PERRY HASHARD
CAMPAIGN FOR
JUDICIAL POST
Many Candidates Also Are
Seeking Nomination as
County Commissioner

New Bloomfield, Pa, Sept. IS
Chief interest in the primaries in
Perry county tomorrow centerS in
the fight for the president judgeship
of the forty-first judicial district, in
Guiding Perry and Juniata counties.
which will be settled in the pIi-
maries of tomorrow. Two candi-
dates are in the field for the nomi-
nation, Judge jeremiah n. Keller, CT
Mifiintown, the present incumbent,
and James MacBarnett, Of New
Bloomfield
The contest has been largely n
"favorite son" contest, Juniata
backing Keller, tooth and nail, and
Perry doing the same fo" MacBar-
nett. In some instances efforts havo
been made to inject factional poll
tics irto the nonpartisan contest, but
the fight is chiefly a "faN Norite SON"
one. Keller is a Democrat and
Mac Barnett a Republican.
Efforts have been made in num-
Der of instances TO bring the tenn
perance issue into the fight, but
thus far the efforts have not been
bearing much fruit. 1t was pointed
out by some papers of the several
counties that MacBarnett had al
ways been a wet man and that it
was safe only to vote for Keller, q
pronounced dry" Papers favoring
MacBarnett, some of which fought
him for the nomination in a pre-
vious judivial campaign because CT
his liquor stand, have pointed out
that the liquor issue is a dead one.
and that MacBarnett is perfectly
safe for "drys' and vets" alike,
that he will have no opportunity 10
preside at any license cou.t. This
issue promises to play little part.
Outside of the judicial campaign,

There will be no contests at the
polls tomorrow or at the general
election for the office of district at
torney, since James w. Mckee, of
New Bloomfield, the present incum-
bent, is the only candidate in the
field for the nomination. The same
conditions exists in regard to the
office of register and recorder, Will

being the only candidate in the
field. For county treasurer, James
Noel, of Toboyne township, seeks the
Republican nomination, as does
Chester L. Burd, of Wheatfield
township. the Democratic nomina-
ton. The latter will be nominated
by the sticker method, having an
nounced his candidacy TOO late to get
on the ballot.

New Haven News
Writers Strike When
Refused Wage Increase
By .4sfeeiated Press.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. Is. -
Three afternoon newspapers here,
to-day issued their editions under
unusual conditions, a strike of news
writer's having gone into effect on
these publications following n strike
on the Morning Journal-Courier at
last midnight.
Managing editors and editorial
writer's who were not members of
the newly-formed News Writers
Equity Association took up duties of
city editors and copy readers, while
the places of street men were filled
by substitutes. The strike follows
refusal of publishers to increase
wages of street and desk men.
The Equity Association claims that
practically all staff and street men
on the four dailies here are mem
bers and had endorsed the proposal
to strike in event of the failure of
the publishers to fix n definite scale
of compensation. The evening pa
pers are the New Haven Register.
the New Haven Times-Leader, and
the New Haven Union.
Proofreaders on the papers did
not strike. as they are not regarded
as part of a news writing staff.

Pennsy Loses Large Sums
on Mail Irregularities

When Pennsy employees fail to
handle Uncle Sans mail on sched-
ule time or provide for rush busi-
ness it is costly. Here are some
costs and amounts paid out for l.
regularities during 1918:
Failure to hold trains until all
mail was loaded or un-
loaded ............. 2,556
Failure to load or unload
cars promptly ........ 1,136
Failure to furnish cars or
placing cars late . 1858
Baggage masters, porters and
station agent failures. -. 1871
The total amount of penalties int
posed during the first six months
of 1919 was S10,771.57.
Attention is called to the fact
that baggagemasters, porters and
station agents are responsible FIR
the greater part of the fines imposed
and hope is expressed that such ac-
ton will be taken on their part
that the number of failures will pe
reduced to a minimum.
