HARRISBURG To
TURN OUT ITS CLUBS
State Capital viii Be Well Repre-
sented in the Brumbaugh
Inaugural Procession
OLDEST CLUB STARTS MOVE
Said Now DR.. Brumbaugh Will
Make Up His Own Special
Legislative Program

The Republican clubs of Harrisburg
will take a prominent part in the in
augural procession of Governor-elect
Martin G. Brumbaugh a little more
than month hence, and it is expected
that n splendid showing will be made
by the organized Republicans of the
city Philadelphia will send two huge
clubs and plans are being made by
Republicans in Delaware, Chester,
Lancaster, Lackawanna and some
other counties to participate in the
procession.
The Harrisburg Republican Club
started things moving few nights ago
when it provided for the participation
of the club in the parade, and the
members expect to make one of the
largest turnouts in the history of the
organization. In all probability similar
action will be taken by the West End,
East End and other clubs.
Members of the Central Demo-
cratic Club are not very enthusiastic
over the prospects of celebrating
Christmas at the club. 1t happens that
the great holiday and the clubs an
nual election fall on the same day and
as there is a very bitter contest for
offices in the organization, the spirit
of peace and goodwill bids fair to be
somewhat dented. However, the DEM
ocratic Club of Philadelphia and some
other Democratic organizations are in
the same boat as regards harmony and
the Central will emerge from the cleo
ton feeling better for having fought
it out.
The fighting in the Democratic
Club of Philadelphia between the
Norris and Hoskins wings OF the re-
organizers bids fair to lead to the for
nation of the new Democratic club so
long urged by men identified with the
Old Guard wing of the party. This
club has been talked of for years and
one of the Jackson Day dinners will
likely bring it to head.
The Philadelphia Ledger to-day
says: Govern or-elect Brumbaugh will
have his own legislative program. This
was one of the chief developments
yesterday, following the Penrose-Mc-
Nichol-Vare conference, which decid-
ed, from the Organization point of
view, just what legislation should be
enacted and just what legislation
should not be enacted. While Doctor
Brumbaugh himself would not discuss
the matter, his friends made it plain
that the new Governor had ideas of
his own, Notwithstanding the dictates
of the Organization triumvirate. Point
ing out that the Governor elects pro-
cedure was not to be mapped out by
Organization leaders, they said that
he will have his own bills, not those
stamped simply by the Organization,
and that he will have the courage to
push them to vote"
City Solicitor i. C. Higbee, of
Connellsville, is advocating a legisla-
tive commission to make study of
the third class city law situation and
to draft a code of laws for the mu-
inequalities. This is the latest move
ment in the much mixed third class
city law movement.
People connected with the COM
mittee of seventy at Philadelphia say
that Notwithstanding the decision of
Republican leaders not to make any
change in the Philadelphia council,
the act to rip out the present legisla-
tive body and substitute small coun-
Gil will be presented.
Senator j. p. McNichol has gone
to Florida where he will remain until
January 2.
