having their own troubles lust now
over the movement for reduction of
the number of city employees, which
is pelng insisted upon and which it is |
oeheved, 'Will be the rule in state,
county and city governments next

administration. There is also trouble
IN the police department again and
transit problems are commencing to
assume pressing Importance:
In all probability there will be
general clearing of tickets of men
who were named by scattering votes
within the next few days. The time

William H. Ball, Secretary to the
Governor, who has been more or less
active in political matters, got a new
claim to fame in the office of Pro-
monetary Charles E. Pass, of Dau-
phin county, during examination of
an applicant for citizenship papers.
Ihe applicant was answering ques-
tions and one of the stock INQUIRIES
is Who Is Governor of Pennsylya-
nia?" When this question was asked
the man shocked his sponsors by re-
plying Mr.. Ball.,
1t seems to be taken for grant
ed at the Capitol that railroad men
who are candidates for the Legisla-
ture will remain on tickets, but of
ficials have refused to make any
statement regarding status of men
who have been acting as attorneys
and In other capacities and who re-
signed right after the order came out.
| While an official statement will
not be made until the return of L. r.
Palmer, State Commissioner of Labor
and Industry! from the western end
of the state, 1t is the belief of people
| connected with his department that
the opinion of Attorney General
| Brown yesterday that male minors
under fourteen can not distribute
| merchandise on streets or in public
| places does not apply to newsboys.
There is special provision permit
| ting boys between twelve and four
| teen to sell and distribute papers and
periodicals and it is not thought that
Mr.. Brown meant to set it aside.
This is the last day for filing
nomination petitions for the Supreme
Court and there are now nine car
didates in the field. No intimations
of any Withdrawals have come to the
State Capitol and officials say they
are not certain as to whether men
who have filed papers for the nom
partisan ticket can withdraw under
the circumstances prevailing this
year.
The following men nominated
on the Prohibition ticket for Legis-
lative seats to-day fled withdraw
ais: S. Howard Gump, Bedford, and
]. w. Mitchell, Mifflin. Harry Me
mand. Washington candidate for the
Legislature in Bucks county, also
fled a withdrawal.
George D. Thorn, chief clerk
of the State Department, will be-
come acting deputy secretary of the
commonwealth, succeeding Captain
