It is believed that the complete list
of the Republican presidential elec-
toral candidates will be in the hands
OF Charles z. Hughes within the next
twenty-four or forty eight hours and
the impression is that it will be one
OF the most representative gatherings
of Republicans in years. As soon as
Mr.. Hughes approves the selections
in a number of which he is said 10
havc figured personally it will be
formally certified to the State Capitol
for printing on the ballot.
John Hays, chosen from the Eigh-
teenth district, is one of the leading
lawyers and manufacturers of Cum
berland county, living at Carlisle. d.
Edward Long, who will represent the
Seventeenth district, is a lawyer and
prominent in affairs in the Cumberland
Valley.
Col. Charles A Rock, one of the
Pittsburgh electors, is owner of the
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Men identified with the activities
of the Washington party believe that
there is no doubt of the organization
practically dissolving here next Tues
day. The outlook for the endorsement
OF the Republican ticket is very good,
according to the way one leader put
it last night. None of the State candi-
dates is said to be eager to run.
Lean, who has been in Washington,
plans to devote his attention to tour
ing the State to get his organizations
lined up, some of the counties having
gene astray because of the manner
in which patronage was doled out.
Mclean hopes to get some back into
line by an adroit making of the list
of presidential electors.
Senator Penrose will be mem ber
OF the Republican national campaign
committee. He is said to have been
a personal selection of Mr.. Hughes.
1t seems to be pretty generally
understood that John Wanamaker
former postmaster general and who
named Fairbanks at Chicago, will
either be treasurer of the Hughes
campaign or take a leading part in it.
The selection of Mr.. Wanamaker for
tie place seems to have given general
qualification to the Republicans of the
State because of the prominence he
has taken in party affairs in the past
and his interest this year.
Friends of Senator E. E. Beidle-
man to-day congratulated him upon
his birthday. The Senator will also
meet some of his friends who will
visit him at Mt. Gretna tonight
George D. Porter, former director
of safety in Philadelphia, is lining up
with the Hughes campaign. He took
a prominent part in the primary fight
against the Wares and it is said that
he will now work for harmony. Re-
ports of closing of the preach be-
tween the Wares and Mc0icnol for
the time being are in evidence.
The proceeding brought before
the attorney general against Mayor
John Kosek, of Wilkes-Barre, is be-
Ing watched with interest in all of the
third class cities. The Mayor won the
first round in the fight to throw him
out under the Clark act and now he
is being attacked in quo warranro
proceedings before the attorney gen.
eral, the hearing being set for Tues
day next.
Governor Brumbaugh is expected
to return to this city next week. The
Governor has not made any plans to
visit the Ell Paso camp, but may go
III the Fall according to Capitol gossip
Mayor Smith. of Philadelphia, has
revoked the permission to get up a
city handbook because of the fuss
raised over it.
