erable trepidation about the Demo-
cratic windmill in Market Square over
rumors that a new post office scandal
is due to break out in an interior
county, which has thus far been
clasSed as one of those safe for the
machine cause. 1t is said that the,
bosses have had men go into the dis
turbed district In an effort to quiet 1t
down and not allow any such eruption
as the Mattern affidavit from Snyder
county to occur.
Acting on orders from the men
higher up" Wilson Bailey has ceased
conspicuous activity and is to be seen
considerably about this city. where
there Is no danger of trouble. Promi-
nent Democrats in interior counties
have been insisting that Bailey stay
away.
The campaigns for the various
nominations are getting hotter and
hotter and the way the Democrats are
lambasting each other
is affording no end of
amusement to people Campaign

county and addressed
a big meeting in the courthouse at
Towanda, and is going into other
counties where Mccormick encoun-
tered the early Spring frosts.. Mean
while Mccormick and Palmer are
rushing about in Philadelphia and its
suburbs bearing the headquarters
flag and rapping Ryan and his back
ers with ardor. Dimmick is in Lam
caster and Chester counties to-day

tain counties. Judge Brumm shows
signs of taking to the stump to say
few things about the Lewis wing of
the Bull Moosers and everything Is
noisy and joyous.

free and wideopen discussion of the
campaign prospects
in this city and

Determine to arranged to send
Go Very Slow some scouts into
Cumberland and
Lebanon counties to

ization which exists among the ranks
of the Progressives. DR.. j. H. Krei-
der, the candidate for Congress, has
no opposition for the nomination and
is said to have decided to conserve his
energies for the campaign in the Fall.
None of the Progressive aspirants for

ton and the whole plan is now to let
things so until August. The fear that

headquarters last night.
