Harrisburg was a center of political
interest last night as Governor Brum-
baugh and members of his cabinet and
political friends were going over the
situation and discussing the speech
which the Governor will make as a
keynote address at York tonight
when the State Federation of Re-
publican clubs meet, and down street
Senator Boies Penrose, State Chair
man Crow, Candidates Charles A.
Snyder and H. NJ. Kephart were at
the same hotel.
The Senator came here from Phila-
delphia on his way to Pittsburgh
where he will meet Candidate Charles
e. Hughes and discuss the campaign
with Republican county leaders of
Western Pennsylvania. The Senator
will attend the meetings at which Mr..
Hughes will speak as will Senator
Oliver.
The Senator said last night that he
was we'll pleased with the outlook in
the State.
While Governor Brumbaugh will
not talk about his speech being any,
thing like launching a boom for Re-
publican leadership the address he
will make at York tonight will be so
regarded. 1t is being eagerly awaited
as 1t will express some opinions which
may interest Republicans in year
when Democrats are making a drive
for Pennsylvania.
= The Governor will speak at York
tonight. leaving his party along the
road and rejoining the tour at Bed
ford. Many of the State officials will
be at York to hear him speak and
there will be large representation of
Capitol Hill people. State Chairman
Crow and the candidates will also be
there.
-Philander c. Knox, candidate for
Senator, is to speak before the York
meeting and his address is expected
to be another scathing arraignment
of the Wilson administration.
The name of Major General
Charles NJ. Clement, commander of
the National Guard, was added to the
list of the possible public service COM
missioners last night. The General,
who comes from Sunbury, is we'll
known to Harrisburgers as he was
deputy secretary of the Common
wealth and has been here many times.
He is commander of the Pennsylvania
troops on the border and is a lawyer.
Many letters from lawyers, business
men and Guardsmen have been re-
ceived by the Governor in his inter-
est. Last May the General ran as a
Brumbaugh candidate for delegate
at-large.
In spite of assertions to the con-
trary there will be no change in the
style of the legislative bills next ses-
sion. The matter has been discussed
half dozen times by State officials
but last night Attorney General
Brown held that the change to smaller
bills could not be made, although de-

because of the printing contract
which will run until 1919. In the
1919 session there will be smaller
bills. However, the Governor has
signified a desire to save printing and
paper wherever possible.
Among visitors to the city to-day
was Ex-senator Ernest i. Tustin, OF
Philadelphia, who is said to have some
ambitions in the State line.
-Gubernatorial and other booms
will be numerous at York the next
few days. Lieutenant Governor Nc
Claim, Commissioner Ainey, Congress-
man Scott, Congressman Kiess and
others who have been mentioned as
possibilities will be there.
The Federation meeting has been
industriously doomed by the State
| administration and Ware people and
they will have many supporters in the
crowd. The meeting will probably be
more notable because of the COM
plexion of the State committee than
for a long time.
Invitations to attend the Penn
sylvania Day ceremony at Shadow
Lawn, President Wilson's summer
home, are being sent from the Demo-
cratic State headquarters. An effort
is being made to have all of the Penn
| sylvania national delegates to the
Baltimore convention of 1912, and the
Pennsylvania delegation to the st
Louis convention attend the gathering,
