WASHINGTON, Sopt 30.-neprcsenta-ttvo
A. Mltcholl Palmer. Democratic
nominee for United States Senator In
Pennsylvania, Is to appear beforo tho
flenata Committee on Privileges and Bice
tlons on Monday to urgo favorable no
tion on tho Norris resolution. This an
nouncement was made today by Sonator
Kern, nfter ho had failed to got together
a fiuorum for a meeting of tho commit
tee this morning.
Two Washington party Congressmen,
Kelly and Walters, appeared at tho
oommltteo room this morning to testify
as to tho expenditures of Boles Penrose
In the Pennsylvania primary. Failure
of a sufficient number of the members
tb attend the meeting, however, mado It
necessary for Chairman Kern to an
nounce a recess until Monday, at 10
o'clock, when Messrs. Kelly and Wal
ters will bo heard.
Despite tho strong opposition of tho
Old Guard of tho Senate to tho Nnrils
resplutlon, which provides for an Inves
tigation of tho Pennsylvania and Illi
nois senatorial primaries, Senator Clapp
nnd other advocates aro now more
libpeful that tho resolution will bo fa

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS
IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES
Their Votes Causing a Flurry Among
Politicians as to Intent.
WILMINGTON, Del., Sept. 20,-Dld the
Democrats who Voted at tho Republican
primaries and assisted In nominating the
legislative candidates In a number of
districts Intend to vote for thorn In tho
election, or was thero a trick In It? This
Is the question which Is now agitating
some of the Republicans, and they have
not found an answer. It Is known that
In this city n largo number of Demo
crats cither voted or attempted to vote
nt the primaries In certain districts. In
ono district tho vole of one Democrat
was challenged, and there came hear bo
Ine trouble.
In some of the country districts It Is
alleged the same thing occurred and some
dnlaro that tho "wet" people went be
hind tho Democrats and assisted In malt
ing tho nominations. Some Republicans
are Inclined to think the thing was a
trick, but others believe the Democrats
are tiled of their own party on account
' me iiuru umes nnu intend to vote tne
Republican ticket, for that reason they
took part In tho Republican primaries.
Under tho primary election laws of this
omie a man who registers within a cer
tain time has a right to vote at the pri
maries which he chooses, but cannot vote
nt more than ono primary.. This year
tliu Democrats had comparatively few
contests for county olllcis and for mem
bers, of tho I.rglslatuic. and It Is tills
which causes the doubt.

ELECTION PROBE REFUSED
Judge Johnson Dismisses Delawaie
County Grand Jury's Information.
MEDIA, Pa., Sept. 30. Judge Johnson
lato yestciday afternoon refused to
permit the Delaware County Gtnnd Jury
to probe alleged election f lauds In the
Sixth Ward, Chester. The Grand Jury
came before tho courts with Infoimatl'in
that It had been furnished affidavits that
a chain system had been worked In tho
Sixth Ward, Chester. That Is to say,
the flrst voter would go Into a booth with
a blank ballot which he would deposit
In tho ballot box. Tho legal ballot he
would take away and this would be
marked for the next voter, who In turn
retained tho official ballot handed him.
In this way ballots of many voters could
bo Illegally marked.
In refusing to allow tho Grand Jury to
Investigate, Judge Johnson said:
"Under the law members consider only
such mnttcis as are regularly brought
before It or which come within the per
sonal knowledge of the members."
Tho Grand Jury then submitted Its re

