CHAN, Public Service Commissioner, as
| a possible candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for mayor of Phila-
delphia attracted much attention at
the Stae Capitol to-day. although 1t
was said to be doubtful IL Mr.. Mona
CHAN would accept the offer. He left
the city last night on his way to Phila-
delphia- The suggestion of his name
is said to have been made by Con-
gresham Ware. who has not yet indi-
Gated whether he will be a candidate
but who is said to be putting forward
names in the hope of averting a fight.
The general belief is that if no
agreement Is made by the middle of
next week Congressman Ware will an
nounce his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination. The situation is
rapidly attaining a position of intense
interest not only throughout the State,
but in New Jersey. Maryland and Della
ware.
The candidates. OF Superior Court
Judges Orlady and Head for renopi-
nation are being endorsed in most of
the counties of the State, over fifty
having thus far gone on record in
their favor. The Juniata Valley coun-
ties are solid for the two judges. Not
much is being heard about various
candidates for the places. but the last
week for filing papers is expected to
uncover some aspirants.

Berks orphans court bench, to-day
filed his nominating petition. He was
appointed by Governor Tener to the

term. He was formerly a Republican
member of the Legislature from Read

The visit of State Chairman Roland
MnrY-ic tn atN,
not seem to have excited the Demo-
Gratis very much. Morris and McCor-
mick talked over things last night the
prospects for the Democrats getting
beaten in most of the judicial cam
paigns and the prospects of a battle
against Morris when he comes before
the Democratic State committee for
reelection next year furnishing the
themes for conversation. Morris also
had reports of the split condition of
Cumberland-Dauphin Democrats to
dream over.
The Roosevelt declaration that he
intended to remain in the Progressive
party does not seem to have stopped
the Pittsburgh Bull Moosers. They
are all taking part in Republican party
primary contests up to their necks. In
Lackawanna county the Bull Moosers
are all playing Republican politics.
Ihe sunragists have gotten busy in
earnest in most of the counties of the
state as result of the publication of
the suffrage amendment first on the
list. The time for speechmaking is
rolling around rapidly.
The jump in enrolment OF voters
In favor of the Republicans which has
been so noticeable all over the State
seems to have occurred in North
cumberland county too. The Repub-
licans have enrolled 10,970, while the
democrats have enrolled 9,7S4, al
