12 Graduation Presents For the Girl -AND- For the Boy \ If you were to ask the girl about to graduate to make a list of the presents she would like best as commencement gifts, in the order of her preference, the list no doubt would be about as follows: 1 st. Diamond Ring; 2nd, Watch; 3rd, Wrist Watch; 4th, La- Valliere; sth, Bracelet; Oth, Pearl Beads or Nock Chain, etc. If you were to ask the young man about to graduate to express his preferences in the same way, nine times ont of ten the list would be about as follows. Ist, Diamond Bins; 2nd, Watch; 3rd, Scarf Pin; 4th, Cult Links; sth, Watch Chain or Fob; Oth, Fraternity Pin, etc. Their preferences would naturally be for some article that could be worn a lifetime, as a memento of this—one of the greatest events in their lives, rather than for something that would soon wear out or go ont of style. At Claster's you will not only find unrivaled assortments of all the arti cles mentioned above, but hundreds of others that will make acceptable and enduring gifts.

"I ant satisfied that my friends will be in the majority in the State delega tion," said the Senator when- asked about the result of tho election. "That is all I have to say now." The Senator was called upon while here by Senator E. E. Beidleman and other Dauphin county leaders and ap-1 peared to be very sure of what he said j about the delegation. Penrose Men Make High Claim Friends of the Senator are claiming that he will have over fifty men with hijn in the various business matters which will come before the delegation at Chicago. Some are claiming that there will be sixty men who will act together in the convention. They point, out that the Brumbaugh people are claiming that men who agreed to support .the popular choice for Presi dent wiii be with the Governor's fac tion in everything and that the Gov ernor's advisors do not realize that all the pledge amounts to is a promise to votp on President as long as the dele gate sees fit. There is nothins? binding a delegate elected with a pledge to support the popular choice for President to vote against Senator Penrose, for chairman of the delegation or to act with him and his friends in convention and dele gation matters. Pcnna. at Chicago Penrose men point to the fact that Pennsylvania has an opportunity to be the biggest factor In the national convention. Assuming that there are sixty men who will be with the Sena- ' tor on all matters aside from compli mentary votes on the first ballot for the Governor this will be a force which will have to be reckoned with in the most Important convention in many years. New York's delegation is all split up. Massachusetts has only about thirty standing together. The belief of the Penrose adherents is that, when the delegation's com position is finally determined the Senator will have a big majority. They grant that there will be some men who were not elected on a pledged basis who will feel like giving the Oovernor a complimentary vote, but they say that there is no doubt of the election of the Senator as chairman of the delegation as "the logical thing to do," that the bulk of the delegates I **The New Store of Wm.

( will desire harmony in the delegation and that they will be men of enough firmness to squelch those who may try to Hick up a fuss. Penrose men to-day 1 said that the Governor had shown unexpected strength, but It was asserted in some quarters that his good showing was to some degree because his partisans had voted for him alone in some dis tricts and forgotten the rest. State Committee to Meet Whether the election of Republican State committeemen is certified by the Secretary of the Commonwealth or not by the last day of the month there will be a meeting of the State com mittee to organize. This was done two years ago when returns of elec tion of a number of committeemen had not been received. Penrose Is admitted to have a clear majority on the committee and If the committee is called he will be elected national committeeman, succeeding Henry G. Wasson, and his friends say he will be recognized. It is the hope of the antl-Penrose men that the certification of the elec tion of State committee members will be impossible by May 31 because of the delay in the official count and that no national committeeman being elected before the convention meets that the delegation can be called upon to elect. The department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth will make every effort to get official returns on election of national delegates and alternates and members of State committees be fore June 1. The Republican national convention starts on June 7. The State committees must organize not later than the third Wednesday fol lowing the primary. George D. Thorn, chief clerk to the department, said that no plan had been determined upon, but every ef-11 fort would be made to get official re turns into the Capitol and to certify: them. I Philadelphia