WEST CltnSTEIt, Sept. 30.-Scnator
Penroso cannot but feel that something
has gono wrong when ho learns that the
county r.epubllcan Executive Commit
tee, nt Its meeting hero yesterday, for
got to ndopt resolutions In behalf of his
candidacy nnd proclaim the great service
ho has performed for the nation, as has
always been the custom of tho commit
tee when In session in tho past.
When ono of tho committeemen hinted
sotto -.olce that a resolution bo adopted
pledging the Senator tho BLpport of Ches
ter County Republicans, he was quietly
told that theio would be no resolution
offend.
In the meeting room there It a largo
portrait of Doctor Brumbaugh, and also
ono of Mr. Penrose. At tho close of the
proceedings, a large group took a stand
before the former's portrait nnd said nice
things of him, telling eaelt other whnt
they meant to do on November 3, In see
ing that tho Doctor got tho full votes
of their respective precincts. The
pin trait of Penroso was unnoticed.
Larry Eyre, nluas head and front of
meetings of the County Committee, was
present, nnd In a few words fewer than
hf has ever known to titter nn such oc
casions before, pointed to the great vic
tory in store for th. G. O. P. nnd urged
every member to activity from now until
the election. There wus some applause
on ills mil vine note, but It wasn't of the
whole-souled order that wus once heard
in the committee, when Sir. Hyro called
the faithful to the patty colors.
The nutting was decided) short In en
thusiasm, aside from a warm feeling for
Iiii tot Hiunibaiigli. Chilli man Kred Mac
Por.nld aniiuunted that Doctor Urum
liaugh would come into tho county be

with leal applause
VANCE M'CORMICK PAYS
UNHERALDED VISIT TO CITY
Calls nt Headquarters of Washington
Party Where He Is Not Recognized.
I'lihuraldcd nnd apparently unexpected,
Vance lj. McCormlck, Democratic nominee
for Uovernor, who was icrently Indnised
by the State Coiiimitteo of tho Wash
ington party, stepril Into tho State
Headquarters nf the Washington party,
on tiu twelfth lluur of tin- Htal K.-t.ite
Tniit Hiilldlng. IhU afternoon and in
quiicd for A. .Vevlu Detiiuh. Washing
ton party State Chairman.
A fcliuoginphcr, falling tu recognize Mr.
Mi'i'ormlck. asked:
"And what Is you business with Mr.
Detllih!" 1
Tin explanation that tile visitor was
thf candidate, vlmui the Washington
p.nty was siippoiting for tioveinor
brought an apology from the woirled
steni'rfiuplier uutl also the Information
that Mr. Dctitih was "out to lunch "
Mr Mcl'oiinlck said that he would be
tack later in the afternoon to see Mr.
Dutiicli. The nature of the business
whlili brought him to Philadelphia so
suddenly and the matters which, might
be discussed In thu "conference" with
tho Washington patty Slate Chairman
Mr McConnlck declined to state.
He seemed tcry reticent, and only
stated that he had nrrlved here from
Harrisburg slioitly after noon today and
that he would leave for Pittsburgh about
1 u'llock this afternoon. Regarding his
jrnsi"-i.ts of ilectton he. . priced him
self as confident. "The whole ticket, too.
will be elcUed." he said.
DETROIT, Mch., Bept. 3o.-Polltlcs held
the centre of tho stngo In Michigan today
when tho fnll conventions of the threo big
political parties Democratic, Republican
nnd Progressive assembled. Tho Demo
crats held their sessions here, the G. O.
P. forces met In Kalamazoo, while the
Hull Moosers held forth at Ray City.
fiach party was to make Its nomina
tions for the bfllccs of Secretary of State,
Auditor General, Attorney General, Slate
Treasurer and State Land Commissioner,
in addition to selecting new State central
committeemen nnd drafting platforms.
Interest centered In tho Democratic con
ventions, where tho long standing feud
between tho "Wilson-Democrats" nnd tho
Wood-Shields faction threatened trouble.
State Chairman Shields declared early to
day that the "organization" wing would
be In complete control, although the "Pro
gressives" promised to mnke a last-ditch
light for the seating of their contesting
delegation from Wnyno (Detroit), Cal
houn nnd Delta Counties. Success In this
tight would give them control of the
convention nnd Hiibcquent control of the
party organization In Michigan.
Thero wns every Indication that the
Republican gathering In Kalamazoo
would be serene and peaceful. The one
chance of n serious clash apparently
reBtcd In the possibility that Chase S.
Osborn, the nominee for Governor, and
the pnrty leaders might not agree on
platform planks. Osborn several months
ago went on record ns favoring tho
lecall of Judicial decisions, but when
this Issue threatened to stir up Internal
strlfo in the party, he announced that
ho would mako no cfTort to dictate his
indlcal views Into the party platfoim.
Contests for places on the various
party tickets were comparatively few
and mostly unimportant.
OLD GUARD ASKS
FEDERAL EMPLOYES
FOR CAMPAIGN AID
Letters From Democratic
City Committee Viewed
With Suspicion as Product
of Bipartisan Machine.
Federal employes In this city believe
that a secret Investigation to determine
tho political affiliation of every person
employed In tho various Federal de
partments here Is being conducted by
ngents from Washington. There la lit
tle possibility, however, of the results
of the Investigation being made public,
the employes say, since one of the flrst
things that will be uncovered will bo
the attempts of the "Old Guard" Demo
cratic City Committee to levy political
assessments upon the Federal employes.
Letters requesting substantial and
prompt contributions to the Democratic
campaign fund have been received by
nearly all the employes In the Postoftlce,
the Custom House and the Internal
Revenue departments within tho last
two weeks. The letters Btate that the
City Committee is the legally constituted
organization of tho Democratic party In
Philadelphia.
"Despite the force of their declara
tion," snld ono ' of the Postofllce em
ployes tills afternoon, we have not for
gotten threats made by the 'Legally con
stituted City Committee,' when Ryan
lost the nomination for Governor. We
feel that to conti Unite to the bi-partisan
City Committee would be about the same
as to h.iiid tho money to Penrose. The
two have worked hand In hand before,
nnd wo will have to sco veiy conclusive
proof before we will believe that the
City Committee and Penrose are not
secretly allied In this campaign.
"Tho one sentence In the letter, 'the
committee is the legally constituted
oiganlzatlon of the party In this city,'
mav delude a few of the Federal cm
rloes Into making contributions to Pen
rose, but Hint number will bo few."
The letters are signed by II. Got don
Hiomli'v, ns chairman of the committee;
John O'Donnell, as chairman of tho Organ
ization Committee, and IMward l- Hennls,
as treasurer.

