anniversary of the incorporation of
that influential organization in May
and committee of active members
is now being arranged for the event.
The celebration will be the big Re-
publican affair just before the pri-
maries and will be of more than local
interest.
City Chairman Fl. f. Owes is chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments and Aston d. Peace is secretary.
The plan is to have banquet at the
clubhouse in North Second street and
to have speakers of note to address the
organization.
The pronounced manner in which
the Wilson administration gave notice
that 1t Is taking a hand in the inter-
nal affairs of the Demo-
cracy of Pennsylvania
was not the only thing Nonpartisan
out of tune about the Idea Tramped
dinner of the Central Under Foot
Democratic Club last
evening. When diners
entered the hall they were surprised to
see placards announcing the candidacy
of Judge Gustave A. Endlich, of Read
ing, for Supreme Court judge and men
stationed at the door handing circu
lars to all corners. Some of the men
attending the dinner refused to ac-
cept them and one man handed back
a leaflet with the statement that he
supposed that the judicial nominations
were to be nonpartisan and that while
he knew Endlich was Democrat he
thought that Democrats were not re-
garding factional lines. The man in
charge said he had been given per-
mission to hand out the papers. Lat
er on several men tore up the leaf
let's and said that Harrisburg's candi-
date was Kunkel. One Democrat pro-
tested against dragging in the candi-
dacy of nonpartisan candidate, but
all he got was a laugh from the man
on the door.
Nominating petitions for Ex-Con-
gressman Daniel F. La can are in cir
culation in various parts of York and
Adams counties, q =
though the York man
Lafean May has not yet said that
Run For the he would stand for re-
York Seat nom n a t on. His
friends in York coun-
ty believe that he will
not refuse the call and are arranging
to give him strong support. If Mr..

own party and the Bull Moosers are
not strong enough to do much harm.
The Democrats are in a beautiful fight
over the ambition of Congressman A.
r. Brodbeck to be q candidate again

A Washington dispatch says the fol-
lowing about an interesting Demo-
cratic character: Absence of Sena-
tor Smith, chairman of

in accord with public Fat Office
policy have held up
more than two months
the confirmation of Elmer E. Greena-
walt, eX-president of the State Fede-
ration of Labor of Pennsylvania as i'm
migration commissioner at Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Greenawalt is one of the
labor leaders that Secretary of Labor

Democratic State leader were ignored

reported that the position was offered
him as political reward as well as a
recognition to labor in Pennsylvania"

a great crowd of neighbors, who were
generous In their approval of the op-

these matters. Mr.. Ryan, in a vigor-
GUS address, sharply attacked the "re-
