nc Gang,s Knife for Brumbaugh

THE Dave Lane variety of harmony car
L ries side line. Atlantic City thinks 1t
is a knife for Governor Brumbaugh
While the five knights of the round table
conferred at their shore hotel squires and
henchmcn of varying degrees were said to
be gathered in the nelghborhood listening
to orders and evolving plans for the destruc-
tion Of Governor Brumbaugh's personal ma
chine.
The only purpose mentioned so far Is to
put spoke in his chances for the Repub-
lican nomination in 1916 But 1t is a safe
bet that the rock bottom purpose as well as
the rock bottom reason, lies nearer home.
The gang was ready to use the Governors
good reputation in the election to ride into
office on his shoulders wherever the chance
have been disappointing, to say the least
The Governor has put through some men
and some measures that irlk the old-line
crowd. Any halfway decent program of
reform was bound to do so. The rub Of It
is that Governor Brumbaughs work in many
directions has gone a good deal farther than
half way and that the attention Of the coun-
try is beginning to centre on Pennsylvania.
Llmelight is bad for the business of the |
State gang. Power for Governor like
Brumbaugh is worse. Hence the knife.

GEoKdE' H. bARLE JR was hard work be-
fore the harmonizing Nestor of the Organ
ization.
Soon the others came-Penrose, McNichol,
Clay, Wolf seger, Scott Devlin, Martin
and Reyburn who had permitted the use of
his house for this historic conference was
there. Historic, because they were about to
elect Rudolph Blankenburg Mayor of Pha-
delphia, as events proved. But, even If they
had known the outcome, two of the con-
ferees would probably not have acted diff
ferently; Penrose and McNichol. Blanlxen-
burg was not their supreme enemy at that
moment That enemy was the emblazoned
Ware, who was threatening to wipe Penrose
and McNichol off the map of this State.
Who should be Mayor mattered little in
comparison with that issue. 1t was war
to the club, and Reyburn held the club.
Clay held 1t, too, as Director of Public
Safety, Would Reyburn hand over the
police club to beat down the Wares and
wreck the first real primary Philadelphia was
to enjoy? No. he said, he would not.
Anything to Beat Ware
"Then let Clay run for Mayor" said Nc
Nichol, finally, and the worried Penrose
nodded.
Anything to beat Varel And surely Clay
could do it, holding the club Then let
Blankenburg swamp him; the prestige OF
the Penrose machine would be preserved
But Reyburh chung to the Vares and the
fight was on.
Incidentally after the meeting, when the
reporters, who had been held back at the
doors by policemen so they would not dis
turb the leaders. were allowed TO see the
Mayor he remarked that several COM
promise candidates had been mentioned
among them George H. Earle, Jr. That was
the first hint the public had that the
banker might be a candidate Possibly n
was the first hint he had himself The
