DEMOCRATS SLATE
BEING UNCOVERED

General Curiosity About Him
Bull Moosers Having Their
Own Troubles Now

Little by little Congressman A.
Mitchell Palmer is uncovering the
slate Of the Democratic State machine
for the nominations to be made in
May.
| Wednesday he announced that he
would run for Senator. the best place,
and that Vance c. Mccormick would
run for Governor. Yesterday the ma
| chine newspapers announced that
Judge Gustave A. Endlich. of Read
ing, was the ideal candidate for the
Supreme Court, although such nomi-
nations and elections are supposed to
| be nonpartisan. And last night Will
! liam L. Greasy, professional farmer
| and head of the State Grange, which
| is not supposed to be in politics. an
nounced that he would run for Lieu
tenant Governor. Greasy has been
hand in glove with the reorganization
bosses, having gone out of the Demo-
cratic party with some of them in
1910 and came back again next year
with the contention that he was just
as good a Democrat as he was when
he was lined up with Colonel James
M. Guffey.
In a day or so, when western coun-
ties have had chance to demand
that the ticket should not be con-
centrated east of the Susquehanna'
river, Palmer will permit a western
man, possibly Bruce Sterling, If he
finds he has no show for Senator in
Fayette, to announce himself for Sec
retary of Internal Affairs, and the
support of the machine for Superior
Court judge will likely be thrown to
a northern man. Then there will be a
judicious distribution Of the four NOM
nations for Congressman at-large.
Just how this stating Is regarded by
Democrats not in the confidence of
the machine is well illustrated by this
paragraph from the
Philadelphia Record
to-day. In quoting BOssism and
Commissioner John Siate-making
]. Green, the big Are Scored
Philadelphia Demo-
cratic newspaper
says: 1--WE have abundant evidence
that Democratic workers and voters
in this city, as we'll as throughout the
State, are incensed at the bossism of
Palmer, Mccormick, Morris and
Blakslee. The revolt against the Pal
mer policy of bossism is particularly
pronounced in Chester and Delaware
counties, because of the action of the
four reorganization leaders in brush
ing William H. Berry aside and re-
fusing him a place on their ticket"

bit of fun watching the gyrations of
the Democrats and the Bull Moosers.

the fact that in
Republicans contrast to the

parties, they are
welcoming to the ranks men who went
out in 1912, and just waiting for SEN

is believed that Ex-Governor Edwin S.
Stuart, for whom there has been a
popular demand, will not refuse to
run, and if he indicates he will run
Senator Sproul, Speaker Alter, Colonel
Watres and other men who have am
bitions will line up behind him. The
quarrels in the Democratic party are
the best amusement abe Republicans
have had in a long time.
The row in the Bull Moose organi-

one candidate for Governor is threat

resolution at Thurs
days conference there Is a pronounced
sentiment among men influential in
the party's affairs to demand an open
primary. This is especially true of
the adherents of Congressman M.
Clyde Kelly,w is scheduled for elm
ination. William Finn, who told
people here a short time ago that
Dean Lewis was the best candidate and
who had that opinion while here at
the conference, is declared by the Pub,
lie Ledger to-day to be back of the
English candidacy, but other observ-
ers think tht Finn is Just using
English to line up the Lewis candi-
dacy. State Treasurer Young is
standing on the sidelines and is sus-
pected of being hopeful that condi-
tions might turn so that he would
have to be taken up as a compromise
candidate, in which event he would
accept with apparent reluctance. How
