While the Penrose chieftains are
giving out statements as they mobilize
at Atlantic City that they propose to
adhere to the rule that the victors
should divide the places of prominence,
power and profit when they get con-
troll and the Ware people are defiantly
declaring their intention of dropping
Penrose men for every Ware man put
off the payroll, the underground ne
gotiations to patch up the truce dur
ing the session are going on.
The PenroSe council of war will be
held at the seashore to-day and to-
morrow and Saturday the leaders will
all be in Philadelphia to talk to the
other side.
The noisy declarations of intention
to impeach the Governor and do other
things which marked the early part of
the week have been soft pedalled and
there are not even threats to refuse to
confirm appointees.
While the Penrose people are plan
ming their legislative campaign and
apportioning patronage, the Ware
leaders including Congressman Scott,
will gather at Virginia Hot Springs
and talk things over. Next week a
number of men prominent in State af-
fairs Will be in Philadelphia and steps
to agree upon a rational course in the
Legislature may be discussed.
The Democrats are getting ready to
make all the capital possible out of the
imbroglio and it is even intimated that
IN some quarters they may vote to help
along factional rows instead of stick
ing to their own burrows.

Democratic and independent news
papers in their efforts to make DO
litical capital out of the session of the
Legislature are falling into their own
pits. For instance, 1t was loudly pro-
claimed by the newspaper of the
Democratic national chairman yester-
day that if certain legislative attaches
"are dislodged and their places given
to other men. these new men will re-
ceive pay for the first three weeks in
January, although they did not serve
day" Under the act of 1916 the pay
of legislative employees does not begin
until they are sworn in. and as they
have not been selected they cannot be
sworn in or paid, Hence the pay
