moore,
OF Pennsylvania. who introduced resolu-
ton asking Congress 10 designate the
first Sunday in June of each year as
Fathers Day" Mr.. Moore is the father
OF eight children.
Inasmuch as the rose is worn as a
symbol of the observance OF Mothers
Day. the Philadelphia defender OF poor
old dad proposes that the rose shall be
worn by those who would pay tribute TO
the fathers OF the land. The rose worn
for father may be of any color.
Until Mr.. Moore stepped forward to-day
father appeared to have been somewhat
forgotten. and 1t Is this discrimination
which the Pennsylvanian would officially
correct Mr.. Moore says his resolution
was introduced at the request of Char
lotte X. Kirkbride and h. Carrie Stern
berg, OF Pennsylvania, who have obtained
a charter under the laws OF Delaware for
Fathers Day Society.
