With the election law amendments
out of tho road and legislative mat
ters settling down people throughout
the State will now turn their attention
to the September primaries and the
meetings of county committees and
circulation of petitions for nomina-
tions will be next in order. Saturday
two Republican county committee
meetings were held and both were
marked by harmony.
Predictions of trouble in the Bucks
county Republican committee meet
ing in Doylestown were without foun-
dation. Joseph r. Grundy, the Re-
publican leader, and j. II. Swartley,
the man said to have been picked by
Governor Brumbaugh to unhorse him,
sat at the same table. Lieutenant
Governor Frank B. McClain made a
ringing Republican speech and was
cheered by everyone. Senator G. ].
others spoke. The theme of the whole
meeting was stalwart Republicanism
from the start. Grundy men were
elected to all offices, County Chairman
Fl. II. Keller being reelected.
The York County Republican Com
mittee reelected DR.. r. NJ. Stable, of
Emigsville, as chairman. Unlike the
Bucks county committee it adopted
resolutions mentioning G vern o r
Brumbaugh, who was praised for
carrying out pledges. There was a
large attendance, and resolutions were
adopted condemning the Underwood
tariff law, commencing ex-President
Taft in his efforts in behalf of the
League to Enforce Peace, and urging
the United States to move toward a
world union with an international
policing authority.
No official summary of the laws
relating to nominations, elections,
registration, expense accounts and
listing the last days for filing papers
and accounts will be issued by the
State Department this year. The
Governor it has been discovered vetoed
an item of $500 for the clerical and
other work necessary for this publica-
tton. This summary has been issued
for a decade or more and has been
guide for people interested in politics.
1t was first compiled by George ID.
Thorn, chief clerk of the State De-
partment, who continued it to last
year. Officials and politicians all over
the state have eagerly sought it, and
State committees have taken the data
repeatedly and put 1t out as their own
publication.
Notwithstanding the fact that Doc
kreider and various other Bull Moose
chieftains got jobs on Capitol Hill
and ceased from making noise the
brave little band of Washington party
men has determined to keep alive the
organization in Dauphin county. The
faithful of Dauphin county held a
Saturday and very fortunately
there were enough offices to go
around. The officers elected were: Ira
J. Mosey, county chairman; John A.
Fackler, of Linglestown; David A.
Hatz j. w. Clemson, Halifax, and DR.
G. M. Schminky, of Gratz, all vice
chairmen. L. w. Lewis was elected
treasurer. The executive committee
chosen consists of l.. c. Stevens, DIR.
b. f. Smith, DR.. j. w. Storey, George
G. Potts, DIR. NJ. l.. Wolford and
Charles e. Cooper, of the Harrisburg
district, IL. II. Walborn, Millersburg;
tin, Middletown; w. w. Lenker, Will
A. w. Whistler, Hershey,
and r. ID. Rider, Lower Swatara, Sec
ond district.
The Philadelphia single takers in
convention at Philadelphia yesterday
voted to send their congratulations to
Governor Brumbaqgh on his veto of
the election bills drafted by men con-
nected with the Republican organiza-
tion on the ground that independent
should not be hampered.
New York and Washington dis
patches say that Bryan is certain to
be a candidate for President, although
the party is not mentioned. The Key
stone Democrats, Old Guard and re-
organizers alike, will probably line
up 10 to l for Wilson.
The Governors wholesale vetoes
of election bills and his raids on salary
increases for Philadelphia caused
much comment all over the State to-
day. Likewise the veto of the full
crew bill coming so soon after the
approval of the Ship Canal bills, which
were opposed by Western Pennsyl-
Vania railroads, came in for a share
of political discussion.
The talk in Atlantic City is that
Receiver of Taxes w. F'reeland Kend-
rick may be the man agreed upon for
the Republican nomination for mayor
of Philadelphia. He is said to be ac-
ceptable to both Ware and McNichol
interests and If he is picked it is said
that Louis ]. Kolb will not be can
didate.
There is talk that James G.
Glessner, York lawyer, may be can
didate for judge against Judge N. NJ.
Wanner this year. However, Mr..
Glessner, who was a heap big Bull
Mooser, has not yet indicated. He is
Well-known to many here.
Governor Brumbaugh's Vetoes of
the election bills, announced last night,
are said to have been written on Fri
day and thought over until noon on
Saturday.
Many men connected with third
class city affairs were in hopes until
the last minute on Saturday that the
Governor would recall his veto of the
Walton bill to straighten out some of
the kinks in the original Clark act
and that he would approve 1t. Efforts
were made to interest the Governor in
such n move, for which he gave a
precedent this session, but he does not
seem to have done so.
