THE POLITICAL POT.

Congressman "Jack" Robinson tells the
Philadelphia Times: 1--WE have no contests
as far as | can see and the State league
was never in better condition. There is
the usual delay in meeting the assess
ments, but that will be cared for, and our
plans are much greater than in other years
as this convention will surpass all preceding
ones 1t will be, among other things, a
Republican ratification gathering for the
whole state and expect about every lead
ing party man will be there. OF course
Major Everett Warren, of Scranton, will
be the next president, There was some
stir in the Northwest league at Reading
over the election of delegates, Mr.. Dalzell
having number Of supporters there, but
Major Warren is the logical successor. The
Philadelphia clubs have registered their
Endorsement and Allegheny county will do
the same thing, and his election will be on
the unanimous order" Editorially the
Times remarks that it is something un-
usual in an auxiliary of this sort to find so
Warren has clear field for president and
thought but tho boys will be there, even
though the candidates are lacking"
The LuZerne delegation to the state
league convention will join the Scranton
contingent at Kingston on the evening of
Sept T. and go through on the same train.
Incidentally, the Wilkes Barre Times re-
marks that 'if the size Of the Lackawqnna
delegation is to be measured by the
amount Of enthusiasm shown up there al
ready for the candidacy Of Major Everett
Warren for president Of the state organi-
cation, there won't be enough extra pas
senger cars on the road to carry it. Major
Warren is one of Scranton's most active
young Republicans, already vice president
of the league, and so far has no opposition
for the place he wants. In any event, op-
position or no opposition, as Luzerne has
no candidate Of its own to present the
will no doubt turn in heartily in endorse
ment of Major Everett Warren"

Clerk of Courts Stanton, Of Luzerne
county, who once carried West Pittston
for the Democratic ticket is making a
spirited battle for denomination at todays
convention, but is somewhat handicapped
by the fact that Peter O'Boyle, Of the same
borough, is the unopposed candidate for
the nomination for district attorney. Mr..
Stanton's opponent is John II. Rice, who
led the railway brotherhood fight during
the Lehigh Valley strike. Rice has the
support of many trainmen, but also has
opposition wi hin his own order. Iuas-
much as O'Boyle is the only Democrat on
the slate who has the ghost of show for
election, it probably DOESN'T matter mate
rally which gets the clerkship nomina-
tion.
The permanent organization of the Lu.
zerne County Republican league has been
completed by the unanimous election of
the following officers for the term of one
year: President, George w. Shonk: first
vice president, William j. Harvey; second
vice president, Isaac G.. Eckert, Of Forty
Fort; general secretary, Abednego Reese;
corresponding secretary, Charles NJ. JEFF
fries; recording secretary, Henry r. Del
trick. The league headquarters will be
located in the old Wilkes-Barre Bicycle
club rooms on West Market street.

Monroe county Republicans have selected
conferrees favorable to the congressional
candidacy of Judge Kirkpatrick, Of Esston,
and there are persons would not be over
whelmingly surprised were this able pro-
U6CLlOuloU 10 OferCOln0 buo idIB6 O6IuO-
cratic majority In lthe Eighth, especially
should tomorrow's Democratic fight at
Milford breed seemingly inevitable dissen-
sions.
''Gve u.s." said Editor Boyd, Of Wilkes
Barre, who was candidate for legislative
honors, 'the making of our state laws,
and we will resign our poetcal chair Ia
favor Of e. A. Niven, John S. McGroarty
or some other worthy writer" There are
several persons in Luzerne county who
ought to havebeen won over By this appeal.
Major Warren will, 1t is announced, re-
ceiye the unanimous vote Of the Philadel.
pbia delegation at Harrisburg. The Phil
adelphia Record adds that David Martins
letter to the Pittsbprg politicians assuring
them that Philadelphias delegation will
be solid for Major Warren 'is regarded as
strong evidence that the latter will win,"
