Publication of the constitutional
amendments to be voted for this year
has stirred both the suffragists and
their opponents to activity and while
the suffragists are rejoicing over the
fact that the suffrage amendment is
the first on the list and claiming that
1t means $4,000 votes, the antis are
equally confident that the position Will
mean trouble.
The suffragists are having fine
time with the Liberty Bell in the west
ern end of the State and proclaim d
steadily increasing sentiment, even
among people whom they did not ex-
pect to interest so early. The antis

of the two big Cities, a corps of speak
ers to be sent into Pittsburgh late
this month and O. similar dem onstra-
ton in Philadelphia next month with
visits to the interior from time to
time. The names of half a dozen
prominent Philadelphians have been
announced as members of citizens
committee against suffrage. The
merry war is on.

to be any Democratic ruction.
Delegations from the Philadelphia
building trade yesterday asked Con-
gressman w. s. Ware to pe q candidate

first asked by the same people to be
candidate. The Congressman said he
would give the matter consideration.
John C. Kaiser, member of the last
House, is a candidate for councilman

troller of Cambria to succeed George

The Pittsburgh Gazette Times says
about j. Denny O'Neil's fight: When
Mr.. Penrose was here he did not say
that he would or would not do any
thing to bring about the defeat of Mr..
O'Neil. He simply said that he did
not owe anything to the county COM
missioner because Mr.. O'NeiI had OPP
posed him in his fight for United
States Senator last Fall. He also re-
marked that he thought the people OF
Allegheny county were capable OF
managing their own affairs"
In a review of the Reading poll

can ranks since the death several
years ago of Postmaster A. NJ. High

held them we'll, for many years. Head
ing the one faction Is former Judge
William Kerper Stevens. to whom
