Commissioner Lynch was promptly
on his feet.
"The last Legislature 'ripped' out
of office thirty-nine councilmen In the

he said. "My only object in introduc
ing this measure was to get through
with all this without interfering with
the running of the city."
Mayor Royal followed with his
speech.
The whole matter —this dissension
about the appointments, etc. —was a
matter of extreme sorrow and regret,
he declared. He regretted it doubly
thta the dissension should be the ques
tion of patronage. He recited the fact
that he had been accused of having
said that he was elected on a partisan
ticket. He discussed his appointments
again, declared while he was elected
on a partisan ticket he had appointed
Republicans on his police force, too;

point. he admitted, and some from a
point of efficiency. He may have made
mistakes, he said: to err is but human.
But If he did make mistakes, they
were made honestly.

DEMOCRATIC WAR
IS PRECIPITATED BY
WOODROW WILSON
President's Interference in Demo
cratic Party Affairs Has
Stirred Up Hornets
A BITTER FIGHT IS AHEAD
No Compromise Possible Between
Candidates; Morris Pleads
For More Money
Democrats throughout the State are I
on the brink of one of the worst party j
fights in a generation, and the pros-'
pects are such that one almost regrets i
that the convention system with its J
picturesque characters anil old-time j
shindies litis passed away. The atnbi-1
tions of Michael J. Ryan, the Phila-i
dclphia City Solicitor, and Vance C.
McOormick, former Mayor of Ilarris
burg, to be Democratic nominee for
Governor, with the effort of Congress
man A. Mitchell Palmer to retain his
grip on the Federal patronage in the!
State, have divided the Democrat/ of|
Pennsylvania into factions even more
sharply defined llian known in the
dfrys of Hie Harrit.v -Cordon warfare.
And. coupled with all this clash ot
fact! ns, there is throughout the rank
and file or the party resentment of the
interference of President Wilson in
the partv affairs in the Kevstone State
Wilson is the first President in the
memory of living Democrats who has
stooped from his high office to dic
tate the nominations of his party in ai
State other than his own, and the only
parallel which history of the last
[quarter century presents is that of
President Arthur, who. in presuming
| to slate the Republican candidates in
his own State of New York, brought
about a condition which resulted in
the election of Grover Cleveland as
Governor by a majority of 182,000 and
paved the way for that great Demo
crat to go to the White House.
Wilson's Butting In
Democrats who have served In the
party ranks for years have been slow
to express their opinion of the presi
dential interference and his open par
ticipation in the sort of conferences
which orators and newspapers of his
party, especially in Pennsylvania, have
denounced in the Republican party.
But people coming here from various
counties of the State tell of indigna
tion which is bursting forth and of
criticism which, leveled at the Presi
dent, will cause thousands to vote

BELIEVE CITY HIS
WIGHT TO SET IIP
CIVIL SERVICE HERE
Legislature Must Pass Act Before
Plan Can Be Adopted,
Is Belief
It is believed Council may soon ask
for an opinion regarding the estab
lishing of a civil service system in
Harrisburg.
The prevailing impression in legal
and munic!;?al circles is that the pro
posed movement cannot be carried out
in Pennsylvania third vlass cities. An
act of Assembly will be necessary, it is
believed, before' any of the third class
municipalities can adopt the plan.
In his annual message to Council,
Mayor Royal suggested that a civil
service plan be applied here, so those
city employes who serve long and
faithfully may have a chance to re
main on their jobs and not be sub
ject to personal choice of the depart
mental head.
The question of whether or not
Councilmen elected for a term of but
two years can have jurisdiction over
those city employes who will be under
the next administration, is the chief
obstacle, it is held.
"Why," asked one well-known at
torney in reply to a question on the
subject, "what under the present con
ditions would prevent the Council of
two years from now, or of two years
later, from setting aside such an ordi
nance or regulation that may be made
by this Council?"
Ever since Mayor Royal recom
mended the inauguration of the civil
service system there has been no little
talk on the subject. But the question
of its feasibility without the practical
backing of a State law has always
caused the hitch.
