the personal followers of Nowadays
Mccormick are scouting
and organizing leagues"
with the aid of few men who are
hoping for the support of what is left
of McCormick's machine next year
when the county officers are to be
elected. The scheme is to form
almer-McCormick leagues in the
small towns, and this has been found
to be easy because there are enough
Democrats who have read of the lavish
campaign expenditures in the prima-
ries to want to be in line. Then, too,
there is an impressive list of officers,
so that those whose vanity leans in
that direction may be tickled.
While the Panic leagues are being
formed in enginehouses and various
other places throughout the county,
the famous banner of
the primary campaign
Panic Will which hoated over
Restore the Market street near
Pale Banner the Square, has been
taken in for repairs.
The excuse is that the
big storm of a week ago ripped off a
piece of Palmer's nose. AS a matter
of fact the portraits of both Palmer
and Mccormick resembled pictures
which had been taken when both had
been suffering from the shock of re-
ports about Republican strength and
the rains and winds had caused them
to grow still paler. So the storm of
fered good excuse to take down the
$l62.34 banner and paint new pictures
thereon. The Panic League, which

of defense in the Patriot Building
will hold an ice cream social on the
evening of the day the banner is re-
stored. BY that time some assurance
regarding the funds for the campaign
will be in hand and delegations from
the leagues organized at Halifax
Dauphin, Enhaut, InglenDok, Hills
dale and Rattling Run will attend.
Each visitor will be given a pink slip
emitting him to two plates of ice
cream and a look at the Patriot limo
types.