Claims Penrose men in Philadelphia were, ' not a bit disconcerted by the abrupt; ' 1 drop in the Penrose majority In Al- j 1 , leglieny county and this morning' ' j claimed that between 52 and 60 dele- j I gates would be favorable to the poll-' Icies of tho Senator. They said that Senator Snyder would be nominated j 1 1 by from 30,000 to 40,000 majority and , ithat John R. K. Scott had been re-j 1 nominated for Congressman-at-large. The Philadelphia people have been i ! making every effort to get a line on j returns In the district which have been! 1 in doubt and said this morning that j 1 the claims of the Brumbaugh forces to ; the delegates in the Northumberland | : and "shoe string" districts were ab- j surd. They also said that districts claimed for the Governor were on the basis that the men would vote for him , on the first ballot and that the admin istration people knew they could not i be counted upon for anything else. The Brumbaugh Side [ "Oh, they're claiming men who were ; | not even elected. We are going to i j stand on our claim of 44 at least i'Which we made last night," said Paul |N. Furman, one of the general staff ' | of the Brumbaugh headquarters. ' | "How about the claim made by Pen i j rose men in Philadelphia that there i' will be over fifty men favorable to t ■ithe Senator?" I "Let them claim. We've got 44 out! i of the 76 now," answered Furman. "Does your claim mean that the 44 i will be with the Governor on every thing, Presidential vote, organization I of the delegation and all that?" "Sure. They are with us and they i are going to stay." The Brumbaugh headquarters staff, however, has not given out the names \of the delegates claimed and is en gaged in shooting holes in lists clalm ; ed by the Penrose forces. As far as can be learned the Brum ; baugh people are taking a sporting ' chance in their national committee | scheme. They realize that the State ; committee is with Penrose and that j If the committee is called and the Sen-- ; ator is elected that he will'be recog nized. Their hope is that the delay j in counts in the districts will prevent ! anything like a complete certification jof a committee which will give an ! opening for attack. Then they will ! demand that the national delegates j settle it and spring a candidate In op position to the Senator, provided, of I course, that they have enough dele j gates to make it worth while. Results Up in tlio Air As has occurred before under the present primary law it is going to be days before the results are officially known. All over the State counties ure shy some districts and with the knowledge that only time will tell men have settled down to await results on the delegates-at-large. The Brumbaugh peoples last night claimed seven delegates-at-large. The most pessimistic Penrose men gave the administration three. Many men look for almost an even break, basing this contention on the way the Governor | ran outside of Philadelphia, especially i in Allegheny. Newspapers Divided Newspapers which have been mak- | I ing efforts to get lines on the delegate j I election have curiously divergent ar ticles. The Philadelphia Public Ledger I says that there is "no doubt but that I 'the control of the delegates from Penn- I isylvania would rest with Senator Pen rose." The North American says t'lat late reports were all favorable to Brumbaugh and that if the fight had been a personal one between the Gov ernor and the Senator, the Senator would have been defeated. The Phila delphia Inquirer says that it is im possible to pick the twelve at-large, but that it looks like ten for Penrose. The Democratic Philadel phia Record says that it looks as though the Governor, Senator W. J. Burke, of Pittsburgh, and W. Freeland Kendrick, of Philadelphia, had been elected delegates and was inclined to think that Penrose would be found to have the better of it. . The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times says that it looks as though a majority of the delegates would go unpledged. The Supreme Court Although late returns show a mount ing vote for Charles Palmer, the Ches ter lawyer, who ran against Justics E. A. Walling, of the Supreme Court. It is not believed here that Palmer will be nominated. Walling is well known in counties to be heard from and his friends say that he will be found to be a winner. However, Palmer only needs to get more than f>o per cent, of the vole to be sole nominee. There are only two candidates this year on the non partisan ticket, but any person can be voted for, and the grand total of the nonpartisan vote must be the deter mining factor. Justice Walling's friends made no effort in his behalf. No one looked for Palmer, who has run as a flller-up of | Prohibition tickets for years, and who | fell outside the breastworks in the ' Superior Court fight last, year, to make I any kind of a showing. There is sonie- I thing in being first on the ballot after 1 all.
