man SO that Doc Kreider could run

Capitol Hill unemcombered by the du-
ties of the county committee leader
ship, Judge Charles N Brumm, Schuyl-
kill, was informing the public that II
he was convinced that the people
wanted him he would be a candidate
for the Washington party nomination
for governor.
1t will be recalled that when the
slate makers met here recently that
the judge when called into the council
room for n speech did not agree to
support the ticket, but predicted VIC

heard the call. He is quoted as say
ing that the conference at which Dean
Lewis was slated by 21 to II was not
intended to bar candidates in case q
genuine sentiment was manifested.
The judge is over 10, but vigorous in
mind and body aid If he listens to the
kilograms and letters and folks urging
him to be candidate there will be u
row in the Bull Moose that will al
most come within fifty per cent. OF the
disturbances now existing in the Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania.
Announcing is the order of the day
just now and from all accounts there
Will be q lot of it within a week. Sena-
tor Penrose said in the
course of his speech at
Announcing Reading last night that
Now Order he would make an an
of the Day nouncement a b o u
Monday and DR.. Brum-
baugh is expected to
make q statement about what he will
do in response to the avalanche of
telegrams pouring in on him to run.
Speaker Alter will say whether he
will run or not within few days. He
is in Philadelphia to-day to see Dim
mick and ]. Denny O'Neil. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be other candi-

He is the first Philadelphian actively
in the field, for this post. The delay
on the part of President Wilson In
c trn i,
federal judge for the Eastern district
of Pennsylvania has brought about a
revival of the boom of O. b. Dickin-
rson, of Chester, for the place. Friends
of Dickinson thought he had q chance
because of the apparent deadlock be-
tween William A. Carr and Harry d.
Wescott. The Attorney General will
recommend several names to President
Wilson. In the western end the boss
es are busy chasing away candidates
SO that r. E. Cresswell, of Johnstown,
may get the job. Cresswell got mad at
the bosses after going along and they
want him back.

that the question should be promptly
submitted to the citizens of Pennsyl-
