RYAN MEN GOING To
CHASE THE BOSSES
Will Follow Up Demoralized Ma
chine in Every County
in State
BULL MOOSERS co 1T ALONE
Reorganizers in Allegheny and
Northern Tier Are Up in the
Air Over Spoils

According to morning newspapers,
the friends of Michael j. Ryan pro-
pose to follow up the decentralization
into which they have thrown the CAM
paign of Palmer and Mccormick by a
series of tours of the State by effective
workers and will have Mr.. Ryan visit
the cities on a speech-making tour.
1t is said that he may be here the
latter part of next week, but this date
has not been settled.
Dispatches about filling of post
masterships show that every appoint
ment has started trouble and that
there is a waving of hatchets in places
where the bosses expected things to
be quiet. Counties visited by McCor-
mick a week ago are seething with
Democratic brawls and the reports of
the machine meetings which have
been coming over the wires are de-
clared by men of the other side to be
written for home consumption. Forty
eight hours after Mexican county had
been visited the Ryan people formed
an organization that started work in
every precinct.
Allegheny county reports are that
the organization of the county Demo-
Gratis opposed to the machine is one
of the most effective in years and that
the reorganization leaders are dis
gusted with the prospects.
Willard f. Ritter, 1856 North Car
Isle street, Philadelphia, who gives
his occupation as salesman, late yes
terday filed petitions to be
a candidate for the, Re-
publican nomination for Unknown
Governor at the May pri- Files Set
mary. The petitions were of Papers
on six sheets, each con-
tanning 112 names, and
were signed by residents of Philadel- =
phia, Delaware. Montgomery, Bucks,
Lehigh and Northampton counties.
No one seems to know much about
him.
EX-Congressman B. X. Focht Lew
isburg, Seventeenth district, and Jesse
L. Hartman, Hollidaysburg, Nineteenth
district, filed petitions to be candidates
Tor Congress on Republican tickets in
their districts.
Petitions filed for nominations for
the House included James w. Bloom
field, Juniata, Republican, Second
Blair; Charles j. Monaghan, Girard-
Vile, Democrat, Second Schuylkill;
Ambrose Mann, Sugar Notch, Repub-
lican and Democrat. Second Luzerne.
The leaders of the Dauphin county
Bull Moosers will get together at the
headquarters tonight to outline their
plan of campaign and
it is said that any
Bull MOOSefS oVertureS for fusion
Will Go 1t with the Democrats
BY Themselves will be turned down.
Congressman Art Rup-
ley, who is on the
sliding board, has been making some
moves lately which appear mysterious
to some of the dyed-in- -the-wool Bull
Moosers and they do not propose to
go along with him. DR.. J. H. Kreider
is to stand for Congress and not to
make any alliances. George L. Reed
will probably be picked as one of the
candidates for member from the city
and Representative Lenker and Mar
tin will be run in the county. Com
miteemen will be picked out in every
precinct.
According to reports received here
from northern tier c' unties recently
visited by the Mccormick party, the
Republican enrolment
is far greater than even
Republicans expected ii Northern
to be and in some dis Tier Lines
tricts which went strong Up Strongly
ly for Roosevelt in 1912
there is little Washing
ton strength left and the voters have
lined up under the Republican name.
The Democrats are shot to pieces in
Bradford and Susquehanna counties
and it is said that they are going to
cut a sorry. figure. Friends of RYAN
followed up Mccormick and q choice
line of literature about the Harris
burg candidate was strewn along the
route.
