ed TO do much campaigning between
now and November. He is merely
the leader of a fornlorn hope and
has offered himself as a sacrifice to
party loyalty.
Oliver c. Bishop, of the lower end,
man we'll qualified by long expert
ence for the office, was named o.
the Republicans for county treas
urer over his opponent, Joshue L.

the latter for two years, and S. e.
khnger and n. Y. Parthemore are
the winners on the Democratic side
Inc primaries in the city were more
than ordinarily active but were not
complicated by the non-partisan con-
tests of other years. The men with or
ganization backing won out in every
case the city treasurership being any
mans race up to the closing hour of
the polls. Both candidates on the Re-
publican side. Harry F.. Owes and
clarence r. Weber and their friends
were busy from early morning until
evening and 1t was not until well past
nliutlight That Weber gave up the
fight. To-day Mr.. Owes who was for y
short term city treasurer and is well
qualified by experience for the office
is being heartily congratulated for the
nomination practically assures the cleo
ton. James G. Miles is the Democratic
nominee.
Inc nomination of Alderman George
A. Hoverter, of the Ninth ward. over
Mayor Daniel L. Keister and Alder
man Jacob H. Shaner of the Seventh
ward, was freely forecasted before the
primaries and the result was never
for minute in doubt Hoverter had
more votes than all the other candidates
combined and his election is as certain
as anything political can be. His many
statements made at the close of the
campaign last Saturday won him many
supporters and he is being heartily
congratulated to-day. He has been a
resident of Harrisburg more than forty
years and was a member of select
council when elevated to the alderman
ship of the Ninth ward some years
ago.
1t was also a foregone conclusion
that the four Councilmen now in Of
fee, Charles w. Burtnett, DR.. Samuel
F. Hassler, E. 2 Gross and William
II. Lynch. would be re-nominated. so
that chief interest lay among their
friends in seeing who Of them would
come out ahead, that honor falling to
DR.. Hassler. The same can be said
of the race between Dewitt A. Fry,
at present City Controller and Harry
r. Brown. for the Republican con-
trollership nomination, Fry winning
out hands down. He will have as his
Democratic opponent, G. C. Berkheim-
er. The Democratic nominees for
Council are H. II. Brant. w. S. Rhoads.
Lieutenant George a. Sh oemaker, and
Clader B. Shammo.

labor candidate, who would have had

Cormick faction at the last minute
had not got behind DIR. Hartman, in
ducing him to get into the race on the
evening of the last day for filing Pc
titions. Democratic organization
workers were busy concentrating
