Demo crata of Cook County are preparing for the biggest political pie-cutting and most aweeplng housecleaning In their live. As a result of the November election the new officlsls and the party organisation will pass around next month some 3000 Jobs, carrying an ag gregate aalary Hat of 33.500. 000. Cook County political patronage ha been In the hand of Republicans al most entirely for two decades. In that time the Democrats hsve elected Thomas K. Barrett Sheriff for owe term and John K. Traeger Coroner. The pie dividends declared by tlie.-e two men constitute about everything the party has "cut In on" In the memory of the present generation of active politi cians. Hardly had the count of ballots been made on the night of the election be fore there waa an exodus of Demo cratic party leaders to Thomas Tag gart'a resort in Indiana to decide on the manner of cutting and distributing the pie. StilliTan I .cari Way to Taggart's. Roger Sullivan. Democratic National committeeman from Illinois and one of the so-called "bosses" of Cook founty, was one of the first to go. John P. Hopkins, once Mnyor of Chicago, ar rived at French Lick the same hour. John McCarthy, who engineered the Democratic campaign In Cook County, found It advisable to "rest" a few days, and so did Oeorge K. Hrennan. one of the old wheel-horses of an earlier-day Democracy. These experts in the patronage game talked It all over with representatives of the candidates elected and devised various and sundry ways to appro priate the "spoils" of victory. They decided Informally on a dollars-and- cents basis, belloving that the total of salaries rather than the number of Jobs should figure In the calculations for wards or precinct. Then theso self-appointed conferees came back to Chicago and some of them were called Into consultation for a final decision on the parcelling of pa. tronage. The plan chosen was much like that followed by the Republicans. Most of the choice "plums" were tossed Into a basket by the off Iclais-elect of Cook County and the basket was turned over to the party organisation for allotment- John K. Owens, elected County Judge, and Peter Bartxen, president-elect of tha County Board, re fused to turn over their share of ths patronage. Ward Committeemen to Cnt Pie. Aa agreed upon the plan puts tha election of applicants for Job In tha hands of ward committeemen, who ar expected to treat with due respect the uggestlona made by precinct commit teemen and ward organisations, when tha lists are made up they are to go to I the county managing committee for ap proval and to be sent on by that body to the several county officials. Slicing of the pie will be done arith metically. The vote on Staff Treasurer Is tsken a the basis of calculations. The ratio which the vote of a ward bears to the total Democratic vote cast n the county will determine how much In sal aries the ward will draw In patronage. Over SAO of the better Jobs will thus be distributed. One ward may draw 10 and another five, depending both on the Democratic vote cast and on the salaries attached. it Is expected there will be at let ji-.orrt ani'llcanta for the connly Jobs available for good and true Democrats. The Chicago Democratic Bulletin, a weekly party organ, prints a most en ticing list of places and salaries. The county board has Is Johs, IS of whish pay $. a year.
