formally announce his candidacy for

ernor tonight at a reception to be
given to him by Delaware county
friends and neighbors, which will be
attended by men of prominence in
| Republican affairs in many eastern
counties. Highway Commissioner
]. Denny O'Neil, the Senator's prin-
cipal rival for the nomination, will
be in Philadelphia to confer with
men favorable to his candidacy and
to consider advisability of making
any statenient'a as to inquiries wheth-
er he will be an Independent candi-
date after the primary. He will
speak tomorrow in Philadelphia
churches. Robert P. Habgood and
Asa A. Weimer the other candidates
for the nomination, will await de-
velopments The factions of the
Democracy will continue their ma
neuvering to see whether their slated
candidate shall declare wet" or

Senator Sprouts friends say that
there will be no doubt about his
stand in favor of the dry" amend
ment, woman suffrage and other is
sues, or his party regularity when he
makes his speech, and friends of Mr..
O'Neil say that his statements in the
next week will clear up any uncer-
tainties as to where he stands.
Most people look for q broad
side from O'Neil. as soon as Mr..
Sproul makes his announcement.
and it is probable that there will
be some additional statements by the
Governor. The Sproul policy will
likely be against engaging in a con-
troversy either with his opponent or
the Governor unless the Governor
makes himself an issue in the cam
paign.
