Represented,
Twenty-six of the thirty-six con.
gressional district chairmen meet in
Philadelphia with Democratic Btate
Chairman George W. Gathrie in tne
Bellevue Stratford on Friday. The
Centre county reorganizsrs were repre-
sented by I. J. Dreese.
EXPLAINS REORGANIZERS PLAN,
‘* That there may be no mistaking
the purpose of the reorganization
movement,” said Mr. Guthrie, ** I
wish to say it is simply to put control
of the party back in the hands of the
people. It is for the people them-
selves to decide the policy which thay
want to support. To this movement
Congressman Palmer, myself and the
members of the reorganization com-
mittee are pledged.
‘* Beveral propositions were made to
us as a means of eliminating this so-
called schism in the party. We were
told we could secure a united organi-
zation if we would agree on the dele-
gates to the national convention and
permit them to go uninstructed. I
gaid that could not be, as that was =»
matter for the people to decide, and
no man or number of men had a right
to bargain or forestall the will of the
people.
* I declared that the people had the
right to know just whom their candi-
dates would support in the conven-
tiou. It was suggested in one part of
the state that harmony could be se
cured if your chairman would with-
draw. This almost means we would
go back to the old method of certain
men and interests controlling the
party, and I would not consider them.
It I am ever confident that a majority
of the committee do not want me, I
will drop out, but the people must
have the right about to decide for
themselves without the dictation of
others, ”’
After reiterating the proposition
made some time ago by the Reorgan-
izers that they would agree to one
state convention if those holding prop.
er certificates of election were admitted
to seats and the roll prepared by rep-
resentatives of both sides, Chairman
Guthrie sald :
“ We stand on that proposition that
the Democratic party be ruled by the
Democrats of Peanayivania, and that
the bounest decision of the voters at the
primaries shall be recognized,
Congressman Palmer declared that
the gathering was unprecedented ip
the history of Pennsylvania Democra-
cy and * presages great things.’ He
said that the rules of the party would
be changed to make the Congressional
Committee a part of the state organi-
zation ss they had tremendous poten-
tialities for good. ’

THE SWEEP OF DEMOCRACY,
Pablic Press Will Oppose Roosevelt He.
cause of His Digregard for Pledge and
Revolutionary Utterances,
Conservative public opinlon—that is
opinion that is not bias:d by partisan-
ship—is a unit in the belief that the
fates are about to delegate to Democ-
racy the duty of administering the af-
fairs of this great and prosperous
country. The weakness of President
Taft was not a secret even before the
advent of Theodore Roosevelt as an
active candidate for the Republican
nomination. The latter, by his utter
disregard for his own pledge to the
people, has forfeited their confidence,
and instead of stampeding thecountry
to his standard fuddenly awakes to
the fact tha: the better element of the
people is arrayed against him. This
is emphasized In particular by the op-
position of the Republican press,
which is practically unanimous in de-
nouncing his course, criticising his
revolutionary utterances and in pre.
dioting the impossibility of hissuccess,
The development of this situation
means that neither Taft nor Roosevelt
can be elected, no matter which of the
two receives a masjority of the dele
gates. In the first place the Repub-
lican party has been hopelessly divid.
ed and there Is no power that can
bring it together. If Roosevelt should
be the nominee he could not expect
the support of the Taft following, and
he would be deserted by the great mass
of Republican voters who are steadfast
in their determination that the time.
honored precedent of two terms only
shall not be violated. If Taft should
be the nomiuee he would be antagon-
jzed by that weaker element of the
party that is influenced by the Roose
velt vagaries and is determined that it
shall be the colonel or nobody.
This is the situation that confronts
the Democratic party in the nation to-
day. It is not aquestion of candidates
but of prioeiples. No matter who will
be the Democratic nominee he will
flod a solid and enthusiastic party
back of him, reinforced vy thousands
of Republicans, who, despite the dis
sension within their own ranks, have
come to the conclusion that in order
to solve the economic problems that
stir the country, a complete change of
policy is essential. They believe that
tariff refoum Is necessary in order to
get at the root of the increased cost of
living, to adjust condi dons so as to
eliminate the cause of public complaint
and put the country on a permanently
prosperous footing.
The situation is that of a popular
uprisiog ; it is the people, not a party,
that is demandiug relief from wrongs
brought sbout by misrule aud the eun-
forcement of policies for the benefit of
the few at the expense of the many.
I'he only possible hope of the people
depends on the triumph of the Demo-
cratic party, and regardiess of political
affiliations they are banding together
with the one object in view. While
the advent of Colonel Roosevelt as
candidate does not chsoge the situs.
tion so far as the popular feeling is con-
cerned, it has the effect of still further
reducing the measure of Republican
opposition, for thousands of members
of that party who heretofore have been
passively submissive in their sdber-
ence to the organization are now ine
clined to cut loose entirely and follow
a source of independence that i¢ an
additional guarantee of a great popula:
triumph at the poils in November,
I'he Democratic party has marked
ita course well and can be depended on
to adhere to the lines. The candi.
decies of individuas are merely in-
cidental, and no matter who may be
the choice of the Baltimore convention
the result will be the same,

SERENADERS COME TO GRILF,
Six of Ten Boys Receive Stray Shot from
Gan Accidentally Discharged,
A rerenading party of ten boys sat
the homeof Mr, and Mire, Daniel OC.
Bohn came to grief on Wednesday
evening through the accidental die-
charge of a shot gun in the hands of
one of them, The boys had gone to
the Bohn home to serenade Mr. and
Mra. Sparr Wert, who had been mar-
ried a few evenings before. Young
America was lined up in good form,
beating drums and a large circular
saw, “El” was doing his best
groans, the rattler was twirling rapid-
ly—all were enjoying the music, and
this included the bride and groom and
the guests of theevening—when bang !
the whole orchestra and its leader
were thrown into a state of panic, and
for a good reason. Bix of the ten boys
became receptacles of the shot from
this one charge, some of them receiv-
ing painful wounds and others lighter
injuries,
The Bohn home was at once opened
and became a hospital, Dr. Kidder
was summoned, and the telephones
were kept busy conveying the news to
the parents of the unfortunate youths,
Carl Bohn was the most seriously
injured. He and his brother George
joined the serenaders when they be-
gan the “introductory” at the front
of the house. The former was hit by
twenty-six of the shot in the charge,
two or more of which imbedded
themselves in his knee. The other
shot landed on all parts of his body,
but did pot penetrate to any great
depth.
Bruce and Bamu«l Horner, sons of
George Horner, were also pretty well
scared and Roy Raymond was oneof the
six to be ivjured.
Just how the gun was diecharged
no one seems to know, but it appears
the shot first either struck the large cir-
cular saw or the concrete walk, or per-
hups both of them, all of the lead
pellets having been very much flat.

that the state highway commissioner
early next month will ask for bide for
metal signposts and boards, to be
placed at crossroads and other neces
sary points all over the state. A
number of manufacturers have sub
mitted desigos. The engineering
office of the department has located all

highway commissioner when he took
charge of the department Inst sum-
mer, and he began lospection trips
and at once made plans to have the
defect remedied.
