That sweet tot I took on my knee. And there, as her tears quickly van ished. None ever more joyous than we.

DELEGATE FIGHT SUBJECT OF TALK Candidates Are Being Quietly Set Up All Over the State; State For Hughes? Opinion appears to be divided on the northern and southern tiers of coun ties whether there will be a contest over the election of delegates to the Republican national convention and the Republican state committee in May. From information being re ceived here it appears that friends of Governor Brumbaugh, friends of Sen ator Penrose and the progressive ele ment are setting up candidates for delegate and it seems to be the impres sion that certain Republican leaders in the eastern part of the State are dis posed to upset the apple cart when everything is arranged. The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day says that there will be harmony, but the Philadelphia Ledger says that what it calls "The Vare Combine" will favor Hughes. Other papers intimate that there will be a fight, although they say that Congressman Vare smiled when asked what he had to say about a recent alleged observation on him by Senator Penrose. The ledger says: "It became known to-day that the Vares will combine with several enemies of Penrose, among them T. I>arry Eyre, of Chester county, and ex-Mayor Magee and Wil liam Flinn, of Pittsburgh, to force the nomination of national delegates who will respond to the Progressive spirit in Pennsylvania. These delegates will be elected without instructions and will support Governor Brumbaugh on the first ballot, or until it Is seen that he has no chance for the nomination, and then turn to Associate Justice Hughes or some recognized upstanding Progressive. They might turn to Roosevelt if the convention should he more favorable to him than any other Progressive. Aside from the fuc tional tight in the Pennsylvania dele gation, the greatest national sig nificance attaches to the talk for Hughes. It is believed that the oppo sition to Penrose will cement the senti ment in Pennsylvania for Hughes and eventually that the State will cast almost a solid vote for him at Chicago. "Pennsylvania was the only State which four years ago cast votes for Justice Hughes. Two votes came from Representative W. W. Griest. and W. H. Keller. • Deputy Attorney General, from Pennsylvania, who were dele gates from Lancaster county, elected as anti-Roosevelt delegates. These men would not support Taft and re corded their preference for Justice Hughes. Mr. Griest said to-day: 'T believe as I did four years ago that Justice Highes is one of the few men who can unite the Republican party and carry it to victory'." The Inquirer says: "Senator Pen rose declined yesterday to make any comment upon the recent clash over the election of a member of the Re publican national congressional com mittee further than to predict the election of George R. Graliajn to that position when the Pennsylvania dele gation meets again next Wednesday. " 'ls the Governor to be a candidate for national delegate-at-large?' Sen ator Penrose was asked yesterday aft ernoon. "'lt is customary,' replied the sen ator, 'for a State to send the Governor and the two L'nited Stated senators to national conventions as delegates-at large when they ure all of the same party.' " 'Have you had any assurance that the Governor will be a candidate?' was i asked. " 'ft is my understanding that he Is willing lo be a candiate.' responded Senator Penrose, 'but 1 have had no direct information from the Oovernor upon the subject'." Cadillac Reports Big New York Show Business New York, .Tan. 8. "The Cadillac dealers have always done a btg busi ness at the shows," remarked Sales Manager Howard, "hut the show just closed has been the most successful of all. "Of course, the factory has not pre tended to do any business, as our en tire product of the new eight-cylinder cars for the coming year was covered by contracts from dealers some months stfo. "However, our dealers in New York, Jersey City, Brooklyn, Newark and other nearby cities, as well as those from the East, generally, all report cloning more retail sales than ever be fore. In fact, there are a few dealers who have taken retail orders covering i their entire allottments and are making «tr*jiuous effort* to get more cars," wellysELgorner: January promises to be a busy month for the Big Five of Mlddletown. Next Saturday the Baker A. C. will line up against the Mlddletown quin tet and on January 18. the Big Five will go to Annville for a game with Lebanon Valley Reserves. Later in the month the "R" team of York will he tackled. Mlddletown expects to show up strong this season. Big "Bill" Hollenback wants a regu lar job. When he said he would coach the University of Pennsylvania team without charge, lie wanted it under stood that he was sincere. Now that another coach has been elected, and will be paid a large salary, Hollen back does not propose to give his time without pay as an assistant. He expects to land a berth with Washing ton and Jefferson. It is a safe bet that if he goes West, there will be something doing. Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh heavy weight, for the seconcr time within two months, has proven his right, as a contender for championship honors. His victory last night over "Jim" Cof fey, the Irish champion, was decisive. Moran recently has been showing a re markable punch. His endurance is the only point questioned.

The Harrisburger has reported to "Barney" Dreyfuss, and will do his winter training In the Pirate City, Schacht is a coming twirler. One tliihg in his favor is that he has the nerve to go into any game and at any time. He is a bearcat for work, and is of the type that wins out.
