MAYORS ENDORSEMENT
SEEN AS HARMONY STEP
O. K. Put on Sheehan and Ken
drick Helps Program of
"Fifty-Fifty"

Endorsement by Mayor Smith of Register
OF Wills Sheehan and Receiver Of Taxes
Kendrick for reelection is interpreted IN
political circles as move for harmony and
the first step TO carry out the Ware program
of n fifty-ifty split on the "row" offices
Whether his program will be acceptable
to the Penrose- -McNchol faction has not
been made known as yet. Irrespective of
how the row Offices are arranged. there is
certain to be bitter fight over the election
OF the Councmen.
The Mayor. in the course of his indorse-
ter was justified in pocketing the huge fees
OF his office and added tina; any other man
would do the sane thing.
The Mayor did net go into the candidacy
of Samuel =. Rotan for reelection as Dis
trict Attorney. II Is known, however that
the Mayor favors the return of Mr.. Rotan,
friend of Senator Penrose. alcng with
kondrick and Shcehan. He believes that
the Wares should receive little considera-
ton and that they. should have the nam
ing of the City Treasures,
At present th- Nare -re considering
Senator Patton. of West Philadelphia, for
that place. Considerable speculation is
gCfng on, nevertheless, to the effect that the
South Philadelphia leaders may ultimately
support Magistrate Thomas f. Watson.
Ware leader of Germantown, for City
Treasurer. Senator Ware and the Magis-
trate are very close and are holding daily
conferences. The Senator was not in the
least surprised when told OF the Mayors
