Judge Samuel f. Shull. OF Strouds-
burg. Democratic nominee for Cnitet
States Senator in the last election. wa,
one of the few concerned with politics
to be seen in the football- crowded lobby
of the Bellevue today.
Judge Shull is University OF Nortt
Carolina alumnus, but he was roofing
for Penn against Cornell. Judge Shul
said the entire State ticket of thC
Democratic Party. which was thrown
for loss by the Republicans on No.
yember last, including John \. Nc.
Spartan, who was pinchot's opponent
will 60 to York next Saturday to at.
tend Democratic joliiication.
The Judge made IT clear they wer,
not to celebrate the State election. bu
come local victories in the York .Adam
didates will be the guests at a dnne
given py Henry c. Niles. who ran fo
the Superior Court.
While Judge Shull was holding tn
Oemocratic. iine against the footba.
men. William =. Gallagher. of Luzerne
and Robert Grier. of the Eighteent Il
Ward. were providing interference fc
the Republicans.
Grier and Judge Shull later d,scusse,
authoritatively the probable appear
ance of the prohibition issue in the mex
presidential election.
Reports that State Representativ,
George W. Williams. Of Tioga County
loomed up as harmony candidate TO,
Speaker and that Governor elect Pin
ctot looked upon him with favor wer,
viewed with suspicion in informed cir
cles today.
Mr.. Pinchot is spending Thanksgiv
ing at his home in Milford. but despit
the fact that he had held several con
ferences with leaders, including friend
Of Mr.. Williams. 1t Is known defnitel,
that he has not made a decision on th
speakership issue.
For several sessions past. Mr.. vii
Hams has been candidate for Speaker
but always failed of winning. In DO
lttical circles throughout the State, Mr.
Williams is regarded as soft pedal
member Of the House and not the kin,
Of forceful man who will be require,
in the Speakers chair. The Grund
element, which would like to see Stat
Representative Robert s. Spangler re
elected as Speaker. smiles. so 10 speak
at the proposal of Williams TO
Speaker.
There is a suspicion abroad that tn
Williams candidacy is part Of a driv
OF the Van Nalkenburg forces to "pu
one over on the Grundy- Elverso
combination. Both factions are striv
ing to win the favor OF the Governor
elect, who repeatedly points out that
sfter consulting with all sort. O
people, he will reach his own de
cisions.
