PoTTsvILLE, June l4.-NeXt weeks
court promises to be an interesting one.
Among important cases will be those of
County Commissioner Allen and DR..
Szlupas, of Shenandoah. Each OF these
cases will make good drawing cards and
bring many people to the hill from
! both below and above the mountain. Mr..
| Losch, who is prosecutor in the case
| against Mr.. Allen, has gone to Barnegat
| to reCuperate and get in good order for
| the trial EX-District Attorney and
| County Chairman Whitehouse, who is
| doing the chief legal work for the prose
cution in the case, has gone with Mr.
| Losch. Mr. Whitehousy uas sought the
retreat to fill himself up with sea air 80

| didates for office who want to be nomi-
mated must give bonds to obey the bosses
and if they fail to do this they may as

| further expense and shoe leather. The
leaders say they will take care that no
more mistakes happen.
| The campaign will not open as soon as

more than once fallen back upon the
General to lead it when hard pushed, and
who can tell but that the party may be in
need of him now.
OF the three candidates in the field now
| for the Congressional nomination, Shoener
seems to be the only one who is making
any kind of show of getting there. 1t is
my opinion that there is something
| rotten in Denmark as many of the
warmest friends of both Brumm and
Shoener have been seen frequently of late
in mysterious consultation with some
of the Losch lieutenants. When these
people are approached they appear to be
entirely innocent of any underhand work,

warrant the statement that Losch is get.

Developments of recent date seem to
have somewhat encouraged the Demo-

contest in the 30th district seems to at
tract the most attention and it is expected

one of the hottest campaigns in the dele

| Very little is said about the Congress-
ional nomination on the Democratic side.
Reilly still has the field to himself and
there is not the slightest intimation that
he will be opposed
The contest for the Shrievalty was
shifted to Shenandoah last Thursday.
All the candidates, or their friends, took
