M00SERS WONDER
| ABOUT THE CASH
Would Like to Know Where the
Coin For the Campaign Is
Going to Come From
DEMOCRATS In A QUANDARY
Realize That Platform Will Not
Amount to Muchin This
Strenuous Campaign

Announcement. that Colonel Roose-
welt would start his campaign at the
Progressive conference in Pittsburgh
on June 30 fell with pleasure on the
ears of the local Bull Moosers yester-
day, but when they got to thinking it
over last night they began to wonder
where the cash was to come from to
keep the machine going through the
long summer months and the strenu-
Gus Fail. The Progressives here argue
that as Mccormick will unbelt there
VIII be no trouble about the Demo-
Gratis having cash and that If they do
not have any coin the dominant party
of 1912 will look like funeral.
The Dauphin county Bull Moosers
who had plenty of cash in 1912, have
never recovered from the shock of the
announcement by William Finn here
last January that the rank and file
of the Washington party would be ex-
pected to finance this years cam
paign. If they are to fight and find
their own supplies this year instead
OF having well stocked ammunition
and commissary train there won't be
much doing.
With a view to drafting a platform
Mccormick for Governor and Palmer
for Senator will appeal
to the people for sup
Platform port, Palmer, Mccormick
Builders and State Chairman
Worried Morris gathered a. t
Washington last night.
The declaration of prin-
ciples will be presented to the State
Democratic Central Committee meet
in To nrpieI IN,r,.e
mick and Morris did not deny that the
platform is completed. The commit
tee is expected to swallow any dose
prepared for them by the Democratic
BOSSES The overwhelming majority
for Senator Penrose in the pri-
mary is the stumbling block for the
reorganizers. Palmer would not ad-
nit that Senator Penrose would be
made an issue. He realizes that he
must meet Penrose on the tariff issue
alone and that personalities have lit
tie or no weight with the voters. The
strength of DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Republican gubernatorial candidate, is
another source of worry to Palmer
and Mccormick. They admit privately
that they cannot attack the public rec
ord of DR.. Brumbaugh, who is known
from one end of the State to the other
through his connection with the
confront the tariff issue on the Sen
atorship.
Clifford Pinchot, the Washington
party candidate for Senator who
spent yesterday touring parts of Cum
berland and York coun-
ties. while the Colonel
PinChot was travelling to Wash
i'm Town ington, will burst upon
Tonight Harrisburg tonight and
the Dauphin county Bull
Moosers will give him a
reception. Mr.. Pinchot is trying hard
to overcome the handicap of the pri-
mary vote and yesterday went around
Cumberland county in company with
a number of followers of the Colonel
Art Rupley also tagged along with his
candidacy for congress-at-l Mr.
Pinchot will spend the evening here
and talk over things with the Dauphin
| men. Tomorrow he will go into
Perry county in an effort to galvanize
| the Washington party.
A. Nevin DIETRICH, the Washington
party State chairman, picked up the
wrong wire last evening in Philadel-
| phia. Encouraged by the
proximity of the Colonel
Mr.. DIETRICH, who has not Detrich's
been heard from very Outburst
much since the Washing Quenched
ton party polled such
small vote in the pri-
| mary, made some remarks intended
as a slur on DR.. Brumbaugh. He said
that Brumbaugn has no monopoly of
decency and made other remarks cal
culated to irritate the men against
whom they were uttered. When the
doctor was told about the snap of
/ I,a nat ipla ao1yn l,o
] don't think that requires any reply
except the reading of my platform -
DIETRICH has not been heard from
since
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
! filed in the Monroe court an answer,
stating that he had no knowledge of
the fact that for
| the last two months
Palmer Says his campaign eX-
He Don't Know penSe account for
About Item 1910 has been miss
ing from the files in
| the office of the
clerk of quarter sessions, and denying
that the clerk found any charging
cards indicating that the account had
been removed by him from the files.
In his oSn investigation of the mat
ter, he asserts. he found the accounts
of the clerk to have been badly disar-
ranged and mismanaged, and, further
more, nothing in that Office which in
any way constituted a receipt from
him for the account. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the only requests
for production came from persons
who were opposing him as candidate
in the present campaign and an
nounces the whole proceeding as
merely an attempt to use the pro-
cesses of the court for political pur-
