While mayors of some of the third
class cities OF the State are disposed to
await review of the decision of Judge
Fl. A Fuller. of the Luzerne county
courts. in holding that mayors may
succeed themselves. several have ap-
parently determined to go ahead and
make the fight. Mayor Kosek. of
Wilkes-Barre. whose action at law
brought about the decision. is said to
have decided to announce his candi-
dacy. Several other mayors will also
run.
Just what will be done about the
Fuller decision is not known. The
supreme Court meets next week in
Philadelphia and the case might be
gotten into the court, although a de-
cision would not be given for months,
in all probability, because of the big
ctses now pending before that tribunal.
To-day nomination papers fol
judicial candidates went into circu-
latton throughout the State. They must
be filed in the office of the Secretary
or the Commonwealth by August "a.
Petitions for nomination of city and
county candidates cannot be circulated
before next Friday.
1t is understood that an active
campaign will be launched in Cumber-
land county in behalf of Sylvester Sad
Ter, son of Judge w. f. Sadler and
one of the ablest lawyers of the Cum
berland Valley bar, for Judge. Friends
of Mr.. Sadler said to-day he would be
a candidate.

horns for the Democratic nomination
for county commissioner unless the
Democrats decide to nominate two
men. In the latter event Samuel Tay-
lor will buck the field.
d. ]. Kell. recently appointed an
associate judge for Perry county, will
be a candidate for the full term.
The Washington party city COM
mittee reorganized for another yeas
last night and there was some talk
whether it would be worth while to
put any candidates in the field. r. M.
Dunlap was chosen to lead the forlorn
hope for another year and Walter L.
Vanaman took UP the job of secretary.
The executive committee will meet
July to talk 1t over. 1t is not be-
lieved the Bull Moosers will be serious
contenders this year.
According to word from Chester.
w llllttHl ramsey Is
likely to become a candidate for mayor
OF that city. Mr.. Ramsey has served
two terms in the House and is one of
the best posted men in the State on
third class city law. Mayor William
Ward. Jr., who preceded Ramsey in
the House, may decide to run again.
Republican leaders of Northum-
berland county are in jubilant state
over largely increased party enroll
ment for the primaries next September
and 1t is freely admitted the nominees
will have the best chance for success
at the polls in November within the
past twenty years. With the fading
away of the Washington party vote
most all followers of that party re-
turning to Republicanism, Democratic
leaders are greatly alarmed over the
situation. AS a result of the increased
Republican enrolment many candi-
dates are entering the field.
A demand that the party leaders

by William A. Carr before the Pro-
gr ressive League at the Democratic
Club last night in Philadelphia. Rob
ert S. Bright urged cooperation and
harmonious action to prepare for the
next election and painted a bright pic
ture of the future of the Democracy.
Senator Penrose will speak at Get
tysburg July 3 and at Bellefonte on
July 5.
