been in Washington and York say,
there will be still more startling dis
closures made before the Senate prob
ing committee about some of the Pal
mer-M cCormick selections for post
offices than were made in the case of
ex-Sheriff Peeling. of York. The
Democrats belonging to that "har-
monious Democracy of which the
Market Square beagle yelps, but who
are fighting the reorganization gang
sters in York county, have been comb
ing the county and promise some rare
disclosures. Delta will come after
York.
1t is said that some of the other
held-up postmaster appointments will
be heard later on and that there will
be a shaking up of the Democratic
machine that will make it jingle worse
than when Farmer" Greasy hit a
backhander by declaring that the cor
rupt practices act had not been lived
up to, when over a dozen Palmer
Mccormick committees are said to
have failed to file reports.
Maybe the yowl of the $4,000
Mccormick kampaign kitty may be
heard in the Senate committee rooms.
Accompanied by Ezra Stoltsfus and
other adherents of the cause, William
Draper Lewis yesterday toured Lam
caster county. He visited
no less than twenty-seven
Ezra and defenSelesS I o w n S a n d
the Dean made a speech at each.
On Trip The deans tour is without
Clifford Pinchot, who is
detained in Connecticut by
his mothers illness. Dean Lewis was
in good voice and made a speech in
which he wept over the ills of Penn
sylvania and pointed out that he and
not any Democrat was the man to
cure them. The dean declines to see
any good in the Mccormick preten-
sions.
Democrats who are not so obsessed
sions that they find time to laugh at
the antics of the bosses of
the party of Jefferson and
McNair Bryan are smiling at the
Goes 1t manner in which w. N.
Alone McNair, candidate for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs on
the Democratic ticket has
been making his campaign. McNair
was nominated against the wishes of
the Little Boss and has only been
with Mccormick once on the circuit.
AS soon as he could leave the Little
Boss in the Center region he went to
Philadelphia and made campaign of
his own. McNair is a good cam
paigner and attracts considerable at
tention, which probably explains some
things.
The Paxtang borough council last
night elected j. Q. A. Rutherford, Jr.
as president. Fred NJ. Gilbert. whose
name had been presented,
declining to be a candi-
date. The election was Paxtang
unanimous. The council Council
also elected Harry w. Organizes
Grouse as the first bor-
ough clerk and named DIR.
c. M. Forney and I. r. Lyme as a
| committee to consider the selection of
a borough solicitor. The meeting was
held in the schoolhouse and the coun-
Gil discussed the general situation
without formulating any program.
Another meeting will be held next
week, at which 1t is probable that
street improvement will be taken up.
A board Of health is to be named and
other officials selected.
