 lt is believed in Pennsylvania that ! the course of national politics will be determined by the next election in this State. Bepublicanism hopes to recover its prestige by administering a signal defeat Go tine Progressives and annihi- lating their organization The Democ- racy believes indorsement of it by the
 Pennsylvania electorate will SO in- spire the rank and file throughout the ! Union as Go make the partys over vhelming triumph in the presidential 1 eleceion of 1916 a certainty. The Pro- ! gressives hope that a repetition of their great victory in 1912 vii stay immediately the defections which have been so common elsewhere in the na- ton. revive enthusiasm and assure Col. Roosevelt more than even chance of returning to the White i House
 The candidacy of Senator Boies Pen ! rose for renomination on the Republi- can ticket is the big issue of the cam paign. Senator Penrose belongs to the Old Guard Of Republicans in the upper house. the .reacuonaries." as they are termed by the progressive element of the party. and his candida cy for reelection has been made tue first point of attack by the Republican national leaCers wno are seeking to force the retirement og the few old timers who embarrass the rejuyera- ton program.
 The anu-Penrose Republicans be- lieye they have found a Moses in J. Benjamin Dimmick, who is the oppo. sition candidate to Penrose for the Republican senatorial nomination Mr. Dimmick is a former mayor of Scran- ton, He is Yale graduate and is en- gagged in banking and manufacturing in large way. He is not in any sense of the word a radical in politics. While describing himself as a progressive Republican, he believes in a protec- ton tarif and in Republican principles generally.
 The big question is whether Dim micks excellent record and personal worth can tip the scales against the mere weight and prestige of the Pen rose machine. Another factor in Che situation is the vote of the thousands of Progressives of two years ago who have returned to the Republican fold this year as shown by the registration figures. If they should vote solidiy for Dimmick his defeat of Penro8e would be assured, but the veteran pol iticians who have been sizing up cam paisns and forecasung election results <or years declare that unless a miracle happens MT. Penrose will be nomi- mated tomorrow, and nominated by an enormous majority
 The two rival Democratic factions will each have a ticket in the prima. ries. As the choice of the Wilson administration Representative A.. Mitchell Palmer is expected to win the Democratic nomination for United States. senator. Vance c. Mccormick is the candidate for the nomination for 1 governor with Palmer for senator on the ticket of the reorganization Demo crats The opposition ticket is headed by Henry Budd, a Philadelphia lawyer as candidate for the senatorial nomi- nation, and Michael J. Ryan, city so- lictior of Philadelphia. as candidate for : governor
 Dr. Martin G Brunbaugh head of the Philadelphia schools, is the Pen rose candidate for the gubenatorial nomination. Others seeking to head the State Republican ticket are Ed ward R Wood Of Philadelphia and Joseph Caufnel of Johnstown. Dr. Martin G Brunbaugh head of ballot under the designation of the Washington Party win be Clifford Pin chot for United States senator and William Draper Lewis, dean of the Pennsylvania Law Schools. as candi- date for governor. Dean Lewis has op- position in Che person of Judge Charles Brumm but his nomination is believed to be assured
 The liquor question is figuring prom inently in the selection of members of the legislature Half Of Che lower house and an entire State senate are to be elected this year The local op- ton forces have been pursuing a Wgor- ous campaign and admittedly have Che liquor interests worried The latter are counting on controlling the State senate by a marrow majority which would place them in a position to de- feat any temperance measure. ire spectiye of the action of the lower house.
