Democrats of the reorganization
persuasion were wearing sorrowful |
looks to-day over the resignation of
Henry FL. Wilson, of
Beaver, as I'm e d

Refuses to Western Pennsylvania.
Stand Still Wilson has been iden-
titled with the insur-
gents among the DEM
ocrats since the days of Guffey and |
was a leader for the reorganizers.
He was one of the first to get re-
warded and judging from Pittsburgh
dispatches he has refused to impair
the efficiency of his office by giving
places to hungry Democrats. A Pitts
burgh dispatch says: United States
Marshal Henry Fl. Wilson, of the
western district of Pennsylvania, is
sued statement to-day relative to his
resignation, sent to the President to |
take effect tomorrow. He declared |
that State and local leaders of the |
Democratic organization conspired to
have him removed because he insist
ed on placing the good of public SER
vice above party spoils.' Mr.. Wilson |
arraigned Democratic party leaders
for what he termed falsehood and |
misrepresentation but declared that |
he was heart and SOUL for President |
Wilson and that he would seek seat |
in Congress from the Twenty-fourth |
district, consisting of Washington,
Beaver and Lawrence counties, so he
might assist the President in carrying
out his policies. Mr.. Wilson's home is
in Beaver. Official announcement
from Washington to-day that Marshal
Wilson had resigned caused no sur
prise among his friends. They limited
that his insistence in retaining two
Republican deputies was the cause of
the break between him and Democra-
tic leaders, who wanted the jobs for
Democrats"

that the leaders will also be ignored |
in the Western Pennsylvania district,
where vacancy exists. ATTORNEY |
General McReynolds is not at all |
pleased with the Endorsements of the |
