ganization candidate for Mayor. and on
the Patterson lawyers committee is
made in a statement issued today by
Murdoch Kcndrick. chairman of the
Moore Republican campaign committee.
Speaking Of Judge Patterson, Mr..
Kendrick said:
He does not yet grasp the fact that
the candidates of the party are only
selected at the primaries. that he is
only a candidate of the Ware interests,
business, professional and personal. and
that he has but sold himself and the
high Office to which he was elected by
the people of Philadelphia and appointed
by tho influence Of his real friends. to
save the crumbTing Ware machine. -
mfr. Patterson does not seem to real
zc that the Ware system not only has
put in Office and endeavorcd in the past.
not always successfully. to elevate to
Office men Of ruined regulations"

cial advisers;

more especially those connected with
public contracts. would be the following
well known leaders who have two
homes. one from which they vote and
the others in which they live outside
the county:
Senator Ware. Senator Martin. Will
liam +. Rorke, John Il. X. Scott, Harry
&C.. Ransley, Thomas 3. Smith and
Samuel Salus, who is very fortunate
in having two homes in the same

Fees First" Lawyers Thought
Hendricks attack on the Patterson
committee Of lawyers was:
"Thc committee of lawyers organized
from among more than 5000 members
of the bar, who have gladly availed
themselves of the opportunity to appear
in the limelight, are not worthy of any
individual description but a general
classification could readily be made.
After looking over the list there
is no doubt that the first question which
| would occur to their minds would be" the
question of fees-frst their own fees
and second any fees that any other law
yer might have gotten.
''It is worthy of note, however that
if the men who compose the. lawyers
committee represent the best lawyers
the judge. could get to support him and
the Wares, it is to be assumed that he
would consult his lawyers committee to
select the legal advisers Of his admin
istration.
THE men who know the judge and
at the thought that a Shern, Phillips.
! or I.adner would have q voice in the
selection of city solicitor whose duties
not only would be to advise the Mayor
on legal questions, but to protect the
city treasury from the assaults made by
the representatives of crooked contrac-
tors and ambulance chasers."
