of Calvin Coolidge" The Governor
was one of the speakers in the
Coolidge campaign.
During the last few days the Gov
ernor has been hearing from West
moreland county people regarding
the vacancy on the orphans court

c. d. Copeland becomes common
pleas judge in January. Ex-senator
Chester E. Sensenich was here yes

Sproul to succeed John A. Scott, of
Indiana, as a member of the State
Compensation Board at $1,000 a
year, is personal friend of the
Governor as we'll as a prominent law

Western Pennsylvania Mr.. Scott,
who was named as one of the original
board in 1915, resigned to become
general counsel for the Buffalo. Ro-

the resignation as of December
with an expression of appreciation
of his services.
Mr.. Jarrett, who was elected
eight or nine years ago to the Senate
from the Mercer-Crawford district,
was Republican county chairman of
Mercer for some time and an active
party leader. He has been a warm
friend of the Governor from the day
he met him and while serving with
him predicted that he would become
Governor. He was one of the very
first to enlist when the Sproul candi-
dacy was announced.
The appointment of Frank
Feeney, the Philadelphia labor
leader, to the place of supervisor OF
referees in the compensation system,
is regarded as a recognition of the
moderate element in labor and there
are a number of favorable COM

Philadelphian has been active in
labor circles and as an Organization
Republican.

The Philadelphia Press is in

pointments and says: Nothing will

Mayor-elect Moore to hasty action

not a man to be rushed. The re-

political interest, but to administer

preciates this, and that he wants tC
