Formal announcement is made in
to-day's newspapers of the candidacy |
OF Henry Budd, noted Philadelphia
lawyer and Episcopal churchman, for |

the old war horses of reform in Phila- |
delphia and Is we'll known through the |
State because of his battles against
the Republican organization and sue
cessive Democratic machines.
Coincident with the announcement |
of Mr.. Budd's candidacy and the state |
ment that an active campaign would be |
waged in his interest came the state |
ment that men opposed to machine
rule would back the following against
the White House slate: Lieutenant
Governor, John Il. Jenkins, Wilkes |

Ahairs, William N. McNair, for years
active in the reorganization movement

Palmer and Mccormick; Congress-at- !

turer. Meadville, and rival of e. Lowry |
Humes. United States district attor- |
ney; Samuel E. Shull, lawyer and
editor, Stroudsburg, friend of Judge
c. B. Staples, whom Palmer tried to
put out of business last year and failed
| ingloriously. DR.. NJ M. Dougherty, of
Mechanicsburg, was mentioned for a
| few minutes, presumably as scenery,
but excitedly took himself out of any
opposition to Mccormick by telephone.
