KENDR|CK REPLIES
TO PATTERSON PLEA
To Be Expected Judge Would
"pepIore" Fifth Ward Case,
Says Moore Manager
so DID SMITH, HE REMINDS

"
Moore campaign committee, today IN a
statement in which he compares Judge !
Patterson's utterances with those of
Mayor Smith.
He says the city needs the hand of
Congressman Moore to give it police
force which will actually prevent crime.
The statement follows:
"Judge Patterson is reported to de-
plore the fact that the Fifth ward muir
der has been mentioned in discussions
of his candidacy.
1.-THE Fifth ward murder has ever
had curious faculty of provoking the
phrase 'deplorable' from Ware choices
for Mayor. Two years ago Mayor Smith
was told that Policeman Eppley had
been murdered by New York thugs at a
Fifth ward polling place, The Mayor
said 'deplorable' before going out to
play golf that afternoon
Expected to Be "DeplorabIe"
ut is to be expected that the Ware
picked candidate for Mayor would re
gard any discussion of the Fifth ward
case as 'deplorable.' The six police
men who now are languishing in the
West Chester Jail for carrying out what
they believed to be the express or i'm
piled wishes of their superiors likewise
consider their present situation de
plorable' as we'll as the acts for which
they were responsible.
THE Fifth ward murder. as well as
all other crimes growing out of the
abuse of police power, is 'deporable.
but, like Banquos ghost, it will not
down. Its effect will be sufficient for
those who have suffered from similar
acts to cast their votes for Mr. Moore,
assured that the police department under
his administration will be used primar
lily for proper purposes to afford pro
lection to the citizens lives and prop
erty.
THE point to the Fifth ward matter
and its present application is that Lieu
tenant Bennett and his fellow prisoners
were part of system still in force and
that will continue in force under pres
.
are not only to afford evil men the op-
portunity to exercise unlawful power,
but to seduce well-intentioned men to
commit acts which they deplore. but
have not the power or strength to re-
sist.''
Moore Questions Regularity
Regularity of the Ware organization
in stating a former Democrat for sheriff
is questioned by Congressman Moore,
Independent candidate for the mayor
atty.
Addressing meeting of Fifteenth
ward workers last night at Nineteenth
street and Fairmount avenue, the con
gresham scored the Ware organization
for stating Daniel F. Wade, former
Democrat, on their ticket for sheriff.
Where, oh, where is party regularity
now?' exclaimed Mr.. Moore.
Judge Charles L. Brown, head OF
the Municipal Court. greeted the con
gresham and his campaign party at the
entrance to the meeting nall.
Congressman, you are going 10 carry
this ward" was the salutation of the
head of the Municipal Court.
MiluonS Tor wares, He Says
Congressman Moore attacked Sen
ator Vare's contracting business anc
charged that ne had collected nearly
5000, 900 from the city in the las
twenty one years.
Alleged efforts to line up city en-.
ployes behind the organization ticke
were attacked by Congressman Moor,
and he charged that small merchants il
South Philadelphia were being harasset
because they displayed his campaign
posters.
THE contractor bosses were in sue,
confusion that they delayed until tn
last minute to pacify their followers.
said Mr.. Moore. They even had I
20 into the Democratic party to fin
a candidate for sheriff.
"What will Senator Martin and NJ,
Lane say about regularity now? Wha
was the reason for going out of III
Republican party to find candidate
Are there not enough Republicans +
satisfy the Ware appetite? Who is NJ,
Wade?
Says Wade is Democrat
Study the situation carefully an
you will locate him along with n
Robins committee of one thousand !
the Office Of W. Freeland KendricL
the tax receiver. The Democrats onc
ran MIR. Wade against Mr.. Kendricl
After that the Wares took him in an
gave him place in the tax receiver
Office.
Where, or where, is regularit
now?'
