Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-05-19

tlon, VIII Just walk away with the elec-
tion.
A monkey and parrot fight is being
waged in the city for the two Demo-
cratic nominations for the Legislature.
Jesse Jobhunting Lybarger, is again a
candidate. John A. Marshall, Calder
b. Shammo and S. T. Kinsinger are
likewise running. Lybarger is the ma
chine candidate and the other three
are working on their own hook, keep
ing a keen lookout for any signs of the
double cross.
Nonpartisan-Not To-Day.
| Harrisburgs nonpartisan mayor,
John X. Royal, was playing partisan
| politics to-day. He is a candidate for
| Democratic state committeeman and
was hunting votes. Part of the time
he sat in ut the voting place of the
First precinct of the Fourth ward
| holding book just like he used to do
in DAYS before he entered nonparti-
! san office.
| The scrap between the factions OF
the Democratic party for control OF
| the state machine is reflected in the
! fight for the two Democratic state
committee seats from Dauphin county.
Royal and Herr Moeslen, the county
chairman, are the machine candidates
and Howard o. Holstein, the city
|
men fighting them. In the county out
side of the city little interest was be-
ing taken in the state committee fight
except by postmasters and prospec-
tive and hopeful postmasters. The
county has no candidates and is ap-
parently letting the city Democrats
claw each other over the honors
Republicans Doing Well.
Without any particular effort the
/ ID h
Senator Penrose's visit here last night
lined up many people for him and he
will get whaling vote in Harrisburg
and Dauphin county. The Dimmick
strength did not appear to amount to
/ much to-day.
| The candidates for the Republican
nominations for the legislature in the
( city, Wildman and SwartZ are not op-
posed and were polling a good vote.
In the county the three-cornered fight
between Nissley, Young and Gordo'
for the Republican legislative honors
attracted some attention.
This city will have fine Republican
vote in spite of the quiet condition OF
the campaign.
Great CONSERVATION was caused in
the almer-McCormick camp late yes
terday afternoon by the arrival of a
special political edition of Hearst's
New YORK journal containing a ter
rifle broadside against President Will
sons interference in the first state
wide primary and his insistence upon
the nomination of the White House
twins-Palmer and Mccormick. Sec
retary Bryan was assailed for coming
to the support of two candidates who
had bolted him as the Democratic
nominee for President in two cam
paigns.
1t was declared by the Journal that
the Presidents course was certain to
defeat the. Democratic ticket What
possible difference" asks the Journal
in an editorial, "is there between the
old system of having a boss tell the
Legislature what Senator to elect and
having the nations chief official and
his political organization select the
man and tell the citizens to run along
and endorse the selection? In either
case the effect is to take from the peo-
pie as a whole the right to freely and
without interference name the men
who represent them in the highest
legislative body they know"
1t is further contended by the Jour
nal that the picking of two candidates
and placing upon them the burden of
the administration policies in a state
which is already suffering under b
free trade tariff, imposed by the ad-
ministration, dooms them to defeat
