row. The primary is more than a
merely county or municipal division
aHatr this year because of the contests
Tor Superior Court nominations and
the fact that so many district judges
We'll known are candidates. The great
registration and enrolment is taken
TO mean heavy voting and reports gen.
orally indicate that the Republicans
are in excellent shape everywhere and
the Democrats split over patronage
and local control
The whole State will vote between
a. m. and p. M, the regulations
being the same as on general election
days.
More candidates for judge will be
nominated in Pennsylvania at to-mor-
rows primary election than has been
known since the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendments regulating
election of judicial officials and more
candidates for the superior court will
be nominated than at any time since
the appellate court was created. Six
men are candidates for the three

| Summing up the State judicial
! situation. the Philadelphia Inquirer
to-day says: "All indications point to
the denomination of Judges George B..
| Orlady. of Huntingdon, and John B..
| Head, of Westmoreland sitting mem
bers of the Superior Court, and ].
Henry Williams, of this city. An active
| campaign is being waged in the inter-
est of former Judge William d. Wal
/ lace, of Lawrence county, for one of
these nominations. particularly in the
western section of the State. The Re-
| publtcans see in their great enroll
ment in Philadelphia an almost un-
! precedentedly large majority for their
| entire ticket. The enrolment figures
for this city are: Republican, 211, ,436;
Democratic. 24.569; Washington party,
20,110; Keystone party, 500, and Nom
partisan. 21, ,96S.'
! An interesting feature of the JEFF
| ferson county judicial campaign is
the church and family ties which bind
the three leading candidates, Judge
Reed, Corbet and Darr. All three are
members of the Brookville Presby-
terian Church: Mr.. Corbet is a trus-
tee. Judge Reed an elder, and Mr.
Darr a Bible class worker. Judge
| Reed is brother-in-law of Mr.. Corbet
and the latters mother, who ten years
ago was opposed to her sons running
for the Office. is now arrayed on his
side. Mr.. Darr is also related to Cor
| bet, though distantly. All three, to-
! gether with Whitehill, another candi-
date, live within fifty yards of each
| other.

county commissioner and county con-
troller in Allegheny. Friends of ].
| Denny O'Neil contend that he will be
nominatde tomorrow. The contest be-
tween Controller H. NJ. Cribbs, a for
mer legislator, and Senator Jack"
by opponents of the senator that he
/ is ineligible because of his member

The Philadelphia North Ameri
can says there is a probability of
Judge Davis Brodhead. a Tener ap-
pointee, being the sole nominee for
judge in Northampton.

Thomas B. Smith, the next mayor
of philadelphia. will be forty-six on

Few battles for judicial honors in
the State are hotter than that in the
Huntingdon M1ff1in Bedford district.
There are five candidates in the field.
Judge Joseph S. Woods, of Lewistown,
| is candidate for denomination and
making a campaign on his dry rec
ord. The judge has been endorsed by
a number of church organizations.

known to many Harrisburgers, is bat

The Philadelphia Ledger gave
considerable space to the suffrage out
| look. quoting every county. The out
look was given as not any too CHEEKY
for the suffragists. Dauphin and Cum
berland were classed as doubtful. The
entis were quoted as saying suffrage
was sure to lose. The suffragists. on
the other hand, contended that things
looked splendtdly.
Senator Penrose is to present sew
eral flags to churches in Philadelphia

One of the things about the Phila-
delphia campaign which has attracted
attention was the suit against various
leaders on the charge that they vio-
lated the nonpartisan law. city So
licitor Ryan said the man who brought
the suit was only a dummy.
