Men active in politics Of every part
ana all over the State are awaiting
with considerable interest the result of
the attempt to be made before the
executive committee of the Democratic
state machine to have ex-Consressman
NJ. Clyde Kelley, of Braddock, a. ram
pant Bull Mooser in years gone by, put
on the democratic congressional ticket
IN the Thirtieth Congressional district.
rms is the old Dalzell or McKeesport,
district and the circumstances are un-
usual: The State executive committee
mas the sole power to fill the vacancy
and 1t remains to be seen whether the
committee will put on ticket a man
VINO does not declare for Wilson.
Kelley was defeated two years ago
who beat him Tor the Republican
nomination last May. Kelley got the
washington and Prohibition nomina-
tlons and now c. H. Arnold. the Demo-
cratic candidate. has sent withdrawal
70 TINS city: 1t is in the pocket of
postmaster Born, of WilmerdinE, who
VIII hle it when he is assured that Kel-
ley VIII be named in place Of Arnold.
Where the rub comes in is that
while Kelley is willing to swing his
organizations in for Wilson. he will
not declare for him, contending that
as he is Progressive and Prohibition
candloate he can not. But he needs
the Democrats to come near winning.
The Kelley episode has been the only
thing to disturb the boss Democrats
assembled here for their 'in gather
lng.' 1t was declared to-day by some
Democrats that they were not meeting
mere to hold up the postmasters for
contributions and that the State COM
mlttee and notification meetings COM
ing the day after the postmasters met
| mere was a mere coincidence. How
ever, 1t was intimated pretty plainly
that the coincidence was carefully ar
| ranged. The Democrats have adopted
all the tactics they used to condemn in
other parties and are inclined to be
| resentful of the suggestion that thew
are not all angels of light.
Democrats were showing much in
terest to-day in reports that President
| wilson would make seven or eight
speeches and there was quite a little
scramble under way to get the Presi-
dent TO- visit various localities. Be-
tween interviewing postmasters and
getting dates for speakers there ap.
peared to be plenty to make trouble.
Republicans state leaders are talk
ing over plans for the campaign at
Philadelphia and are getting things in
shape for the big opening in Pitts
meet on September 81 in that city
Candidate Hughes is to be there at the
same time.
Senator Penrose is in New York
arranging some of the details of the
state campaign in Pennsylvania Ar
rangements are being made for tours
by men of national prominence. The
tours of the state candidates will then
be arranged.
Public Service Commissioner viii
| liam A. Magee is now being mentioned
| in the Pittsburgh newspapers as a
likely candidate for mavor Of that city
next year. The commissioner served
TOUR years as mayor and his friends
believe that he would be willing to
enter the race again.
| National Chairman Mccormick
and ex-governor Martin II. Glynn. Of
New York, were here late last night on
their way to Indianapolis to attend the
Marshall notification and INDUCED in
some pleasantries about New York
They were not very enthusiastic about
Maine, but INDUCED in slittering and
harmless generalities. Mr.. Glynn said
that he looked for a ouarter-million
majority for Wilson in New York. Just
then the train pulled out
| Half a dozen OF the Democratic
| candidates for Congress were here to-
day hunting sympathy and much in
terested in what kind of financial sup
| port the postmasters are going to give
to the Democratic machine.

for its presidential camnaign in this

And may cheer his name
And may strew his way
With your worldly fame,
But the golf bugs dream
Is to be three up
In the final flight
For a silver cup.
