The session will begin at o'clock

locality and the followers of the late
James Kerr seem quite as solidly ar
rayed against him in the county seat
as the natural anti-Palmerites. In his
campaigning tour of this county Mr..
Mccormick is scheduled to make all
of the towns in which there is undis.
puted Democratic disaffection.
'In many of the towns in which Mr..
Mccormick is billed to speak he will
probably have the blunt suggestion
made to him that he should withdraw
as candidate for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination and that
Michael j. Ryan should withdraw, and
the two of them get behind a Demo-
cratic candidate who could win in No
vember. In this country many of the
men with the party interest at heart
believe that the bitter primary fight
now going on will so seriously divide
the Democracy that neither candidate,
when nominated, can have a possible
chance of election"

Senator Penrose Writes
Letter on Suffrage,
Pledging His Support

Senator Penrose wrote the following
letter for use in the special Suffrage
edition of a State newspapers:
Miss Katharine S. Reed, Publicity
Manager, Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrage Association, Harrisburg,
Pa.
Dear Madam: l have yours of
18th ultimo making inquiry regarding
my position on the question of woman
suffrage. My position on this question
is well known. / did everything in my
power at the last session of the Legis-
lature to secure the passage of an
amendement providing for the submis-
sion of this question to the people of
Pennsylvania. 1t will be admitted gen.
orally that for a time 1t looked eX-
tremely doubtful whether this amend
ment could be passed through the
State Senate, and in an Interview with
a committee interested in the question
of woman suffrage ] went over the
situation carefully and did what I
could to help them secure the neces-
sary majority to pass the amendment
My position still continues the same.
believe the next Legislature should
pass the amendment and that the
question should then be submitted to
the people of the State. i shall do
everything possible at the next session
of the Legislature to secure the pas
sage of the amendment as I did In the
preceding session. My delay replying
to your communication has been due
to the fact that l have been absent
much of the time during the past few
weeks filling engagements in Pennsyl-
vania. Yours truly,
BOISE PENRosE."

The. Pittsburgh Dispatch SAYS. in
the course of an article on the McCor-

Is now in progress with much beating
of tomtoms
They had arranged a trip through
mere some weeks ago, but owing to O.
serious division in the Democratic
ranks over patronage recommenda-
uons made by Mr.. Mccormick, this
territory was passed up until an op-
portunlty was given the PaImer-Mc-
Cormlck leaders to patch up O. lot of
the factlonal differences.
The brief time Intervening since
the original campaigning tour was
cancelled has scarcely been sufficient
for the healing of the serious fac
tlonal wounds. Mr.. Mccormick is
credited with the selection of the new
Dubois postmaster Personally this
postmaster is regarded as a splendid
fellow, but the Democrats in this
neighborhood resent the fact that n
man who has held but a two years
residence here should be chosen.
"McCormick's endorsement of ihe
new postmaster at CurwensviIle has
cost him hundreds of votes in that
