I George w. Coles chairman of the
Town Meeting party, declared ut
Philadelphia that he had been "in-
advertently quoted" when he said
several days ago that the Town
Meeting party had passed out of ex-
| istence.
The Evening Ledger says: since
Mr.. Coles. in his statement pointed
out that the work of the Town Meet
ing party had been accomplished
through the nomination of Con-
gressman Moore for mayor Town
Meeting workers have been insist
ing that they. at any rate were alive
and demanding continued recogni-
tion as independent leaders"
The Moore letter in the Phila-
delphia Evening Ledger. contains
this remark about something that
has puzzled people here: Funny
how the Hendricks got mixed UP
in the campaign. The Wares were
banking heavily on E'reeland Ken
drick, the receiver of taxes. who had
heen spoken of as candidate for
Eraa1nnd KapdrioIr Il. -
