DEMOCRATS WAR IN
NEARBY COUNTIES
Mccormick Traverses Lancaster
and Ryan Holds Forth
in Lebanon
PERSONALITIES ARE FLUNG
Registration and Enrolment Fails
to Bring Cheer to the Democ-
racy Anywhere

The warning factionists of the DEM
ocracy campaigned within a few miles
of each other yesterday. The Ryan
people went through Lebanon county
and the Mccormick caravan dragged
It's way across upper Lancaster Con-
gressman A. Mitchell Palmer Joined
the caravan, heartening the little
crowd so much with stories that by
the time Lancaster was reached at
night the attendance register for the
meetings was once more marking
three for one. The caravan had a fine
opportunity to see the garden county
of the country and the farmer" racket
was worked hard by the candidates.
Men connected with all factions in
Lancaster quit fighting long enough
last night to attend a meeting. The
Ryan people had a bunch of automo-
biles and toured Lebanon county. STIR
ring up the strife which has existed in
that county ever since it's was re
organized" by Mccormick methods. \
big meeting was held at Lebanon with
George d. Krause presiding and many
people present.
The Philadelphia Record says of
the Lebanon situation: LAS explained
by Chairman Hersh, this county was
originally attached to ie reorganizers,
but it has broken away completely
from Palmer. 1t is known that the
distribution of postmasterships in
Lebanon, Richland. Annville and
Jamestown has played havoc within
the ranks of the former reorganizers.
Every man who was passed by to-
sether with his friends, are out to nail
Palmer's hide on the barnyard door,
together with that of Mccormick
The Republican enrolment and reg
istration in Pittsburgh and many of
the counties which were strongholds
of Roosevelt senti-
ment in 1912 have
caused Democrats to Lamentations
bite themselves in I'm Democracy
wrath. Instead of Are General
going over to the
faction ridden DEM
ocracy, men who went out of the Re-
publican party two years ago have
gone back and rebuker the gangs
which have been going about plead
ing for votes to sustain the President
The Pittsburgh registration is the
cause of much speculation and the
hackers of Dimmick cannot find any
good in it. 1t is expected that the reg
istration yesterday will show further
gains for the Republicans
Exactly why no mention has been
made of the presence of Dick Han
cock, ardent seeker after the Will
Jamestown post office,
at various meetings
Hancock Is held by the McCor-
Confident mick caravan in Phia-
OF Success delphia and elsewhere,
H- E is not known. Dick
was at one meeting in
Philadelphia and was so worked up by
something written about it that he
hurriedly wrote letter to the mourn
ing Patriot. Friends of Dick, who
have met him in Philadelphia say
that he has been enthusiastic over the
attendance at the Mccormick meet
ings, but more over the applause in
which he would naturally bear a lead
ing part 1t is said that Dick is pass
ing out the tip that he will be post
master at Williamstown sure. No state
ment as to whether Hancock is travel
ing with the party as chief mechani-
clan of the applause has been made at
Democratic State headquarters.
