To MELT 4DALS"
Will Try to Get Back on Band
Wagon" at County Commit

WILLING TO MIX WITH

Beans" Should He Mention
BLANK designations"

Fohuelans, particularly those of the
Republican persuasion, and many who
are not of that faith, are agog today
over what may transpire at the meet
ing of the Republican County Com
+, mittee. which will be held tonight for
the election of a chairman and other
offices. and to launch plans for the
fall campaign. That Mayor Raymond
will try to get back on the band
/ wagon that he assailed so viciously
less than a week ago by shouting
harmony is a certainty He has
announced that he will attend the
meeting and make harmony"
speech.
Harry E. O'Connell Will do the
same thing, and maybe some of
the others will kick in" but just how
the regulars" will take this action of
the Raymondites is probematical.
/ The latter haven't sent any invita-
tions to the Raymondites, ii Is said,
and they haven't killed any fatted calf
for the feast, but as they want every
vote they can get on election day, they
will, no doubt. let the one-time Anti
Dals IN, though, as one of the organ
| ization men said today, I'VE will keep
an eye on them"
The opening chorus of Harmony
/ will be sung tonight by the Anti
| Dals' in several keys. Having thus
attested to their repentance, they will
ask to be solannly admitted into tho
| conclaves of the Republican County
! Committee, and reorganization will
proceed right merrily. Their press
agents have been set at work to pre-
i pare the minds of the populace for
the big time" act, and the only thing
missing is the red-tre This may be
passed by, on account of the damp
weather
Harry g. O'Connell, who started on
| the warpath for County Chairman
| Herbert w Taylors scalp, said he
1 was going TO talk harmony, and E.
| Erie Moody, secretary to Mayor Ray
mond. said his chief will attend the
meeting.
Are you going TO be candidate
| for the chairmanship of the county
committee tonight" was asked Of
| Mr.. O'Connell today.
II suppose someone will present my
| name said Mr. O'Connell, but
as the selection of Herbert Taylor is
/ a foregone conclusion. | don't see
any use of our making a fight
II expect that before the election
takes place. however" said Mr.
OGOfinell, LnaI MI ldylo Will NC
selected by q unanimous vote.
"Our fight ended with the close Of
the election on Tuesday" continued
Mr.. O'Connell. "and from now until
election day you can rest assured
that we will be on the firing line Civ
| ing every assistance possible to aid
In the election of the entire Republi-
can ticket from top to bottom, and
think that the ticket is going to win,
too"
Fight Ended, Says o'Connell.
aNow that our little fight in our
own ranks is ended, we are for har-
mony, and in making that statement
| / think that / voice the sentiments
of practically every man who was as
| ISOLATED with Mayor Raymond in his
| fight.
I For myself, l have always been a
good organization man, and / am a
! good organization man today My
hight was not against the organiza-
| ton, but against the crude METHODS
| that we're adopted by the so-called
| leaders"
Mr.. O'Connell, when asked il he
| would make a harmony speech at the
meeting tonight, said that he pos
sibly would, but that his course in
that matter would be determined by
the events which took place at the
gathering.
Thomas Goldingay, who was chair
man of the campaign committee of
the Anti-Dals voiced the same sem
timents as Mr.. O'Connell and stated
that so far as he knew everyone of
the Anti-Dals would support the
ticket and give whatever aid was
possible in electing the men who had
been named at the primary.
1t is said that Mayor Raymond
will take the stump for the party i'll
the campaign. When this was an
nounced it was asked by many IL he
will forget the maledictions he lately
bestowed with great liberality upon
the Slaves of Dal," or will be be-
come confused between the pre-pri-
mary and ante-primary campaigns
and interlope some of his pre-primary
slogans into his ante-primary
speeches? They are also wondering
should Raymond meet Freeholder
Richard Il. Malta on the platform
would Mr.. Malta ask about blank
designations, higher tax rates, the
passing of a short and ugly word,
