Some of the friends of certain
eminent Democrats who are aspir-
ants for the supreme bench scent a
scheme of the partisans of Justice
Il. j. Fox in the Gilmore resolution
for the executive committee to have
a roundup of all aspirants in an ef-
fort to concentrate so that there will
be at least one Democrat left on the
supreme bench. Fox is generally
supposed to have been named after
some one close to the Governor got
into touch with Palmer and Nc
Cormick, and McCormick's news
papers have treated him rather
kindly as compared to other candi-
dates. The committee will have a
meeting in Philadelphia on Septem-
ber "a, put it is doubtful whether
any aspirant will retire. Certainly
A. V. Dively, who sat in the meeting
as committeeman from Blair when
the resolution was adopted, and
Charles e. Lenahan, of Wilkes
Barre. who has been making the
crowd nervous by his activities, will
not get out. 1t will be curious to see
how the committee treats Henry
Budd. the noted lawyer, who is being
doomed by the Bonniwell people for
supreme court.
Even the Mccormick hat carriers
were forced to admit when the state
committee meeting closed on Satur-
day that it was nearly time to tele-
phone for the undertaken.

GLASS IN CHEESE
IS TRACED DOWN
MAKER DROPPED CRUSHED
THERMOMETER INTO TIA
WHICH CAME HERE

If you know anything about how
quickly the United States govern
ment can run down a suspect as a
SOY. no one need tell you this story,
but it concerns the glass which was
found in the cheese at Abbeville and
is splendid illustration.
Within less than a week after the
cheese was found here, government
agent hailed a Wisconsin farmer at
his front gate and had him by actual
number as the man who made the
cheese that was sold in Abbeville
with glass in it.
His man showed himself loyal
American citizen and after a time
was able to explain that crushed
thermometer had gotten into the
making on the day when the Able
Vile cheese went through his mill,
Thermometers are necessary in the
making of cheese, but not crushed
thermometers. The whole thing was
an accident.
The government found out the
whole thing and that very quickly.
Abbeville people must now be salts
fled that this was not an effort of a
spy to make mischief.
