The extent of the row which has
broken out in the Democrtic party be-
cause of the manner in which A.
Mitchell Palmer has run the machine
Is shown up by the lineup of the
tavorites in the machine advertise
ments. A few years ago Wilson Bailey,
w. n. McNair, Jesse II. Wise, w. A.
Hagerty and Martin Jennings Cation
were hand in glove with Palmer and
his pals. Now they are not on the
slate and the machine is paying good
money to advertise the fact.
The daily interchange of remarks
between Palmer and Liebel is becom-
ing amusing. Liebel came out in
Philadelphia last night with a sharp
retort to Palmer's speech of the night
before and stated that the troubles of
the Democracy were due to incompe-
tent leadership.
1t is intimated in Philadelphia
that Senator. Penrose may fight the
Smith loan bills. This will add to the
complications of an already much
mixed campaign.
More than one million stickers bear
ing the name of Henry Ford have been
sent broadcast throughout the State of
pennsylvania by the Patriotic Peace
League of Philadelphia. According to
j. Augustus Cadwallader, the chair
man of the campaign committee. the
sticking of Mr.. Ford's name on the
ballot in the approaching preferential
primaries will be n protest against the
preparedness madness" which has
oVertaken the nation. The Detroit
peace advocate is not directly con-
cerned in the movement to have Penn
sylvania fall in line with Michigan and
Nebraska In indorsing him for the
presidency of the United States. Cad
wallader declared this emphatically
yesterday. He exhibited a telegram
from Mr.. Ford's secretary which read:
Go as far as you like on the sticker
proposition. Mr.. Ford. of course, will
take no active part in such work.
However, 1t will have his approval
1t goes without saying that Re-
publican voters in Dauphin and ad-
joining counties will give a fine COM
plimentary vote for W. Harry Baker,
of this city, for national delegate-at-
large next Tuesday. Mr.. Bakers
name comes pretty we'll up on the list
and regardless of factional matters he
will be given strong support here
abouts. Friends of Mr.. Baker say
that he will receive a good vote all
over the State because of his wide ac-
quaintance to say nothing of his place
on the ballot
Another man who will be we'll
supported hereabouts as n personal
compliment will be Guy w. Moore.
Mr.. Moore is manager of the Wilkes
Barre Record and one of the promi-
nent Republicans OF LuZerne county.
He has many friends hereabouts who
are active in his behalf as the right
type of man to be sent to Chicago.
Governor Brumbaugh and At
torney General Brown have not yet
discussed the petition filed yesterday
by Max Kaufman, of Philadelphia on
behalf of Charles s. Wood, of Phila-
delphia. praying for the removal of
the judge as president judge of the
municipal court of Philadelphia. There
are numerous allegations, among them
one that the judge is candidate for
Republican national delegate and
supported by Penrose- -McNichol peo-
pie. The judge being elected by the
people could only be impeached by
the Legislature. The petition aims
to have his presidency taken away.
If the petition is entertained the Gov
ernor will fix hearing later on.
A Pittsburgh dispatch says: "Har-
mony among Republicans in Pitts
burgh and Allegheny county was
rudely jolted when, following Mayor
Joseph G.. Armstrong; stand in favor
of George NJ. Hosack and against
State Senator Charles J. Magee, for
the Senatorial nomination In the
Forty-third district, friends of Magee,
who is a brother of Public Service
Commissioner William A. Magee, local
Brumbaugh leader. threatened re-
prisals. The Mayor acted when Sena-
tor Magee. though running as a
Wet candidate for denomination,
was found lending every possible aid
to the success of Brumbaugh and
local option. City and county off,
cials are practically a unit in favor
of an unpledged delegation to the Re
publican national convention. and for
Harmon L. Kephart for State Treas
urer and Charles A. Snyder for Audi
tor General. The belief most gener-
ally held here is that the fight is all
over, and that the regular organiza-
ton forces are certain of a two-to-
one victory over the Governor in next
Tuesdays primaries"
