| Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
has shown exactly what he thinks of
the Washington party in Pennsylvania
and Clifford Pinchot has shown what
he thinks of the Democratic party by
refusing to withdraw. The time for
withdrawing nominations ended at the
/ Capitol at midnight and Palmer and
Pinchot remain in the field against
Penrose. Thus Vance C.. Mccormick
is the only one to get any benefit, how
ever slight 1t may be, from fusion. He
is the Democratic and Washington
candidate, but to-day it was found
that in spite of all the fervor of Will
liam Draper Lewis and all the talk of
patriotism and self-sacrifice, the dean
had failed to withdraw as a candidate
for Governor on the Roosevelt Pro-
gressiVe ticket. And up to noon Judge
Brumm, who switched at the meeting
of the Washington party executive
committee very late yesterday after
noon in this city, was battling to have
an unacknowledged withdrawal as
candidate of the Bull Moose received
at the Capitol
The whole elaborate scheme of fu-
sion on State offices appears to hit
snags instead of snaps.
Not very many of the Democrats
named on the Personal Liberty party
ticket paid much attention to the
command of the Dem
. ocra tic ringmasters'
Only Three committee to get off
Obey Voice the ticket because it
of Masters would hurt the Demo-
cratic State ticket.
When the time for
filing Withdrawals ended last night
Dewalt, congressional candidate in
the Berks-Lehigh district; Steele, SEN
atorial candidate in Northampton
county, and Erdman, legislative candi-
date in Allentown. had filed withdraw
ais. The rest Just stayed on, includ-
ing Democratic legislative candidates
in Reading and Northampton coun-
ties.

disastrous state of business. DR..
Brumbaugh has pledged himself for

hibitionists turn him down for Dem
ocrat whose party is spelling disaster
all over our fair land.
CAS- to the United States senator
ship, Mr Pinchot stands no show, ex-
cept to assist Palmer, who has done
his best to ruin business and is to-
day on the stump trying to mislead
the public with misstatements, saying
business is good and that we are on
the eve of unbounded prosperity. I
am for reforms, but our workmen

Word came to the city last night
that Colonel Roosevelt would speak in
Harrisburg in the middle of the morn
ing of Thursday, Oc-
tober 20. Harrisburg
is to be struck on the Roosevelt
last of the four days TO Fill One
tour of the State and Morning Date
just why the Colonel
is to make q speech
at 1916 the Washington party men
to-day could not explain, while the
machine Democrats were wondering
what it meant. Chief Engineer Mosey
has arranged for the meeting, to be
held in Chestnut Street Hall, COM
mencing at 1915 sharp. There are
rumors TO the effect that the Colonel
will be here just an hour, during
Wn1ch tlne he is TO make a speech, TO
be photographed alongside of Mosey
and Doc Kreider to be driven through
the streets and to be shown the Demo-
cratic State windmill and the Wash
ngton party banner.
A. Michel Palmer and Vance c. Nc
Corinick spoke last night in Butler
after a street parade which was led
by County Treasurer w.
NJ. Kennedy. Progressive
Bosses in leaders were there to

MooseTs lmond, of Greensburg,
who wants to represent
the Twenty-second dis
trict in-Congress. Hammond, a Pro-
gressive, is not we'll received by Dem
ocrats, who resent the bowling out of
the race of Democratic Editor Laird,
of Greensburg. County Chairman
James e. Marshall provided for plenty
of noise by hiring five brass bands and
a drum corps. Redfre was not lacking
to help take the place of real enthu-
siasm. In an effort to win back the
disaffected Democrats about all of

as vice-presidents and given a big
