YOUNG FAVOR|TE
FOR NOMINATION
Tioga County Man Forges to the
Front Among Bull Moosers
at Philadelphia
WEST ENDERS STAND PAT
Refuse to Endorse Mccormick
Palmer. Says Democrats Must
Stand by Nominee

Capitol to-day State Treasurer Rob-
ert X. Young is being very strongly
supported for the Washington party
nomination for Governor and a de-
termined effort to secure his endorse
ment will be started to-day at the
meeting in Philadelphia and pushed
in the conference on a State ticket to
be held here next week.
English is being used as COM
promise by people who want to elimi
nate both Young and Dean Lewis.
Lewis is not as strong as he was two
weeks ago and Bull Moosers who
study the signs of the times are turn
ing in for the Tioea man. Young last
night reiterated mis- statement that he
was not candidate, but if strong
movement for him begins there is no
question but what he would accept.
Members of the West End Demo-
cratic Club are having a pleasant time
of it these days because of efforts of
friends of Vance c. Nc

nation for Governor. I'm
like the internally disturbed Central
the West End club appears to have
some regard for the proprieties and
has thus far declined to allow itself
to be used by any candidate for a
nomination. Even representations that
President Wilson wants Mccormick
for Governor have failed to move
some of the members who believe in
keeping party squabbles out of the
club and the doctrine of Jersey inter-
ference Is not as popular up Third
street as it is in Market Square.
AT the Lehigh Washington confer
ence last night Clifford Pinchot was
indorsed for United States Senator.
The following slate was suggested for
the May primary: State Senator,
Robert w. Norgang, j. l.. Hoffman;
Congress, Claude T. Reno, Professor
John L. Stewart; Assembly, II. w.
Bloss, Roy Marshall, Irving TreXler,
w. Fl. Miller, Charles Reber, C. S.
Spear; State Committee, Fred o.
Raymond, r. c. Dorney.
Those picturesque battles between
the Mutchler and other factions in
| Northampton county and in that con-
jgr @ S i o a | district
which elder Democrats
recall, bid fair to break Evans Band
out again over the sue ArOuscs the
lcession to the seat now MuchIcritcs
held in Congress by A.
Mitchell Palmer. Pal
mer and his lieutenants have slated
Pennel c. Evans for the job and the
| Mutchler people and the whole anti
Palmer crowd have arranged to run
some one else. Evans is former
member of the House from Easton
and was rather mild when here He
was a national delegate in 1912 and
! followed the Wilson banner when
ever he could parade. The chances are
that there will be a diverting time in
that district this year. The last Re-
, publican elected from that district,
Gustave Schoeebeli, went in through
| Democratic split.

same again. The boom for r. d. Ir-
wing, of Carlisle, for the Democratic
nomination did not get very far out
side of Market Square. Congressman

deavoring to enlist some Democrats
in his campaign, hoping that n weak

Grover is we'll known.
He is son of a noted Democratic
leader and possessed of consider

last House. on their hands as a candi
date for the nomination and the vet
eran Robert r. Dearden may be the
an uncertain one, and in the present
state of politics there is no telling what
might happen. Dearden's friends say
he will win without trouble.
