cCormick- Morris Plan to Rip Out
the Philadelphia Committee
Is Not Favored
MORRIS SAYS HARMONY soon
DIETRICH Did Not Have His Wireless
Working and Stirs Up Dust
to Hide Troubles


Democratic city committee, elected by
the people at the primary on May 10,
and there may be objections to be
srnoothed over before Morris can get
revenge for2iiis frequent defeats at the
hands of the old organization and Me-
Cormick for what was said about him
in 1911 and 1914.
1t is pointed out by some of the
cooler heads in the inside ring of the
Democratic machine that to throw
out committee elected at the pri-
mary when Mccormick ran would
have bad effect on many people
and attract attention to the split.
State Democratic headquarters de-
clines to make any statement about
the matter.
A Nevin DIETRICH. chairman of the
Washington party State committee,
did some beautiful sidestepping yester-
day when his opinion
was asked about the
ColonePs espousal of Unhappy
Perkins in the fuss with Days For
the Pinchots. DIETRICH DIETRICH
said that the Colonel
could not make mis-
take. This is taken to mean that
DIETRICH, the State chairman, does not
stand with Pinchot, his senatorial can
didate, and shows the disruption in the
Bull Moose party very plainly. DIETRICH
is now stirring up lot of dust with
the Health Department to hide his dis
comfiture since Senator McNichol said
he should go to Pittsburgh to be told
how to think and since he got in bad
by lining up with Pinchot without a
tip as to how the Colonel would stand.

the executive committees routine busi-

called for that purpose, however, nor
for the transaction of general busi-

disruption to their sources you will find

publicans who want to Sc the Demo-
