nation movement, but his pronounced
partisanship in behalf of Mccormick
| has irritated a number of Democrats
who are as much opposed to the idea
of states as the men favored by Palmer
used to profess to be.
The philadelphia Record says to-
! day: Opposition to Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer for the Democratic
senatorial nomination is expected to
develop in the course of this or next
| week. A number of politicians de-
clared yesterday that they had heard
that a prominent and wealthy Demo-
crat in the western end of the State
was considering the proposition of
The opposition is said to expect
strength from the fact that many
| county leaders have been estranged
| from Palmer because he framed q
slate without consulting them and also
because of the feeling against him in
his own district, where he opposed
Judge Staples for reelection last Fall.
The movement against Palmer is in no
way connected with the Ryan boom
for the gubernatorial nomination"

Ware said Watch the schoolmaster

The rather free way in which the
| name of the Lewistown Daily Sentinel
| has been used by some political propa-
gandists has caused the
editor of that paper to
write this for the bene- Lewistown
fit of all comers and Man Bucks
readers: First, l want on Report
to say out loud, plainly
and emphatically, that
this newspaper, The Sentinel, has not
become a political newspaper and
does not intend to, and that there has
not been and will not be any change
in its policy. This is declared here be-
cause quite number of people are
saying and believing that the Daily
Sentinel has become a Democratic
newspaper. They get this paper mixed
with the weekly Democrat and SEN
tinel and this is done so frequently
that the name of the later newspaper
will probably be changed to prevent
if possible that kind of confusion. The
y-tie Il
whatever boosts appear in it for par
ties or candidates will be as advertise
ments at so much per. Now, kindly
stop getting mixed"
