Adherents of the Bull Moose in this
county were in State of dismay to-
day through intimations that the sluice
gates of the Mccormick slush fund
would be put up on the Washington
party as we'll as the Democrats. This
coming on top of the statements by
| William Films close friends, that he
| did not intend to dump tens of thou
sands of dollars into the Pennsylva-
MIA campaign as he did in 1912. made
the followers of Roosevelt, who are
after public Office as keenly as the
Democrats. feel very blue.
Democrats in this city, who are
used to Mccormick methods of cam
palgning, are plainly puzzled at the
tips given out from headquarters that
| there is to be no flood of dollars, and
insist that it is all bluff to eliminate
certain fellows that McCormicks in
side gang want to keep away from
whatever credit may be given for the
vote in this county. The Harrisburg
Democrats have been asked by men
all over the State whether it is really
true that Mccormick has shut down
on dollars or whether 1t is just a
bluff
The Washington party men who
have been sitting aronud waiting the
golden stream ever since Finn
clamped Mccormick on their ticket,
are wondering what has caused the
change of heart and do not believe
that it is true.
In order to make the bluff go better
some of Mccormick friends, with his
knowledge, of course, have put out all
over the State yell
low cards offering
$50 200 Is rewards for arrest
offered in of any election
Rewards Now crooks. The word
ing is strikingly like
that so often used
by the Patriot whenever Mccormick
wanted to pull off anything in Har-
risburg. 1t is said that $4,000 has
been raised for the arrest of crooks,
which will be sad news to some of
the Democrats who were hoping that
the money would be used for "ex-
penses." The placards offering the
rewards are authorized by the Palmer
Mccormick Committee of One Hun
dred. John K. Royal, Harrisburg s
supposedly nonpartisan but really
bitterly partisan Mayor, is signer as
secretary.
With the passing of Theodore
| Roosevelt back into his own State,
Pennsylvania political campaigning
| will become local
lied. The fighting
will be in the cities. Campaign
Tonight the Repub- Localized
lican candidates will From Now On
attend great rallies
in Philadelphia and
in Pittsburgh and other cities big Re-
publican meetings will be held. The
Democrats will also commence to con-
centrate. Mccormick, thoroughly
alarmed at the strength of Brum-
! baugh throughout the country dis
tricts, is going into the Cumberland
tvalley and York county The Demo
Gratis have given up all hopes of max
| ing any impression in Philadelphia
the frosts at the Mccormick meetings
last night showing plainly that the
people are for Brumbaugh. The at
tempt to switch temperance people to
Mccormick has also failed and there
| is a general breakdown of the whole
Mccormick campaign, which is all the
more astonishing when it is consid-
cred that Roosevelt has been urging
him.
The Republican State committee has
issued a statement of registration in
the State showing that 71S,419 per-
sons have registered
| as Republicans, 1885,
Registration S35 as Democrats,
Very Heavily and only 74,16S as
Prohibition registra-
ton has dwindled to
1924 and the Socialist strength is
but 29,293. The figures show a Re-
| publican gain of no less than 445,059
over the vote of 1912. The Demo
Gratis have actually lost over $4,000
since 1912 and fallen back over 1000
since the first registration this year
The figures of the State committee
show the extent of the disgust with
the Wilson Administration and that
the people are next to the pretend
! ing of Palmer and Mccormick. The
Dauphin county registration is given
as Republicans, 1920; Democrats
6,071; Washington, 1,847. In Alle-
gheny the Republican registration is
1862 and the Democrats 20,062
and the Washington only 6,0O4. In
Philadelphia the Republican registra-
ton is 180, 900, Democratic, $4,000 and
Washington 10000. No wonder Nc
