urer William II. Berry, launched at
scranton last week by T.. J. Lynett,
the Scranton publisher who is close
TO the Monroe congressman.
FOLKS in Washington believe that 1t
VIII take President Wilson to induce
Secretary William B. Wilson to be-
come candidate for the uncertain
Democratic nomination for governor
and the President Is said to desire to
Keep the labor leader in his cabinet.
IL is also intimated that Palmer is
awaiting hint from the White House
that no would be more valuable in
washington than as candidate for
governor and then he is expected to
say That he will not keep some more
deserving candidate out of the guber-
material race, but will be a candidate
for United States senator.
Berry was the big speaker at a
jackson day banquet at West Chester
last night and threw large floral set
pieces in the direction OF the Presi-
dent, but he laid low on State poll
ties. Judge e. c. Bonniwell, the chief
Ryan boomer, was also speaker.
Democrats in this neck of the woods
are asking if it is true that Milton o.
Shearer, of Milton. has been named as
deputy revenue col
lector. They had been
given to unders nd Democrats
that Collector Kirken- looking
dali would not start fir For Pieman
ing those sixty Repub-
leans to make way for
hungry Democrats for some time. The
folks in this section who have been
carrying torches in parades and cheer
Ing whenever told to are commencing
to wonder when the pie man is com
ing around. There should be some
nice appointments placed around

gresham w. d. B.
Ainey, of Susquehanna
Ainey Boom county for the Repub-
Worries lican nomination foI
Few Bosses senator Ainey is be-
ing doomed hard, but
has not said whether
he will be candidate. The announce
ment did not appear to worry Sena-
tor Penrose, although he said that he
would make his own announcement
in due season. The Progressives here
to-day were sputtering over the Ainey
business and declaring that it was a
Penrose trick. 1t is not liked at Dem
ocratic State headquarters, either.
The Democratic bosses are so busy
that they get nervous over a move
ment in another party.
Scoutmaster Roland S. Morris is to
be sharply interrogated by some of
the Democrats of the State as to his
failure to give a ruling
on the question of cleo
ton of a State chair Morris
man. Everyone sup Wants to
posed last year that the Hold on
Democratic State COM
mittee was included in
the committees which would have to
elect new State committeeman and
reorganize after the May primaries.
But the reorganization gangsters want
to hold on to the machine and are
now claiming that Morris must serve
out his term, which will run to De-
cember 81. In this way they hope to
stave off an election which would re-
suit in Morris being dumped.
