bRUMbAUCH MEN
BECOME ACTIVE
Pushing the Candidacy Of the Phil
adelphian Because of Stuart's
Silence
BULL M0OSERS TOMORROW
They Will Try to Select a Slate
Mccormick and Ryan to
Start Campaigning

! Friends of DR.. Martin G. Brum-
baugh, the Philadelphia school super
intendent, who is being industriously
| doomed for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor. are planning to
start petitions in his behalf unless he
calls a halt on the use of his name.
DR.. Brumbaugh said on recent visit
to this city that he was too busy with
school affairs to talk politics, but his
friends have been mighty busy in his
behalf, especially since Ex-Governor
Edwin s.. Stuart continues his silence
and there has been nothing new heard
about Knox.
| The Bull Moosers will meet here
| tomorrow for another conference on
slate for State ticket, having been
| instructed by the recent conference to
| get down to brass tacks. Whether
there will be anything doing or not,
| big Bull Moosers will not say to-day.
Friends of State Treasurer Robert K.
Young are still active in urging that
he be selected as the candidate for
Governor with the partisans of Lewis
| putting forward big claims. English,
who has not had the political expert
ence of Young and who is not even as
we'll known as Lewis, is being dropped.
AS for the Democrats, no one has
called names for twenty-four hours.
| William II. Coleman, clerk of the
courts of Allegheny county and for
mer mayor of McKeesport, and w. s.
| kirkpatrick, of Easton,
| former Attorney Gen.
| Coleman and eral, are two men be-
Kirkpatrick ing mentioned for Re-
In Lmelight publican nominations
| for Congress at-large
| There has been talk OF
kirkpatrick for the district nomina-
ton, but he is brought forward for the
State nomination. John r. K. Scott is
| believed to be in line for another
nomination. Mr.. Kirkpatrick is well
known to many here, as he was Bea-
ver's Attorney General, and Mr.. Cole
man was speaker here in the Taft
campaign. He was originally for
Roosevelt, but lined up for the party
| nominee.
| Democrats of the Eighth division
of the State machine will meet on
Saturday at Wilkes-Barre ostensibly
to elect a chairman of
| the division to succeed
Fritz Kirkendall who Test Will
has had the grace to Come Soon
retire from titular on Eighth
position after b ing
given fat federal job
| In the face of applications by Doc
Dougherty and thirty-six other patrio-
| tic reorganizers. 1t is expected that a
lchairman thoroughly in sympathy with
boss methods will be jammed through
although some of the bosses are lit
tie afraid of trouble because of the
way the Luzerne machine was taken
away from the reorganization gang
| sters by the Garman fellows short
| time ago. A handsome typewriter set
of resolutions will be sent from Har-
risburg for adoption If the cat jumps
the right way.
| ID. l.. Kaufman of Highspire, who
was a candidate for Congress on the
Democratic ticket in 1912 in spite of
suggestions that he get
out of the race, persists
Kaufman in being candidate
to Run this year notwithstand-
Anyway frowns from bosses.
Mr.. Kaufman says that
he is a Democrat and
that he has voted for Democrats, not
| jumping the traces. This Is taken to
mean that he has voted for the ticket
whether he liked the nominees or not
and that his claim to Democracy will
stand the test of four years ago. Pa
pers for Mr. Kaufman are being cir
culated, although it is said that his
candidacy is not viewed with admira-
ton or enthusiasm in the vicinity of
Third and Market streets. 1T is be-
lieved that one of these days a candi
date who will have the blessing and
consent of the bosses will bob up. But
! by that time kaufman will have the
nomination sewed up judging from the
rate he is going.
The shutters will be thrown open at
the Democratic windmill tonight to
catch any word which may float in on
the breezes from York
The campaign Is to be
York County formally opened in the
Atmosphere citadel of Democracy
to Be Jared which has been going
Republican consistent
! ly of late and at a din
ner designed to honor Jefferson and
Jackson jointly speeches will be made
| by Senator Ollie James, of Kentucky,
and William II. Berry, who was de-
/ feated for State Treasurer last time
and who is now safely on a siding as
collector of customs in Philadelphia.
