MOOSE PLAN THAT NO
PETITION co UNIFIED

The Progressive County Committee
will meet Tuesday night for the last
time before the primaries, for the ex-
press purpose of seeing that all petit
tions for county committeeman, al
derman, town committeeman, con-
stable and justice of the peace are
fled Wednesday is the last day for
filing petitions.
1t Is probable that the two distinct
Assembly tickets, one aligned for
Edmund B. Osborne and the other for
Everett Colby, his rival for the Pro-
gressive nomination for Governor. will
be discussed. The Assembly candi-
dates from the Osborne wing have
already announced themselves. The
candidates from the Colby faction will
do so in a few days. The county COM
mittee will not openly indorse either
ticket, but 1t is known that the ma
1ority of county committeeman are in
sympathy with Colby and will there
fore lean toward his Assembly slate.

DEAL WITH KINKEAD
SOUGHT BY WTTPENNlTES
Mayor Cronin Asks Him to
Turn Down Martin.
Especial to the Newark start

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Aug. 2S.--
Congressman Eugene It. Kinkead had
only been In this city q few hours
yesterday when Mayor Matthew Gro
min, of Bayonne. representing former
Mayor Wittpenn, of this city, sought
an interview with him. The two were
in conference for several hours.
Cronin, in accordance with his in
structions, offered Knikead the
support of the Wittpenn machine
for member of the State COM
mittee, provided the congressman
would exert his influence for the
Wittpenn county ticket. Kinkead
was willing to support Boulevard
Commissioners O'Gorman and Hass,
both of whom are friends Of his, but
he refused point blank to say word
in favor of Assemblyman Charles
Egan for State Senator
He told Cronin that he was for As
semblyman Thomas f. Martin for
Senator and would do all in his power
to help nominate him. This did not
please Cronin. He argued with Kim
kead, but the Congressman stood pat
on Martin, whom he said had made
a first-ciass Assemblyman.
The Wittpenn machine would give
him its support, not that Its members
were in accord with the Congress-
man, but because they figured it was
the only way they could possibly
disrupt the Wittpenn forces.
Kinkead, It was announced today, is
in the race to stay. He will gladly
accept the Wittpenn support, but he
will not make any special plea for it.
He knows that only political eXpedi-
ency prompted the Wittpenn machine
&C. ~ l. de-
putting of Kinkead's strength. He is
one of the most popular Democrats in
the county, and in making him their
candidate the Wittpennites are i'm
proving their chances of nominating
their county candidates.

There is nothing in the provision of

A story to the effect that Robert s.
Hudspeth, prosecutor of Hudson
County and Democratic national COM
mitteeman from New Jersey. is soon
to succeed Albert S. Burleson as post
master general in President Wilson's
Cabinet, was emphatically denied at
the White House last night.
you can quote me as saying that
there is absolutely no thought of Mr..
Burleson getting out" said Secretary
Tumulty 1.-THE President regards
him as one of the most valuable MEM
bers of the Cabinet"
Rumors of trouble in the Wilson
Cabinet have been frequent since
March 4. There has been emphatic
denial from the White House every
time anything of the sort has been
reported.
A more or less common report here
for some time has been that Burleson
was put into the Cabinet mainly be-
cause Mr.. Wilson was advised that
Texas must be recognized. and that
he was given the postoffice folio as
the place in which he could do the
least harm. There have, too, been
frequent stories recently to the effect
that the President was being advised
OF personal machines being built up
by the Postmaster General and Sec
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo,
through the power of the patronage
In their departments.
The Presidents secretary branded
all these stories tonight as absolutely
without foundation. Friends of Mr..
Burleson also denied that he had any
thought of leaving the Cabinet, or
that there was any friction or dis
agreement between him and the
President. II. B. w.

The program Of the second annual
encampment of south Mississippi

The first of the encampments was
held at the Woman's college last year
before the Hattiesburg Traction Com
pany's street car line reached Tuscan
avenue, to which 1t has since been ex-
tended.
The enrolment the first year OF out
of-town visitors was upwards of 800.
The local managers think they can
reasonably expect this number to
reach 500 this year. AS the street car
service now reaches quite near the
woman's college the local attendance
is certain to be much larger.
From the program it will be seen
that a strong faculty has been secured
for the occasion and some Of the
strongest platform men of the South.
ern Baptist convention will lecture
during the course of the encampment
The Chautauqua Assembly, which for
years has been the means of attracting
large crowds of visitors to Crystal
| Springs, is suggested as type of what
this Baptist encampment annually al
Hattiesburg is to become.
That interest in the encampment Il
growing is indicated by the fact tha
applications for reservations are com
ing daily in increasing numbers.
