REPUBLICAN CONG. CONFERENCH, The republican congressional confer: ence will meet at DuBols, this Thursday. Dr. J. M. LOCKE announced by many as the winner for the reason that he and would open up his honor. barrel for this He came to Bellefonte as soon as Dr. Locke won Centre's conferees and made various propositions tothe M. D that were flattering, tempting, but up to this time are considered as vot comvinc- iog, as the Dr. is as anxious to go to congress as Dressler. It supposed that Dressler will capture Bill Arnold's Clearfield conferees, but until be pays well for them. Barclay is also known as a man of means and the competition of these two boodlers may make the price a little high. Dr. Locke and his friends are hopeful of finally landing the nomination for Centre coun ty. Their claim is on Alex. Patton, re- publican uvominee for Senator from Clearfield. They say that for a long time Centre county's republican con fcrees have been voting for Clearfield rien for Senate and Congress, and it is Clearfield’s turn to reciprocate. If Alex. Patton bopes to get to the State Benate be mast recognize Centre county's claims, they say, and see that they sup. | port Locke for Congress. If Centre and | Clearfield should thus combine they, for a time, would tie the conference and then, after a certain time, it would vote on basis of proportion of vote and would bave the majority asd name Locke. can get Patton to act with them remains to be seen, Dr. Locke has chosen the following conferees from this county: County chairman W.
