a number of Democratic Speedy

candidacy has irritated Democrats all
over the county, as it is one of the
boldest attempts to sidetrack a DEM

President forced the majority in
! Very Tired dorsement of Judge
Bechtel, saw President
Wilson to-day. He
| fully explained the political situation
surrounding the conference. The in
! formation was given out at the White
| House that the President was very
much distressed by the patronage
scramble in Pennsylvania between the
| Old Guard and the reorganizers. He,
| however, does not charge Mr.. Palmer
with the unsavory lottery conference.
President Wilson indicated to Mr.. Pal
mer that he would make the appoint
ment for the Eastern as well as the
Western judgeship in Pennsylvania in
the next few days William A. Carr,
1t was declared, had not been dropped
from consideration. The choice lies
between Carr and o. B. Dickinson,
with indications that the President
will be inclined to accept Palmer's
recommendation of Carr.
The Philadelphia Record of to-day
has this to say about man who was
here yesterday: William n. McNair,

lieutenant in Pitts

movement, visited the For Ryan
city yesterday after
attending the Demo-
cratic State executive committee meet
ing at Harrisburg. He predicted a
great reception for Mr.. Ryan when he
goes to Pittsburgh next week Mr.
McNar said: There may not be so
lmany officeholders present, or so many
applicants for Federal jobs, as there
were at the dinner given to Mr.. Pal
mer, but there will be more enthusi-
asm. In fact, the only enthusiastic
Ipersons at the reception for Mr.. Pal
mer were those who were applying
for post offices or who had been given
some of the Federal patronage. We
feel that we must have a candidate
like Mr.. Ryan, who stands for the i'm
provement of conditions of the ordi-
nary man, and who has a great vision
of the bettering of humanity"
