W. Freeland Kendrlck, the present Re
ceiver, who is urged by the Vnrcs for
a third term, be dropped from consid
eration. Rotan Would Head Ticket
The ticket would be headed by Dis
trict Attorney Rotan. Magistrate Wil
liam F. Campbell, leader of the
Twenty-fifth Ward, would be named
for Register of Wills, to succeed James
It. Slieehnn. Controller Hndley is sug
gested for renomination, but this pro
posal Is likely to meet the opposition
of the Mayor. Further It Is suggested
thnt the Voters League could nnme the
enndidnte for City Treasurer.
This ticket, it was announced in
Vare headquarters, was not satisfactory
to the South Phiiadclphlans. They in
sist that both Kendrlck and Watson get
places ou the ticket. They indicated,
however, that they are open to argu
ment. The test of whether or not the
Vnrcs will fight will come when Sen
ator Penrose defines his position nnd
the Penrose-Independent ticket mnkes
its nppeainnce Vare leaders declared
they could put their ticket through and
that "icsponsiblllty for a contest in
the primaries would rest with the
minority."
Tiie Pcnrose-Cunninghnm conference
It. expected to be historic In its political
significance. Cunningham and Senator
Vare hnve been working together for
some time. Penrose will bluntly nsk
Ciiniiinglinui if he is in a position to
break with Senator Vare. Senator
Penrose believes "Rig Tom" will stand
by him as well ns President Judge
Rrown. (scar E. Noll, who has been
serving as a Unison officer between Pen
rose and the Mayor, feels thnt Cun
ningham may break with Penrose.
Would ItrcaU With Cunningham
"If he does." said Noll to one of his
friends, following his chat with the
Mayor, "I will break with Cunningham,
politically, I mean."
It is understood that Cunningham, in
his talk with the Senator, will expatiate
In the best Tenth Ward fnHhlou on the
glories and possibilities of the Combine.
Penrose, however, will counter, it is
believed, with simp of the arguments
ued by Mayor Moore in his talk vvitli
the Senator. The Mayor told I'-nrose
that if he allowed the Vnrcs to d .minute
the county ticket, he would have to
look to his laurels in the next gubernn
toiial latnpuign and in the next Mayor
nil v. The Mayor warned Penrose ngninst
being fooled, and finding out too late
that he had been caught in a skillfully
prepared Vare trap.
If the series of conferences Penrose
U hnvlnir results, ns anticipated, in the
sinnsliing of the Vnre Male and the dis
ruption of the combine, then the Vnre
majority in Council will he shattered.
As things stand now, the Vines are able
to control by both a majority and a
tliiee-tiftlis vole in Council, the latter
enabling them to override the vetoes of
tint Mavor. If Rrown and Ciiuutiighiim
me forced to break with the Vures then
the South Philadelphia Councllinen will
i find themselves back whore they started
with less than n majority of Council.
One of the Inteiostrng sidelights on
I the situation is the sudden reappear
I unco of former City Solicitor Connelly
In the political arena. Connelly called
on Penrose nnd in god him to take u
stand against the Vnirs. Connelly, for
a time, was credited to the Vnre side
of the fence, though lie was nwi r re
garded as "too fur off the Penrose res
ervation,
i Will Gel Rns Again
Connelly, about a year or so ngo, gave
up bis leadership "f tin- Eleventh Ward
and went to "Merlon to live. Now It is
understood he Is planning to return to
the city and get into active politiis. He
may take up a residence in the Eighth
Wiird, Panose's home ward. If the
combine is knocked west Cotine'ly will
be found, said his friends, on the side
of the Mayor.
, Politicians predh t that if :lie Vaies
do not vield to Penrose- and the imle
ptndents In the framing of a ticket the
cami'iiign will be replete with sensa
tional features. One of these the use
of photogtuphie copies ot diet I, s pnld by '
gamblers for police protection wn ,
hinted nt In Administration circles. The '
combine. It was pointed out, lagan to
take steps ns soon as it was discovered '
that the Moore Administration would I
not stand for the buying and selling of
