ments,
The names Of Superior Court Judge
George y. Orlady and OF former Judge
Dinner Beeber, who was chairman OF the
Hrumbeugh Citizens Committee, have
been added to that of Francis Skunk
Brown as candidates to succeed John c.
Bell as Attorney General John S. Killing.
Of Erie, has also been mentioned In this
connection. in addition to being possible
successor to Secretary OF tho Common
wealth Robert S. McAfee, who will prob
ably be replaced.
There is little likelihood that Doctor
Brumbaugh will retain John c. Bell as
Attorney General The Wares, who
strongly supported Doctor Brumbaugh's
candidacy, are expected to urge the APP
3 pointment Of their counsel Francis Skunk
Brown, to succeed Mr.. Bell They al
most prevailed upon Governor Tener to
appoint Brown, but Tener finally named
MIR. Bell, who had tho se-McNichol
support.
The one thing that is against the prob
able appointment of Brown Is the fact
that Doctor Brumbaugh does not favor
appointing men who are active In politics.
oRLADY A STRONG CANDIDATE.
Judge orlady is regarded as strong
baugh's home county, Huntington, and is
a warm personal friend of the Governor
elect. Judge orlady's term expires in
January, 1916. He has frequently ex-
pressed a desire not to leave the bench,
but nevertheless his name Is being mem
toned by many OF the tentative cabinet
makers.
Mr. Beeber is regarded as a remote
possibility. AS chairman of the Brum-
baugh Citizens Committee he took an
active part in Doctor Brumbaugh's cam
paign. He did this because of friend
ship and warm personal regard for Doctor
Brumbaugh. and 1t is said he would ac-
cept the Attorney Generalship IL It were
offered to him
It is generally understood that Cover
nor Tener will make several appointments
is Christmas gifts before he retires. Sec
retary OF the Commonwealth McAfee and
Walter N. Gather. Teners private sec
retary, will probably be appointed to
places on the Public Service Commission,
and the Governor Is also expected TO fill
two vacancies in the judiciary.
GATHER MAY BE NAMED.
There is at present one vacancy in the
commission. caused by the death of Ma
thaniel Ewing. Frank NJ. Wallace, of
Erie, has signified his intention of re-
signing. Gather will probably be ap-
pointed to fill the present vacancy, and
fRo vacancy that will result from Wal
lace's reslgning will be kept open by
Tener as a berth for McAfee until Tener
learns whether Doctor Brumbaugh will
reappolnt McAfee as Secretary OF tho
Commonwealth.
A vacancy in the Common Pleas Court
in Montgomery County may be filled by
Governor Tener about Christmas time.
when most of his appointments are ex-
pected.
Strong pressure Us brought to bear upon
Governor Tener. however. for the i'm
mediate appointment of successor to
the late Judge A. X. Mellen in the
Municipal Court OF Philadelphia There
are a dozen candidates for the place.
Raymond MacNeille is being urged by
the Wares, but Representative Thomas
r. AIcNichol who has the support OF
State Senator McNichol, is thought TO
have the best chance of landing the
plum. Joseph NJ. Smith, Howard b.
Lewis and Joseph s. mclaughlin are
also among the candidates for the place.
BIGELoW AMONG FIRST TO GO,
State Highway Commissioner f. NJ.

the Department OF Mines, and secre-
tary OF Agriculture A. b. CrItchneld

OF these places.
There seems 10 be no doubt that DR..

Price Jackson, Commissioner OF Labor
and Industry; AdJutant General Stew

Sehaeffer and others whose departments
have been doing good work will be re-
tAined.
Discussion in political circles today also
revolved about the legislative situation
and the probability OF Doctor Brumbaugh
having a hard hght on his hands after
ne becomes Governor. II Is believed that
the Republican Organization leaders will
try 10 prevent Doctor Brumbaugh from
forcing a local option bill through TIE
legislature, which they control and that
they will also attempt 10 insert amend
ments IN some OF the other bills that Doc
Tor Brumbaush will urge for passage.
