Passing of Chicago Man Considered Big Loss to| Party — Was Staunch Supporter of Gov. Smith in 1924 Convention. Chicago, Aug. § (P)—George E. Brennan, democratic national com- mitteemah and master mind of Iili- nois democracy since the passing of Roger Sullivan, died today. Dies at 8:10 The death of the veteran demo- cratie chief came at $:10 o'clock this | morning, after a coma of-several hours during whish his sturdy con- stitution alone had warded off the end which had seemed inevitable since yesterday. Mr. Brennan was than a week ago with a tooth infec- tion. Septic poisoning developed | after an operation for the removal of two teeth. His physicians, ever, gave him an even chance to recover until Monday night, when his kidneys ceased to function. | Mr. Brennan was one of the staunchest pporters of (‘vn\.rnur‘ Alfred E. $mith for the presidency, in 1924, when Smith first sought the | presidential nomination, and again this yvear at Houston when the New | York governor was chosen to head the party’s national ticket. Tt was Brennan's suggestion that D. Roosevelt, alway opposed to Tammany Hall, be selected to no-| minate Smith at the National con- vention. Brennan, too, was given eredit for the first realization of the value of night sessions at Hous- | ton, creating the possibilities of ra- dio broadcasting. | Visits Smith Several weeks ago the Tilinots ehief paid a visit to Governor Smith | in New York. | Long a bulwark of Illinois de-| mocracy and for eight years its guiding hand, his passing on the eve of another presidential cam- | paign was regarded as a big loss by his party associ i { For several years Mr. Brennan | had been suffering from diabetes, | and when the poison from the in- fected teeth began to spread (Continued on Page Four) i $400,000 INVOLVED IN MAIN §T.
