is THERE A FUSION PARTY?
Secretary Griest Wants Court to En-
tighten Him on This Point.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Harrisburg, Sept. lS.-Judge Weiss
issued a mandamus today on Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth Griest to
show cause why he should file the
nomination paper of Albert w. John
son, candidate for representative from
Union county, under the name of
Honest Ballot party \ protest had
been filed in the state department by
counsel for the Union county Repub-
lican committee against the filing of
Johnson's paper and until the court
disposes finally of the matter. no ac-
tion will be taken on the protest.
Secretary Griest filed an answer to-
day to the mandamus proceedings in .
stituted by counsel for the candidates
for senator and members of the Ches-
ter county Fusion party to show cause
why he should not file their certificate.
The secretary says that inasmuch as
the matter had been called to the at
tention of the court he refuses to
file the certificate, and asks the court
TO determine whether or not it is his
province to ascertain if a Fusion poll
tical party, such as is contemplated
by the ballot law, actually exists.

Yesterday was another banner day"
in The Tribune's Educational Contest.
1t surpassed the previous high water
mark" by a good margin, and the
number of points turned in by the
contestants was very large. Miss Jen-
ME Myers. of Lake Ariel, alone con-
tributed % points and David Birtley,
of Providence. was a close second
with "a, followed by Charles Rodri-
pueZ with 22 Besides the splendid
showing made by these three, there
were five other contestants VINO
showed that they had begun to feel
the enthusiasm connected with an ap-
proach upon the homestretch, and
now that the race is so nearly over
they are striving with might and
main" to be we'll in front when they
come sweeping up under the wire.
Only ten more days remain to get re-
suits. The closing days of the con-
test are almost here, end points must
be sought for and obtained in as great
numbers as possible to win way into
the ranks of the successful. There
will be no time to relax efforts from
now on, and the ones who win can
not count on anything but hard work
to pull them through. This is not a
chance to demonstrate your luck or
your popularity-only personal per-
severance and constant effort Will
avail. One point may make a huge
difference in the value of the special
| reward a contestant secures, and II
he by a little extra effort could get
tnat point and doesn't, why, then, who
will be to blame?
The changes made in the standing
| this morning are numerous, but that
! is becoming quite the custom these
days. David V. Birtley started in
upon his third century and is now
not far from Rodriguez for first place
| He is 81 tallies away from Callahan
| in third position, but the latter is en-
daavoring to recover his lost ground
and the three leaders will make a very
pretty fight for fifth place. Arthur
| Kemmerer, of FactoryVille, in fourth
| place, may be the dark horse in the
race. for he is coming along steadily
day by day and has his eye on a
higher position. David c. Spencer
who has held fifth place since Labor
| Day, is this morning compelled tc
surrender it to Miss Jennie Myers, Of
Lake Ariel, who came up with rusf
from eleventh place Monday to sixth
and who now takes the fifth place
only two points behind Mr.. Kemmerer
| Mr.. Spencer drops back into sixth
place, but informs The Tribune tina
he expects to be back in his old posi-
ton soon. Eugene Boland and Harr,
Reese are close behind, however. an'
il is a very pretty race between them
Miss Fannie Il. Williams supplant
Miss Grace Simrell in ninth place, tn
latter dropping back to tenth. Fo
eleventh place, Sidney w. Hayes goe
ahead of Miss Mary Yeager, of Mos
cow who takes his old position II
twelfth. The rest of the contestant
remain unchanged. Below we publis
the complete standing OF the siXtee
active contestants.
