desert his departmental duties at
Washington tomorrow to come into
Pennsylvania to make speeches in be-
half of a Democratic factional tick It
appears to have put the finishing
touches to the breach in the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy. Democrats all over
the State are voicing resentment at
the interference of the administration
in the primary fight, the anti machine
element on the ground that the ma
tional administration has nothing to
ido with family row and the ma
chlnists because they say that the
wilson administration has been put in
a bad position by Bryan and that it IL
unfair to send him to make speeches
for the slate when the issue is doubt
iul enough. Democrats close to the
bosses say that Bryan's coming is i'll
Iulhllment of a promise but do not
disguise their uneasness over the out
come of the battle next Tuesday.
In this city Democrats who have
been inclined to favor Mccormick as
u matter of home pride have been
protesting all along against the inter-
terence of the national administration
in pennsylvania Democratic affairs
and those who stood for Secretary
Daniels invasion of the keystone State
are inclined to buck now that Bryan
is being called in as life saver.
| The situation is viewed at Wash
ington, according to special dispatches,
with the greatest concern by the
| President and his official
| family who are already
Wilson worried by Mexico and
| Worried other things Wilson is
by Row looked upon as candi-
date for denomination
and is greatly worried
| over a possible defeat for his per-
sonally selected slate coming so soon
after the terrific beating given to his
policy in the congressional election
in his own State. The moral effect of
a defeat in Pennsylvania would be
| tremendous Added to this incentive
| to butt into Pennsylvania affairs there
are yells for help from Palmer and
Mccormick, who led the President
into the muss and have been unable
to develop the strength they claimed.
Some dispatches say that the breach
will not be healed by November and
that 100000 Democrats have turned
against the administration.
| The warning Democratic candidates
held forth in Schuylkill and Butler
counties yesterday. Mccormick S
caravan toured parts of
Schuylkill and Northum-
| berland counties and to Warning
put it mildly, found that Parties
they were in the enemys Spoutins
country. Everywhere the
machine candidates found
people sore at the national admins-
tration and inclined to take a Graz k
at the men slated by Wilson just for
luck. In Butler county, where the
machine had things all fixed, Ryan's
aggregation stormed around and de-
nounced Palmer as a boss and de-
manded home rule with no dctation.
The usual unkind things were sad
by both candidates.
Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer
has stopped defending Vance G.. Nc
Cormick from the numerous attacks
| made on him in order to
give a little time for de-
Palmer Tending himself. Palmer
Defends has been thoroughly irri-
Himself tated by the demand that
he return to the files in
/ Monroe county his eY-
pense account for the 1910 campaign
and decalred in an attack on the men
who are harassing him in his home
county that he never received any
help from j. X. p. Hall in his fight
that year, although admits money was
given by Hall and used under his
direction for purposes strictly within
the law"
