ness left in the wake of the Democratic
meetings of Thursday. 1t turned out
that while there was a good bit of
hurrahing that there were many places
where the steam roller will have to
be- run to iron out party rows or they
will grow into a tremendous ruction by
next year when the Democratic chiefs
predictions of victory are found to be
dust.
State Chairman Joseph F. Guffey
who remained here yesterday to digest
the events of the previous day, is said
to have been more or less startled by
some things which he found out and
that there will be opportunity for
exercise of all of his tact to overcome
Clyde Kelley for Democratic congress
sional nomination without making a
declaration for the President Mr..
that some postmasters were liberal
givers but that others did not seem
much inclined to help pay expenses
for the windmill. The reluctance of
some postmasters to come across" is
said to have been cause for glee by
oohio Vi Ill0 QlSdppOluIeu
VINO came along to see the show.
1t also seems that twenty county
chairmen failed to show up for the
conference of chairmen and that six
teen State committeeman did not ar
rive for the notification. Some Of
these men just stayed away and ef-
forts will now be made to find out
what is the matter with them SO that
they may not join the ranks of those
who were disgusted at the failure to
find out more about the campaign
plans.
Guffey plans to "take account Of
stock" and to have another meeting
OF the executive committee about
October 1.
p. c. Knox, of Pennsylvania, who
was among the visitors at Republican

proved also that the whole country
has been aroused to the need for a
change in national control, both in the
White House and in Congress. The
people are voting for principles this
year, not for personality The election
of Hughes and Fairbanks is the surest
polltical prospect in many years. OF
course, the result in Pennsylvania is
a foregone conclusion"
Out of a total of thirty-hve war;
rants which have been sworn out by
the Committee of Seventy in it's cam
paign against election frauds, the
but three are for followers of State
Senator Ware, according to informa-
ton which has reached officers Of the
Republican city committee.
The Philadelphia Ledger in a first
page article to-day confirms the re-
ports which have been going the
rounds that the Ware interests are
behind Congressman John R. K. Scott
In his aspirations to be the next Re-
publican candidate for Governor.
Scott has been heading in that direc-
tion since the legislative session of
1913, when defeated in his desire to
be speaker, he adopted the tactics of
the Democratic reorganiZers in 1909
and demanded a change in methods.
He is still at it. The Ledger adds that
Scott may be opposed by Senator W.
c. Sproul. of Chester, or Congressman
W. w. Griest, of Lancaster.
A plan for test of strength in
Philadelphia, is to run Harry A. |
