NOT A LOVE MATCH.
Randall Club and County Democracy
Men Combine to Down Sipe.
PROSPECTS TSOFTO-DAY'S PRIMARIES
The Republican Slate Expected to Go
Through Untouched.
ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT FOR DALzELL

To-day both parties hold their primaries.
With the Republicans all is serene and the
slate is expected to go through without
brushing against sponge. On the other
hand, the Democrats are wild, and regular
r. P. Synod time is expected If it doesn't
come to-day it certainly will in the
convention on Tuesday. w. A. Sipe, the
outside candidate for the judgeship in the
No. Court, has declared war on all the
Democratic leaders, and is alleged to be
strong enough to win. In fact, the stalwart
Democrats are so much afraid of him that
factional strifes have been healed for the
time, and yesterday William j. Bremen
and T.J. O'Leary were actually seen smoking
| the same brand of cigars and holding a con-
/ ference in Mr. Brennen's Office. The Ran
dali Club and the County Democracy have
really Joined hands in the fight to hold in
violate the appointments of Governor Pat
tison 1t is almost the first time in history
that such a fusion of the local Democratic
forces has been made.
A Dispute About the Convention.
Although it is stated that the Democratic
convention does not intend to do more than
approve the appointments of the Governor,
viz: Porter, McClung and Kennedy, Mr..
Kennedy will be given the nomination if
there are enough of his delegates in the con-
vention, but if Mr.. Sipe should have a
sufficient number the nomination will be
delayed until new primaries are called. Mr..
Sipe, however, claims the nomination must
be made on Wednesday.
When William j. Bremen, Chairman of
the Democratic County Committee, was
seen yesterday he said: 81 can't see the
policy of going against the appointments of
the Governor. By his arrangement we are
to be given one judge, and if We fight the
Republicans can take even that. Mr.. Ken
nedy was not my choice, but when the
Democrats have fighting chance by
running him 1 am willing to enter the field
for him. He was not even considered
formidable candidate for the nomination,
and his talk about being out for the Office at
the last convention is nonsense. / drew up
the bill providing for the three new judges
myself, and had it introduced by Demo-
cratic member. The convention Mr.. Sipe
speaks of was on January 4, and the
bill was not introduced in the
House until three days later, SO
how in the world could he have been can
didate at that time. 1 do not believe he
will have any chance of winning do not
believe this convention can nominate candi-
dates for judges for the No. Court The
only thing l believe we can do is to simply
approve of the appointments of Governor
, Pattison."
Busy as a Bee Could Be. ...
Mr. Sipe was so busy with his canvass and
arranging his delegates that he could only
be seen for moment, but in that time he
stated that he would control the convention.
He further said some of his delegates had
been warned that if they did not withdraw
from the fight they would lose their present
business situations.
There is no doubt that Thomas Mullin
will get the nomination for Jury Commits
sioner, and it is not likely that the other
places will be filled save as a matter of
form.
On the Republican side there is no fight.
John Bradley will be re-nominated for Pro-
thonotary, Archibald Berry will be put up
for jury Commissioner and Judge Over has
no opposition for the seat in the Orphans
Court 1t is stated that c. L. Magee will
be a candidate for delegate to the State
Convention from the Fifth district,
but it could not be verified yesterday. The
other delegates will be j. o. Brown and
John Gripp, of the Third district; William
Finn, Andrew Robertson, William Ru-
ld1lUG ana one Quiet lIOul IH0 llbu ulstIlCt3
A j. McInitty and John Mercer from the
Sixth district; William Albrecht and John
w. Stacey from the First; John Bathurst
and Charles Steffin from the Second, and
DR.. Black from the Eighth.
Fetterman Thinks Sipe VIII Win.
Judge Fetterman yesterday in speaking
of the prospect said: ''There will not be
any break in the Republican side, but be-
lieve Mr.. Sipe will win his fight with the
Democrats. / believe that when we nomi-
nate Judges next August, or whatever time
may be fixed, we will nominate three judges
l don't see how anything else can be done"
The Americus Club directorssheld short
meeting yesterday afternoon. Prof Ford,
A. j. Logan, President Baer and other di-
rectors were present. Mr.. Logan said that
outside of routine business transacted
the directors decided that Mr.. English was
all right in using the room May % for
meeting of the committee to boom Congress-
man Dalzell for the presidency of the State
League Mr.. English is Chairman of this
committee, and it was claimed by some that
he exceeded his authority in taking the
room.
1t was shown that he had the consent of
President Baer, and it was again granted to
the committee for a meeting next Tuesday
evening. ..'
