Guffey should make his run for the nomination for governor on a dry ticket. Palmer and others foreseeing the trend in the Demo cratic party, counseled that the can didate should remain neutral. Mr. McCormick's views prevailed finally, and the leaders having the support of the national administration were completely routed in the state fight and in mdst of the legislative dis tricts. "There have been sudden down falls of Democratic leaders in Penn sylvania, but the crushing defeat administered McCormtck and Palmer has been the most unexpected.
