Show Politics and Things BY fly I BUIU At this sta stage c of the rather listless political game there Isn't much likelihood hood that the American party part will vili nominate a Judicial ticket et With the tho coolest kind of or arrogance an American party leader said fald the theother theother other da day that the action of tho Americans Americans Ameri Amen cans in the Judiciary race would he be governed go entirely b by the kind lelnd of or ticket nominated h by iy tho the Republicans He added that If It the American party parly lII liked ed edthe the nominees put up by the Republicans cans there wouldn't bo ho a n fight but If the candidates were distasteful to the Kearns outfit there would bo be tion It Is the first time In many a day that nn any leading American party part man has been heard to admit that It is possible possible possible ble for Cor Republicans to do anything that will meet with the tho favor or of oC the American Amer Artier lean ican party It stands In strange comparison comparison com corn parison to the statement of ot the party organ that no matter what the th- thRe Republicans Republicans Re Re- publicans do 10 the Americans will continue continue continue con con- their fight It Itis Is reasonable to assume from this distance that If the Republicans Republican do what the Americans Americans' consider the square thing In the judiciary matter there wont won't be any opposition from the tho Kearns party part And should the Republican Rt party do the tho square quare thing In the matter of naming a county county coun coun- L ty and state ticket ct the Americans will not object j ct and will get in and boost for the Republican tickets up and down the line That's the ar argument and the admission of the Americans merel merely confirms confirm It it In construing what hat ma may be bo n a square quare thing the Republicans mn may mayview mayview view It as being tho the nomination of ot Kearns men men men-men men who have held the tho American party together to nourish the ambition of ot Tom Tom Kearns Just as soon as the Republican party part accedes to the demands of oC tho Americans and anti does the square thing by nominating men who have been followers of or Kearns then there will be no tion ion That is tho the extent of or principle Inthe in inthe inthe the American party fight It has been I a club big proposition propos from the start and tho the Kearns men arc are playing it four ways from the Jack Yet there Is a great deal of significance significance significance cance In the hona bona fide statement of or the American party part leader It ma may show a weakening or ur it may exhibit a n. de desire desire desire de- de sire on the part parl of the American party part to pass its approval al on Republican candidates before the convention con At Al Atan an any rate the Republican parly party would not be violating precedent by doing the square thing this fall and it has struggled along for some time timo now now no without asking the American party part fellows to come in out of the tho rain and say who shall and who shall he nominated S S There Is a pretty fight looming up i if the he finance committee committee of tho the city council counell coun coun- ell cil should happe happen to find enough mone money to warrant the employment o of oC 15 more policemen Already the tho Second Sec Sec- Second ond ward councilmen councilmen nil all Americans have have selected the men they will ask to be put on the tho force Not one ono o ot of these men comes the from Second pre pre- ODonnell O'Donnell has selected a man manfrom manfrom manfrom from the Third has a man picked from the First and Wood has ha promised half haIr a dozen men and ami not no noone one ono of them lives in his own precinct The constituents of or these three coun coun- I are aro sore soro because prospective cops have been picked up from al all parts of oC the thc ell city The fight wont won't come however until the council accedes accedes ac ac- ac- ac cedes to Tom Torn Pitts Pitt's request for tor 15 Hi more mor men S Wouldn't It be funn funny if ir the ringleaders ringlen ers of the American party part Insisted that tha Pitt resign as DS chief of police and Mayor Mayo Bransford told tOIl them that if Pitt re resigned resigned re- re signed he to too tom would resign That is neither nelt Impossible nor Im- Im Im- Im probable Tho The precedent was established b by Ezra Thompson when he ho tol told the Inner circle at a meeting mooting in th the tho Tribune office that If it Sheets was wa forced out ont the party part would be seeking a a. new mayor Ez Thompson kept h his word anI and as quick as Sheets resigned Thompson on found out that he was 1 In very er poor health that he was suffer suffer- sufferIng sufferIng Ing from political sciatica and could not continue continuo tho the arduous duties o ot of mayor myor There Is Is' no now a t. t strong movement within the tho American party to oust Pitt and give Sheets his old job again It If Sheets had been treated right by his hiE party parLy he would woul 1 still m bo ho chief of pOl police providing pro providing the American party part won the last election with him in It ii Is strongly asserted by friends o of Mr Bransford that he ho will not stand for tho the removal remo of ot Pitt No more than will ho stand for forthe the r of Sheets Wherefore wouldn't It he be funny t If tho the inner circle told Bransford Bransford Brans- Brans ford forti to oust Pitt and appoint Sheets SheeL Would Bransford stand by his hh appointee ap appointee ap- ap ap- ap the present Incumbent as Thompson stood b by Sheets |
