Although Pennsylvania elected a
Governor to serve for four years only
ten days ago. there are some ma
neuverings under way which show that
aspirants are not forgetting 1918. Al.
ready the names of half a dozen men
have been mentioned and fence build
ing is being studied.
1t begins to look as though ex-Mayor
William A. Magee. of Pittsburgh, is
harboring some aspirations to run four
years hence and friends of Speaker
George f. Alter expect him to be a big
figure when it comes down to the cam
paigning. The Speaker was Il power
full factor for DR.. Brumbaugh in Allie
gheny county and will be much heard
from. The northwest. which has not
had a Governor. is suggesting A. f.
SisSon. who made brilliant record as
Auditor General. while Congressman
d. F. Lafean. of York. will be can
didate beyond a doubt. 1t is not ex-
pected that Philadelphia will put for
ward a candidate.
The speakership continues to hold
| much interest and an impetus was
given to the Habgood boom yesterday
| by the newspaper publishers. Repre-
sentative George w. Williams, who is
| in the hands of his friends, is getting

! pie, while r. j. Baldwin is out hunt
ing it. Baldwin says that he feels very
confident. w. I'll. Wilson is in the West
with the Wares and Will decide what to
do about his campaign.
| A couple of expense accounts ap-
peared at the Capitol to-day, but We're

| details as lack of an affidavit were dis
| covered.
The official returns from the Twenty
! eighth congressional district, which
was represented in Congress by Cen
eral w. j. Hulings the last two years,
show that eX-Judge S. IL. Miller was
| elected The judge is n well-known
] Republican and we'll known here The
vote was decisive. Miller received

S,043, and Hulings, 6,S25.
Members of the Washington party
organization in this county will meet
with members of the Progressive

who opposed the alliance with the
Democrats are expected to speak their
minds.
Official returns show that Penrose
carried Armstrong, Progressive
stronghold. by 40.
State Chairman William Il. Grow
was here for time yesterday, meeting
people on Capitol Hill and trying to
attend to q little legal business in be-
tween the congratulations showered
upon him. The chairman won q
notable victory In Fayette county,
where the Democrats and Bull Moos-
ers had him defeated six or seven times
a day and which the Democratic state
windmill had expected along with
other things which did not come to
pass.
1t is said that the boom of James f.
Woodward, of McKeesport, for the
speakership is rather more along the
line of becoming chairman of the ap-
preparations committee again than
anything else.
DR.. Brumbaugh left to-day for
Florida with his father. He will fish
and think out his problems.

delphia will have Jackson day dinners.

| DIR. w. Horace Hoskins, president of
the Democratic Club of Philadelphia,
last night called upon his fellow mem
bers to stand by President Wilson and
to forget the recent defeat, ITO forget
the criticism of faulty leadership"
Let us forget the foibles of men
whose belief in their own Judgment
has no singing rebulie," he declared.
DR.. Hoskins voiced the feelings of the
entire body OF the membership which
is opposed to the domination of the
Palmer Mccormick control in Demo-
cratic affairs. Official recognition of
the disturbed conditions in the bust
ness and industrial world following the
Inauguration of a Democratic Presi-
dent was given in the adoption of a
resolution offered by William Hey
