The national contest will connect itself with that
for Governor Wolfe's defeat by Ritner the Anti;
Masonic candidate for Governor is predicted with
absolute confidence. The election for Governor.
precedes that for Electors, by some weeks. In
1928, Mr. Adams received about $4,000 votes in
Pennsylvania. Since that time, the Anti M asonic
party has mainly grown up and has been principally
carved from the Jackson party. As in NJ York, it
is notorious that junction of the National Repub
licans and Anti-Masons is alone necessary to ensure
the defeat of Jackson. The die is cast.
