| large who represent the list of the
| friends OF Governor Brumbaugh is
taken here and in Philadelphia and
Plttsourgh as the signal for war. Up
until yesterday afternoon there were
| some very faint hopes that an agree
lhent might be reached, but when the
administration forces sent out their
papers with the Governor heading the
list, any chance of peace vanished.
| -Ihe Governor was not here to talk
ABOUT the matter and Attorney General
| Brown said that it meant q contest to
the end. The papers will be filed on
MONDAY, when Mr.. Brown says that
the Governors presidential petition
VIII go on the record.
The fact that ex-Speaker George
T.. Alters name does not appear on
the Brumbaugh list caused much COM
ment here, as he was one of the men
put forward by Mayor Thomas B.
smith, However. no one would talk
about the matter in the absence of the
| Governor and Attorney General
1t is said here that 1t was intended
to have Mr.. Alter head the Brum-
bauSh list. Instead, William Aarons,
the Altoona merchant. will be at the
top, and the Brumbaugh forces be-
lieve that James Alcorn. ex-city So
llcitor of Philadelphia, will be next.
The names will be printed alpha
oeucally without regard to factional
alignment. Thus the Governor, in
stead of being at the top, may be in
third or even sixth place. 1t all de-
pends upon whose names are filed.
The Pittsburgh GaZette-Times,
United States Senator divers newspa-
per, has the following to say to-day;
There is doubt even among the men
who are looking after the interests of
the Brumbaugh-Vare combine in this
COnntV a.
Brumbaugh filing papers as a prefer
ential candidate for President. Attor-
ney General Francis Skunk Brown
says his name will go on the ballot. but
In conference of the Governors
supporters held last night in Pitts
burgh, the opinion was strongly eX-
pressed that he would retire The
plan, with the connivance of William
tllnn, is to get the Governor out of
the running and endeaVor to put Theo-
dore Roosevelt TO the front in Penn
sylVania. This is what Finn has been
trying to bring about since before Mr..
Brumbaugh offered himself as q prob
able candidate. The scheme is to
make Senator Boies Penrose the tar
get This was tried without success
in 1914. The Brumbaugh-Nare forces
have selected Il. II. Hendrickson of
the North Side as one of the national
delegate candidates in the Twenty
ninth district. His running-mate is
expected to be Richard r. Quay, of
Sewickley. Both candidates will an
nounce they favor Colonel Roosevelt
If Governor Brumbaugh does not seek
the preferential nomination"
Frank B. Black, member of the
State Agricultural Commission, is
candidate for member of the Repub-
lican State committee from Somerset

somerset county paper, is out for
the Brumbaugh cause.
Pittsburgh to-day denied the
story printed in the Philadelphia
North American that Senator George
t. Oliver would not run as a candidate
for Republican large.
The Philadelphia Ledger appears
TO be pretty busy just now with Mayor
Smith and his bonding company. To-
day IT says that the Mayor admits he
still owns a majority of the stock.
Senator Charles j. Magee, of
Pittsburgh. brother of the Public Ser
vice Commissioner, will be opposed for
denomination, the Penrose forces hav-
ing declared war on him.
The Philadelphia Press says to-
day in a roundup of the situation in
that city: THE determination to file
nominating papers in every Congress
sional and Senatorial district and in
every ward in the city was reached
Yesterday at the conclusion of confer
ences which have been held between
Senator and Congressman Ware, Da-
vid II. Lane, David Martin and other
leaders, all supporters of Governor
Brumbaugh for President, and Charles
A. Amber. for Auditor General, and
for the election of members of the
State committee and ward executive
committees. who will oppose the de-
| Termination of Senator Penrose to be-
come National committeeman from
Pennsylvania, and will support the
Smith administration in it's admins
/ trative measures. Because many of
the wards and districts of the city are
so overwhelmingly in control of the
/ Mayor and his friends now, it is con-
sidered certain that even If Senator
Penrose determines openly to make a
| fight against Amber, no Penrose
ticket petitions will be circulated"

| filed for national delegate to-day were:
Republican, William Donaldson, Du-
Bois, 21st; John J. Carter, Titusville,

Tenth street, Philadelphia, has filed a
petition to be a candidate for Repub-
lican nomination for the House in the
10th Philadelphia district.
The Philadelphia Record to-day
says: Republicans opposed to the
leadership of Harry A. Mackey in the
Forty-sixth ward of Philadelphia, held
meeting last night and took steps
to concentrate their fight on the
Mackey candidates for the Legisla-
ture. Clarence A. Gallagher was in
dorsed as one of the anti Mackey can
didates from the Twenty-first legisla-
| tive district and as a result of the in
dorsement w. S. Adams will probably
withdraw from the race. Adams
withdrawal will be made with the
purpose of strengthening the opposi-
ton to the Ware leaders candidates.
Charges that one of the Mackey can
didates for the Legislature is attempt
| ing to recruit strength by pledges to
both the church and liquor people will
be made during the coming week by
the anti-Mackey Republicans"
Tho Brumbaugh headquarters to-
day issued a list of names of men who
