MAHANOY CITY, June 30-"Don't you
fool yourself" was heard here this morn
ing after some one read that ex-senator
King would withdraw from the Senatorial
campaign II he could do so without show
ing the white feather. King is in the
fight to win and If he doesn't win 1t will
be because water doesn't seek its level.
Those who know will tell you, and back
the assertion with money If necessary,
that the ex-senator has an element be
hind him that counts in politics in this
county. He is not only strong in his own
party but has a large following among
the Republicans and has repeatedly shown
II. Mr.. King has no more fear of the re-
suit of the election than he has OF the
nomination, and he will get both.
Representative Coyle, whose nomin-
alton by the Republicans as Kings op-
pOnent Is almost n certainty, will have
one Of the hardest rows he has ever hoed
when battling for the election. He ap-
preciates the task and is apparently equal
to the emergency. To offset the detection
in the Republican ranks he counts on a
host not calculated upon by the Demo.
Gratis and his enemies, and this host will
count.
The attempt to drag the patriotic orders
into this fight will fail. Mahanoy City
won't have any OF it in het portion.
Some of Mr.. Losch's emissaries were in
town this week and were very much
gratified to find that the bald headed
statesman's fences were in good repair, far
better than some of them were supposed
to be-
1t seems that Mr.. Losch's chances have
been belittled, but Messrs. Shoener and
Brumm are mistaken il they labor under
the impression that LOsch IS only in it a
little bit. They will wake up some morn
ing and find that Losch has considerable
hidden strength and may scoop in all the
delegates.
Losch is a sly one and always sleeps
with one eye open. While not favoring
him must acknowledge that he will give
his opponents a strong chase.
The change in the management of the
Pottsville electric railway and John F.
Finney's hand in it has run that gentle
mans political stock above par. He has
shown himself a good shaper and inan-
cier and his opponents have reason
to be nervous. Without discounting their
merits l must say that the Republicans
of this district will make a mistake
If they do not nominate him for the Leg
islature. He is no stranger to Pennsyl-
vania politics and will not be obliged to
serve term or two in the Legislature be
fore being able to secure favors for his
constituents. | understand that since
making the Pottsville deal Mr.. Finney
doesn't care whether he goes to the Legis.
lature or not, but ] do not think his
wishes should be consulted in this res
pect. He should go to Harrisburg.
The announcement of Col. Scheifiy. of
Shenandoah as a possible candidate for
Sheriff, has alarmed some # the Demo
cratic candidates. Perhaps the Colonel
is not aware that he stands better
chance for the nomination than any of
the others would on account of national
ity and location. He would snit Congress
man Reilly to perfection. Neither Sallada,
McKernan nor Langton would have a
ghost of show should Scheify stand, and
Mr., Higgins would have to hustle to keep
those already pledged to him in line.
