 Votes Denied

Philadelphia, Aug. % lP - Gif- ford Pinchot's nomination for gover- nor by Pennsylvania republicans at the primary last May was upheld to- day by the state supreme court.
 The court denied the petition of Francis Shunk Brown, principal op- ponent of Pinchot. to throw out ap- proximately 60,000 ballots cast in Luzerne County on the ground that they had been mutiliated by perfor- ations.
 Pinchot carried Luzerne County by plurality of 26.O00 and the en- tire state by about 10000. Had Browns petition been granted he would have been the nominee by 5000.

Expansion Announced BY
Cities Service

Reports issued by Cities Service
Company since its announcement
Of a $50. GOO, 900 expansion program
for 1880. indicate that the year just
completed was the most successful
in the organizations history. Net
earnings of the company for the
twelve months ended November 80,
the last figures available, were
SAL CSC, 882.06. representing an in
crease Of more than S8.500.000 over
the same period a year ago. The
number Of common stockholders
more than tripled during the year,
increasing from l00.0l8 on Decem-
Der IS. 1923 TO BAL .497 on December
IS. 1929. The greatest part Of this
growth came in the last half OF
the year. more than $4,000 common
stockholders being added in the last
two months.
From information available,
il IS obvious that the Cities Service
organization completed extensive
programs in all three Of its major
activities, public utilities, natural
gas and petroleum. Growth In the
public utilities division consisted tor
the most parts Of further expansion

available TO every troop in the VAL

tensive summer training. camp is a
vertible hive Of industry. Three hun
bred Valley Scouts attended the
1929 Summer Camp, and the at

500 in 1890.
Several training courses for Adult
Leaders were given by the Council
in 1929. and certificates of gradual
ton were awarded TO rs Valley men
by the National Council. These
courses will be improved and en-
larged during the coming year.
So strongly has the Executive
Board OF the Council felt their re-
sponsibilites TO the bcyhood Of the
Valley that they have adopted a
program Of work for the next three
years. looking to the training OF
every boy Of scout age in the Valley.
During the Spring Of 1880, the

campaign to provide $4,000 to fully
carry out the three year program,
and to complete Camp Perry.

POLITICS IN REVIEW
By the Man In The Street

suggestion that Albanus Phillips of
Cambridge be the G. o. P. candidate
for Comptroller and on top of that
| fact comes report that Editor L.
Bates Russell of the Chestertown En-
terprise might like that honor for
himself. Mr.. Russell publishes one of
the best weekly papers in Maryland
but that job should not keep him out
of a State Office, as we see it.
Returning to the Governorship-
there has been recent mention of the
name of Federal Judge Morris A,
Soper. Not that there is anything
to indicate that he would be willing
to run. He has life position where
he now is and life positions are very
scarce these days and becoming
scarcer. But some seem to think that
he would be good compromise candi-
date to prevent a primary election
fight. In 1911 Mr.. Soper ran for At
torney General on the ticket with
Phillips Lee Goldsborough, who was
elected Governor-but was defeated
by Edgar Allan Poe. Later Mr.. Soper
was put on the Police Board by Gov
ernor Goldsborough and transferred
thence to the chief judgeship of the
Supreme Bench.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee of Washington county has tax
en- the first step toward putting for
mer Attorney General Alexander
Armstrong in the field as a candidate
for Governor by giving him an in
dorsement. Mr.. Armstrong has not
said he would not accept a nomina-
ton and his friends say he would like
to have it this year when it appears
that there is to be a change of ad-
ministration. Mr.. Armstrong ran
against Governor Richie in 1923
when the latter was going up the hill
politically and now that he is slipping
the former Attorney General would
have a better chance.
But What About
The Local Ticket?
There has been so much manuever-
ing and palavering over the nominal
