Big "Tom'' Cunningham's hlf secret Is ont. Tt wa 'earned toilnv that one of the reasons for his zealous attendance on the ses sions of tho state Legislature Is a desire to land more Jobs for Phlladelphiana in the plan of tho leaders to build op ,the Job combine. For one thing they are after the va cancy caused by the recent death of Tames Sweeney, chief of tho bureau of standards In the office of the secretary of Internal affairs. They nr alio hope ful that the Governor will approve of n contingent fund of about S30.000 to bo used for the employment of extra ! item in tno two cnambcrs. Tho Phlladelphlans fuel that they did not get a square deal when the commit tee assignments and legislative patron age were handed out. Hence Cunning ham, Varc leaders and others in the new .--.. ?om,bInoJ'ron?e stage i strong come- uul;l'. luc ouice oi mc cniui oi ourenu of standards and a comfortable slice of tno contingent ftinrl would alleviate the hituation materially. There Is a fear, however, that Governor Sproul's econ omy program will stand In the way of the usual contingent fund. One of the reports is that Cunning ham and the Vnro leaders aro working to FEBRUARY V 3M have Max Muyer, Vara lender of tho Xhirtecntu ward, named as tho succes sor to Sweeney, Mayor is now chief pf tho scalers of weights and mensurcH in tho office of tho county commission crs. Mayer hns been active hero lately. It is believed that an effort in being made to nlaco either Mayer or one of his friends In tho vacant post. Cunningham, In chats with friends, showed a lively Interest In the recent reports as to District Attorney Ilotan. Cunningham does not believe Hint Itotun would consider being a cnndldato foi Oovcrnor. It was exp nlncd thnt when tho last mayoralty was under consid eration by tha Penrose lenders, It was proposed to tho district attorney that ho bo tho candidate for Mayor a'alnst Judge, Patterson. Mr, Ilotan refused, It was added. According to those who have ta'ked with Cunningham, the lat ter believes that Mr. Itotnn would nther be district attorney than any- hing olse. Leaders In tho new combine do no' 'hlnk that Harry A. Mnekcy has a chance to be tho harmony candidate for district nttorney this year. Close friend of Senator Vare frankly wild that if the "bit? fellow wants Uoton to be con tinued there is no hope of any one else rutting him out." By the big fo low, of course, in meant Senator Penrose, an Intimate friend of Mr. Hotnn. MECHANICS!
