MCCORMICK CONTINUES MUM
Munson Unites With Brumbaugh; /;
Local Fusion Close to
the Rocky Shores

Instead Of there being fusion be-
tween the Democratic and Washing
ton parties in PENNSYLVANIA this fall
about to break out between the lead
ers and that Vance C. McCormick's
assumption of the burden of financing
the Bull Moosers as we'll as his own
party will be the sorriest spectacle
ever seen in a State campaign. Not
only have people commenced to smile
sneerfully as might be said, over the
attempt to beat Penrose by fusing on
a nomination for an office for which
Penrose is not a candidate. but McCor-
mick is. but there is a roar from Bull
MooserS to know what they are going
to get in return for putting McCor-
mick on their ticket. And now Pinchot
and Palmer are commencing to say
things about each other.
Tuesday Pinchot commanded Pal
mer to withdraw as an answer to the
Monroe mans assertion that he would
not quit. Yesterday Palmer came back
this way: Mr.. Pinchot says, accord
ing to this mornings papers. that l
ought to withdraw. He says that many
Democrats and some Democratic
county chairmen have told him l
should withdraw from the race. l do
not belong to the withdraw family.
Mr.. Pinchot represents party that
was organized as a protest against
Penrose and Penroseism in the Re-
publican party, but l represent party
that not only has been opposed to
Penrose but which also has more ad-
vocates now in the nation than those
of any other party. ] would be untrue
to that party If l did not continue to
carry its banner. and 1 believe / will
carry 1t on to victory. Not a single
Democrat has suggested to me that |
ought to withdraw from the ticket,
and / challenge Mr.. Pinchot to pro-
duce the name of a single Democratic
county chairman who has asked him
or me to take my name off the ticket.
resents better government than l. let
him vote for Mr.. Pinchot."
The effort of the Democratic city
machine to bull through a fusion
dicker on legislative candidates has
n OF yet borne fruit
but it was stated this
morning tina Herr Fusion Not
Moeslein had opes Working In
that when Boss Nc the City
Cormick came home
next time he would
be able to report to him that 1t had
been worked. Wilmer Crow, one of
the Washington candidates, has been
asked by many of his friends in his
party to stand fast and 1t was re-
ported this morning that John A.
Marshall considers his brief from the
people at the primaries just as good
as that given to Jesse joyful Dybarger.
In political circles it is believed that
the whole fusion game in the city is
nothing more than a scheme of the
Patriot to help Lybarger. 1t threw
him into the Forgettery one evening
and has been trying to square things
ever since. The only trouble is that
every time a race is run Jesse is put
up against faster horses.
The Philadelphia Press to-day says:
"Ex-Secretary of State Philander C.
Knox completely denied the published
story that he was a

the shaded veranda of the golf house
of the Merton Cricket Club. Mr.. Knox
had just returned from a round of
the course. AS he leisurely smoked a
cigar and rested he commented upon
manufacturing development in this
country with a view to extending our
foreign trade, the growth of manu-
featuring in Japan, and like the diplo-
mat that he is, barely touched upon
such subjects as the European war
and political developments in this
country"

baugh. Mr.. Munson Brumbaugh
said that the people
were tired of politics
and wanted business administration,
which he was confident DIR. Brum-
baugh would give to Pennsylvania.
He declared that the Republican
ticket would carry Lycoming county
by a substantial majority in Novem-
ber. Mr.. Munson stated that many
Democrats were dissatisfied with their
party and would turn in for DIR. Brum-
baugh and the entire Republican
ticket. A similar view was expressed
by Clarence E. Sprout, a prominent
attorney of Williamsport.
