PINCHOT CORRALS.
STATEWIDE VOTE

staIwart republicanism since the

Supporters of the Attorney Cen
eral assert he will have a majority
outside of Philadelphia and Pitts
, burgh and there is no danger of his
being tagged as a Philadelphia ma
jority-made candidate. They say he
will carry at least nine of the
eighteen big counties which gave
Sproul his unprecedented majority of
2O3 900 at the primary of 1913, claim
ing Philadelphia by over 100000 and
Allegheny by $4,000. with Lacka-
wanna, Erie, Delaware, Dauphin, 'Le-
high. Northampton and Blair. The
Pinchot people claim every county
except Philadelphia and Allegheny.
and cut the estimates for the two
big counties from so to so per cent
in their converse tions.
Nobody has paid any attention to
the rest of the state ticket of the re-
publicans and the democratic pri-
mary is a mere formality except in
one place The democrats are better
organized than in years and watching
eagerly for signs of republican
break, which can be turned to their
aid in cutting down the huge normal
republican majority.
Pepper believed Safe.
Senator George Wharton Pepper is
believed safely out of the woods even
by the most pessimistic of his fol-
lowers, some a. rnom insisted upon
a speechmaking campaign, when
soldier and labor elements began to
operate against him. The senator has
kept out of the guberntorial row and
has swept up and down the state ad-
dressing meetings arranged in his
behalf. appearing with Alter when in
vited, but maintaining neutrality.
Senator Pepper is campaigning for
the balance of the Penrose term
against Representative William J.
Burke of Pittsburgh. who has cover
ed the state and is reported to have
Ford backing from time time.
Maj David A. Reed, who seeks the
remainder of the Knox-Crow term
declared for the attorney general. He
has no serious opposition.
While there is much speculation as
to the Pinchot attitude in event of
a defeat by narrow majority coming
out of Philadelphia, both the forester
and Mrs. Pinchot, who has been on
the stump. have declared they will
abide by the decision. But many of
the Pinchot men declare the majority
had better be decisive or a movement
may be started. Mrs Pinchot heard
of these declarations and made the
direct statement her husband would
stand by his assertion and accept the
will of the party voters.

John L. Ballaine of Seattle, the only

campaign throughout the state. While
he personally is enthusiastic. the re-
publican leaders and the rank and
file of the party refuse at this time
to ia ke his candidacy with any degree
of optimism. The feeling that Poin

There has been a growing demand

On the afternoon of June 29th, 1922, at
two o'clock, the members of The Willing
Workers Club, at Mangum, met at the
attractive home of Mrs. Carl Suits. On
arrival, each member was given such a
hearty welcome by the hostess the entire
club was brim-full of happiness and soon
laughter and funny jokes, repartee and
rich puns were heard on every side. An
outsider could have been very easily en-

Mrs. Covington was soon mixing and

wanted to know where would she fine
the angel to feed it to. She answered
that she would have to go elsewhere tc

delicious cake. Some thought it best t.
not wait for the angels. She also made
some delicious cooked dressing which
everyone pronounced very good. ,