to sit In tho special session, today sub
mitted a report to the General Assembly,
They declared that no technicalities
surrounded the light to sit of Senator
Harrltf nnd Representatives McDonald and
Stocckel, and Spcnkcr Holcomb,
In the casbs of Representatives Cooper
nnd Swan, Who are charged with being
dunl ofllcehotdpis, thoy repotted that thero
wai doubt, hut thit the House, under
the Constitution, wns the Judge of the
eligibility of Its members.
After an hour's skirmishing between
tho DemocintK and Republicans, tho eligi
bility of Rcpiosentatlvcs Cooper and Swan
was referred to a committee of Ave. Tho
Dcniocints control the committee.
Representative Cooper, of Wilmington,
resigned on Monday as Inspector of drugs
and chemlculs in tho Philadelphia Cus
tom House.
Representative Swnn Is postmnster nt
Dflnware fit.. Although he lind In
I mined legislators of both parties ns late
as h.st night that he did not Intend to
resign, dponkrr lli.lcomb announced that
lie bud seen Mr Swan's resignation. .Mr.
swan did not attend the sc-ilon today.
Repn seutatlves Swan and Cooper are
Dcniocints. Should the committee of five
to whom their eligibility was submitted
throw the matter to a vote in the House,
the Democruts could seat tho two by a
majority of live votes.
Kx-Attorncy General Ward, who read
the opinion, representing the attorney
general, snld that the fact that the Fed'
eral office holding members have resigned
would not qualify them to sit In the spe
clnl session.
He emphasised, however, that the
House alone was the Judge of Its roll
of members and that no tribunal could
question it acts. In explaining the
drafting of the opinion, Mr. Ward told
the legislators that a conference with
tho State Judges had been holu and that
the reports embodied the unanimous views
of all members of the bench,
Contests had been launched against
Speaker Holcomb and Representatives
Stoeckel nnd McDonald and Senator
Harris by Republicans, because of minor
technicalities surrounding their rights to
serve. Speaker Holcomb, secretary to
Senator Saulsbury, Is secretary of tho
Senate Committee on Coast and Insular
Surveys Harris has been postmaster at
Olascow, but resigned after his election;
the other Representatives had moved from
their election districts.
The Attorney General ana Code Com

rolo In Washington could not be con
strued ni a Federal position, but that he
was merely holding an outsldo office.
The committee which will decide
whether Cooper nnd Swan should forfeit
their seats Is composed of Representatives
Mooney, Owens, Hammond, Grantlnnd and

the latter Republicans.
