of the miners throughout Westmoreland
County will be divided between Palmer
and Pinchot. Efforts made by the oper-
ators to swing their men into line as a
body for Penrose have been a failure, and
it is believed the vote of the soft coal
workers will be untrammeled. On ac-
count Of the extraordinary Roosevelt SEN
timent here in 1912 the strength Of Pin
Chot is considered an important factor
Of the campaign in Westmoreland.
Regardless of orders given two years
ago, the miners went for Roosevelt. and
now they are showing a disposition to
support his candidate strongly this year
1t is believed that the Roosevelt trip
through the county will have consider
able effect on the mining element He
enters the county on the southern border,
making a tour through the coke region
on October % Several of the rock
ribbed Democratic townships where there
is a heavy mining vote will support Pal
mer. 1t is almost a certainty that Pen
rose will be third in the running in this
county.
