when Philadelphia decided to adopt new

CONTINUE FIGHT ON
WOMAN'S COMMIT TEE
Some $40 King Street RepubIi-
cans Trying to Split Party,

That some of the Republican leaders
Of $40 King street are trying 10 dis
rupt the party, for reasons best known
TO themselves. while others, including
members of the State, county and CITY
committees, are striving 10 renair
serious damages the party sustained al
the recent session of the LEGISLATURE
seems apparent from the reputed re-
marks of some, at meeting of a few
women at $40 headquarters on Wed
nesday evening
The meeting was called 10 try TO
organize a new woman's committee In
opposition TO the duly authorized and
recognized Woman's City Committee
Of S23 Shipley street. AT the time this
effort was being staged by the women
who follow the political fortunes of
some $40 King streeters. Charles War
ner, Republican State chairman. was
explaining to the women of the Shipley
street organization how the committee
had been organized. why 1t was recog-
nized by the state committee and the
foundation for it officially
AT $40 King street there was hardly
a corporars guard of women present.
But hoping to instill enthusiasm into
those who were there. Thomas r.
Peeney, secretary 10 United States
Senator L. Heisler Ball addressed the
women. He told them, so some of the
women said today, that they should not
pay any attention 10 what the news
papers said about their not having au-
thority to do things such as organize:
that they should proceed with their
organization and not question their be-
ing recognized as an official body: that
friends of theirs would attend to the
matter, and that they should not
bother about others who might say
they were not authorized to organize
Some of the women present, who have
been most active in trying TO organize
an opposition committee had originally
been members of the official Shipley
street organization.and at he time when
Secretary Penny was endeavoring to
urge them to organize q ne committee
the Republican candidates for mayor
and other leading loyal Republicans
were addres sii.i the Shipley street or
ganization, and trying to smooth over
sore spots resulting from the Republi-
can party representativ in the Legis-
Iature defeating the new charter bill
for Wilmington.
This opposition Of Senator Balls at
tache TO the Republican state and
county leaders has become a serious
question with many Delaware Republi-
cans. who resent the effort of what
they call n attempt TO break up the

Of prominence and power in the party
