a vacancy in the county chairmanship which
the members Of the standing committee will
be called upon to fll There is not much
doubt about Chairman Meyer resigning. The
Democratic state headquarters will be located
in Philadelphia, and as his position as secre-

sarily relinquish his present position to some
one who can he on the ground all the time

requires.
Several names have already been mentioned

EX-SENATOR KING IN A ROW
Schuylkill county politicians are discussing
little scrap that occurred Tuesday night at
Doouer's hotel, Philadelphia, in which ex-
Senator Charles f. King, of Pottsville, and
ex-State Chairman Garman figured as the
principals. King belongs to the anti Guffey
faction Of the Democracy, and always makes
his headquarters at Dooner's. 1t appears
that on this particular occasion Garman was
actively engaged in the interests
of his personal candidate for Supreme
Court. and had succeeded in perfecting
scheme by the aid of q straw"
candidate to injure the chances of the can
didate supported by Senator King which is
thought to be Judge Bechtel He was an
noyed and demonstrated with Garman, and
emphasized his remarks by dealing the ex-
state chairman blow on the chest. The
latter retaliated in kind, and then Mr.
Dooner, the hotel proprietor, took hand as
peacemaker, and soaked" Garman one be-
hind the right ear, at the same time ordering
him to leave the hotel. He did so, carving
with him big red spot behind the ear. Yes,
dear reader, the state is crowded with Dem
