Ther'e was a reason. Passen ger trains were running on time, and freight traffic was going with a rush that indicated a record ear movement for March. For the first time in many weeks, clerks at the Hureay of Information found It easy to say "on time," when inquiries were made about schedules. It was like old times to the ushers and ticket examiners, as handling tlie big crowds was more satisfactory. Boy Scouts.

The commissioner went from Philadelphia to the hard coal region Saturday and yesterday addressed three big meetings in Wiiliamsporf, speaking at Newberry Methodist and First Baptist Churches and at a men's meeting attended by 700 vot ers. He rapped the liquor interests in politics and called on'the men to register and to put rum clown :md out. There is considerable interest In what Governor Brumbaugh proposes j to do in the campaign. The Gover-| nor intimated last week that he; would continue to find texts in his diary ajul the opposing forces inti mated that if he did they would ask; him questions. Congressman B. K.' Focht, of Lewisburg, in an interview at Washington attacked the Governor for dropping William Hertzler deputy secretary of the Common-j wealth and not appointing William | F. Eekbert, or Mifflin county, as a! factory inspector, and assailed the administration's record. The Gover-t nor returned here to-day, but gave no intimation of what he intends to, do. Regarding the second place on the; ticket it looks like a light. According to the Philadelphia Ledger "Senator | Vare yesterday said the proposed i conference between the mayor, the* Vare coUnty officials, ward leaders and members of the city committee would be held at the headquarters of the Republican city committee with in ten days. No indication natural ly has been given as to the guberna- j torial choice to be effected there, but the prospects of an indorsement of Senator .Sproul, the Vare leaders as sert. hangs on the manner in which the Sproul element takes the candi dacy of Representative John R. K. Scott for lieutenant governor. For Senator Vare and those associated with him throughout the state '.lave; determined that the congressman will bo named for second place on the state ticket." Secretary of Internal Affairs Paul W. llouck is furnishing much of the interest in politics at the State C'api- j tol as his friends have secured blank j petitions for secretary of internal af fairs and state senator.

He is not here to-day and in his ab sence friends at the Capitol will not say anything that,would commit him. Lex N. Mitchell, member of the House from Jefferson-county, who is out with an announcement of candi dacy for Republican nomination for congress-at-large, has announced himself for woman suffrage, the dry amendment, state and national pro hibitary laws and humane legisla tion.
