Among all these men of both
sides the talk was of harmony be-
tween the two factions and how it

upstate men left they took with
them assurances that the principle
OF harmony had been agreed upon,

improbable that in working out these
details any insurmountable obstacles

war work will be a great asset. If
Mccormick definitely declines to

burgh, is regarded as the most
likely man to be the nominee Mr..
Guffey favors Mccormick, but his
friends say he will make the race If
the party wishes him to do it,

Senator w. M. Lynch will be can
didate again. The majority of pros
pective candidates for senator were

former Mayor E. B. Jermyn, Charles

William Finn is not commit
ted to O'Neil for Governor says the
| Pittsburgh GaZette-Times. 1t adds
| that at the ONeil dinner Pledges

O'Neil in their counties were made

a statement by Senator Penrose in
his. reply to Senator Stone that all
the Democrats of Pennsylvania had
Federal jobs, which explained why
| Governor Brumbaugh had not ap-
| pointed more of them on state war
| commissions, A. Mitchell Palmer
| said, That was just one of Penrose's s

her of Democrats in the Federal

The Philadelphia Inquirer in a
| series of reviews of the situation in
! several counties tells of strong sup
port for Senator Sproul. Delaware
| and Chester are declared to be very
strong. In the HaZleton district ii
! is said he is assured of almost solid
support and that in Schuylkill since
he has become a candidate there
is nothing to the aspirations of any
others in Schuylkin county" The
Inquirer says regarding Delaware
county: While Senator Sproul has
not shown any inclination to this
time of resigning during his Guber-
| Material campaign, and there is no
reason why he should. nevertheless
the fact remains that j. Lord Rig

office at Harrisburg, will be a can
didate when the proper time ar
rives. The Rigby sentiment is grow
ing stronger every day, and there
seems little doubt at this time that
the former Recorder of Deeds will
have the Endorsement of the organi-
cation when the time is ripe to trot
out a Senatorial candidate. Rigby
would undoubtedly make a strong
and popular candidate as Sprouts
| successor because of his personality
and the fact that he is familiarly
known to all of the Republicans in
| the county, and because he is made
