The Philadelphia Democratic city
committee yesterday emphasized the
lack of harmony and the spirit of dis
sension in the party following the re
organization" by adopting resolutions
endorsing President Wilson for re-
nomination and congratulating itself
on being the original advocate of his
selection.
The city committee was in the field
oetore the bosses of the reorganization
cult made up their minds about Wilson
and has never ceased to call attention
to the fact. Yesterday formal reso-
lutions were adopted boosting the
President and stating that the commit
tee prided itself on being the first off,
claI political body in the United States
to present the name of Woodrow Will
son for the presidency"
Ihis action was a covert jab at the
reorganization gangsters who have
farmed their aid for the Wilson boom
and secured most of the plums.
