The Mayor-elect had n1ed the 4 auditor general to defer makins any appointments to the mercantile ap praisers' office until after a conference with Mr. Moore. Instead of eomnlj ins Mr.-Snyder, acting with City Tteauror Ted hhoycr. announced Magistrate VVatson's appointment to the $7000 berth. Coroner Jamison's possible candidacy for the state treasurershlp is linked with the rumors of a fight by Joseph Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manu facturers' Association, against Sena tor William E. Crow, of Fujette 'county, chairman of the state Repub lican committee. Auditor Gcnernl Snyder is regarded , as the state committee's slated candi date for. state treasurer at the spring ; primaries. A determined onslaught against the Snyder candidacy, it it, Miiil, may lead to a split in the party iu Pennsylvania. JMr. Jamison nnnounced he plan call on Mr. Grundy today.

An interesting situutiou will develop should Harry A. McDcvitt, the (Jov ernor's secretary, enter the lists for the office of, auditor general. Politicians throughout the state, it is said, may balk at two candidates from the eastern part of the state for offices of treasurer and of auditor general. Mr. Sujder is an "cast ender." Governor Sproul has declined to tnake u definite statement regarding bis attitude in the Grundy -Crow dispute. But men close to his administration as sert Jnis support will be thrown to the vBtSfb chairman. Political Outlook for 1920 Is Muggy Continued from l'use One is the department of great opportuni fities. i S The experiment of the citv cleaning SS? own streets, collecting its garbage v Sphering its ashes and operating its i Su incinerating plants after next New Star's Day is, onlv a few of the things ""xo'iieniand his attention.- Will he start in this January to lay plans for sweeping the streets with his own broom next January? City's Waste Problem Another problem will be the matter of the city's waste. This ranv not be a mattet of politics, but It is of profit -or joss, ions oi oin paper weekly. thousands of tons of kitchen garbage monthly, and all the heterogeneous jit- and rubbish, coal waste and kind- that other cities salvage, present an opportunity. Will John C. Winston become the "golden dust man" of Philadelnhia, ..Contractors, in Xew York pni large stims for the privilege of 'trimming the scows." i. e. , the cit.i rubbish boats. Will Mr. Winston see to it that equita ble bums are paid here for the right to "comb the dumps," to coin a new phrase? As for George F. Sproule, director of harves, Docks and Ferries, he'll have the time of his life peihaps with "pull backs" and "sinister inlluences." In his job of forcing Philadelnhia to first place as a port of entry he will certainly hae an admiring and an ap 'plauding city at his back. His long ' experience in maritime matters is the basis of the people's hope.

The Yarc organization will claim the regular nomination, of course. They hold the control of the city committee. Sheriff Itansley ig the favorite and has the district committee men pledged. From a purely organiza tion standpoint lie is the strongest man they could name. No one has been seriously considered or the tew city administration leaders ye;. The Mayor-elect has been too busy installing the machinery of the new city administration to give the matter the attention It deserves. Indi cations point to the selection of a can didate who will represent business lather than politics, or a combination of both. There are several big men in the dis trict, but they plead the demands of business iu preference to n seat iu Coti giess. It will be n perfeivld rampal u uo matter who is named. The various civic and commercial bodies will, it i understood, oppose Sheriff Itanslcv. Anyhow. David .Martin will have a fight on his bauds With Daid II. Lane, who has a jui jlt.su hold ou .his ward, the struggle will not be so strenuous. Martin and Vare Terms Expire Both Senator Martin and Senator ai-e come up for re-election this jear. So docs Senator Dak and a successor must be named to Senator MrNichol. It is understood that Senator MeNiehol is not deeply interested iu politics. His election in !1S as successor to his father, the late James P. MeNiehol. was a matter of sentiment and respect for the senior. Senator Daix will have his district behind him. His work on behalf of the new city charter, aside from his in terest iu the appropriations commit tee, assures him of this. The status of Senators Vare and Mar tin is interesting. Roth are lighting the new ndmiuistriitiou with beak and talon. Whether there will be letalla- tion is ai: open nuestion. If thpre Is hold Its own, while, equally strenuoui eitorts win be made by tlie new ad ministration to capture a big delegation. Local sentiment nml neighborhood pride always figure 'largely in nomina tions and elections for representatives. For this reason alone interesting results may bo anticipated. With the advan tage of possession of place and power It seems a foregone conclusion that an increased nnti-Vare delegation will go to Harrlsburg. The situation in the state is iu n con dition of flux. If Joseph H. Grundy adheres to his opposition to Senator (.row as chairman of the state Ilepub lican committee it- is entirely probable thnt the senator will retire from the fray. This is n presidential j6ar. Party harmony is the first great desideratum. A light over the state chairmanship would be embarrasiug, if not a disin tegrating force. Senator Crow and his friends are very desirous of avoiding a contest. There is a pronounced im pression that in such event he would withdraw. If he is n candidate to succeed Sena tor Knox in Washington he will want every force and faction behind him. A struggle for the chairmanship might be injudicious under the circumstances. W. Harry Iiaker, secretnry of the Republican state committee, is talked of as an nvnllablc successor to Senator Crow. He is joung and ambitious and has u state-wide acquaintance. He is a warm friend and supporter of Sena tor Crow. The influence of the Rtatc rommittee with P.aker directing its uf fairs would unquestionably be thrown to Senator Crow, against all comers, should he be a candidate for the United States Senate. Well Informed on Affairs Above all no one particularly desires tn provoke Mr. Grundy to the limit. He is perhaps the best informed man in the state, not a leader or office holder, on the inside of politics nnd Harrisburg. nc nas p-i..lntinn lit nninn.l ii hr pxnprlence: not always of , ,---. -.......i'.i, .i iiicii; i. hmniu .- .. 4--- -. . u run dp pretty well assured that re- a kind to stretigriicn ins mii iu mi duced majorities will figure in both inanity of n certain kiud.

The stnle organization will lnigely decide this question. There ant some upstate leaders who really regard this rotation In office as demoralizing to party harmony. Anjhow, there will be a lot of other good nnd prominent men on the list before it Is closed.

A Mitchell Palmer is a formidable Dem ocratic candidate because Peunsjlvania is so largely llepublicau and will re main so.
