Back to Fight Dunne in City Hall Power Struggle
The article depicts a fierce political clash as Harrison backers in City Hall rally to support a 1907 mayoral bid and seek to oust Dunne. Secret meetings involve overhauling the Democratic Committee, with Lahiff resigning as City Collector and warnings that Harrison loyalists must be kept in office. Dunne counters with anticipated shakeups of the Board of Education and structural changes in public schools and libraries, while Sanitary Trustee and other posts draw contention.
