Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer is
losing his suavity He is commencing
to show the i'll temper that has char
acterized Vance c. Mccormick since
he encountered opposition in his po-
litical aims. He is also adopting the
Mccormick style of political argument.
Palmer yesterday called Senator Will
liam r.. Crow, the Republican State
chairman, a plain liar because of the
statement issued by Crow about his
activities as attorney of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad in the session of 1907
However Palmer did not deny that he
had been here as an attorney during
that session.
Palmer also opened up on NJ. Hamp-
ton Todd, former Attorney General,
who said that when the interests of
Pennsylvania are considered he was
for Penrose in preference to Palmer
every time. This statement by the
distinguished lawyer who prosecuted
the Capitol cases was a terrific jolt
for Palmer and Mccormick and Pal
mer stormed around at Sunbury last
night In an effort to answer and about
all he said was that he was not a free
trader. But he drew the metal sched-
ule, and there are more idle mills and
furnaces in Pennsylvania now than
for years.
In addition to the iabs by Todd and
Crow and the constant pointing to idle
Bull Moosers who want him to get off
the ticket in favor of Pinchot. indi-
eating that they think they should be
given something in return for taking
down Lewis and making Mccormick
the head of the mule ticket.
Palmer also has the handicap of
having been endorsed last night by
William Jennings Bryan.
Special denial of the story circulated
by Washington party leaders and re-
peated yesterday in a formal state
ment by State Chairman

dacy he conferred at the Smashed
Philadelphia home of Louis
j. Kolb with Senators Pen
rose and Oliver, was made yesterday
by Mr.. Kolb. The story is character
lied as one which does not contain
an atom of truth. Mr.. Kolb has
always been affiliated with independ-
ent political movements and not with
the Republican party. He was, how
ever, an original Brumbaugh man, is
neighbor of the Republican candi-
date and is now treasurer of the
Brumbaugh Citizens Committee.
