LAMBERTON STILL
ALLIED WITH MOORE
Sheriff Out for DeIany to Make
Victory Over Wares Com
plete" Here
WANTS C0NNELLY IN FIFTH

Sheriff Lamberton cleared up the po-
litical atmosphere somewhat today by
asserting he was 100 per cent with
Mayor Moore" in the lattcr's fight
against the Wares. Il.
Politicians and administration lead
crs believed real split had developed
between the Mayor and the Sheriff. Mr.
Lamberten's support of James J. Con-
nelly for Congress from the Fifth dis.
trict was regarded as an indication Of
the fracture.
But the sheriff gave leaders some
thing else to think about when he came
out this morning for Charles Delany,
administration candidate for Congress
from the Third district. in opposition to
former Sheriff Ransley, the Ware can
didate.
'I am for Mr.. Delany." the sheriff
said, because he is leading the fight
against the Wares.
"The drive to beat the Ware bosses
was only half won last fall and to make
the victory complete the voters Of the
Third Congressional district should sup
port Mr.. Delany. From what I know
of the situation. he Is in every way
qualified to represent such an important
district"
The significance of Mr.. Lamberton S
support Of Mr.. Connolly lies in the fact
the administration is supporting Con-
grcssman Peter u. Costello. Alfred NJ.
Waldron Is the Ware candidate.
In an open air meeting for Connolly
last night Mt 2123 East York street. Mr..
Lamberton decried objection to Connolly
because the candidate is not a college
graduate. The Sheriff said he has seen
"enough Of high -brows in politics" and
declared what is needed is "a man who
will always be on the job"

Wood Stampede Falls
General Wood is stronger now than
he has been at any time since the
Michigan defeat. But the fact remains
that. like johnson. &c has failed to
stampede the country. He is not. as
Senator Penrose put it. paramount

only by making combination, and he
IS in poor position to make combina-
tions, lie has aroused too many antag-
onlsms. His entrance into Illinois was

q mistake. He refused to abide by the
rules of the game and that is the thing
the politicians are slow to forgive.
His latest victories. while they have
Eclpcd him morally, have really not
helped him politically. Were johnson
stronger, were Hoover stronger. Wood
would stand a better chance of being
dominated. The organization might
take him to head off johnson or to
avoid the nevessity of taking Hoover.
but it is left under no such need.
Wood may be nominated only by the
failure of leadership in the organization
and default of another candidate. The
leadership thus far displayed is not i'm
pressive nor is the list of candidates and
dark horses thus far discussed impress
sive. But then neither is the Wood
leadership impressive nor is Wood him
self especially impressive as a candidate
now that he has gone through the mill
OF the primaries.
