North of Wilma, where the German
lines have apparently made little
progress of late, the Russians claim
to have continued offensive opera

publican Candidates For Swa-

HEARING FIXED FOR SEPT. 8
Present Incumbent Wants to Run
Again; Oberlin Squire Says He
Can't Legally Do So
HEARING FIXED FOR SEPT. 8

The legal problem as to whether or
not the treasurer of first class town
ship may succeed himself is the first
election tangle submitted to the
Dauphin county court for unraveling
and o'clock Wednesday afternoon
was fixed this morning by Judge
Henry, of Lebanon, specially presid-
ing, for hearing argument on the
problem.
Squire Martin zoll, formerly clerk
in the county recorders office and a
republican candidate for the treasurer
ship of Swatara township to-day petit
toned the court to strike from the
primary ballot the name of Oliver c.
Bishop, the present incumbent and an
other Republican candidate for re-
election. The office pays from $1,000
to $1,000 per year.
Attorney Victor Braddock. counsel
for zoll. based his contention on the
ground that Bishop by the act of 1899
is prohibited from succeeding himself.
! John C. Nissley, counsel for Bishop,
objected to the petition on the ground
that an act of 1915 amended the 1899
act in such a way that there is moth
! ing to legally prohibit Bishop from
serving another successive term.
Withdrawal Expected
Recorder o. C. Wickersham, as had
been expected, formally withdrew as

ton just few minutes before the ex-
piration of the time limit yesterday

been expected. but on Thursday he
said in reply to a question as to his
probable action, that he didn't want
to be interviewed on the subject" In
answer to a question yesterday after
noon as to his reason for withdrawal.
Mr.. Wickersham said he had decided
that his law practice will require all
his attention. This narrows the Re-
publican recordership contest to James
F. Lentz, Frank ]. Roth and William
S. Tunis.
Notwithstanding the fact that 4
o'clock yesterday was the time limit
for Withdrawals from the primary
election contests, two prospective
candidates tried to get off the ticket
this morning. One was a Derry town
ship supervisor; the other was S. l..
Drummer. Democratic candidate for
