DEMOCRATS
IN WRANGLE j
OVER BANNER:
—i
Central Club Roosts Fritchey;
All Other Candidates
Ignored
HOT FIGHT IS BREWING
Bosses Accused of Favoritism;
Threats Are Freely
Made
At the next meeting: of the Central
Democratic Club several of the Dem
ocratic candidates are preparing to
make charges that they have been
deserted by the bosses who control
that organization. *
The word has gone out that C. Al
bert Fritchey must he given the sup
port of tile Democratic club at all
odds, and so bold have become the
Fritchey supporters in that organiza
tion that they have Hung across Mar
ket street, from the clubhouse to the
Senate hotel a big banner bearing the
inscription:
FOR COUNTY RECORDER,
C. AI. BERT FRITCHEY.
Only Frltchey's name Is mentioned.
Every otner one of the Democratic
candidates is Ignored.
The banner appeared for -the first
time to-day and there was immediate
ly a howl of protect from the candi
dates who ure left out In the cold.
Preparations were at once started to
compel the club either to take down
that banner or replace It with ono
bearing the names of all the Democra
tic candidates.
At the clubhouse nobody would ac
cept responsibility for the banner. It
had been put up "under orders" It was
said.
Irate nominees for the other offices
have long entertained suspicion that
they were being sold out by the fu
sion bosses in favor of Danner and
Eh.v, the especial favorites of Vlce
count.v Chairman Rubendall. but they
thought that Fritchey was also among
those who were to lie given the "go- |
by" at the hands of the Democratic
fusion gang.
They cannot bring themselves to be
lieve even yet that the Democratic
Losses are really for Fritchey, Some
them look upon the banner as mere
ly another clever Fritchey trick, but
all of them admit that they are very
much at sea and the bosses and the
club management are being blamed
indiscriminately,
"Why one might think that Albert
Fritchey is the only Democrat on the
ticket to Judge by that banner," said '
an angry candidate this morning. "A I
lot of good It does to be a loyal Dem- !
ocrat. for years when a man who until
a couple of years ago admitted he was
a Republican can step in and get the
support of the bosses, who are wil
ling to let the other real Democrats
go down to defeat If they only can
land a Job for h.m, It certainly does
pay to be a turncoat in this county."
Republicans also are wondering Just
how Fritchey managed to pull the
bannar over on his fellow Democrats.
It Is Hhown In Republican circles that
the McCormlek faction of the Demo
crats Is only lukewarm for Fritchey,
fearing that hie election would give
his brother, Dr. Fritchey, a fresh toe
hold on Democratic Influence by which
he could boost himself back Into the
Democratic boss-ship, th« McCormlek
faction having worked for years to
unhorse fritchey In Dauphin county.
On the other hand It Is known that
the management of the Central club
Is not very friendly toward the Mc-
Cormlek faction because of certain
facts concerning the serving of liquor
in the clubhouse,
At all event* the banner Incident
has beoti a bomb In the camp of the
Democratic gang which will have to be
explained to the satifaction of the
Democratic candidates.

Eleventh Ward Residents l*p
in Arms Against "National"
Transfer
HOLD HEARING FRIDAY
Residential Section, Many Chil
dren, Proximity to School
and Firehouse Are Reasons
More than 1,200 residents of the
Eleventh ward hove protested to the
Dauphin County Courts against the
proposed transfer of the National Ho
tel liquor license to 1802 North Fourth
street.
The hearing on the petition to trans-,
fer the privilege had been fixed for 10
o'clock Wednesday morning, but at
the request of counsel this morning
President Judge Ktinkel permitted a
postponement to 10 o'clock Friday
morning.
Frederick W. Ebel, proprietor of the
National Hotel, is compelled to move
his business because of the rapid ex
tension of the Capitol Park zone. The
National stands at Fourth and State
streets.
Three petitions have been filed
against the location of the licensed
place in the Eleventh ward, one con
taining 104 names, another with 114
names and an unusually large one
with 1,014 signatures, a total of 1,232
protesting voices
In addition to objecting to the trans
fer on the grounds that the location
or the hotel in the Eleventh ward is
unnecessary and that it is detrimental
to the public good, the remonstrants
further protest because the "section in
question is purely residential, con
taining many homes and many chil
dren," and that the proposed location
i= In too near proximity to the "Reily
Hose firehouse and the Cameron school
building."
On several occasions during the last

tried unsuccessflly to locate their busi
ness in either the Eleventh or Twelfth
wards.

i yesterday. One of the big motors
!' which will be used to furnish power
in this shop was tested out yesterday.
