Harmony" was the piece of music
selected by the Republican County
Committee for its farewell musicale
last night. Although most of the
musicians played hard and long on
the harmony" there were one or two
who got in a discordant note or two.
and the piece was not a complete sue
cess. Leader Herbert w. Taylor led
his orchestra" for probably the last
time at regular session, as q new
chairman will be elected at the or
ganization of the new county COM
mittee on Tuesday night of next
week.
Gossip about the headquarters
after the talk concert included
the names of Robert l.. Ross, former
tax receiver, and former Assistant
Prosecutor Frederick r. Dehlbach,
who was barely beaten for the Tenth
district congressional nomination in
the primary, as candidates for the
honor Both had many friends boost
Ing them, but neither would comment
on the situation. The powerful un-
der current, however. was plainly
drifting toward Alfred N. Dalrymple
for the county chairmanship.
II was stated OH Wtdl 10 diiS
considered good authority, however,
that Dalrymple will not be a candi-
date for the chairmansSip, nor will
Mr.. Taylor or Benjam ~ Jones be
candidates.
Gsven Non -Committal.
The musicians" in last nights af-
fair We're the candidates for office who
were successful In the party prima-
ries last Tuesday, and one who was
unsuccessful The latter. who hap
pened to be Daniel +. Gaven, VINO
was defeated by Fred G. Stickel for
the surrogateship, was one or the Two
to get in stray note. w. l. Lincoln
Adams successful candidate for the
congressional honor in the Tenth dis
trict. Also got a little off tune, to tho
detrinent of the harmony program.
"Mr. chairman and members OF the
County Committee" said Mr.. Gaven,
."The candidates who have Just ad-
dressed you told YOU of their 'hard
and 'gruelling' campaign, but would
a1y one of them have the nerve that
I ha1. likewise the fun that ] had,
fighting three lawyers for six months
and keeping them from winning until
the court closed and then they were
just handed the decision?
~ want to correct the statement
in Yesterdays News that | am cam
didate by petition. That statement
was unauthorized There are no two
men in this room who more thor
oughly understand each other than
do Fred Stiekel and myself. | want
to now thank those of you who re-
NAMED loyal to ME and also thank
those of you who did not"
Then, in a laughing way, Gaven re-
marked: After a long run of nice
speeches Ii isn't to be expected that
a fellow can get down to a funeral
sermon and do the subject justice.
I'll be better prepared later on.'
Adams got a little out of tune when,
after thanking everybody for their
support, he said: MY nearest rival.
Frederick Lehlbach, promised me his
loyal support If I was successful, and
/ expect to get that support"
The tone indicated that he was
doubtful, and implied that Lehlbach
might make a fight Maybe he was
thinking his rival was going to have
the votes recounted.
Taylor Renews Pledges.
Chairman Taylor started off the
program by renewing his pledge to
support the whole ticket nominated
at the primaries. David Davies made
a motion that the committee indorse
the ticket, and the motion was car
ried undissentingly. Senator Austen
Colgate introduced little humor into
the program by referring to his
"gruelling'' campaign and making a
few remarks about the Democrats,
which nearly always raise laugh
at a Republican meeting.
The senator alluded to John A. Mat
- -. a fAt. faf IN anf IA for
as an evidence that the Democrats
didn't think their candidate in the
primary was the right one. Matthews,
he said, felt it his duty to the Demo-
cratic party to get into the race, and
everybody laughed accordingly he
appointed himself candidate for the
Senate to save the party"
Thomas L. Raymond, nominee Tor
mayor, was the centre of interest at
the meeting. He said a few words
and craved the indulgence of the
members In any delicate condition
that might arrive If the Progressives
and certain Democrats should
rally to his support. 1t was then
learned that p committee composed of
Progressives and Wilson Leaguers,
had waited upon Mr.. Raymond and
assured him OF their support.
Former Congressman r. Wayne
Parker, who was nominated in the
Ninth district, among other things
said that the time had arrived to stop
the dictation OF one-man to Con-
gress. 1.-THE too insistent meddling
with business" he also decried.
The mobilization of the forces was
reported by Edward w. Gray, con-
gressional candidate from the Eighth
district. He harped on harmony for
some time and he then told some
funny stories about Ralph Schmidt,
the shrievalty nominee. Mr..
Schmidt's name. he said, was vio-
lation of neutrality and his mus
tache, with it's imperial twists, should
be fixed up to please President Will
SON" Mr. Schmidt replied that if he
was not elected he would change his
name and shave off the whole mus
tache.
Fred Stickel thanked the members
for their support and promised to
conduct a vigorous campaign for
election with the same slogan he used
In the primary campaign, "a legal
mind for legal office"
Others who gave selections were
Lewis G. Bowden, candidate for SUI
pervisor; Arthur r. Denman and Will
lam Tries, jr., candidates for the
