to represent Fusion movement that
had honorably defeated a justiiably
and deserverly repudiated Political
Machine, consisting chiefly of profes-
sional politicians and self perpertuat-
ing job holders.
What happened has been accurately
related in the Press. On Friday eve
ming, July 1st, contract was signed
whereby Mr.. Plummer, a Republican
appointee, was to become a member
of the Democratic organization Slate
without the knowledge or consent of
several District Leaders and the Dele
gates from the United Young Mems
and Women's Democratic Clubs. And
basest Of all, without consultation
with your sham County Congress
which had a few months previously
unanimously endorsed and elected
Messrs. Forest Walker, Harvey White
and Bernard Diamond, you fagrantly
disregarded the Congress and dropped
the former two while reshuffling the
latter in stacked poker game.
Instead of this being a Harmony
Move you know that this deal was
nothing more or less than a move to
compel all of the County employees
who had been appointed by the Fuss
ion Board to sign on the dotted line
as supporters of the Democratic Or
ganization upon pain of losing their
jobs if they did not do so.
And I am further informed that if
Commissioner Hagner had not re-
belled at such an unholy move, it
would have been successful.
am as is well known a Democrat
second to none, but before becoming
so identified one must be an American
and a citizen and therefore protect
his fellowman from injustices COM
mitted by minorities as well as ma
Jorities.

by eleven thousand odd voters at the
Ballot Box.
While voted straight Organize

spect the mandate of the electorate
of this County as expressed in a Con-

vehemently denounce the concord

jority was allegedly betrayed by
former Anti Recalcitrant Democrats.
AS to my always referring to myself
in the Press and otherwise as Presi-
dent of the Young Mems Democratic
Club, that is an easily exploded
Grimm Fairy Tale. Kindly produce
the Press Notice, or the Reporter, or
individual to whom ever referred
myself as President. I stated the
Young Mems Clubs and Women's
Clubs were disregarded and you agree
to that. cannot prevent free Press
from placing title of great honor to
my name in political stories. You are
again in error when you indicate that
am prohibited because l hold the
Office Of President of the Young Mems
Democratic Club from participation
in Primary election. If that were SO
why did syou not protest before re-
signed as candidate on the Demo
cratic State Central Committee on the
ticket with YOU.
have always spoken, speak now,
and except when specifically noted
shall always speak as an individual
despite my recognition that a free
Press, free speech, and free primary
are believed by you and your ghost
as inimical to the perpetuation of a
political organization that nurture:
itself on the taxes derived from the
toll and labor of an unprotected and
exploited Public.
