McCain Says Organization Will
Concede Moore Victory
in Primaries
TO FIGHT SHERIFF VOTE
Ily GEOIK1K NOX McCAIN
The regular Itepublicun organization
bos decided to bow to the inevitable. It
recognizes the hopelessness of endeavor
ing materially to change results', so far
s the nomination of Congressman
Moore is concerned.
This docs Slot mean that it will not
continue to take every advantage of
fered in the course of the official count
that is lu its favor. It recognizes, how
ever, that any hope of wiping out
Mr. Moore's majority lias vanished.
The Varc organization Is now con
centrating every effort to reduce T.nm.
berton's majority for sheriff and in
crease the figures for' Wudc. It is Hie
only bit of driftwood to which they can
cling in the whirlpool of defeat. There
lias 'been homo reduction in lumber
ton's majority. It is pot likely that
Wade's nominatioWon the official count
will materialize.
I am told also that the services of
well-known detective agency have been
engaged and that its operatives ure
already at work endeavoring to dis
cover irregularities in the Eighth ward.
This ward has been canvassed and
passed in the official count. Its large
majority for the Independent ticket,
and the fact that in other elections
it has been under fire, arc the founda
tions on which the regulars base their
hopes.
l'oso As Moore Adherents
The operatives of this 'detective
agency, it Is said, arc going through the
ward representing themselves as parti
sans of Congressman Moore and the
Independent ticket. Hy endeavoring to
get into confidential talk with voters it
is believed they may obtain from them
lome'adrai&sion on which to base charges
of crookeducss.
The reason for selecting the Eighth
jrard particularly is that it is Senator
Penrose's home ward.
It is the continuation of the policy
developed during the last Legislature
by the Vare Icudeis to "get Penrose."
Not, I think, that they entertain any
idea that Senator Penrose personally
"would be involved, but that it would
tend to discredit him should it be proved
that there were irregularities in bis
ward.
Tncre has been a murked change in
the attitude of the organization's coun
sel before the return judges during the
last two days. There is more attention
to the rules of decorum and less bel
ligerency. A judicial calm has suc
ceeded the impetuous outbursts of pre
vious days.
One noticeable feature of the recount
that has frequently been remarked h
the appaiontly calculated failure of the
Independent's attomejs to display their
hand. It is inconceivable that the
Moore, people shculd not have some skill
fully concealed machine-gun nests of
hworn evidence us to election fraud
ready to discharge at the proper mo
ment. There have been hints of this. Sug
gestions of startling disclosures that
are to come. There arc two particular
cases, I am informed, complete in every
detail that may prove of unusual in
terest; one in particular. IScjond this
the carefully guarded detail.-, whaler
they may be are Known to not more
than half a dozen persons.
Free Lance Speculation
There has been u lot of free lanec
peculation on the possibilities of one
or more tickets 1o be put in the field
by tho pre-emption process.
It could only be un clcvcuth hour
expedient. It would prove abortive.
It could only be undertaken by out
siders, because were.it done with the
approval of either faction it would be
an abject confession of weakness, or
bad faith of such character that it would
react URpn the faction responsible for it.
It is possible that some suggestion of
this nature may have becu conveyed
to regular organization leaders. I do
not know. It looks us though the
policy of the Independents might be for
the suke of the Republican party, to
keep any damaging disclosure in the
background as far as possible, unless
conditions force a ehowdowu.
There seems tp be little doubt now
that the official count will be completed
before, the 7th of October the last day
for pre-empting party names. Judges
Audenrled aud Ferguson arc manifest -
. ly bending every effort, consistent with
accuracy ana impuruuiiiv, iu complete
their task in the shortest possible tlmi
This is evident in their method of
work. I am of the opinion that if
it became necessary to avert the con
fusion and rancor that would follow
failure to complete the official count
before October 7 they would sacrifice
personal convenience to the extent of
holding epntinuoua twenty-four-hour
sessions.
As it is, the distinguished jurists arc
engaged iu the performance of a none
too pleasant, if not really distasteful,
but necessary duty.

COMMITTEE WILL NOT- TALK
Atlantic City. Sept. 27. That no
combination of forces in his ni.rtv is
strong enough to successfully stand lu
his wny if President Wilson concludes
to go before the net national conven
tion ns a third-term candidate, was the
privately expressed opinion of sonic of
the most conservative members of the
executive committee of the Demoiiatic
national committee when that bodv
gathered for its closing session here to
day. Mr. Wilson ought not to court pos
sible disaster for his pnrtv by raising
the third-term i-Mie after four jcars of
a second term, which has not been de
void of serious parly blunders, but if
he decides that he wants to tnke the
chance the piutv villi go along with
him, wns the way some of the commit
teemen cnnvejed the undorlv inc thought
Ulhcinlly the shore session is not con
sidering candidates at nil, but rather
the prosaic subjects of finance am1
organization. Nevertheless, Mis. Giorge
Bass, chairman of the woman's bureau
"t the national committee, one of the
participants iu the junket which took
N'atloiinl Chairman Ciimnilngs, Tien
-urn- Marshall, herself and a number of
others into forty states lins brought
word that women voters throughout the
West are strongly, pro-Wi'son and are
u aily In vote for him in 11120.
Airs. Bass has told the executive com
mittee also that the women voteis nie
g'liti;; to be the balance of power in next
jear's campaign, and that Mis. Wood
row Wilson's engaging smile has done
fur mine ihun league of nations propa
ganda to plaie them in n receptive
liumd. v
SIcAdno "scouts," nevertheless, were
busy niouiiil the corridors of the St.
Charles this morning. It is their claim
that the Democracy cannot afford to
antagonize the nation on the third-term
issue, nor to take up Attorney Genera'
Palmer, of Pennsylvania, because of
the enemicri he has made as alien prop
erty ciistnilinn, nor with war taxation
burdens and the great mountain of war
debt lonfioiitiug the nation, can it nf
foid to ignore the great abi'ity of Wil
liam Gihbs McAdon as a financier.
Arthur F. Mullen, committeeman for
Nebraska, suggested that the Democracy
might iln worse than to lake up Scnulur
Hitchcock, who has charge of the treaty,
particularly if tho treaty and tho league
of nations are to be ratified in the Sen
ate iu the near future.
Nothing has thus far been definitely
settled, National Chairman Cummings
said this morning, relative to the plan
to be adopted for the financing of the
campaign.
