COMMISSIONER LYNCH IJIDN'T\ DISGUISE MZFASimme 1 I?.!FIF??&N THIS FLOAT.ENTITLED THE WMHOUST IN UNIQUE ■*& ■ SCOUT, SHOWS'"WKOR BEWEF AT HIS FSSTIMFC BOTH COX AND BALDWIN CLAIM VICTORY WON [Continued From First Page] were dealing with figures and names and the Cox people were general in their statements. George W. Williams, Tioga, the third candidate, said he was in the race to the finish and inclined to be emphatic about it. Baldwin Stands By Claims At the Baldwin headquarters his managers said at 1 o'clock that there were enough members of the Repub lican caucus in the city at that hour to nominate Baldwin and that more were coming in this afternoon. "I stand by my estimates," was Mr. Baldwin's statement. "My fight was won days ago." Friends of the Delawarean said that he had been gaining and that men claimed by the other side had come in this morning and pledged their to Baldwin. Claims were made at the Baldwin headquarters that he would run away ahead of the number necessary to nominate in the caucus and W. T. Ramsey, member from the city of Chester, who will present the name of Mr. .Baldwin said that he saw even more members for Baldwin than when he made his statement the other eve ning. It takes 85 to nominate in the caucus and 104 to elect on the floor of the House. Cox Men Standing Pat Without giving out any figures or names the boomers of Mr. Cox were claiming he would win. Their head quarters were scenes of the greatest activity and the leaders were working under forced draft in their efforts to get hold of every incoming member. Congressmen W. S. Vare and John R. K. Scott, Senator E. H. Vare and others were busy and scouted the Baldwin claims while Mr. Cox serene ly predicted he would win. The Cox people are said to be bas ing their hopes on some late hour de velopments and refused to be inter ested by the parade of Allegheny men to Baldwin headquarters and the claim of Pittsburgh leaders for Baldwin that he would have sixteen and maybe seventeen of the Allegheny delegation. The Cox people were claiming In roads on the McNichol seventeen in Philadelphia and rumors were that Mayor Smith was to be here to help. Mr. Williams said that he was a candidate to the finish and was not popular with the Cox men. Mr. Wil liams' name will be presented by his colleague, Frank H. Marvin, who has been exceedingly busy working for him. Olive Branches Rejected In spite of denials there was some waving of olive branches between dusk and dawn and there were sus picions that unofficial, unaccredited, but nevertheless, reliable emissaries had been passing back and forth. State Treasurer Young was said to have been endeavoring to heal the breach but he had nothing to say. One of the reports was that some one in the friendship of men aligned with the Cox candidacy had suggested to Williams that the Cox men would throw him their votes, but Mr. Wil liams said that no one had been whispering in his ear and added that he was not making deals with any body. Incidentally, he said he would be a candidate to the end. The Baldwin people not only de clared they would have no com promise but said that what had been going on under cover convinced them more than ever that the Cox-State ad ministration forces had been routed and were seeking to palliate the wrath to come, while statements drew the usual tart rejoinders from the Cox managers, who made some remarks about "entertaining fiction." This comment was countered by a Baldwin leader who said "cold facts" and the Cox people to use the "acid tett" on their list and make It public. Lightning Rods Up Several lightning rods were re ported as having been erected in the hope of a compromise, but their re puted owners wer<r ver;" coy tbo it them. For Instance, Aaron B. Hess, member from Lancaster city, who will likely get the votes of the Lancaster men, except Quentln Reltzel, who is with the Fourth Infantry at the bor der, was mentioned as a good man, upon whom all might unite. Naturally, he was willing, but not advertising. Joseph H. Phillips, of Clearfield county, was also in a hopeful state and thoroughly Imbued with his qualifica tions. as a harmonlzer and presiding officer. Fred C. Ehrhardt, of Scranton, one of the granduncles of tho House, was also put in the possibility class be cause of some statements he made a few days ago. ~ Democratic Bosses Meet In an effort to give the warring Re publicans an example of brethren dwelling together in unity the Demo cratic ringmasters' committee, com posed of the leading bosses outside of tho national and State chairmen and national committeemen, met and de cided to support Herr Wilson C. Sarlg, of Temple, Berks county, Pa., as the candidate of the reorganized, unterri fled, temporarily united Democracy of Pennsylvania us represented in the lower house of the .Legislature by ex actly 37 out of 207 votes. There were HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH This Is What Got t A corner of Capitol Park showing how thoroughly the pasting crew did its work. POLICE CHIEF RAILS AT FLYING-PASTING CORPS [Continued From Mrst Page] face. Do you wonder that Chief of Police.J. Edward Wetzel got sore? Not that the suggestive tips, slangily speaking, got the police head's official goat. No indeedy. He's used to the blood stuff. But it was the way the Philadelphia pikers—take it from the Chief and make it as strong as you want in the papers, "they're Phila delphia pikers"-—did the job. Furthermore they did it well. A force of men from the department broke a whole lot of New Year's reso lutions the first day when they tried to peel the cuss-producing bills from post and other vantage point. rtimoro that B. Morrison Strauss, of the flourishing borough of Mohnton, Berks