Cun ningham, Penrose leader of the Tenth ward, for a renomination as clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions. This was announced today at the Republican Alliance, headquarters. Cunningham is now on the Moore slate for a renomination. Senator Mnrtin, who is aligned po litically with the,Vares, is leader of the Nineteenth ward, nnd holds sway over several other wards in the north east. Selectman Seger controls the Seventh ward. The Vare organization has already slated First Lieutenant David Ellwood Watson, son of Magistrate Thomas F. Watson, treasurer of the Republican city committee and Republican leader of the Twenty-second ward. Reports that Martin and, Seger nnd probably David Lnne would support Cunningham have stirred political cir cles for several days. ' Incidentally. Mr. Lane came up from Atlantic City today, presumably to see Senator Martin. At the alliance headquarters today workers allied with the Penrose or ganization made no secret that Martin and Seger's support for Cunningham was certain. The clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions has a large amount of patron oge to dole out. Iu nil the bitter factional warfare Cunningham has never displaced any of the placeholders who owe political alle giance to Mnrtin. Lane and Seger. But he did wield the axe on purely Vare men. What effect the support by a number of powerful Vare leaders of the Cun ningham candidacy will have on the rest of the Independent and Vare tickets, no one in political circles seems able ,to foretell. Repbrts of serious defections from the Republican Alliance organization nnd of mysterious deals between the rival factions have made interesting gossip for political workers during the week, It is openly nsserted by Vare men that a number of division workers counted on by the Penrose forces will support all the candidates on the or ganization ticket, with the exception pf the place for clerk of the 'Court of Quarter Session', The story is that they. will hold their places under Cunningham by turninc In for him.

CUNNINGHAM REAL PACT FIGHT NVOLVES STEP TO WRECK ART CLE X Move in Senate to Destroy Vital ity of League by Inter pretation COMMITTEE MAY REPORT IN LESS THAN WEEK No Hope Held Out for Amend ment Except One Con cerning Shantung By CLINTON W. GILBERT Stun" Correspondent of the Krenlnr I'ublle Twicer Washington, Aug. 22. The real light on the league of nations now is directed toward an interpretative amendment of Article X so strong ns to destroy the vitality of the league so fur ns the I'nited States is concerned. Article X provides thnt league members undertake to preserve against external aggression the territorial in tegrity nnd political independence of nil members of the league. Even the extremists have no hope of amending the treaty or adopting reso lutions requiring submission to foreign powers, except that they think they may amend it with respect to Shan tung. They talk privately of an amend ment that will wreck Article X. They hope to delay the ratification of the treaty until public opinion sup ports the wrecking of Article X and until some of the wnbbling, mild icscr vationists stiffen up sufficiently to evis cerate what is regarded as the vital section of the treaty. May Report Next Tuesday The treaty will he reported out of by a week from today. Nobody wanlB to delay a rtnort Everybody feels that such delay would b politically unwise. 5lore0v?r pro league nnd antileague people alike be lieve they can do best with the treaty on the floor. The treaty probably will be teported only with interpretative reservations, but if so it will come out with ex tremely stiff interpretative resolutions, especially with regard to Section Teu. Presidents Plan Defeated These reservations will, of course, be included in the resolution of ratification. On that issue, the President is deci sively defeated. Once out of committee, both sides profess grent confidence. Senator Hitch cock, the leader of the President's forces, never seemed better satisfied than at present. He has, 'all along, hoped soon to get the treaty on' the floor of the Senate. Once there, he has all along believed, that a combination could be quickly made that would insure the adoption of the treaty in form satisfactory to the President. Hope to Destroy League On the other side, ennnl ennfiIenp( exists that once the treaty is on the floor, a long delay of ratification can be forced, which will lead in the end to the acceptance of a reservation with regard to section ten that will prac- iicnuy uesiroy me league so tar as tue IJnlted States is concerned. It will be noticed that the program of the anti -leaguers is not a confident program. It involves n sort of seml filibustering, or at least working for de lay and the accomplishment in the end only by Indirection what they cannot accomplish directly. Once the treaty is on the floor both sides seem to count upon public opinion for n victory.
