PHILADELPHIA'S FAVORITE.
The Republican party is especially
favored this year with available men
for place on it's state ticket
Philadelphia friends of Josiah r.
Adams will this week take steps to
bring his candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination for the superior court
directly to the attention of the dele
gates already elected to the Republi-
can state convention and to the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania generally.
Mr.. Adams, they say. needs no intro
duction to his fellow citizens of the
