Superior Court Judge Frank NJ.
TreXler, who is a candidate for nomi-
nation for the full term after hav-
ing been appointed to the bench by
Governor Tener on the death of Gen
eral Beaver, has received some re-
markable tributes in the way of sup
port the last few days. In Allen
town the judges home he was unani-
mously endorsed by the Chamber of
Commerce in a strong resolution and
nomination papers have been signed
by practically every member of the
bar and by all of the ministers of Le-
high county. In Philadelphia John G.
Johnson and many prominent attor-
neys head the nomination papers for
the judge and he has been endorsed
by hundreds of attorneys. In Ale

was filled by attorneys exclusively,
eX-Lieutenant Governor Walter Lyon

Democratic machine men who have
been endeavoring to put over the
nomination of Jesse j. Lyberger, the
perennial candidate and
discusser of the in
come tax, and John A. Bosses Are
Marshal both of whom Worried in
ran before, are show This City

| 1t is said that a prominent downtown
Democrat is thinking about going into
the fight into which ex-Councilman
1 5. Il. kinSinger took a dive last week.
Kinsinger is bothering the bosses be-
cause he is taking away strength from
] Lybarger of whom many Democrats
are tired because of his activity in
seeking office. The bosses are also
somewhat depressed over the lack Of
interest being shown in the candidacy
of c. S. Prizer, the Middletown single
taxer and stove manufacturer, out

Kaufman appears to have the bulk of
the county and Cumberland we'll IN
hand and has a good organization in
Lebanon where the machine is not
popular.
j. Benjamin Dimmick and A. Nevin
DIETRICH appear to have run afoul of
each other in regard to the Washing
ton party. Mr.. DIM
mick said on Satur-
Dimmick and day that he was sur
DIETRICH on prised in his travels
Bull MoOsers about the State to
find how low tho
Bull Moosers had
sunk and that there was little party
spirit left. Only in Washington coun-
! ty did he find any real life and
! throughout the State he found little
confidence in Pinchot. Mr.. Dimmicl
said of Pinchot: HE is not q real
resident of Pennsylvania; he Is a spe-
cialist, and along special line which
does not equip him for service in the
United States Senate"
| DIETRICH, of that party, has issued a
statement of explanation and apology.
He does not dispute the tremendous
decline in enrolment as compared
with the party's vote at its high tide
during the presidential contest of 1912,
but he does assert that "every Wash
inston party enrolment in Pennsyl-
vania at this time means three votes
at the November election and this
spells victory" The State Chairman,
however, throws no further enlighten-
ment as to the spelling lesson afore-
said. He continues that while con-
tests at the primaries in the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties mean dis
aster, similar contests in the Washing
ton party mean only healthful activity
and he winds up with a plea for the
support of the Bull Moose candidates,
