racy held forth in two widely sepa-
rated counties yesterday, following up
trails of each other. Nc
ICormick was in Lebanon
county where he found Warning
s. p. Light and A. L. Democrats
Hartman had worked up Are Busy
things for him and that
the drumming up of
crowds is not a lost art among reor-
ganizers. Also he seems to have
found that the post office scandals and
administration tariff policies are not
popular and that Bryan stock is not
quoted high. The presence of C. 5.
Prizer, candidate for congressional
nomination, did not help either. In
Westmoreland Ryan was greeted oy
many prominent men and Judge Cope

The Ryan aggregation spoke to many
men. In Philadelphia numerous meet
ings were held by Ryanites.
