GETTING RECKLESS
Some Are Filing Papers For Nomi.

One Party's Man
MORE FOR JUDGE TREXLER
Allegheny County Adds aPetition
For the Superior Court
Judge Today

Candidates for the Legislature do
not appear to be troubling themselves
any more about staying within party
lines than they did two years ago. A
number have filed papers to be candi-
dates on both Republican and Demo-
cratic tickets and one man has filed
papers to run as Republican and
Washington candidate. Most of these
dual nomination petitions seem to
have come from the anthracite re-
gions, although requests have been
made at the Capitol for papers on diff
ferent tickets in behalf of the same
candidate ,
One of the remarkable things about
the filing of papers appears to be the
manner in which the Socialists are fill
ing papers. They have already enter
ed about forty, covering congress,
senator and representative and cor
respondence shows that more may be
expected.
Judge T. NJ. Trexler, of the Superior
Court, is the only one to file any nomi-
nation petitions for the State courts
None of the aspirants
for Supreme Court has
entered papers, OIL More Papers
though four are ex- are Filed
pected. Judge Trexler For Trexier
Twill probably be unop-
posed unless the Pro-
hibitionistS re-enter the papers for
Clark, of Philadelphia, whose papers
were found short of the required num-
Der. Supplemental papers for Judge
Trexler were filed again to-day, a pa
per from Allegheny signed by many
prominent men, including lawyers, be-
from Mercer and Jefferson were enter
ed for him.
Democrats from every section of the
State will gather in Harrisburg the
early part of next week and 1t is likely
that sharp factional
lines will develop if
Democrats any attempt is made
| ook For 10 have the meeting of
Dynamite the Democratic State
committee endorse any
candidates for nomina-
tions to be made at the May primary.
The Democrats are coming for the an
nuai Jefferson day dinner of the Cen
trail Democratic Club on Monday night
and the meeting of the Democratic
State committee on Tuesday morning.
The dinner is to be held In the same
place where William j. Bryan made
his speech to the club last year and
the expectation is that 700 persons
will attend. The speakers will be Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels and Sec
retary of Labor Wilson, the latter a
speaker at recent dinners of the club;
| Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, State
| Chairman Roland S. Morris and Vance
tC. Mccormick, the latter an active
member of the club. The meeting of
| the State committee is called ito re-
ceive and act upon q report from the
committee appointed to revise the
rules of the party and to transact such
other business as may be properly
brought before the meeting" Men
connected with politics see an opening
for a fight in the common phrase as
to the purpose of the meeting as any
thing may be in order and in the
present desperate state of the Palmer
Mccormick campaign anything may
be attempted to gain an advantage
The reorganizers are believed to have
control of the committee, but not as
strongly as a few months ago.
