However, it is indicated that maybe the Gleasonites have been success- ful in electing the greater num- ber of party committeemen and women and perhaps will be in the best position to elect their Republican County Chairman early in the summer. Presently, in order to patch up factional- ism within the party, two co- chairmen have been serving. In all liklihood, that will come to an end. » Without question, the Demo- crats in the coutny have by far the best organization, and that organization has been gaining in effectiveness, rather than dimin- ishing in power. Somehow, the Democrats can fight among them- selves, but still manage to salvage unity when it is most needed. The Republicans in Cambria County haven't been able to master this trait in recent years. Some of our Republican friends refer to what they call “Gleasonism” with more bitterness than they'd ever think possible of a Democrat. ° Andrew J. Gleason, the ti- tular head of the Gleason Wing of the G. O. P. in Cambria Co., comes to his alleged political power through being the Re- presentative of the Pennsylva- nia Manufacturer's Association, and the prestige of that organ- ization in Republican State Pol- itics is great—and has been in- fluential for many years. As a result, patronage has allegedly been passed out in Cambria Co. through Gleason’s office, and through his goodwill. Some of the Republican brethren do not like this idea. So, we have the Anti-Gleasonites. ° With only about twenty-five per in numbers.

The boys down! at Washington are not afraid to spend lots of money for prepared- ness and defense—but when it comes to manpower, that's differ- ent. The taking of men, involun- tarily, into military service, by | whatever name, in peacetime, is| unpopular and the vote-hunting Congressman is fully aware of it. * Last Saturday was T-Day. In other words it was Tax-Day. It meant, for the income tax pay- er, a lowering of his tax—at least for the time being. But it also marked a month of the beginning of many other taxes not heretofore in existence. In this section, many communities have been forced to levy addi- tional taxes to carry on mun- icipal and school district obli- gations. So, the pleasure that is derived from a lowering of the income tax, is dissipated by a number of forms of new taxa- tion. ° At the time you read this col- | umn, the editor will be on his way to North Carolina, where the or] nual convention of the National | Editorial Association, of which| this newspaper is a member, is being held at Pinehurst, on the last three days of the present week.