county, and Harvey Chrisnian, Linfield, Montgomery county, had am bitions, but they were not on exhibi tion very long. The Democratic ringmasters adopt ed a glowing program of legislation to be submitted to the general assem bly and seemed to be proud of the work. Tho Democrats will parade their program and demand that every Dem ocrat vote for the Democratic candi date for speaker upon pair of displeas ure of tho Scholar In the White House. This was put out because of the usual tolk about Democrats who might switch. No Dismissals To-dav Governor Brumbaugh did not dis miss any more officials to-day but it was broadly intimated at the Capitol that when the caucus was over offi cials, deputies, commissioners and at taches whose members were not "right" or who failed to deliver would be asked to resign. The resignation of Commissioner of Banking William H. Smith, requested on Saturday, is expected in a few days and is pointed to as an evidence that the Governor is in earnest. Likewise the resignation of Samuel B. Rambo is referred to as an example. Whether the resignations have caused more irritation or fright is hard to say among the members. The Governor did not name a suc cessor to A. Nevin Pomeroy as super intendent of public printing and bind ing, who resigned on request some time ago as the first of the martyrs. Mr. Pomeroy was on hand to explain the details of his department and to turn over the business, but the Gover nor gave no sign of making an ap pointment and as for filling Mr. RIVAL SPEAKERSHIP " :^H V^H M Hm mk HHHP^'^lh S - H><^, EDWIN R. COX le Police Chief's Nannie I "But the fact that the pasting was done and done just after our order against this sort of thing, isn't what gets my nannie." snapped Chief Wet zel to-day. "It's the way they went about It. I understand that a force of men from a Philadelphia bill-posting ! company did it. But it was done when we were not looking as it were. If we'd have caught any of the blankety-blank and then some-—fel lows, you can bet some of them would i he in police court this afternoon. But that's where they played it so low down on us. They got in here and did their dirty work—between the time our night men went off and our day men went on!" ; Then, too, Harvey Long, manager of a local bill-posting company sent up a wail. "What gets me," said he, "is that folks think wc did it because even our boards were used." Ilamho's place it was said he was con sidering qualifications of a number of men not necessarily local. The Governor to-day extended the period for the resignation of Chair man J. Louis Breitinger, of tho Board of Censors of Motion Pictures, until January 15. Breitinger was dismiss ed on purely political grounds last week and sent the Governor a letter which included the following: "There is quite a good deal of work In con nection with the system and details of the work of the office and will re quire my straightening out matters in Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and Philadel phia and opportunity ought to be af forded mo to do this, especially so as the two holidays intervene. I would, therefore, suggest that you permit the time of resignation to take effect as of January 15, 1917." Governor Brumbaugh replied: "Sug gestion in your letter that your resig nation be accepted to take effect January 15, 1917, is approved by the Governor." Precautions of an unusual nature are being taken by legislative officials to guard tho caucus meeting of the Republicans to-night and policemen will be numerous. Only members of the legislature who are Republicans and accredited newspapermen men will be admitted and they will have to pre sent cards, bearing names. Hundreds of people are here for the opening of the session and drawn by the contest and all sorts of efforts to get into the caucus will be made. Therefore no chances will bo taken and even the big leaders will not be allowed to enter the room. The Democratic members said they would not need police protection for their caucus and James H. Maurer, the lone Socialist member did not announce where he would meet with himself for his party caucus.

Suitors from out of town who make Sunday night calls upon Mantua girls no longer liavo to keep the lights turned high so that they can watch the clock. Such precautions are no longer neces sary, as the Public Service Corpora tion has installed whistles on its cars. Callers have been wont to show signs of uneasiness when the midnight hour approached, as it is quite a walk back to Woodbury if they miss the last car, especially on cold nights. The "owl car" now toots its warning to the lingering ones as it comes into town, giving time for the saying of linal farewells before it starts back again. Still, the "toots" are not always wel come sounds. Skating on City's Ponds Sanctioned by Park Dept. V. Grant Forrer, assistant superin tendent of parks, announced this morning that the Park Department had officially sanctioned skating on Wildwood, Paxtang and Sunshine Parks. He stated that grown-ups can skate on Wildwood and Paxtang and that Sunshine Park pond will be re served for the children. The red flag, usually displayed on top of the Calder building as an indi cation of skating, will not be dis played to-day. The flag has been mis laid. The restroom at Wildwood was opened at 9 o'clock this morning for the accommodation of skaters.

"During 1916, the Pennsylvania railroad rendered to the public the greatest and most important service of its history We carried, with safety and dispatch, more passengers and more freight than ever before in twelve months' time, a result which reflects great credit on the organiza tion which accomplished it, and of which we are all a part.
