MAKING UP STATES.
Democratic Candidates In
dicated by Popule
Preference.
PARTY ENROLMENT TONIGHT
Republicans Look for Vic
tins and Find Only
Sour Cynics.

There will be an enrolment OF Demo-
cratic voters tonight in the several pre-
cincts throughout the county. 1t IS de-
sired that as many voters as possible pe
mustered. as in this manner the party
leaders will be enabled to ascertain the
feelings of Democrats about the ap-
preaching campaign
1t has been customary in years gone
by 70 copy the enrolment lists, but this
year it has been decided to create new
lists. This imposes new duties upon the
committeeman, but each man is requested
to do his utmost to get out every voter
in his precinct.
The enrolment will he from seven to
nine o'clock at the places advertized IN
the columns of this paper last Saturday.
The open primaries for the election OF
the party candidates will be held one
week from tonight and the members OF
the Campaign Committee wish it under
stood that no man will be permitted to
vote at the primaries who has not been
regularly enrolled.
This rule is to be rigidly enforced, par
ticularly in districts where there is more
than one candidate for any office.
Petitions for nominations are being re-
ceived slowly by P. H. Murphy, secretary
OF the County Committee. The indica-
tions are that there will be healthy op-
position for the minor offices.
The outlook is that Allan L. McDermott
will have a wallxover for the Senatorial
nomination In those sections where it
was reported there was some opposition
to his candidacy, investigation reveals
the fact that the so-called opposition
exists only in the minds of a few narrow
minded. iukewarm Democrats, who have
invariably opposed the regular nominees
of the party
From the Investigations so far made it
has been found that Mr.. McDermott's
candidacy is satisfactory 10 the rank and
file of the party The party workers are
agreed on Mr.. McDermott, if for no other
reason than that advanced by Leader
Davis yesterday to the effect that the
party needs a bold, fearless representa-
tive, such as Mr.. McDermott, in the
Senate for the next two years.
''The party leaders have studied the
situation said a committeeman this
morning, land they know what is best
for the party. That being the case, il
is the duty of every Democrat to accept
the suggestion of the party leaders and
work honestly to put the man in Office
who they believe is qualified to fill it"
Counselor w. H. Speer is still hustling
for the Republican Senatorial nomina-
tion and, as announced in yesterdays s
News certain Republicans are doing
their utmost to prevail upon Henry Brau-
tigam to go into the Senatorial fight Mr.
Brautigam was waited on last night and
consulted on the subject of entering the
political arena Mr. Brautigam has
been i'll great deal lately, and no power,
he says, viii induce him to get into poll
ties. With Mr.. Brautigam out of the
way, either William NJ Rlink or w. H.
Speer is likely to become the Senatorial
victim.
Senator Daly's apparently Indifferent
attitude has given rise to the rumor that
he is not particularly anxious to take on
the Congressional fight Mr.. DAILY is do
ing no talking because he knows the road
to the Congressional nomination is OBJ
structed with atmosphere only.
The likelihood of having two renegade
Democrats head their county ticket has
aroused Republicans in all parts of the
county. Just at present Robert Carey
looks like a Congressional possibility,
although some Republicans say he is an
.impossible proposition" Then Speer is
looming up pretty well for Senatorial
''honors.' The result of this situation
is that some of the long headed Republi-
Taylor or Major z. K. Pangborn into the
Congressional race Flavel MCGEE can
not be induced to run and Messrs. Taylor
and Pangborn refuse to be used.
While the Republican leaders are hav-
ing a hot time trying to head their
ticket. the precinct organizations are hav-
ing a monkey and parrot of a time try
ing to get together eleven Assembly vie
