TO WIN MOORE'S AID. i .Council Head Sees Need of 1 Mayer's Support if He Is te j Realize Ambition BUDGET 0. K. CAUSES STIR Mayer Moere's approval, without ex ception, of the tils ity nnd county budget, just ni It wns pnnscd under Combine auspice in Council, stirred up a whirlwind of questions today no te what Is seinc en in City Hall pelittcH. Among these in touch with events iu the "Hall" such questions as these nre being nsked : "What Is Richard Wcslcin. prcii dent of Council, gettlnj; nt, In his ef forts ns the "great pacificator" be tween the Mayer and the Combine?" "Has n deal been made, or is a deal In process of evolution between Mr. wegleln and the Mayer, or between the Mayer and the Combine?" ''Arc the Mayer and the Varcs get ting together?" These, who ar really Informed scout all reports of deals. They franUy say that Mr. Wegleln is exerting himself te the end that he may make a record for what he describes as "constructive work" in the h',pe that he will be suc cessor te Mayer Moere. Hcallcs Value of Mayer's Support I But Mr. Wcrlpln bnnir thnt hn nii!i. the help of the Mayer in this oresrnm of constructive work, and he realises that it would be n mlchtv cefxl thine te bare the support of the Mayer in the long 'read te the mayoralty. Hence. It is explained, Mr. Wegleln is overlook everlook overleok ing no bets. Vare leaders insist that the Mayer, politically, is new n "dead one." Mr. Wegleln is taking no chances. Th prcldent of Council, who la a pretty geed Judge of political cur rents, is trjing te keep en the right aide of the Majer. The Mayer Is will ing te have it se as long as he is net Involved In entangling alliances. He sides, the Mayer wants the aid of Coun cil in getting money next year for a large program of public improvements. In this work, from the Maver's point Jk ve, ever llliK OIL IlCips One particular situation in which "Wegleln is anxious te make a name for himself explains much of his desire te maintain geed terms with the Mayer. Mr. Wegleln would like te be able te point te the consummation of a lease for the operation of the Frankford "L" as one of his achievements and. Inci dentally, tnc of his recommendations for the mayoralty. Mr. Wegleln knows that such a lease, in strict point of law. cannot be negotiated if the Maer has geed and popular reasons for refusing te sign a lease which may be produced by the present series of conferences Mr. Weg leln Is holding. In the case of ordi nances, Council can pae them ever the Mayer's veto. Hut the Mayer's signa ture is nbrelutely required te make n contract or lease effective. Wegleln Wants Je Be Mayer "Build up cordiale with Mayer," is the first item of Mr. Weglelu's dally agenda. 'Mr. Weglein, furthermore, wants te be Mayer. If any one conversant with the deinss in City Hall today is asked what Mr. Weglein means by his vari ous conferences and harmonizing visits te the Mayer, be promptly disposes of the question by replying that Mr. Weg , Jeln is h candidate for Mayer. New therejs a vervfine point connected with that ambition. Mr. Wegleln is as much aware as any of the leaders, that Sena Sena eor Vare would like te see Judge Pat terson lri the Majer's eflice. And de ifcplte all the propaganda which was se freely distributed some time age, Sena Sena tere'Varc is very active in politics and shows no signs of retiring. Senater Vare likes Mr. Weglein. but it is felt that He would prefer te have the Judge succeed Mr. Moere. The Senater will leek for a harmonious combination j when the mayoralty campaign rolls around. Harmony saves money ! Mr. Weglein. therefore, would like te be ble te step up te the captain's desk and report that he has harmenised everybody and that the independents led by Moere ere net disposed te rebel, ns they would if a distinctly arc picked candidate was slated. Mayer Moere's close friends eny that the Weglein harmonizing visits and con ferences have net altered the Mayer's ataml en politics or his attitude toward the Varcs. Ina recent talk with the president of Council the Mayer se, stated his position. In this cennec that Senater Varc and Mayer Moere te.n'ivlitn'erentf C" t0 "'' e'naler's frTenTsaid that the former had no original Intention of ebaklng hands with the Mayer. It just happened in the course of the Sena - -: . i .1.. .t,.e .-ui pat a pregrem along the speakers' table, "nudgct O. K. Means Nothing" The" Mayer's friends say his approval bf the budget means nothing, politi cally, except that It will smooth the way for money for public Improve ments. The budget wns approved be cause it would net haie made any dif ference whether it was approved by the Mayer or net. If the budget or any part of it hud b"n leteed. then the relations between Council nnd the city depertments would have bein badly attained and that would net nnve promoted kindliness in dealing with requests for funds. As a result both aides are happy. Despite the mantle of harmony which Mr. Weglein would threw eier every-I thine In City Hall, the Mayer Is net1 keen about the taking ever of the1 transit negotiations by the busy pre-l' tient at .iry nun ine .wuyer teeis, t;iiiin. et xi,ircrcii, who 'ias jiiit re furthermore, that the president of turned from that country, after serving Council has yielded the strategic ground ( six niemhs as a mcml -r of the Friends' which the Majer held when he an-re,ief expedition.
