PoTTsVlLLE, June l5.--A review of the
political situation in Schuylkill county
may now be made with some certainty as
to the probable outcome. and in review
ing it l do not want to be understood as
favoring any candidate for any particular
Office, no matter who he is and altogether
irrespective Of the party to which he be
longs. take it the HERALD readers want
facts rather than theories and it will be
the endeavOr of your scribe to dish mn
only such things as he believes are sub.
stantal and have truth as the principal
element in their makeup.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE.
Who will carry off the nomination for
Congress in the Republican county con-
yentlon Shoener Brumm or Losch Mr.
Brumm says he will Mr.. Shoener saws he
Will and Mr.. Losch says neither Br1mm
or Shoener know what they are talking
about. The SChuylkill Haven statesman
has gone fishing, but before he went he
pald visit to several important STAMP.
ing grounds, like Shenandoah and Maha-
noy City, and threw out a few lines to
catch delegates 1t is rumored also that
he took shy at the 3Oth district Senator.
lal night while there against Covle and
now II Is stated on good authority that
non. -. u. Phillips, of Gordon will NOT
90 into the arena, but that Thomas j
Edwards, of Mahanoy City, and Frank
hantner, of Lofty, will contest with Mr.
Coyle for the coveted nomination. How
ever that may be, we have the indispu-
taole TACT staring Republicans in the face
that so far as the nomination is concerned
Losch is still in the field though he NAV
be far from the goal. 1t is still a neck
and neck race between Shoener and
Brumm with the chances in favor of any
one you choose to make.
sALLADE OR HIGGINS.
In the fight for Sheriff on the Demo.
cratic side it is conceded the fight has
narrowed down to Doc Sallade or n !
Higgins. All others are only in it to make
the race a lively one. 1t is more than
probable, from Information just at hand,
that Frank p. Spiese will dy the track
Tor senator and yield to the blandish-
ments of some psuedO friends who. un-
mindful of the adage about swapping
horses while crossing a stream, want him
to switch, off on to the Sheriff track. 1t is
700 iate, however, for Spiese to unsaddle |
DIR. Saliade, and Higgins is so far ahead |
with his people that it is safe to say it |
VIII be either Higgins or Sallade in the |
Democratic convention.
As for the Republican convention If |
will be either Davis or Scott.
THIRTIETH DISTRICT cnvTEsT.
Up with you people, fancy the Sepa- |
torlal contest creates the most interest and |
/ Will briefly refer to that again. 1t mav1
be accepted now that the Democratic |
tussle Will be between j. j. Franey. of |
Shenandoah, and ex-senator King, of |
MahanOy City. Senator Monaghan will |
not be in the field again; in fact it is
pretty sure he will remain out West and
not even take a hann in the matter for
any one. Mr. Franey's friends build on
ms many qualifications, among them be
ing his general ability, his property in
terest in the region, his unquestioned
Democracy and his close attachment |
70 the workingmen's interest. having
been miner in early life. They also
claim that, as shown in the recent water
lght IN Shenandoah, he can always be
depended upon to champion the peoples
cause and rights and that in all these
particulars he is the peer of ex-senator
King. The latter, on the other hand, is
not ready yet to make his claims for the
place known, or if at all, they will only be
made known by his lieutenants, such as
squire Lltsch, of Mahanoy City, Just
before the time for the convention and
hose claims can all be included in one

houses at harrisburg. | happen to know
much about the eX Senator's record as "A
legislator and candOr compels me to say

he nomination he will make it warm for

ust now, ! am informed, is besieged
laily with callers who urge him to run

tord that kind of diversion and your {
,eople north of the mountain, especially
he Democrats, should not only throw no
bstacle in the way, but they should en-

NOTES.
1t is just as important for the people of
he county to have good, honest, intelli |

lls5ioners as TO have the same kind Of
len in any of the higher offices.
