POLITICAL POT IN BEDDING IS
 BOILING OVER
Dlctation of Candidates By Roraback Machine Far From Pleasing to the Voters,

Redd1ng, Oct. 20-The local politi- cal situation, which had previously 9een or m1ll-pond placidity, has sud- deniy become tempestuous oIving to the dictatoriaI influence of froF,ih!fiGo E1niorcement Agent Harry Mackenzie 1no oIner members Of the Roraback republican state machine
 The Bedding probate iudseshin an- pears to have been the chief provoca- catlon prompting the interference. For the past dozen years, J. B. San hoEG, Democrat' has held the office, haVlng been the nominee on both tickets during most of this period Two years ago, however, Fred H. Judd, present chairman of the Republican town committee, ran against him with so douotfuI result that a recount under court auspices was held. This gave MT. Sanford a majority of one. He was renominated by the Demo- cfatlc caucus last Saturday evening.
 Dry Agent Steps In.
 Up to that time it looked as if the Republicans would again be without a candidate Of their own, but Fon Sum- gay MT. Mackenzie arrived in town and at conference with the local !eaders of his party issued peremp- tcry orders as to what must be done by tho caucus on the following even- ing
 First in importance was the pro- 9Dte nomination and for this it Was his good pleasure that Attorney S. c. Shaw should become the candidate. When MT. Shaw demurred. pressure was brought to bear in the form of comp ensabory inducements. Two years ago the attorney was aspi- rant for the state senate but after a promising start in the race received cold turning down from the Rora- apex machine in which MT Macken- zle was already an important COZ.
 Shaw for ProbSte.
 This year MT. Shaw made no re- neWal of his senatorship efforts, un- doubtedly realizing that with Macken- zie and former State Comptroller Bis sell still against him, a try would be zie in substance, You can not be a senatorial candidate this year be- cause the nominee has already been chosen but if you will take the pro- bate nomination I am offering I give you absolute assurance of the senator ship two years hence.'' MT Shaw briefly pondered and yielded.
 Next in order was the representa- tive ticket. As a candidate from the East Side one except A. G, Barnett cations being undoubted, he was re- garded as a. sure winner. For some reason, perhaps because suspected of tendencies toward Rooseveltian pro- find entire favor with Mackenzie, whd male known that the ruling powers lad picked F. A. Judd as the man of the hour.
 Bait Held For Judd.
 Why this should be so, no outsider understands, unless an explanation is found in the fact that MT. Judd has endeared himself to the machine by frequently proclaiming with much emphasis that a, Democratic name Sn and indefensible thing. While intent on MT. Judd, how ever, MT! Mackenzie was willing to be fair and considerate towards MT. Bar

tenn. whereby the rIylan. administra-
tion shifts it's financial burdens from

tion budget without making it appear
that other departments We're suffering.
About $1,300,000 was borrowed, includ-
ing $500, 900 from charitable institution
funds and the same amount from
police pension funds.
Mr.. Craig declared that there was a
distinct understanding that these loans
were to be paid back and they must
be paid back this year. Pledges have
been given by the Borough Presidents
from month to month. he said, that
they would reimburse the charitable
and pension funds but they have not
made good.

borough heads pleaded.
