.CARMAN ANSWERS
MITCHELL PALMER
Accepts Challenge and Will Make
a Tour of the State and
Say a Few Things

Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer got
Moonbeam Garman, of Luzerne
county, yesterday in reply to his chal-
| lenge for the men back of Ryan" to
go out and show themselves. The
Judge not only accepted the challenge,
but said If Palmer could not scare up
| he had offered he would pay the eX-
penses himself, preferring an unpre-
tentious day coach.
Palmer said in Altoona that he
would see that the money was gotten
for the car if the men back of Ryan
would make the tour. He did not say
which one of the wealthy men aligned
| with his faction would put up the cost
and yesterday Chairman Morris denied
| that any funds collected by the State
committee were being used in the
campaign of any primary candidate.
So the cost problem is considerably
narrowed down.
In brief, Judge Garman accepts the
| challenge and says he will go out and
| make speeches for Ryan. Then he
says that Palmer once enjoyed the
! bounty of James M. Guffey and j. *.
p. Hall, whom he now denounces, and
| remarks that at the Allentown con-
vention Palmer "Stood shoulder to
shoulder with his then source of sup
plies, Senator Hall, in support of what
Palmer now calls a bipartisan ma
chine The judge further charges
| that Palmer, after being in the inner
| circles of the management of the con-
vention, indorsed the work of that
convention by supporting Webster
Grim. its nominee.
| The judge indulges in some red hot
denunciation of the people who are
bossing the faction of the party to
which he is opposed, say
ing, among other things:
Garman Truly, Palmer is either a
Versus knave or an ignoramus,
Palmer and do not believe him to
be an ignoramus. His as
saults now upon his col
leagues in the Allentown convention
are pitiful attempts to gather to him
self few votes by the Endorsement OF
successful falsehood and misrepre-
sentation. On my tour through the
State 1 shall be glad to show to the
people the proofs of moneys con-
tributed by Messrs. Hall and Guffey to
help Palmer to founder about in Con-
gress; l shall lay bare the fact that
Palmer deceived and betrayed Judge
Gordon for the national committee
ship; and l shall show that Palmer
and Mccormick have as running
mate a man who received the sum of
1000 per year from a private indi-
vidual for services rendered the Demo-
cratic party as one of it's officials. The
Democrats Of Pennsylvania have taken
the measure of these pretenders,
Mccormick and Palmer; and the pri,
maries in May will show that boilers,
party wreckers and ingrates cannot
become the representatives of party
which since 1860 has consistently
fought for loyalty to party principles
and for a free and Independent man
hood"
The rivalry between the wings of
the Democratic party in this city is
commencing to show itself very plainly
and some of the Central
Democratic Club men are
now accusing Ryan men Rivalry
of having made fools of Crops Out
themselves in staying i'm CoSnty
away from the Jefferson
dinner because it was
great success. The machine Demo-
Gratis are declaring that the Ryan men
cannot make any kind of a showing at
the meeting to be held on Saturday
night when the Philadelphia city So
licitor is expected here. This has put
the Ryan men on their mettle and
they will make an effort to have one
of the biggest rallies ever held here
, Ryan may also be asked to visit Steel
ton later in the campaign.
