| Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer s
defiant assertion that he will not sur
render his place on the Democratic
ticket so that the senatorial nomina
tion can he turned over to Clifford
Pinchot, the Washington party candi-
date. has been promptly met by a
statement by A. Nevin DIETRICH, the
Washington chairman, to the effect
that Pinchot will not withdraw. Thus
the situation is thrown up in the air
again. Bull Moosers in Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia are rearing and
plunging and asserting that they will
not stand for Vance c. Mccormick
unless the Democrats give something
to the ProgressIves and part of the
Progressive organization is asserting
that il will not vote for Mccormick
anyhow, because he is one of the DEM
ocrats whom Colonel Roosevelt says
cannot be depended upon to do any
good for the people.
The Philadelphia Press to-day says
that j. Benjamin Dimmick has repu-
dated the use of his name by the So
called Anti-Penrose League. Il have
not yet made any declaration in behalf
of candidates in this present cam
! paign," he is quoted as saying.
While DIR. Brumbaugh was up in
| ILycoming county with his coat off
and meeting the voters in a way that
made the Mccormick tours look like
| juvenile excursions, prominent men
all over the State were sending word
| to his headquarters in Philadelphia
that they could be depended upon
to help him. Among the men who
entered his campaign yesterday were
Isaac H. Clothier. ex-senator Bayard
Henry and Theodore C. Search, lead
ers in reform movements for many
years in Philadelphia.
Seeing the handwriting on the wall,
H. b. Sassaman and D. w. Shaffner,
| Democratic candidates for the House
in the Second Dauphin
| legislative district. quit
last night and Herr Fainthearts
Moeslein will proceed Among the
to start the machin- Democrats
cry so that Lenker and
Martin, members of
the Following of Colonel Roosevelt
who denounces Democrats, will be put
on the Democratic ticket 1t is hoped
the fusion will aid in getting votes
| for Mccormick. Sassaman, who is
in Harrisburg most of the time, but
who votes up the county, has been a
conspicuous Democratic gangster ever
since the Mccormick machine began
doing business in the present cam
paign. However, since Brumbaugh' S
tour of the upper end he has conclud-
ed that ii is not worth while running.
Shaffner is officially physician to the
county home, which job he apparent
| ly thinks more of than running for the
Legislature because it would be in
conceivable for any follower of Nc
Cormick to hold a public job and be
busy playing politics.
Determined efforts to overcome the
frightful slump in the registration and
the stampede of Bull Moosers to re-
turn to the Republican
party, the Washington
Colonel party ringmasters have
to Boost arranged to have Colo
a While mel Roosevelt make a
speech in Philadelphia
next week or a few days
in advance of the last registration day.
Boss Mccormick and Faintheart Lewis
will arrange to be there at the same
time to get the reflected glory. The
Colonel's plans, as announced in Phil
adelphia, but subject to change, call
for a three day tour of the State, in
Guiding Harrisburg, October 26 to 2S.
Other States are demanding his pres
ence and the Colonel is demanding to
know what about the rest of the flu
sion here.
A York county friend writing about
the Penrose visit to .Dallastown and
vicinity says: This strong Demo
cratic borough gave a
reception to U e
States Senator Pen York VIII
rose, and others on Help the
the Republican ticket Republicans
that was without eX-
ception the most en-
thusiastic for years. 1t was held on
the portico of the Commercial Hotel
where the senator and party, with al
most a hundred representative citi-
zens, took dinner, prior to the meet
ing. The hotel was gaily decorated
John C. Heckert. a leading cigar
manufacturer, presided. Addresses
Frank B. McClain, of Lancaster, can
didate for lieuJenant-governor, which
were received at times with great ap-
plause. The Dallastown Band fur
nished the music. A delegation from
Red Lion, which comprised twenty
filled automobiles and a band on a
large truck, met the party here and
escorted il to that borough, where
like reception, if possible, still more
enthusiastic, the large opera house be-
ing packed almost to suffocation.
Both these receptions were awak-
enings compared with the cold recep-
tions to Mccormick and other mem
bers on the Democratic ticket who
have been in this section at various
times. Appearances would surely in
dicate that business men are being
aroused to the necessity of a return
of the Republicans to power"
DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh and his
campaign party are up in Clinton
county to-day meeting the voters and
finding that the recent
Democratic tour of
Brumbaugh that district and Pin
Active Up chot's invasion have
the River been more occasions
for mirth than any
thing else. T o-d V
DIR. Brumbaugh will be in Remove and
adjoining towns and tonight will
speak in Lock Haven. Tomorrow
the candidates will come down the
river and will be at Watsontown, Mil
ton and Sunbury, winding up with
meeting in the latter town In the
evening. Thursday Northumberland
Union and Snyder counties will be
visited including visit to +he Union
county fair and to Middleburg.
