Apparently the Ryan faction of the
State Democracy does not propose to
allow the reorganization factionists to
get away with the Wilson slate for the
Democrats of Pennsylvania. Yester-
day many of the men who gathered In
Philadelphia to attend the big dinner
for Michael J. Ryan determined to go
out and fight the Mccormick slate all
along the line. The question of a can
didate against Palmer was left in
] Iabeyance, it being stated that several
men are under consideration.
According to statements made in
Philadelphia papers, DR.. Henry Sum-
merville, of Cambria county, may be
doomed for Lieutenant-Governor
against the redoubtable Farmer"
Greasy, who seems to have caught up
with the Mccormick band wagon at
State College yesterday. A. w. Bet
terly, of Luzerne, was doomed for
Secretary of Internal Affairs against
Colonel w. T. Mechling, of Butler.

of Scranton, for the honors, leaving
one hole open for some peg willing to
