roe Congressman in Very
Rapid-fire Style
DISCUSSED CAMPAIGN CASH
Chairman Crow Says That Repub.
lican Success Is Already
Well in Sight

Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
was stood on his head by Senator Boies
Penrose last night as a result of the
Democratic senatorial nominee maxi
ing some remarks about primary ex-
pense funds. Palmer was rather in
cautious in an attack he made on PEN
roses friends, probably due to the fact
that things were dull and he saw a
chance to sandwich in some stuff
about Palmer between the war bulle-
| tins. He was answered so quickly
that he did not know what hit him.
1t appears that Palmer, seeking
some way to advertise himself and to
divert attention from certain prac-
tees of his faction in the Democratic
primary, made an attack upon the
Pennsylvania Manufacturers Asso-
citation which he claimed was helping
Penrose and demanded an amend
ment to the campaign expense law
which would restrict campaign con-
tributions TO individuals.
When Senator Penrose heard about
| it he made this reply:
Il am not concerned as to what
Mr. Palmer may do in this connection.
The Pennsylvania Protective Union. 1
understand, is not political organiza-
| ton, but is an association of manu-
facturers and business men who be-
| lieve that a protective tariff is essen
tial to the prosperity of the State
and the nation, and that they are di-
recting an educational campaign along
those lines.
There is an anti-local option move
ment in this State, and l presume
those whom Mr.. Palmer refers to in
this connection are strong for the cleo
ton of members of the Legislature
who will be in sympathy with their
views on this issue. 1 know nothing
however, as to their plans or pur-
poses.
IF Mr. Palmer wants an investiga-
ton he might ask the committee to
investigate the enormous expenditure
of money to bring about his own nomi-
nation and that of Vance G. McCor-
mick, the candidate for Governor on
the Democratic ticket"
Members of the Republican city and
county committees are taking steps to
see that voters are we'll informed re-
garding the important
election preliminaries
Important this week. To-day in
Election the b or u & h and
Work On townships of the coun-
ty, assessors sat to list
voters and there were
many folks who went around to see
that their names were listed. To-
morrow is the last day to get assessed

wise man will see that he is taken care
of in that respect. Thursday is the
first registration day for voters of
third class cities and the voters of
Harrisburg should attend to the list

Il ally because all previous registrations
are void, There will be two more
registration days, but the wise man
will see that he registers the first day.
Senator Crow said at Republican
State committee headquarters yester-

The next joint appearance will be

Funny stories about the visit of
Vance c Mccormick to the upper end
of the county are coming to light
every day and from all
accounts it must have
McCormick's been a trip character
Visit Was lied by mud and small
Not Success crowds. For instance
Mccormick went to
Will a m { own and
stood on a hotel porch until the folks
on their way home for dinner were
attracted by his Napoleonic attitude
Then he marched to the Post Office
where he started an address. BY the
time he had gotten under way eight
men were vigorously applauding. Co
incident with the appearance of Nc
Cormick, Brumbaugh and Penrose
buttons came out on the coats OF
scores of people. Mccormick then
went on to the other mining towns
where he found. that the men were
working One of the schemes back
of the visit was to meet the miners
but they were working and McCor-
mick was disappointed.

mind is not fully made up as to the
wisdom of fusion, though many Wash.

the thing to do would be to do the
thing that Penrose does not want
done. He is not in favor of fusion
There is no need of bringing about
fusion, however. just now. There is
