persons have already been made for
the conference of the Washington
party people to be held in Harrisburg
Wednesday and Thursday and it is
expected that probably twice as many
will come in without giving notice.
State Chairman A. Nevin DIETRICH de-
clared in the course of fitting through
the city that he looked for 500.
The Bull Moosers who are coming
here to fix up their states for the
State Congressional and Legislative

section of the State Democratic ma

as he believed his services to the
bosses deserved more honor than per-

gazette announces to-day that he has
been selected as second assistant

title ought to satisfy Kremp il moth
