Republican Alliance Leader As
serts MacLaughtin May Get
10,000 Votes in All
CALLS DIRECTOR UNCERTAIN
Thomas W. Cunningham, president
of the Ucpublican Alliance, in a state
ment 'hsyed today, said he believed the
Varcs were "too big to think ot bolting1
to the MacLaughlin-Charter party
ticket." Cunningham said he had every
reason to feel that the Vnrc forces would
loyally support Congressman Moore as
the Itepubllcan nominee for Mayor.
There is, in my opinion," he added,
"absolutely nothing to these reports of
Vnrc treachery."
Incidentally, Cunningham declared he
did not think the MncLannhlln ticket
would poll more than 10,000 votes at
the outside and that MncLaughlin's
lampaign managers probably would lose
even the minority places one county
commissioner and three magistrates
The Democratic party, he said, would
poll a vote larger than the Charter
parly ticket, particularly as this is the
eve of a presidential year.
Discussing Director of -Supplies-Mac-f.aughlin

Minningnnm said no - nnvms was an

interests?"
"No," replied the nlliance piesideut.
"The count may not be finished before
next Tuesday, but even t-o, I am sure
the closing ot the official couut 'will
mark the opening ot n series of indorse
ments ot Mr. Moore and his associates
on the Republican ticket by Republican
executive committees in the various
wards. These indorsements will start
in the l.anc nnd Martin wards and go
right on down the line through all the
Vnrc and other wards.
"Next year is a presidential year,
and it is inconceivable that the Varcs
would think ot breaking their rule of
party regularity with that factor be-
tore them. I think we arc talkinc
entirely too much nbodt this question ;
iu my opinion, the Vnres will abide by

either."
Cunningham said that the official
count would probably show that Robert
12. J.amberton, Moore candidate for
sheriff, had won the nomination over
Daniel Wade, the" Vare candidate, by
a larger majority than Mr, Moore lias
over Judge Patterson.
Responsible leaders in the Vare or
ganization, who are close to Senator
Vare, declared today" there is not the
slightest possibility of an organized
"bolt" of Vare men.
They branded as the "fever aud
fioth" of the primary aftermath all the
current gossip about wholesale defec
tiops from the ranks' of the supporters
of Congressman Moore, Republican
nominee for Major. They said that un
less something wholly unforeseen. oc
curred, Congressman Moore would have
the otes of all Vare men who voted for
Judge Patterson in .the primaries, with
the exception of those who normally
would be irreconcilable.
The attitude of Judge Pattersou him
self is plain. He regards the fight as
ended and is waiting only for the
official count to end before he extends
the hand ot -ongratulation to Mr. Moore
and calls on all his friends to support
Moore as they supported him.
Senator Watches Count
Senator Vare ,said he was doing
nothing but watching the official count.

Music not only has cultural but re

"Every man is moic or less fond of
music, even it he is no- musician," said
Mi Stotesbury.
"If it seems to the aveiuge business

Mi. Moiris sums up his opinion nf
