Dauphin county's four seats in the
10 er house of the State Legislature
are attracting much attention these
will be five sets of candidates. The
presentation of the name of John G.
Nissley as a candidate for the Re-
publication nomination in the Second
district has enthused Republicans as
he is very strong all over the county,
especially in the lower end. Several
names are mentioned in the upper end.
The Democrats are having troubles
OF their own as opposition to Doc
Shaffner, the Enhaut poor board ply
s1cian, Is expected. The doctor has
started an automobile canvass and it
IS said the going has not been good.
In the upper end Pat Craven persists
In refusing to get out of the way of
Sassaman.
Bull Moosers last night decided to
name two legislative candidates in the
city. the county nominations being con-
ceded to Martin and Lenker. The So
cialists will have a full ticket, Edward
L. Rowe, Lykens, having filed al
ready.

be somewhat Of an annoyance to cer-
tain candidates these days, and Mr..
Meyers. The Palmer party will all
be here Monday for the Jefferson day

to turn the tide with Secretaries Dan
iels and Wilson.
Cumberland county Democrats are
considerably disturbed over the fac

party in the state and
are afraid of ref1ec-

Democrats now being waged for
iQuarrelling the nominations for the
Legislature. Represen-
tatives Barner and
Burnett are finding the path to re-
nomination to be very thorny and A.
NJ. Bowman, of Camp Hill. has been
making things very lively all along
the line. In the other end DR.. Peters,
of Boiling Springs, is taking advantage
of the row to get into the game. 1t
| is probable that any man advocated
| by the bosses will have trouble. The
Republicans will revise their rules at
a convention next week and at that
time 1t is probable that legislative
candidates will appear. r
| Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer's
dare to his rivals for senatorial hon
ors has been received with a good
bit of amusement here be-
cause some time ago prop
ositions of that character Anxious
were generally rejected. dars fnr
Palmer's boom for the Palmer
| Democratic nomination
was in fine shape around
here until Henry Budd announced his
candidacy and he will have to do
some stepping. 1t is said that after
the Jefferson day dinner here next
week Palmer will go back to his
district to mend his fences as he
recognizes that he will have. to fight
for his very political existence at
home. Later on he will go to Phila-
delphia to help his friends who are
in trouble all along the line because
of the appearance of Budd as a can
| didate.
