large hay crop away and many of them are cut-
ting wheat.

Very few voters in this neighborhood take any
stock in the Bull Moose party. That gang seems
dead, almost before it is really born.
Our farmers have about all their hay housed,
and it proved a good crop. The recent rains made
the corn pop up three inches in twenty-four
hours. The potatoes. too, look very healthy,
likewise the wheat. All give large promises.
The creek road was neverin as good condition
as at present. All the low places have been filled
up with stone and gravel, and in one or two
places heavy oak troughs have been put under
the bed of the road to drain off the water, so there
can be no more huge mud puddles to wade
through. Our supervisors evidently understand
their business.
Well, as everybody expected, Bryan is playing
the fool already. As he was unable to boss the
Baltimore convention and do as he pleased, he
must quarrel with some one}to give vent to his
spleen. His recent senseless attacks on Clark.
Stanchfield and others is like the idle winds, it has
no force nor effect. We all know that Bryan is
simply a bird of ill-omen.

GUTHRIE ELECTED STATE CHAIR-
i MAN.
| Adopts Resolution Putting Fusion In
| the Hands of the Executive Com.
| mittee.
, After having been divided for a year,
| the members of the Democratic state
| committee met in a harmonious ses-
sion in Harrisburg, Pa.
{ All factions were represented, and
| the two men who have claimed the
| chairmanship, former Mayor Guthrie,
{ of Pittsburgh, of the “reorganization”
| faction, and Walter E. Ritter, of Wil
| limmsport, of the Guffey “regular” fac-
| tion, sat beside each other on the
| piattorn. Practically every member
| was present, together with many of
| the leaders.
Just before adjournment the com-
mittee adopted a resolution putting
fusion in the hands of the executive
{ committee, The resolution called for
| fusion “in districts with other parties
| in sympathy with Democratic aims and
principles.”
Mr. Guthrie called the meeting to
order and said immediately after the
reading of the call, that to avoid all
questions as to irregularities, Mr. Rit-
ter had also issued a call. “This action
ends all schism and assures a united
Democracy,” said he.
Following a lively row over the
committee membership from Alle
gheny county, in which the “old
guard” element, headed by W. J. Bren-
nan, were bowled out by a vote of 65
to 1, Mr. Guthrie was re-elected as
harmony.
ing all claim to the remaining six
months of the term to which he claim-
ed he had been elected.
The resignation was accepted and
Mr. Ritter's move for harmony was
commended by a resolution adopted
amid cheers. A telegram from Gov-
ernor Wilson, the party's presidential
nominee, giving his congratulations,
also caused a big demonstration.
Allegheny county's contending fac-
tions claimed the attention of the
committee when the roll was called.
The names of Joseph F. Guffey, a re-
organizer, and four of his friends ap-
peared on the roll, and W. J. Brennan,
leader of the faction which had op-
that a change be made, 8. J. Graham,
of Pittsburgh, appeared in behalf of
the men on the roll. Brennan con-
| tended that J. J. McKelvey, J. A. Clark,
8S. J. Tool, C. P. Mayer and himself
had been legally elected by 270 of 310
members and the names had been cer-
| tified to Mr. Ritter.
| Nearly an hour was devoted to ar-
| gument, which at times grew decidedly
| persona! and bitter, ending in the
Brennan crowd remaining definitely off
| the roll.
The Democratic leaders seemed,
prior to the meeting, to be more con-
cerned about effecting fusion with the
i Keystone party on congressional, sen-
| atorial and legislative nominees than
| on state offices, and tentatively decid-
| ed, instead of putting before the com-
| mittee a cut and dried program, to let
| the committeemen speak their minds
and then give the power to effect fu-
sion to a committee of five or seven,
which can treat with the Keystone
state committee.
Friends of Robert E. Cresswell, of
Johnstown, nominee for auditor gen-
eral, were outspoken in their opposi-
tion to having him retire in favor of
Cornelius Scully, the Keystone nomi-
nee. Thely said that William H. Berry
was the candidate of both parties for
state treasurer and sufficiently repre-
sented fusion on the state offices.
Joseph Howley, George R. McLean
and George B. Shaw, three of the nom-
inees for congress-at-large, it was said,
would not think of retiring, and no
one seemed willing even to suggest
the step to E. E. Greenawalt, of Lan-
caster, the labor representative.
SECRETARY WILSON DENIES
Declares He Had Nothing to Do With
Getting Son $10,000 Pob.
Secretary Wilson before a house
committee categorically denied Repre-
sentative Atkin's charges that his son,

year from a western irrigation project
because of the secretary's influence.
Secretary Wilson said he had dope
nothing to get the position for his
son and the government had not given
a cent to the company. Representative
Rucker, Democrat, corroborated the
secretary.
Little Miss Fatally Wounded Playing
With Shotgun.

an empty shotgun, died in the Salis-
bury, Md., hospital.
The entire gun load lodged in the
