DR.. Brumbaugh will not return until
August when he will go to Pittsburgh
to attend the meeting of the State
committee and Mccormick will pay
an occasional visit to some gathering
between now and Grangers picnic
week when he will start to swing
around the circle.
The trips of Lewis, who is accom-
panied by Clifford Pinchot are Great
ing considerable amusement, as the
voters in the counties they have visited
are declining to take very seriously
mid-July visits of candidates for the
November election. 1t is said that there
is a chance of the Bull Moosers being
corralled and held until September
Chairman Roland S. Morris is ex-
pected atDemocratic headquarters this
week to look after some details and
Chairman Crow will be in Philadelphia
most of the week preparing for the
Fall.
One of the most significant of the
political meetings held in a long time
was the meeting of the Mexican coun-
ty Republican committee
at which officers were

Jones, a strong Dimmick
man, was elected county
chairman and made a speech in which
he urged support for the whole ticket.
James p. Ryan was reappointed sec
retary of the committee and ringing
resolutions on the ticket and State
administration were adopted. The
speakers at the meeting included men

including some ROOSpNalt men.

Palmer, and Mccormick have already
made inroads in the local organiza-
ton, either through the delivery or
the promise of patronage, and further
attempts to lure away ward leaders
connected with the old Guard are eX-
pected. The appointment of Adam NJ.
Joyce as superintendent of the Mint
having been confirmed, Mr.. Joyce will
assume charge of the office without

for the Palmer leadership through the

very small percentage of the appli-
cants for places in that establish
ment. The shake-up in the post office
and the failure of Collector of Gus

the civil service regulations to make
many new appointments along with
the dissatisfaction that has resulted
from the selections for the principal

Amusement political contract that
the voters of their re-
spective parties will
indorse? The story printed this
morning, giving details of plan for
fusing between the Finn and Palmer
forces in November, in opposition to
the Republican State ticket created a
mild sensation in all parties here. Re-
publicans only smiled and declared
that talk of fusion between Finn
| and Palmer meant that the opponents
of the Republican ticket might as well
admit defeat, and fusion or no fusion,
the whole Republican ticket would be
elected in November by a rd-break-

Democratic members of Congress
who have been ignored by Palmer on
questions of party policy and federal
appointments within the State, de-
clared their intention to battle for
Democratic principles, completely
| ignoring Palmer and any deal that
he might enter into with Finn. Mem
bers of the Washington or Progressive
party, in the House, were nonplussed
when they read the story. How, they
