MANY INTERESTING STTUA-
TIONS IN KEYSTONE PRIMARIES
CBy United Press Association

By United Press Associati0n.)
Harrisburg, Pa, May I7.-Controll-
ing organizations Of both the leading
political parties in Pennsylvania go
to the primary polls today to defend
their titles. The movement to wrest
the Republican leadership from Boles
Penrose, senior United States senator,
is headed by Governor Martin G..
Brumbaugh. He is backed by the
Philadelphia faction controlled by
Congressman William S. Ware and his
younger brother, State Senator Edwin
H. Ware. On the Democratic side the
leadership of National Committeeman
A Mitchell Palmer, former congress-
man, is challenged by Congressman
Michael Liebel, of Erie. The state
wide primary law enacted in 1913 was
used in a presidential campaign for
the first time today. Only three presi-
Dental candidates are on the prefer
ence ballot. The law allows a candi-
date for national delegate to pledge
himself on the ballot only to support
''the popular choice" for president in
his district. President Wilson will be
unopposed.
Governor Brumbaugh is the only Re
publican candidate for president. Not
all of the "Brumbaugh candidates" for
delegate are pledged None Of the
Penrose candidates is pledged. Pen
rose is making his play for seventy
six uninstructed delegates. Allen D.
Benson, Socialist, is the other presi-
Dental candidate. Palmer is on the
ballot as a candidate for reelection as
Democratic national committeeman.
His party is the only one in Pennsyl-
vania which has rules compelling cleo
ton of national committeeman at the
polls today. The other parties attend
to that at the national conventions.
Congressman LiebeI personally is
running against Palmer. Only the
Democrats have 2 contest for the
nomination for United States senator
to succeed George T. Oliver of Pitts
burgh Judge Ellis L. Orvis, Of Cen
ire county, is the Palmer candidate;
Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, Of Phila-
delphia, the Liebel candidate. Philan-
der C. Knox Of Pittsburgh, former
United States senator, former United
States attorney general and former
United States secretary Of state, will
get the Republican nomination. Nah
lon H. Meyers of Johnstown, will get
the Progressive nomination. All Pro
gressive delegates viii go to the Chi
cago convention uninstructed. There
are only forty-five Of them, due to diff
ferent rules than the Republicans and
Democrats have. Both the Penrose
and Palmer organizations declare that
they will control the state committee
elected today, consisting of 113 mem
bers under the state law. Penrose
claims ffty-four candidates pledged
to him to have no opposition. Palmer
claims ffty-seven. A light vote is
predicted today. Voting will require
much time. On the Republican bal
lot, for instance, the voter must pick
II men for delegate-at-large from a
list of 2 names, arranged alphabet
ically, with nothing whatever on the
ballot to distinguish Brumbaugh men
from Penrose men. The same is true
concerning other Offices and other bal
! lots.

NO LATIN-AMER1cAN COALITION.

Comes now gentle soul named Zatra-1
Cosme Zafra-S. Cosme Zafra-who tells,
in the Mexico City press, of weird pact
nineteen Latin-American countries made
in 1908, over in Zaragossa, Spain, to resist
aggression" by the United States.
The same Zafra said they sealed the COW
enant by kissing some shrine.
AS a threat, this might very easily get
by-nothing but slang will express tine
Latin-Americans. Knowing our impress
sionable neighbors, we may even say that
Zafra has hypnotized himself into be-
lieving the yarn; but no serious-m1nded
American would give such thing second
thought, except, possibly, as an idea for
comic movie.
Diplomacy is not done in this manner.
The affairs of nations are not conducted
like the witch's scene in Macbeth. Had
there been any conference-and heaven
knows the anti-American feeling was
strong enough for thousand of them-lt
would have been held in Central America
or Mexico-not Zaragossa, which is not
even a bull fighting center. Plenipotentla-
ries conclude their mission very much as
they conclude their everyday business.
They get together and talk something over
they reduce that to legal phraseology and
sign their names. If it is secret, nothing
is said if it is not secret, it is printed, and
maybe, they get their pictures in the paper
Had Zafra said merely that all Latin
America would resist aggression, nobody
would dispute him, for that is what any
nation in the world would do. Belgium die
it, knowing resistance meant certain de
struction. But Zafra, like most people
who know little, has said too much
There is no coalition against the United
States

PENsAcoLA's TEMPERATURES.

If there were anything needed to de-
monstrate the possibilities of Pensacola as
a summer resort, that need was met yes
terday in the greatest celebration of the
Fourth that Pensacola has ever known.
The big preparedness parade in the
morning, the picnic at Palmetto Beach, and
the swimming race at Bayview, with
other pleasures filled the day with pleas
>-A-e fol Old dI1dz young
AL day the cars to Palmetto Beach and
BayvieW were crowded, and many bay
parties and other diversions were enjoyed
by visitors and home folks.
Everybody took holiday, and everyone
found some pleasant place to spend that
hohday-which is the main essential of
holiday making, after all.
1t is fact, frequently noted by visitors
that Pensacolians do not half realize their
blessings. Where else in the world may
one md so much Of pleasure at so little
cost, as here in your own city?
Palmetto Beach and Bayview offer
pleasures that are unsurpassed anywhere
in the world These pleasures are appre-
ciated-that is demonstrated by the great
crowds which throng to Bayview, es-
pecially on Friday and Sunday afternoons
But with that appreciation of the pleasures
afforded there is little realization of how
much greater are the pleasures here in the
summer time, compared to other cities
The pleasures that summer has to offer
here are right at the doors of those who
choose to take them, and the climate is
ideal, making outdoor life always en-
joyable.
The Journal published some figures
Tuesday, going to show how much cooler
this city is than any other in the country.
The weather man was particularly kindly,
yesterday, giving cool, cloudy morning
for the parade with a fine breeze all day
an ideal Fourth in every way, from dawn
till dark, and one which will hardly be for
gotten, for the splendid spirit it registered
and the pleasures it afforded

"THE OLD SPANISH TRAIL"
Tampa Times.
> = - 80 - : 1890,

From Florida to Texas interest in
the movement for connecting the At
lantic with the Pacific by the. Old
Spanish Trail is steadily increasing,
and now there is no doubt but that
this cross-continent highway dream
will be realized at no distant date.
We take particular pride in the fact
that this movement was really in
augurated in Tampa, the suggestion
having been made by L. P. Dickie,
secretary of the local board of trade,
and the further fact that south Flor
ida is leading all other sections, by
long odds, in actual paving work. In
fact, our people are setting an excel
lent example to those of all other
states, and the widespread advertis-
ing of this spirit of progressiveness
has been Of great benefit to Florida
as whole.
Never before have the counties of
northern and western Florida been
as deeply interested in highway-es-
tablishing work, and enthusiasm also
is evident in Alabama, Mississippi

Louisiana and Teaxs. The people of
some states and sections have been
slow in getting down to actual work,
but progress sufficient to assure COM
pletion of the highway within an I'M
expected short time has already been
made. &.
The business men Of Mobile are de-
serving of high praise for the work
they have done in promoting the trail,
without which little work world have
been done on the project in other
states.

Judging by the tone of Carranza's
