DIMMICK IS ON HIS TOUR

Democratic voters of the State must
be amazed at the manner in which
the campaign for the gubernatorial
nomination is being waged by the par
tisans of Ryan and Mccormick sixty
days in advance of the primaries, and
people who have observed politics for
years say that never have they known
anything so bitter as the campaign
ing.
The OLD Guardsmen are lining up
with their batteries, firing every day
and every night on the Boy Scouts
and while Berry and Mccormick are
touring northern counties, where the
population is small, the Ryanites, led
| by the Philadelphia in person, are
organizing in the cities.
| Mccormick and Palmer were the
| objects of couple of vitriolic attacks
| last night. Judge John NJ. Garman,
of Luzerne county,
called Palmer q

Statement mick was referred
to as one who 'by
dint of energy in
| herited the Cameronian millions.
/ Both are accused of openly opposing
William Jennings Bryan in 1896. and
they are sized up as political Hes
slams" Judge Garman's statement
was provoked by statements made by
Palmer in Scranton recently, when he
referred to Garman as tool of Pen
rose.
The statement of the Judge follows:
Notwithstanding his thorough
adeptness in mendacity, Mr.. Alexander
Mitchell Palmer fairly outclassed him.
self when, in order to bolster his gu
| bernatorial puppet, he said, The dan
ger of his candidacy to the best peo-
pie behind Ryan clearly prove the in

man, of Wilkes-Barre, has always been
q Penrose tool, Bremen, of Pitts
| burgh, is one of the old Guffey crowd,
and Jim Hall is the man who sold out
| the Allentown convention. The mon
strous ingratitude manifested in this
attack upon Senator Hall is thorough
ly characteristic of Palmer with full
knowledge that he solicited and re-
ceived campaign contributions from
Mr. Hall. Ordinary decency should
have impelled Palmer to refrain from
attacking his benefactor, especially as
with his usual duplicity he requested
Hall to make the last contribution
through a mutual friend rather than
directly to Palmer himself. In 1896,
when Palmer, the corporation hire
ling, and his mannikin, Mccormick,
who by 'dint of great energy inherited
the Cameronian Millions were openly
opposing the election of Mr.. Bryan,
they We're proud to be aiding Penrose
to elect Mckinley. Both are political
HeSSians."
Michael j. Ryan added to the
Inn
an attack on Mccormick at Altoona.
The Philadelphia
Ledger says in an
Altoona dispatch: Ryan Says

brought his candi- Syndicated
dacy for Governor
before the Blair
county Democracy here to-day. More
than 1900 persons called at his hotel.
II have seven sons voting now, to-
gether with a son-in-law that makes
eight, besides myself and you will get
them ALL" said ex-Mayor S. NJ. Hoyer,
Democratic county chairman. Many
prominent Democrats were present
but the strong Reorganization" DEM
ocrats were conspicuous by their alb
sence. \ demand was made for a
speech, and Ryan said:
II have right to seek the guber-
Material nomination and l stand on
my record. My appeal is being made
to the unowned and Embossed Demo-
Gratis of Pennsylvania. The Demo-
Gratis who have fought in the ranks
for years without office, and made bat
ties without the hope of office, will
not be deferred from doing their duty
according to their conscientious con-
victions, simply because of promises
of postmasterships or deputy internal
revenue collectorships. The Demo-
Gratis who do not care for any office
are in the majority and to these DEM
ocrats by appeal must of necessity be
made. Believing that the Democracy
of Pennsylvania is opposed to the syn
dicated nomination of Mccormick,
purpose addressing my fellow-P
sylvanians with confidence, and the
demonstration here during the busy
hours of busy day is a happy augury
of success"
During the rush some visitor ex-
changed hats with Ryan, leaving a
derby of ancient vintage and much
the worse for wear. He was obliged
to buy new hat before leaving for
Johnstown.
