BIG ELECTION IN HUNTINGDON County Will Choose Almost the Whole List of Officers at the November Election The voters of Huntingdon county nominate and elect practically all the officers in the Court House row this year. The only notable excep tion is that of the Sheriff, who was elected in 1917. The local news papers are running several columns of announcements, and teem in every issue with communications in the interest of candidates. Print shops are busy printing cards, cir culars and letters for candidates, of whom there are nearly fifty. All these things are but preliminary to the annual Soldiers" Picnic at Shade Gap, which takes place on Saturday, August 2nd, and which always starts the ball a-rolling when the prim aries are held in the Fall. Hp to the present time few candidates have canvassed the county, because the farmers are busy and not in a mood to lose any time harvesting their beautiful crops. E. M. Beers, of Mt. Union, and W. B. McCarthy, of Huntingdon, are to date the only candidates an nounced on the Nonpartisan ticket for Associate Judge. Five years ago they voted to make the county dry in deference to the preponder ant sentiment of the bailiwick, and it is not believed that any opposition will now develop against them, al though the name of Wesley Wright, of Ardenheim, has been mentioned within the past week. He is as firm a temperance advocate as either one of the Associate Judges now on the bench. For County Commissioner there are thirteen Republican candidates in the field. They are William H. Chilcote and George Sanderson, Huntingdon: Adam J. Black, Broad Top Citv; Selea Cutshall, Spring field: E. A. Hudson. Three Springs; Alfred Fouse, Lincoln; W. A. Mon tague, Dublin: Harry B. Stewart, Porter; Frank Wallace, Union Fur nace; ex-Sheriff Harvey E. Wilson and S. Ganoe, of Mount Union; Charles L. Greene, Todd, and George W. Miller. Shirleysburg. The Dem ocratic candidates so far announced are Joshiah C. Hall, Walter S. Hern cane and A. A. Bollinger, all of Huntingdon. All three members of the present board, Messrs. Black, Cutshall and Hall, are candidates for re-nomination. The Democrats, recognizing the harmony existing in the Republican Party of the county, have trotted out no candidates for A plate without n roof which (toes not Interrera with taste or speech.

The de cision will have far reaching dffect, especially as comfilaints similar to that upon which the decision was given are pending. The borough of Wilkinsburg de clared that the commission could not allow the Pittsburgh Railways Company to charge more than a five-cent fare because that sum was specified in the franchise ordinances of that town. The same principle held in Lancaster and other cases. The commission held that in de ciding whether a fare was reasonable the State need not be bound by a local regulation. Hearings will he held by the commission next week at Philadel phia, Harrisburg, Renovo and Erie, but there will be no executive ses sions held until the following week. The hearings in Philadelphia will he hejd by Commissioner Samuel M. Clement, Jr., and will include cross ings in Chester and Catasaqua and the application for the charter for the Petty Island Ferry company. Those hearings will be held in city hull. The Harrisburg list will include complaint against electric rates at Annville and the application for the Rome Telephone Co., Ltd., a Craw ford county partnership, to take over a telphone system owned by an individual. The Renovo hear ing will be held Thursday on the complaint of the borough against a Pennsylvania Railroad crossing and the Erie hearing is fixed for Friday on a crossing case.

British Watching Cotton Activities of the Americans London, July 19.—A member of Parliament asked the government representatives the other day what : steps, if any, had been taken "to 1 prevent the exploitation of the Lan ' j cash ire spinners by the cotton ex | port corporations now being for ned in the United States with the object of controlling the raw cotton ex ports to Great Britain." The Parliamentary secretary to the British Board of Trade replied that corporations in the United | States were outside the jurisdiction of the British government, but that the government was fully alive to the importance of extending the cot ton-growing areas within the Brit ish Empire. He added that the cot ton growing committee appointed in 1917 was making a systematic survey of the cotton-growing possi bilities within the empire.
