lett for accepting nominations on the

Ha2lctt were renominated in the Re-

Town Meeting Fight Recalled
Alliance leaders said that the action
of Knight and Hazlett was inconsistent
with the Ware policy in the Town Meet
ing fifty fifty campaign of two years
ago. At that time the Town Meeting !
leaders wanted District Attorney Rotan ,
to run fer denomination on the Town |
Meeting tickets as we'll as on the Re
publican ticket. BY an agreement de-
manded by the Ware leaders. said AL
lance men. Mr.. Rotan declined to al
low his name TO 90 on the Town Meet
ing ticket. Mr.. Rotan ran on the Re
publican ticket only and to that is
credited the success of the fifty fifty !
ticket against the Town Meeting ticket.
Alliance leaders asked today why Ware
candidates should be desirOus of helping |
third party when, two years ago. |
they would not permit n Republican |
nominee to go on the new Town Meet
in gticket.
Ticket Has Ware Complexion
Further criticism came from John G. |
Winston. chairman of the committee of
seventy. and from those who declared |
that the Charter party ticket had Ware
complexion.
1T is very strange said Mr.. Win
ston. that Mr.. MacLaughlin should
suddenly display such an interest in
the charter when the administration of
which he is a part persistently opposed
it."
One of the charges of Nareism was
based on the fact that David G.
Frankenfeld has been placed on the
Charter party ticket for the new Coun
Gil from the West Philadelphia district.
Frankenfeld was on the Ware "slate"
in the Republican primaries. Mr.. Cor
man said this morning that Franken
field was an absolute MacLaughlin
man
Handled Ware Patronage
"Up to the time that Director Mac
Laughlin split with the Wares, by rea
son Of his refusal TO go along on con-
tracts" said German, 'it is true that
Frankenficld handled the Ware patron
age in the Forty fourth ward. That
was because he was a MacLaughlin
man. After the split, however, Ware
patronage was taken out of the hands
of Frsnkenfield and Councilman Kelly
became the Ware leader of the ward.
If Frankenfield was q Ware man, out
and out would the Nure leadership have
deprived him of the PATRONAGE"
Gossip in political circles was to the
effect that Charles b. Hall, chief clerk
of Select Council and chief lieutenant
of the late Charles Seger, would take
the latter's place on the Republican
ballot as a candidate for the new Coun-
ell from the Second district. The
nomination to fill the vacancy on the
ticket will be made by the city com
mitteemen of the district The Wares
have control Of the city committee and
it is expected that they will dominate
the selection of Segers successor.
