Soldier Republican Party Seeks
to Rout Machine Forces.
Bosses Worried
IGNORE COMPROMISE OFFER

The "Soldicr Republican Party"
formally started political offensive
in Aldan. Delaware County. last night.
and there are Indications that the ma
chine forces in that section will be COM
pletely routed
Influential citizens Of the borough in
dorsed the new party at a quiet meet
ing in the home of one of the residents.
and declared they would roll up their
sleeves and go to work for the candi-
dates who will be named by the new or
gnnization.
The new party. started few weeks
ago as joke, but the regular machine
Republicans of the borough took it 30
seriously that the joke became n reality.
1t has thrown n scare into the camp
Of Republican machine followers. 1t Is
said, who realize that they probably
will have stiff battle at the coming
Septcmber primary.
Regular organization supporters
shrugged their shoulders and elevated
their eyebrows on hearing that some Of
the World War veterans intended to
run for Offices in the borough. Now
they are strokng their chins and won
dering what is to be done about it.
Although the soldiers candidates will
make n bid for nomination for borough
Offices on the regular Republican ticket
they will conduct their campaign under
the slogan Of the Soldier Republican
Party.
Influential citizens Of Aldan. ms we'll
as those at the county seat, Media, will
help the soldier movement, it is said
by sending speakers to help in the com
ing campaign.
The veterans have tentatively selected
the following candidates for the offices
named, and all fought in the World
War: Burgess, Frank w. Hagaman =;
Collector of Taxes, Benjamin +. Err
kert; Counclmen, Bertram Edwards.
Ralph Earle and James Gillen. Two
public school teachers will be named
ms candidates for the School Board.
Convinced that the soldier movement
might sweep the machine followers out
of office. leader of the latter, it il
said, has already tried to trade or COM
promise. This leader, it is said. offered
to support two of the soldiers council
manic candidates II the veterans would
turn in for the gang candidates for
burgess. The offer was ignored.
As no financial reward isiattached to
the borough Offices, except in the case
of tax collector, promoters of the new
movement cannot be charged with COM
mcrcialism.
Frank W. Hagaman, prospective
candidate for Burgess. Is one of the or.
ganizers OF the new movement. He has
Offices in the Harrison Building, Fif-
tecnth and Market streets.
I'VE want to obtain real improve
ments," he said. "and the new move
ment is pledged to that cause. We es-
pecially need adequate sewers. The bor-
Ough expects to float a $40 900 loan for
this work. Should the candidates on.
posed to machine rule be elected, they
will see that the money is properly cx-
pended and endeavor to obtain for the
residents 100 cents for every dollar"
We expect to hold our meetings right
out in the open in order that the people
of the community may see what we are
doing at all times"
