OF the NetoeS OF legislation by the
Governor. The proclamation.
1 couched in phrases as old as the
! Commonwealth, was read by Samuel
! {. Todd. chief clerk to the secre-
| tary. The proclamation, to which
the great seal of the State was at
| fixed, also announced various ap-
| prevails and will be filed in the ar
chives of the State.
| -PennSylvania'S smaller coun-
ties are getting ready for some
| strenuous contests for associate
| Judge. For the first time in years
| there are only two to be elected in
| one county. Ordinarily such cleo
| tons Gave been OF pairs. Hunting
I don county is the only one of the
! thirteen counties having such cleo
| tons this year to choose two judges
and both the judges in that county
| are candidates for denomination
In most of the other counties the
custom is to give such judges only
/ one term, but this year some of
them will be candidate for another
tenure of six years. The counties
! which will elect one judge are Bed
| ford, Cameron, Columbia, Elk, Full
! ton, Mitflin, Monroe, Pike, Snyder,
! Sullivan, Warren and Wyoming.
-Four new compensation refer
| rees provided for by the act reor-
/ ganizing the Workmen's Compen-
| sation Buredu are to be located this
| fall and what changes in districts
will be made are matters of pretty
keen speculation about Capitol Hill
these days. The bureau will be
more than ever 4 branch of the De-
| partment of Labor and Industry
! and Commissioner c. s. Connelley
| plans to take a more active part in
! the deliberations of the board than
| did his predecessors. The dean will
! succeed Colonel John Price Jackson
when he returns from France, be-
ing at present acting commissioner
| because Colonel Jackson is in the
| army. This change will likely take
place in the fall.
The Daily Mail OF Charleroi
| prints the following relative to a
visit paid to that place by State
Chairman William E. Crow. In
( 1917 there was a strong effort made
to induce Mr.. Crow to become a
candidate for Governor, but to all
appeals he had only one answer,
that he was for Senator w. C.
Sproul, for the Office and urged his
| friends TO be likewise. That his
| judgment was good was demon
strated at the polls when Senator
Sproul received such a splendid vote
for Governor. Senator Crow has
often been described as the most
potent harmonizing harmonizer in
the political affairs of the State and
nation, for when the nationwide
contest was on for the election of a
chairman for the National Repub-
lican Committee, it was Senator Grow
who soothed the irritant delegates
