O Brien Guided by Tammany Cash in Disorderly Split
The County Executive Committee charged John J. O Brien with selling out the local and state Republican ticket to Tammany. They report he received 3100 from the County Democracy 4650 from Tammany and 1700 from Republicans on the congressional ticket, and he backed the Tammany candidate while opposing local GOP interests. Barney Biglin and John Brodsky defended him claiming sacrifices were for the national ticket. The committee’s action awaits full approval at tonight’s meeting and could spark a heated debate.
