Charges of double crossing, ''high-
siding and unadorned prevaricatine
were heard on every street corner yes
terday where men gathered to discuss
the results of the primary election
Supporters to the losers, as well as the
winners, were bitter in their remarks
and denunciations of those who were
supposed to be following instructions
and tpro1nises-but whoi did not--maae
previously.
Political trades, which were not car
ried out, and threats of holding trade
violators responsible for defeats of
certain candidates, and a promise to
remember and register some of the
deals against those who failed to acrry
out agreements were solemnly made.
The election result was the same
as several private declarations of war
between some of the political Lead
ers as well as those who flatter them
selves with. that name. But the re-
suit as tailed, was like the red rag
flung in front of the quadruped with
horns. When some of the leaders put
their hands in their pockets and heard
no answering jingle their vows of VEN
gence were renewed
Three offices seemed to be the mag
netic pole around which all the wrath
was gathered-the congressional, the
sheriff's and the superintendent's One
of the candidates for sheriff who lost
was supported strongly by one of the
leaders of political thought. The big
boy was mad and charged one of his
pet office holders with not working
hard enough for his candidates cleo
tion. The official was also charged
with not working at all for another as
pirant for county office and solemn
vow to break the officials political
back in the next election was made
The official did work slightly for TIE
losing shrieval aspirant. howeevr, in
spite of alleged promises he had made
previously to the successful mans
friends. They watched him during his
activities and now they are peevcd.
Their friend won, but they are unien
men and they believe in sticking byl
their friends. And another election LAY
is coming.
Another office holder made prom
ises to some union men, It is said. |
to the effect that if he was supported
by the organization at an earlier elec-
ton, he in turn would support their
friend. He was supported, but near
the recent primary date he supported
a losing candidate. The union men
are aware of it and have made solemn
vows to attend political funeral
In the meantime "The Hole in the
WALL also is peeved with some or the
other leaders, in spite OF the fact tnat
the successful candidate was a favor
ite. Certain promises were made to
It. and were not fulfilled, leaving the
favored candidate with a smaller
number of votes than there should
have been.
.The Hole in the WalT' is loking
With interest towards a rumored alder
manic government. The big boy Is
ooking with interest in that direction,
.hough he will spend little time IN the
,ity after this year, for speii. me
inion men to whom promises were
made but not kept, are awaiting. one
IF the above mentioned officials has
promised to support the move-n II
ooks like a winner.
The factions divided into two classes
n the congressional race, and one OF
he faction leaders is not at all pleased
With the others jubiliation-or jing-
ing, and the aldermanic fom may in
crest one of the factions. If the
.hange looks like winner it may lind
favor, according to one
action leader.
Anyway, it is good to be on the out
ide and watch the fun. L
