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.

PENROSE SAYS FRIENDS
ARE IN CONTROL

side. He will be at Wllllamsport to
night.
"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

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.
