M'KEAV DEMOCRAT
SLASHES THE BOSSES
Bitter Attack Made by Smethport
Editor on the Democratic
Machine

Democrats throughout the State
were amazed on Saturday at an editor
ial broadside fired at Vance G.. Nc
Cormick. and his associates in the
Democratic State machine by the Nc
Kean County Democrat, of Smethport.
Mexican county was one of the first
counties to line up for the reorgani-
zation cause and the editor of the
paper, S. r. Lindsey, has been one Of
the standard bearers. Evidently the
Smethport man has joined the rapidly
growing faction of the Democracy
that wants another change.
The Democrat, which is looked up to
by many members Of the party along
the Northern tier, says:
Vance Mccormick, of Harrisburg,
who has assumed the role of Demo-
cratic boss of Pennsylvania, and a
most intolerant one at that, as he has
done little else during the past three
lyears aside from that of trying to
read out of the Democratic party bet
ter Democrats than he (McCormick)
ever thought of being, simply because
they positively refused to bow to this
insolent boss, who at best is only a
thorn in the side of the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania, will certainly
not assist in the proposed get together
movement of the Democratic factions
of this State.
"It has been charged, and we have
never heard the charge successfully
contradicted, that Mccormick has
been entrusted with the o. K. seal
for all Pennsylvania Federal appoint
ments, and it is a notable fact that
thus far only one faction Of the party
has received recognition in the parcel
ing out of the Offices and that faction
the one that bolted Hon. Webster
Grim in 1910.
"To bring the matter down locally
the Federal appointments, what few
have already been made in this coun-
lty. and the promises made for fu-
ture appointments in Mexican county
all go to show that nearly If not quite
one-half of the Democratic party is to
be totally ignored by the office brok-
ers now in control of the Democratic
organization in this State. Democrats
who stood just as Loyalty for the elec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson as any of the
reorganization bunch, seemingly, are
to be showed into the rear while the
,reorganizers are allowed to carry off
all the offices.
"This high handed way of doing
business does not squint very strong
ily toward a getting together of the
party for this years important cleo
ton. 1t has more of the appearance
of an effort on the part of the State
organization to punish those Demo-
Gratis who voted for Hon. Webster
Grim in 1910 in preference to that
lpolitical renegade. William III. Berry,

A Bows Visit to Washington.

General and Mrs. Washington. The
boy had heard so much Of the great
general that he was afraid to meet
him. and he hoped that something
would happen to prevent the visit
But it didn't. and the only consolation
the youngster had was the possession
of new suit with brass buttons for
the occasion. While driving there in n
coach the lads mother remarked. This
Is the generals birthday. and | want
you to say something pretty to him."
The boy looked alarmed. so his moth
er hastily added. You might say that
you hope the good Lord will spare him
to our people many years to come"
He repeated this speech all the way
there Washington was standing near
the fireplace in the library, his hands
behind his back, when they first saw
him that day. The boy was attracted
to his penetrating eyes, and he after
ward remembered he was not as Sc
we're looking us his portraits. Mrs.
Washington was knitting at the win
dow, and the boy liked her kind face
After the greetings We're over the gen.
eral patted the boy on the head. and
then the boy. in confusion. stammered
his little speech thus: II hope the good
Lord will spare me to the people, A
laugh followed. and the boy ran out of

tea time by Mrs. Washington present
