HUNTINGDON ROW
BECOMING ACUTE
Arrest on a Charge of Forgery
Grows Out of Fuss Among
the County Democrats
CAN'T SOOTHE IT
Philadelphia Democrats Getting
Into ST. nged Relations as
Campaign Opens

The fighting Democrats of Hunting
don county yesterday gave evidence
that they did not have much conf
dence in the peace schemes of Con-
gresham A. Mitchell Palmer, who Wis
lted that seton on Saturday and did
not care what comes of the contest
over the Huntingdon county chair
manship before the State committee
incidentally, the row got into the
courts.
Some time ago J.. Murray Africa,
Democratic county chairman for some
time, was defeated in a meeting of the
committee by Joseph Lesher. The
election was contested before the State
committee by Africa on the ground
that Walter H~erncane, a county COM
missioner, had issued a fraudulent GER
tihcate, enabling the foes of Africa to
overcome him. The executive commit
tee M a special committee to in
vstigate, but h row looked so seri-
Gus that Palmer went into the county
to quiet it down. Yesterday Africa
brought suit against Herncane and it
is animated that there will be more.
Huntington Democrats start the
campaign we'll.
Harrisburg is to have a Democratic
marching club for the first time in a
gubernatorial campaign in twenty
years or more. The
old Central Demo-
cratic club, which Central Will
was one of our most March For The
earnest paraders City This Fall
during the presi-
Dental campaign,
proposes to be right out on the march
Ing line his year and is organizing
a club to march from Market Square
to Bindnaugle's church, if occasion
arises. h marching club will be
a squad seperate and apart from the
club as it will be made up of those
who intend to apply to Candidate Nc
Cormick for jobs in the future event
of his election n of men who landed
under Wilson. Some of the old war
horses of the club are planning to
take an active part, too, A whole
new equipment will be bought, high
hats of the vintage of 1912 not being
allowed.
The Philadelphia Press of to-day
says: Internal dissensions in the
Democratic party broke forth again
yesterday I'M in dual
form. Old Guard DEM
Democrats era pictured the Re
Are In Old organizers as going
Time Row about with harmony on
their lips and a blud-
geon in their hands,
while the active workers of the re-
organizer faction itself decided to or
1AAA6 Il Niob vi NllClE WI DIS d pIO-
test against the silk stocking man
agement and the reputation of the
real workers charged against the
Palmer-McCormick control in its dis
tribution of Federal patronage. There
are thus in the field the Palmer-Mc-
cratic city committee, and the indie
pendent Reorganization Workers as
an offset to the Democratic Club. Con-
ditions in Democracy are comparable
to the European situation"
Herr Moeslein, chairman of the
Dauphin County Democratic commit
tee, is resting up preparatory to doing
some of that real
old-time cam
paign work which Herr MoesIein
will show City Keeps Hand On
Chairman Jones County Pulse
that the genial
county leader has
lost none of his energy and enter
prise. Herr Moeslein is waiting un-
I'll the corn is cut n the farmers
have more time to talk about things
trusting as well that the San Jose
scale, the army worm and the peach
borer will have been forgotten M
dollar wheat one of the least things
that the farmer thinks about. 1t will
be pointed out, doubtless, that never
was there such a year of agricultural
prosperity n that Wilson is the
cause of it all. Incidentally, these
new city chairmen will get an idea
of how to a campaign.
The billing of attractions for the
early campaign has been started by
the Central Democratic Club, and
William H. Berry, ex-State Treasurer,
defeated candidate for Governor and
present Collector of the Port, will
speak tonight on campaigns that he
has gone through.
