Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-09-25

Dauphin county Bull Moosers are
not united in their support of Vance
c. Mccormick as the nominee of their
party for the governorship and efforts
to stir up enthusiasm in behalf of
the wealthy Democratic coal land
owner have been as dismal as the at
tempts to hold lively meetings of the
Palmer Mccormick League in the
Good Will engine house and other
places about the city.
To begin with, it was apparent at
last nights meeting of the Progress
siVe League, which is the talking end
of the Progressive party, that many
men who were Roosevelt followers
from principle could not understand
why the State committee of a party
pledging support to the protective
policy should accept a rich man and
an ardent supporter of the wilson low
tariff. There are some very straight
laced Bull Moosers who are outspoken
i'm calling the nomination of MCCor-
mick a surrender. just as did Judge c..
n. Brumm, and who denounce the
whole business as treachery to the
cause" Then there are quite a
numerous body, for Bull Moosers, who
fail to understand what their party
is going to get as a result of the
fusion ana WHY 10 lbl
endorsed by the Democrats instead of
being fiouted by Palmer.
Finally, there are some keen-witted
Progressives who argue that 1T is
rather singular that Mccormick is
constantly prating about bad con-
ditions on Capitol Hill and declaring
that if he goes in he will stop certain
expenditures They point out that
the Auditor Generals and State Treas
urer's departments, which hold the
purse strings on Capitol Hill, are con-
trolled by Washington party men and
remark that if things are as rampant
in the wrong direction as argued by
Mccormick there must be dereliction
on the part of Young and Powell in
falling to check them. This whole
line, they say. shows the caliber of
Mccormick, who, ii will be recalled,
has for years been berating the Auditor
Generals department.
A final effort will be made within
the next twenty-four hours to get the
fusion game into shape in the two
legislative districts of
Dauphin county so
Legislative that when McCor-
Fusion Not mick comes marching
Working Well home next time there
will be something to
tell him. The two
the Second legislative district have
been hearing from Democrats about
their surrender to the Bull Moosers
and are anxious to get the whole
business ended. In the city both
Barker and Crow, the Progressive
candidates, have definitely refused to
quit, and as Lybarger, the Democratic
candidate, is the man picked out to
be elected by the Mccormick machine
he is not going to quit. So it is put
up to John A. Marshall, the other
Democratic candidate. and they are
working on him good and hard.
Efforts to have a meeting of the
Democratic State committee that will
be a record breaker are being made at
the Democratic State
windmill and it is the
hone that the attend Meetings to
ance at the session on BE Made a
Tuesday will be a rouser Big Noise
so that word can be sent
out over the State that
Mccormick is the man the party
workers cry for. Ringing remarks
and reverberating resolutions endors-
ing the young millionaire are to be
put through and under cover the
bosses will learn Just how far they
can push Congressman a. Mitchell
Palmer toward the jumping off place.
If 1t is found that the sentiment will
