Democratic State ringmasterS
have determined not to get tangled
up with the Democratic factional
war that has broken out in Cambria
| county over the management of the
| county machine and are commenc-
ing to express some alarm lest the
tongs decide to begin hostilities in
Philadelphia, Allegheny, LuZerne
and other counties where efforts
have been made to softpedal the
rival leaders Reports of national
! delegate seats and the honorary
places, as alternates having been
exhibited and hinted as possible or
naments of the Christmas tree have
been going about the State, but if
| indications are correct it will take
something more substantial than
such party blue ribbons to win
recalcitrants to quiet in the year
when the ringmasters want to have
a united delegation for A. Mitchell
Palmer for president.
The Cambria county situation is
one where jarring ambitions and
dlfterences over party procedure
have given the great coal county
TWO Democratic county chairmen.
The JohnStown Democrat is thun-
dering against men who oppose the
Bailey program and the Tribune is
having all kinds of fun with the
contending Democrats.
In Lackawanna county the Scran-
ton Republican is having consider
able fun with Democratic efforts to
patch up troubles in advance of the
presidential year and is shooting

other counties in this section, while
the Republican organizations in the
Cumberland and Juniata Valley
counties are busy in efforts to make
their county and local tickets as
victorious as were their legislative
tickets in most of the districts last
year. The dent put into the Demo-
cratic machine last fall when the
Republicans swept the 18th, 18th,
18th and goth districts, where the
Democrats had been claiming some
footholds has not been forgotten
and the Republican chairmen are
busy as can be.
Speaking of the Schuylkill
county Republican ticket the Potts
Vile Republican says: Never has
any party presented to the citizens
a ticket which could command
greater approval from all classes
than is the case with the Republi-
can nominees this year. All are
men thoroughly qualified for the
positions to which they aspire, men
who represent the best thought of
the county and who will be a credit
to the county as officials of it.
There is little doubt of their election
but 1t requires the active support of
those who endorse this ticket in
order that they shall be elected. On
the nonpartisan ticket there is no
opposition to Judge Wilhelm, who
will succeed himself as judge of the
orphans court"
-Lebanon's Republicans have
gotten down to business and are
holding a series of meeting in the
county, following up the big meet
ing held the other evening with
Luther Harpel as chairman. The
News says of the meeting: THAT
the recent Republican primary cleo
ton-one of the most hotly con-
tested in the city and county in
many years-left no scars, and that
the partisans are now united for a
march in solid phalanx to the polls
for solid victory on Tuesday next,
for the victorious nominees, was
indicated in n most unmistakable
manner, at the Court House, on
Monday evening"

Philadelphia is being told in an en-
tertaining way by the newspapers.
