Democratic National Committee
man a. Mitchell Palmer and Charles
P. Donnelly, former Democratic State
Chairman, who have been at swords
points since the Palmer FACTIONS got
control of the Democratic State ma
chine by means of the ak in 1911,
made nice speeches about each other
last night at the meeting of the
Democratic city committee in Phila-
delphia, but fooled no one, not
even their hearers. The meeting
was the midsummer RAINY OF the
Democratic city committee and Pal
mer took advantage of the opportunity
TO tell the people of the State what
a great mistake they made when they
did not elect him United States Sena-
ter. He also ,assailed the Governor.
The Democratic machine leaders
throughout the State are making a
big effort to keep Washington party
local organizations alive and some are
even urging third party men to insist
that the State committee members
elected in May be recalled. AS a mat
ter OF fact the Democrats, for very
obvious reasons, are taking more In
tel est in the third party than the men
who have formed its rank and file in
the last four years.
Withdrawals of the Washington
party State ticket are expected to be
made before September /. Friends of
the candidates have been canvassing
the State and have found so little
sentiment for a third party that they
have advised candidates to quit and
avoid trouble.
Ware men are grooming Harry A.
Mackey for the district attorney nomi-
nation in Philadelphia to succeed
Samuel P. Rotan. The Wares are also
grooming John r. K. Scott for Gov
ernor, Mayor Smith for Senator and
Congressman Ware for mayor.
Senator Penrose announced yes
terday that the Republicans will knock
out the proposed armor plate plant
appropriation if the Democrats insert
