BONNIWELL RAPS GREASY

New and interesting moves were
made last night in the family war
which is splitting the PENNSYLVANIA
Democracy and all of them indicate
that there will be more entertainment
to come.
The Dauphin County Democratic
League celebrated the return of Vance
c. Mccormick and his caravan from a
tour of the Juniata Valley counties by
adopting strong resolutions in favor
of the nomination of Michael j. Ryan,
of Philadelphia, for Governor. The
resolutions were long as well as strong
and set forth the fact that Mr. Ryan
had always been n Democrat and that
Mr.. Mccormick had been a party
bolter. Other gentle things were said
about the Harrisburger by this organ
ization of men opposed to him in his
own county. A. w. Hartman, presi-
dent of the league. made a rip-snorting
speech In which he denounced McCor-
mick as being active in the party only
when his own ambitions were con-
cerned.
William X. Meyers. candidate for
nomination for Congress- at large, was
given an ovation when he spoke on
the campaign and was promised en-
thusiastic support. The Democratic
clubs all over the city will support
Mr. Meyers regardless of how they
feel on the gubernatorial row.
While the Mccormick caravan was
eating dinner here the Ryan aggre-
cation was holding forth at Reading
and hearing predictions that
Ryan would carry that city,
Breach although the county is a
Grows toss-up. 1t was claimed for
Daily Mccormick week ago.
Ryan assailed the men fight
ing him and Judge Bonni-
well added some additional hot shot
to what he has fired at Farmer"
Greasy. The Mccormick caravan ap-
peared tired after it's visit to Juniata
Valley towns, where its visits were
scheduled during court week so that
crowds would be found. At Reading
last night Ryan rallied against Palmer,
Greasy and Berry for their hypocrisy
in having accepted financial assistance
from Colonel Guffey and Senator ]. K.
+. Hall and now would ride into power
and place by denouncing their former
benefactors. IF / ever accepted one
dollar of the money of these men,"
said Ryan, "my tongue would drop
from my mouth before l uttered a
word against them
Judge Bonniwell at Reading last
night answered and denied the charges
of William T. Greasy.
In this connection he
cited Creasy's opinion BouniweIl
of him in 1913 in the Turns Light
form of the following On Greasy
letter:
'Catawissa, Pa, June IL, 1918.
Eugene c. Bonniwell,
Philadelphia, Pa:
MY Dear Friend Bonniwell-Your
letter arrived in my absence. In reply
will say that | would be pleased to see
you receive the appointment of judge
for the Eastern District of Pennsyl-
vania.
II am loathe to write. my recon-
mendations to the President, as they
seem not to get any further than to
Mr.. Tumulty; but, should you desire
1t, L will cheerfully write one for you.
Respectfully yours,
WILLIAM T. GREASY"
Then the judge said: "I notify you
now that unless you retract your SLAM
ders that l shall proceed to make pub
lie your financial dealings and your
record in the Legislature In such
fashion as will drive you into the OBJ
security that the people of your district
intended you should be when they re-
pudiated you for State senator"
