The ! W cb^liTuiqii vt the county exec­ utive committee is W. U Miller, the attorney. The secretary is George Hud­ son. ea4 treasurer, John A.'Hisbei' At a meeting of the Democratic vot­ ers of the township and corporation on Monday evening in the mayor's office James' A. McMillan was chosen again as central committeeman; for the town­ ship, In the corporation F- B; Turnbull will succeed D. L, Crawford. There is more or less speculation over the county as to the recent organization » of ffie central and executive committees. Some are contending that the Forpker* Schmidt branch will furnish enough op­ position to keep the new management busy It Is known that the ’Forajccf . forces, although unorganized, intend using.their influence against Taft. Just what strength this faction can muster is problematical. At present there seems tp be little chance-,of injuring the state and national ticket in tins county, The W, C. T. tJ, must be preparing to] enter the political,arena in this county ‘this-fall,-judging" from a recent episode when J. E. Lewis, the nominee for rep­ resentative, paid Mrs. Flatter, president of the County organization, a visit. It is? claimed that the W. C: T. U. circu- •la,ted certain reports,that were hot fav­ orable to'Mr:J^cyvis,-particularly in a dry-county. As the story-goes neither tha_candxdate nor the heacl of the coum ty organization came to terms, and Mr, Lewis is said to bave informed the pres­ ident that his nomination was as good as an ejection. s>It now remains to lie seen Which has the* strength^ Mr. Lewis or the W .G L O . ' ’ ‘ Schmidt, formerly being a Democrat, still is credited, with having a seat at that table. In fact he is as much a boss of the Democratic party as ip the Re­ publican party. It is but a few days until the Democrats assemble to name a county ticket. There will, be some offic­ es that Schmidt will want .weak men named .while- others - will - have to fee stronger in the vote getting line. For representative Schmidt will try to keep a good .man from .feeing nominated at Jimmie Lewis just suits him. What we mean by a good man is one that cannot be controlled by the Boss. 0* E, Brad- fute, M, J, Hartley, A. H. White and Fischer Littleton have been mentioned for representative. ,As to epunty, com­ missioners and infirmary board the B qss is at sea,. The newly nominated mem­ bers for the last board are men that cannot be controlled and' Schmidt may endeavor to IceCp his hold on tltis-Jroard through the.election of Democratic mem­ bers, It then behooves the Democrats; to he cautious. .

Schmidt without regard of party lines fought Brennan, although he claimed to .be the Republican boss.
