ceiver, who is urged by the Wares for
n third term, be dropped from consid-
Grafton.
Rotan Would Head Ticket
The ticket would be headed by Dis
trict Attorney Rotan. Magistrate Will
liam F. Campbell, leader of the
Twenty fifth Ward, would be named
for Register of Wills, to succeed James
gested for denomination, but this pro-
posal is likely to meet the opposition
Of the Mayor. Further It is suggested
that the Voters League could name the
candidate for City Treasurer.
This ticket. it was announced in
Ware headquarters. was not satisfactory
to the South Philadelphians. They in
sst that both kcndrick and Watson get
places on the ticket. They indicated.
however. that they are open to argu-
mcnt. The test Of whether or not the
Wares will fight will come when SEN
ator Penrose defines his position and
the Penrose- Independent ticket makes
it's appearance. Ware leaders declared
they could put their ticket through and
that responsibility for a contest in
the primaries would rest with the
minority
The Penrose- Cunningham conference
il, expected TO be historic in its political
significance. Cunningham and Senator
Ware have been working together for
some time. Penrose will bluntly ask
Cunningham if he is in a position to
break with Senator Ware. Senator
PenrOse believes big Tom" will stand
by him as we'll as President Judge
Brown. Oscar F.. Noll, who has been
serving as a liaisOn officer between Pen =
rose and the Mayor, feels that Cum
ningham may break with Penrose.
Would Break With Cunningham
IF he does" said Noll to one Of his
friends, following his chat with the
Mayor. IL will break with Cunningham
politically, l mean"
1t is understood that Cunningham. ir

! in the best Tenth Ward fashion on thu
glores and possibilities of the Combine
Penrose. however, will counter, it Il
believed, with some of the nrgument
used by Mayor Moore in his talk will
the Senator. The Mayor told P"nroS'
that if he allowed the Wares to dominate
the county ticket. he would have t,
look to his laurels in the next guberna
torial campaign and in the next Mayor
alty. The Mayor warned PenrOsc againS
being fooled. and finding out too lat
that he had been caught in skillfull,
prepared Ware trap.
II the series of conferences Penros
is having results. as anticipated, in tn
smashing of the Ware slate and the dis
ruption of the combine, then the Var
majority in Council Will be shatter ed
As things stand now, the Wares are abl
TO control by both n majority and
tLrr"- tifthS vote in COunCH. the latte
enabling them to override the vctoes o
ths Mayor. If Brown and Cunningham
nrr forced to break with the Wares the
the South Philadelphia CounciImen wi
find themselves back where they starte
with less than majority of Council.
One of the Interesting sidelights o
the situation is the sudden renppear
ancc of former City solicitor Connell
in the political arena. Connolly callc
on Penrose and urged him to take
stand against the Wares. Connolly, fC
time, was credited to the Ware sid
of the fence. though he was never re
/ garded as "too far off the Penrose res
ervation."
