Washington party's State committee
last night announced that the big Bull
Moosers would gather in this city fol
la two-day conference commencing
January IA. 1t was the original plan
to have meeting here to plan the
State campaign and launch the Pin
chot boom for senator and place a
western man before the party rank
and file for governor. but it seems that
there arc some matters about which
the big chiefs ars not clear and they
will take two days to it,
The Bolton House will be the head
quarters and hall will be hired for
the speech making. William Finn ex-
poets to be here, together with a num-
ber of the leaders in the 1912 cam
paign. Whether Pinchot will be on
hand or not is not known, but 1t will
not matter as things appear to be pre-
pared for his candidacy. The boom
of Julian Kennedy for governor is
billed to be uncovered it is said.
Rallying around the flag appears to
be the popular diversion among the
Democrats and the Bull Moosers be-
cause they are arranging
for meetings in various
Rallies parts of the State. The
Order of Democratic committee
the Day men of the Northeast are
to meet at Easton and
then meetings will be
held at Pittsburgh, Johnstown. Oil
City and other places at which the
reorganizers will line up their strength
and cheer. The Progressives will hold
rallies in Philadelphia, Scranton and
possibly in the western end of the
State, following the two-day session
here.
Sheriff elect G. W. Richards, who
served as a member from Allegheny
in the last three sessions and was
chairman of health
and sanitation COM
mittee in the last Richards
House, has named two Appoints
of his colleagues for Members
places on his staff
Representative George
w. Allen has been made sheriff's SOLO
citor and Charles n. Isler, or Spike"
lsler, as he was known, is a deputy.
Horace A. McClung, member in 1909
and 1911. is also appointed to place

all tickets except the Democratic and
his appointments take in all factions
in Allegheny county.
Members of the Democratic clubs
in this city are commencing to show
their preference for the Democratic
nomination for Gov
ernor, and, much to
Democratic the chagrin of some
Clubmen Arc of the local bosses,
Getting Hot many Democrats are
decidedly in favor of
City Solicitor Mich
ael j. Ryan. of Philadelphia, and op-
posed to Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer or anyone else favored by the
reorganization gang leaders. The
mere mention of the name of eX-State
Treasurer William II. Berry appears to
thoroughly irritate men who have been
conspicuous as torch bearers the last
few years. The men active in the
clubs are doing their best to keep
down discussions.
Considerable amazement has been
caused in Philadelphia by William
Draper Lewis resignation as president
of the Progressive League
of Philadelphia right
when particular efforts are Lewis
being made by the bosses Back to
of the Progressive propa- Books
ganda to have it boosted.
Mr. Lewis has been such
prominent figure in the Washington
party's affairs that his retirement from
the limelight on the plea that his work
at the law school of the University
demands his attention has set folks
to talking.
