partisan Petitions in Behalf
of Trexler Today

Dauphin and Cumberland county
Democrats were greatly stirred up to-
day over the prospects for the Ryan
mass meeting at Chestnut Street Audi
torium tonight, and the rivalries
which have been engendered by the
candidates. for Governor which have
split the party, cropped out in many
ways. Members of the Central Demo-
cratic Club were asserting that the
Ryan people would have to go some to
beat last Mondays dinner, and the
Ryan people were coming back with
promises to make it look dizzy. Stories
were afioat that some of the McCor-
mick men were going to the meeting
prepared to ask questions. Much re-
sentiment at the invasion" of Har-
risburs, as it was termed, was shown
! by adherents of the machine faction
OF the Democrats.
The Ryan party is due to arrive at
$50 from Williamsport and will be
escorted to the Bolton, where a recep-
| ton will be held. At the mass meet
ing will begin at Chestnut Street Audi
torium with eX-Congressman B. +.

ator: William *. Meyers, candidate
for Congress -at-large, and those two
sharp -tongued commentators on the
men and practices of the reorganiza-
ton machine. Eugene c. Bonniwell
and Senator Richard V. Farley. The
meeting should be very interesting to

in which Senator Farley has discussed
events in past municipal administra-
tions.
Mayor Royal and Herr Noeslein
yesterday afternoon placed on file
their papers to be candidates for State
committeeman from this
county, they being the
Dauphin men selected by the ma
Papers chine to represent Dau-
Entered phin. Whether they will
have any opposition will
develop next Monday but
there were rumors that there would
be something doing. Wilmer Grow,
who filed n petition to be a Prohibi-
ton candidate for the House yester-
day, put on record a Washington
party petition for Legislature in the
city district, while Sam T. Kinsinger,
SA-CllS COuHcllHldI SnOWeu lndt tne
machine booming CT Lybarger had no
terrors for him and put on record his
papers as a candidate for Democratic
nomination for the House. This puts
four candidates in the field. There
were some interesting papers entered
yesterday. Edward r. Wood, a real
estate man of Philadelphia, took u
notion to run as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
a. I Il int, Of 4 nf.1- f,D,,
the Supreme bench.
The rivals for the Subernatorial and
senatorial nominations of the Demo-
| Gratis swept through half dozen
counties Yesterday,
carrying the stand
ards of fractional Democratic
warfare. In coun- Factions at
ties of Palmers Ii Very Hard
| home district the
campaigners worked
overtime, evidently because things are
in bad shape. and the usual attacks
were made on everyone who does not
agree with them. The PHILADELPHIA
Ledger to-day says that Ryan has
made big gains as a result of his tour
of Clearfield and Centre counties, and
that the factionalism and blunders of
the reorganizers have lost the ma
chine much strength. Apparently
Ryan is making headway, judging
from the way the Ledger puts it. Next
week Mccormick will go into Phila-
delphia and the Ryan men plan coun-
ter meetings. Secretary of Labor Will
son yesterday quit the Mccormick
party and went back to Washington.
