a rare effort to harmonize the factions
into which the party has split under
the present management in the max
ing up of the list of presidential elect
ors sent to President Wilson for his
! blessing and consent The task of
making up the list has been a big one
and in q number of instances various
! patriots We're so insistent that National
| Committeeman \. Mitchell Palmer
and others had to take matters into
their own hands.
! The selection OF Webster Grim, who
was reviled by Palmer and his pals a

/ lows:

Democrats here appeared to be very
much pleased over the selection of
Samuel Kunkel, who has for years
been treasurer OF the State committee
and who is acceptable to everyone.
Lebanon county, which did not get
any national delegates and whose can
didate. S. P. Light, withdrew when the
primaries came around, is recognized
in the selection of Mr.. Light as an
elector-at-large. John R. Diehl, Ma
rion. is the elector from the shoe
string" district.
While Senator z. H. Vane was
making q statement as hot as the
weather yesterday about Senator Pen
roses absence from a certain meeting
at Washington at which Philadelphia
was not included in the list of navy
yards TO be equipped for building big
ships, the Senator was having the
matter corrected. The Senator's state
ment was an arraignment of the Pen
rose course in Unmessured terms, but
he seems TO have picked the wrong
time TO make II. A Washington dis
patch saws: Senator Penrose yester-
day secured the reinsertion in the navy
appropriation bill of the provision re-
quiring the equipment OF the Philadel-
phia navy yard for the construction of
dreadnaughts. Senator Penrose. seiz-
ing a favorable opportunity during the
debate on the bill to-day, explained
to the Senate that through a typo
graphical error Philadelphia had been
omitted from the list of yards for
which the sum o. 5000, 900 had been
/ provided for necessary equipment for
! battleshlp construction. Senator Swan
son, who has taken charge OF the bill
for the administration during the ill
ness of Senator Tillman. agreed with
Senator Penrose that there had been
an oversight. He Immediately placed
the question before the Senate and
/ Philadelphia was restored to the list
without objection"
! -LuZerne county has another po-
! litical blow-up. Yesterday the school
| directors of Hanover township were
surcharged SIP, 2,52S.54 in a decision by
| Judge Strauss, who declared their Of
! ficial acts were either dishonest or the
result of incompetency or imbecility.
/ He declared that the school officials
| showed absolute Indifference to pub
! lie welfare" The court shows disgust
| over the purchase of what it terms an
antiquated library for school purposes.
| The board hired an agent and paid
/ him a liberal commission for buying a
/ school library and he furnished novels
l that were old and of no use for school
/ purposes. Fault is found with the
I directors for taking junketing trips in
I looking for manual training equip
ment.
! Announcement was made yesterday
| by President Fred w. Willard Of plans
to have the Republican campaign in
/ Pennsylvania opened at a convention of
/ llle CLdle LS6tFs ut VI INtpubilSdu Slubs
/ to be- held early in September. Candi-
dates Hughes and Fairbanks will both
be invited 10 be present. President
| Willard stated that he is about to send
| out a call for a meeting Of the execu-
tive committee of the State league of
| Clubs TO be held at the headquarters
of the Republican city committee in
Philadelphia within the next ten days,
at which the time and meeting place
for the convention will be determined
and arrangements will be made for the
| entertainment OF the delegates.
