M'CORMICKSAYS HE WON'T RUN Humes Looms Up Since the Sproul Declaration For the Amendment's Passage National Chairman Vance C. Mc- Cormick declared to newspapar in terviewers at Atlantic City yesterday that "under no circumstances" could he be isegarded as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for gov ernor of Pennsylvania. However, many Democrats have declined to accept the statement as final and the partisans of E. Lowry Humes, United States district attorney for Western Pennsylvania, are continu ing their attacks upon Acting State Chairman Joseph F. Guffey as possible candidate, although he is' booked to start as a stalking horse; on the part of the machine bosses. The uncertainty in the Democratic state organization thus far has been largely due to conditions in the Re publican party. The Democratic, bosses have naturally waited for declarations from the leading Re publicans on the prohibition amend ment, hoping to take advant:ge of any divisions which might arise on that issue. The Philadelphia North American to-day says that the Sproul declaration commits the Re publican party to ratification of the amendment and gives the interesting information that "for two months or more it has been known- that Sproul, the party's probable nominee for governor at the forthcoming pri maries, had decided upon commit ting himself in favor of ratifying the Federal amendment." 6; (i slirdhietaoicmfwy li'intaioleouu Harmony Predicted The Philadelphia Press savs ?n a! Washington dispatch: "Wiliiam C. Sproul will have as his chief plank in his platform for the Republican nomination for governor advocacy of the national prohibition amend ment .and a local option law for Pennsylvania;" The Press also says that the Vareal are in an embarrassing place. They are being asked by the Governor to support O'Neil. It remarks: '.'As politicians the Vares must tie their fortunes to rising powers. And although Senator Penrose has tried to place his stamp on Senator Sproul the Vares are satisfied that he would be fair to them and, therefore, are expected at least to remain nega tive in the primary campaign if they are not active. Whether they ore active depends to a great extent up on the makeup of the ticket. They do not propose to create a condition in the primaries which would make it impossible to elect Sproul in No vember. A condition not far from harmony it 1s predicted will prevail in Pennsylvania politics * before Ilia primary." „ , State fo Be "Dr.v" The North American in dispussing the Sproul declaration as committing the Republican organization to pro hibition, says: "At one of the recent conferences here, it was announced that, as a re sult of a canvass of opinion made •by Secretary Harry Baker, of the state committee, at least fifty-five of the sixty-seven counties of the state are lined up strongly "dry/' Upon this showing of antibooze • strength, it was argued that the j state committee should formally commit the party to ratification of the amendment. Further, a proposi tion was seriously considered to call upon Governor Brumbaugh to make good his suggestion of calling a spe cial session of the Legislature, in or-i der to overwhelmingly ratify the amendment at once and get the li quor question out of politics. "During these discussions Senator Sproul held fast to his own decis ion to declare in favor of the amend ment, and allow the rising tide to sweep the objectors from their moor ings. His judgment has apparent ly been vindicated, for from Penrose down, there has come no dissent to the declaration made by Sproul at West Chester on Saturday, in which he committed himself, and the ticket which he expects to head, to the Federal amendment. Neither the candidacy of Highway Commission er J. Denny O'Neil on a one-issue prohibition platform, or the threats of the liquor interests to run a hooze candidate on an avowed 'liberal' platform, have seemed to bother Sproul at all." McCormiek Wants Peace "Pennsylvania Democrats can elect the governor in the Keystone State next fall if they get together behind the right man," Vance C. McCormick, Democratic national chairman, said to a Philadelphia Ledger reporter at Atlantic City yes terday. "The Democrats cannot "win unless they stop bickering and pick the right man. I can lay stress upon this point', because under no Circum stances am I to' be regarded ss a .candidate. My announcement some weeks ago stands. Given the right man I believe Pennsylvania can be carried by the Democrats, support ed by Independent Republicans. There never was a state that needed a change so badly." Mr. McCormick said he was not in a position to discuss candidates and declined to express any opinion as to the probable course of the state committee with relation to the ques tion of prohibition. "Senator Sprout's espousal of pro hibition gave me something of a jolt," he said. "It is hard to con ceive of Penrose standing for a dry Pennsylvania, and It is almost equal ly difficult to believe Senator Sproul would commit h'imself without con sulting the Senator. He may not have been correctly quoted." Dr. James M. Munyon Dies in W. Palm Beach Philadelphia, March 11.—Dr. James M.

Accord- j ing to officials, this water is entire- j ly too hard and placed the boilers | Ir. such condition that it was impos- j sible to keep them repaired.
