Independent factions of both Re-
publicans and Democrats are before
the public today with new declara-
tions of war against the regular or
ganizations of their respective par
ties. The Wilson Democrats, who il
was thought might line up with th,,
regulars in a harmony pact for the
election this fall, are, according to
the statement of John j. Diefenthaler,
deputy collector of internal revenue,
going to have some candidates of
their own. although they may not
have complete ticket On the Re-
publican side some citizens of the
Ninth ward, at a meeting last night
announced allegiance to Mayor
Thomas l.. Raymond, declared war
against the regular Republicans, and
displayed open hostility to the al
leged boss" rule of County Counsel
Alfred N. Dalrymple.
Candidates bearing the Endorsement

De given to the public within a few
days, while a complete ticket bearing
the standard of the Raymondites Is
looked for tomorrow. The final
touches to the latter may be made to-
night at the meeting of the Sixteenth
Ward Republican Club, over which
Harry Is. O'Connell, the Raymondite
candidate for chairman of the Repub-
ncan County Committee, presides.
The Raymond-Sc Schmidt Republican
Club, of which Police Commissioner
Frederick Breidenbach is president
and which has refused to be thrown
over by the regulars who wanted to
change the name to the Ralph b.

last night as per schedule. The
reason for this, they said, was be-
cause of the special meeting last
week They will not meet now until

The plans of the Wilson League for
the approaching city and county cleo
tions were outlined at the meeting of
the executive committee of the league
which was held last night in the
Union building.
John V. Diefenthaler insisted that
ticket would be placed in the field for
the primaries, but limited that it was
probable that the names submitted by
the league would not comprise com

1t was voted that Chairman John L.
Armitage be empowered to designate
a committee of three which will in
turn select the names of candidates
for tentative slate. This list of
names will then be submitted to the
executive committee and. if approved
by the latter body. will be announced
to the general committee for final
action.

nominating committee will not be
made known before tomorrow. As to
the names of the proba BILE candidates
who will be selected to make the con-
test In the primaries 'it has been
agreed" said Mr.. Diefenthaler, that

newspapers or made public in any
way until the report of the nomnat-
ing committee is submitted to the
