All Party Managers Up to Their Eyes In
work-Busy Sending Out Tickets and
Closely Watching the Detaiis-Gossip
From Politicians.
Around the Republican headquarters the
animation seemed greatest. There was a
large number of visitors, the clerks were all
busy and the officers of the County Commit,
tee were kept moving about in lively way.
Said County Chairman Grjpp: 'What you
see here to-day is only u repetition of what
it has been for more than week. The peo-
pie who are moving in and out of this
Office are from all sections of the
county. They impart to us their
knowledge of the political situation in their
districts and through them we are en-
abled to fix up any weak spots that may
appear. At the same time we are in a po-
sition to gauge pretty accurately the situa-
tion. don't mind telling you that our
fight in the county is in excellent shape,
and we will win out every regular Re
publican candidate, State or county. It's
little too early to give majorities, but
ours are sure, and we will give out an ap-
proximate of them by next Saturday or
Monday"
At the headquarters of the Democrats
there was likewise good attendance. T.
j. O'Leary, County Commissioner Boyle
and Nicholas Stokely, ex-County Commits
sioner, seemed to be in charge of the place,
and were hearing reports and issuing
directions to the workers who came
in. Among the latter was George
NJ. Michaels, an old-time Democratic
farmer from North Versailles township.
He said that although the township was
largely Republican there was no disaffection
~ in aif ha old orfi iac
on the judicial ticket. AS to the balance of
the ticket North Versailles had a large pro-
hibition vote that would probably compli-
cate matters.
''See that" said T. O'Leary, who over
heard the conversation, They're all re-
porting that way. There is no doubt of the
election of the judiciary ticket indorsed by
the Democratic party. The Democratic
State ticket will win, too, though we don't
expect to get more than the full Democratic
vote for it in this county"
The Democratic Finance Committee met
yesterday afternoon at the headquarters and
arranged for the distribution of their cleo
tion tickets. No details could be learned,
but it was stated that the meeting was of a
very satisfactory nature.
The Straightout Republicans were not out
very strong around their headquarters yes
terday, but Secretary Dunn was on hand.
His force of lady clerks was sending out
posters offering $500 reward for the arrest
and conviction of election officers who fail
in any way to fully comply with the law in
receiving votes, and S100 reward for any
person convicted of destroying Straightout
tickets in any election district. Mr.. Dunn
said: 81 wish you would state positively
that the Straightout committee is working
just as hard for the regular State ticket as
they are for our county ticket We are
sending out Gregg and Morrison circulars
just as rapidly as the others. We are san
guine of electing our whole county ticket.
We are not running brass band campaign
with small boy audiences, such as that
Eleventh ward meeting was last night. We
psign at the Turner Hall in the Twenty
sixth ward tonight"
