4 is 4 VOL. LXXXVII. ) — REG ENERATION, _ The New Organization Won in State Qom- mittee, in the National Councils of the Party and With the People ln State-wide Primary, The nomination of McCormick as the Democratic candidate for Govern. or is one of the most satisfactory re. sults of the recent primary election. It is well known that, instead of hav- ing sought the nomination. he was drafted for the campaign. He made the race in order to complete the work upon which he and his associates had been engaged for years, That work was the regeneration of the Democrat ic party, which under the old manage- ment had degenersted into a mere ad- junct of the Republican machine, ex- isting only to help that machine in desperate fights in return for recogui- | tion as the official dispenser of minor- | ity patronage. MeCormick und his| associates have made it a real opposi- tion party, standing for real pri: and fighting for mejorities, instead of begging and tfading for minority ap- pointments, The new movement had won in the Btate Committee, and had won in the national councils of the party. I'o complete the victory it was necessary that it should win with the people in a Blate-wide primary. The Old Guard rallied ita forces for a last desperate life-and-death struggle. Nothing that political ingenuity could suggest was left undone. Their politi- cal organization was quickened by life-giving stream of contributions from the liquor interests, agents were employed to go over the records of Pulmer and McCormick, and any de- tail that could L upon magnified and proclaimed from every platform. They selected Ryan as their candidate, principally because they deluded themselves with the belief that through appeals to those allied with bim io race or religion he could bring a third group to the support of the ticket. Their other plans were merely base ; this one was almost treasonable. Its nearly complete fail- ure is a matter of unspeakable gratifi- cation and a testimonial to the patriot. ism and good sense of our Irish Cath- olic fellow citizens, who refused to] align themselves politically on racial or religious linea. In Philadelphia, where this pers Ryan following would npaturslly the strongest, his vole is 17,758, only 2311 above Budd's, This locates and specifically defines the amount of Ry- an’s personal following. The average vote for Benator, Gov- ernor, Bupreme Judge, Lieutenant Governor in Philadelphia was 15.210 The * Old Guard” has stood up and been counted in Philadelphia before, and it is an established fact that it numbered about welldritled army of political mercenaries, which can be marched to the polls at any time to vote for any candidate, blsck or white, Republican or Democrat The presence of Ryan at the head of the ticket accounts for about 2500 more, This leaves 7000 or 8000 to represent the co-operation of the liquor interests, the disappointed office-seekers and the political flotsam and jetsam which ae- cumulates in the wake of any vocifer- ous political propagandist, —————— op — Ryan's Statement Michael J. Ryan, candidate for governor sgainet Vance C. McCormick, made this statement ; “I have submitted my candidacy for the governorship to the judgement of the Democrais of Pennsylvania, and regardless of what the causes for my defeat may have been, my opponent has been successful by about 15,000 msjority. “I thank the loyal Democrats of Pennsylvania who, without hope of reward and mainly through personal friendship, rallied to my banner. They have the satisfaction of knowing that against their candidate was utter. ed no word refl ‘ting upon his public or private career, and I trust that my future will accentuste the cordial rela- tions between them and me, for 1 stand ready to help them, as they have aided me, in any way I may, *!
