After declaring tint he believed Mr

Bonniwell s cinunign. Mr Palmer
charged that no hatlsfactorj answer had
been made bv those concerned
' The facts In these charges," he de
clared emphitlcallv, "are the unvar

Mr. P?lmer took the flpor before the
resolutions were put to a vote He
said ho was not going to repeat the
charges which he made last week
He referred to the "disagreeable
task" he had been forced to perform
Palmer went through the charges
which he made and Judge Bonnlw ell's
answer In detail
"I am convinced, as every other think
ing man is, ' declared Palmer, ' that
John Sinnolt told me the truth "
Judge Bonniwell, he dec'aitd, has not
denied the charges as made. He fur
ther declared that "neither Penrose nor
SInnott" had denier: the essential points
of the charges, vvliich vveie, in effect, that
they sponsored Bonniwell In his candi
dacy, as representing liquor interests in
Pennsylvania. ,
"Has Sproul denied them? He has
not," exclaimed Palmer, amid applause,
In taking up thj charges and nnswus
Palmer said he was going to speak only
for himself.
"Mr. McCormick," he saald. "needs no
defense for me All the old slanders
which have been used against me to

Further serious charges were pre
ferred against Judge Bonniwell by Pal
mer. Among other things he charged
that neither Judge Bonniwell nor any
one else had filed an expense account
bhowlng who supplied the "tB4.00O which
was used to pay for the Bonniwell prim
ary letters sent out from the Municipal
Court."
"Has Judge Bonniwell answered the
charge." continued Mr. Palmer. ' that
he worked for Senator Sproul among the
State firemen, prior to announcing his
own candidacy?"
"No," shouted Palmer," every fireman
In the State would rise up and con
tradict him "
Prolonged applause followed the
address
Merry Aaaalla Liquor Influence
William H. Berry, . Collector of the
Tort of Philadelphia, also spoke, follow
ing the presentation of the resolutions
which Ignore Judge Bonniwell Mr,
Berry made a scathing attack on Judge
Bonniwell. Silence greeted most of his
references to Bonniwell, but the men
tion of the names of Palmer and Mc
Cormick evoked applause.
Declaring that the truth of the charges
and answers was up to the voters'
Judgment, Mr. Berry exclaimed!
"I know that In 110 the Influence of
the liquor people was UBed In the Al

"When Senator Lpioul, Republican
nominee for Governor," continued Berry,
"announced himself as favoring the rati,
ftcatlon of the prohibition amendment,
whatever may have been his motive, It
became (desirable to the liqur Interests
to have a club over his head
"Why Bonniwell wants to sink every
one else Into oblivion and wants to take
a boie btth In the sanctuary of Democ
racy Is more than I can understand"
Consideration of the resolutions was
further delayed by calls for Vance C.

A suggestion by Italph Smith, vof
Pittsburgh, that William H. Berry be
designated as the party candidate artd
a sticker campaign be carried on for

So'me concern was shown over the
contest for Supreme Court. The Demo
crats fear that If too many Democrats
enter the race, the Republicans may
unite on two candidates and elect them
both.
In opening the meeting, Lawrence H.

the Democratic conduct of national
