Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-03-17

To-day was the first of the two days
upon which the assessors sat at polling
places in the boroughS and townships
of the State to enroll men for the
May primary, and judging from re-
ports received from Steelton and other
boroughs in this county, and from the
lower end of Cumberland county, a
substantial gain in Republican enroll
ment will be shown. 1t is reported
to day that q number of men who
We're Washington party men in 1872,
and who remained out of the primaries
last year, have enrolled as Repupll-
cans, and that the number going to
! the Democrats is abSurdly small in
view OF the efforts made by REQ
machine men to induce progressives to
get over into the party of spoils.
| Men who have been observing poll
tics stated that everywhere the Bull
| Moose party is showing signs of disin-
tegration and. not even the prospects
of fight between Lewis and Brumm
can stir up languishing interest. The
Democratic enrolment Is naturally
good because both Mccormick and
Ryan men are working like beavers
to get everyone lined up In advance
of the primary, at which the bitterest
fight of a generation is to be settled.
Charles F. Meyer, of Millersburg
one of the members Of the Republican
State committee from this county.
filed his petition to be
a candidate for an
Moyer Files other term yesterday
NisSley May afternoon. MIR. Moy-
Enter Race er's petition was lib
orally signed, many
of the people who
appended their names being active
Republicans who will take a big part
in this Falls campaign. Friends of
County Chairman Hoerner are urging
that he also consent to be candidate
for another term. The legislative sit
uation in the county was given an in
teresting turn to-day by rumors that
| j. Paul Nissley, cashier of the Hum
melstown National Bank and well
known in eastern Dauphin county,
might become candidate for Repub-
lican nomination for the House. Mr..
Nissley Is well konwn and friends are
urging him to run. He has not indi-
Gated, however.
