ceiver of Taxes. Ware men are slated
for the Offices of Sheriff. Recorder of
Deeds and to be one OF the County Com
missioners. These three offices are all
gains in the Ware patronage.
The Penrose- -McNichol faction will have
a checkTein on the Wares in a patronage
way, however, through Smith. Smith is
a McNichol ward leader. and even In the
Ware camp there are few who believe
he has renounced any of his old allegi-
ance. He was at one time in Penrose's $
law office. and was started in the bond
ing business by Penrose.

of much of the City Hall patronage. and
because of this power, Organization lead
ers today are predicting that no Ware
dynasty will be set up during the next
four years should Smith be elected.

Organization men today. They are, of
course. not reckoning with the strength

cratic Administration and legislation"
