Coincident with the announcement
that Congressman J. N. Langham, OF
Indiana county. would not be candi-
date for denomination but will seek
the nomination for the judgeship in
his county in 1915 comes the state
ment by friends of Representative S.
Taylor North, of Punxsutawney. that
he may enter. the race for Congress.
The district is composed of Jefferson,
Indiana, Clarion and Armstrong coun-
ties and the last time Jefferson had
the congressman was when w. 0.
Smith, the Punxy editor. filled the
chair.
Mr.. North has been a member of
the Legislature for years, sitting in
the sessions of 1906, 1906, 1907, 1911
and 1913. He was the leader Of the
country members" in the session Of
1907 and organized the country club"
which threatened to make things
stormy for a time. Last session he
was chairman of the appropriations
committee of the House. He is an
active legislator and aroused the ire
of some of the insurgents last session.
Some of Mr.. Norths friends have been
urging him for the nomination for
Lieutenant-Governor but he Is said
to have said that Congress suits him.
Armstrong county will likely make
a bid for the nomination, as eX-Sen-
ator G. w. McNees. who wanted to
run a couple of years ago, is a candi-
date.

date for the Legislature from the city
district. The candidacy of the genial
county chairman would be welcomed
by many of the Democrats who would
like to get fair chance to express
their opinion of the methods by which
the county machine has been run. The
Stating of Nollmer and Hoffman for
the revenue jobs has made the re-
organization bosses about as unpopu-
lar as is possible among the friends of
several applicants in this city and
they would be glad to have Moeslein
as candidate. If the chairman will
not run, Jesse j. Lybarger will do just
