THIRD TICKET
TO Be NAMED
Pennsylvania D e m ocrats
and Republicans Are Dis
satisfied With Nominees
Now in the Field.

Philadelphia, July 2S.~-Insurgents OF
both the Republican and Democratic
parties have gathered in this city to.
day to plan the launching of third
party and the nomination OF an indie
pendent State ticket. Former State
Treasurer John .. Sheats Is n leader
i'm the movement, having the support
OF more than eighty prominent Repub'
leans and Democrats throughout the
state. IL is alleged by the indepen
dents that the Ponrose machine Is
affiliated with the liquor and corpo.
ration interests. The independent
Democrats are just as strongly oppos-
ed to the ticket headed by Senator
Webster Grim for Governor. The lea
ders predict that in view of the dis
satisfaction I'm the Republican and
Democratic ranks. the candidates nam
cd to head each ticked the proposed
third party was good chance of win
ming next November. There IL every
indication that the title Independent
Party will be chosen, because it seems
to be the most popular among tbs
anti organization followers.
II may be that the new party VIII
nominate for Governor William RI.
Berry. who is already the nominee OF
the American party. or former Mayor
Guthrie of Pittsburg, Rudolph Blank
enburg and ID. Clarence Gibboney are
also spoken OF as possible candidates.
Many OF the men connected with the
new party were identified with the old
Lincoln party four years ago. They
declare that under present conditions
liberty and jus,ice are I'm greater leo
pardy than would he possible from n
foreign invader Ard make an appeal
tn lovers OF good government to rally
to their assistance and work for noml-
nees for the high State officers who
will represent something more worthy
than personal ambitions or the deals
OF corrupt politicians.

YOUNG SCR|bES

Chattanooga. Tenn, July 2S.-Bud-
ding sBennetts, Greeleys and William
Randolph Hearsts and future Kiplings
and Mark Twains are the guests OF
Chattanooga today at the annual con-
vention of the United Amateur Asso-
citation. This organization of amateur
scribes, who write and edit and pub
lish papers for the love of literature
and not for financial recompense, has
been in existence for many years and
it's membership rolls contain the
names of many men and women who
have since attained to fame and for
tune as professional editors, publish
ers, authors and poets.
There are two national organiza
tions OF amateur journalists in the
United States and the members OF the
rival bodies have carried on a NOR.
or less bitter warfare for years. Just
what the original source of trouble
was which caused the split in the
ranks of the o!tar soc'etytbe Nation al
Amateur Press Association, and the
formation Of the United Association.

occasions since the split the heads of
the two associations have sought to
patch up peace, but the overtures
lave always come to nothing. So IL is

the hilt," among the amateur Jour.
nalists, and some OF them have shown
themselves able to give cards and
spades to professional editors in the
gentle game OF batting their esteemed
contemporaries Personal Journalism
may be on its legs. so far as the com.
mercial newspaper business is con
cerned, but the amateurs are bent on
maintaining the old traditions.
Today all is peace and good will.
however, with not hated "Napa" in
sight, and the people of Chattanooga
are determined that when the dele
gates Of today are become the famous
Journalists and authors of tomorrow.
such references as they may deign to
make Of Chattanooga will be highly
flattering to the city. it's people and
their brand Of hospitality. This is the
first time that such gathering has
been held i'm the South, but. fudgiue
from statements made today by somo
of the chief scribes, it will not be
the last.

the term OF Senator Daniel, but sal I
that he would do SO at the time that
he had suggcsted-next Monday.
When close personal friend of

today regarding his possible candidacy
he merely laughed and said that MIR.
Montague was entirely satisfied at this
