past week has seen the completion
of the line-up for the coming cam
paign in Pennsylvania, and the people
are ready for one of the greatest
political battles in tho State's his
tory. The chief contest will be orer
the United States senatorship. Some
bitter factional fights are coming
over the governorship and the con
trol of tnj State administration, but
these will be mere skirmishes as com
pared with ' the terrific battle that
will be waged over, tho choice of a
successor to Sentor Penrose, whose
term. in the United States senate
will expire on March 3. 1913.
The candidates will be named by
the several parties in the general
miliary in May. Fro that time on
there will be a battle roval tintiHhe
election in November. It will be a

party, which is the name under' which
the Progressives do their fighting in
Pennsylvania. ' As is Well known, the
BfT)i'b!ifap of Pennsylvania hava
long been split into two bitterly hos

Penrose and the other opposed U
him. It is expected therefore that the.

that the street ear line be extended

To Hon. Bird S. Coler,
New York.
Dear Sir:
Whereas, the city of Concord grant
ed a franchise to the Public Service
Company, of which you are the honor
ed head in this section, expecting that
order said franchise, yonr company
would extend its lines to all parts of
the city to meet, the requirements of
the people and at the same time to
make money for your company has
failed to so extend its lines as to
meet the wishes and demands of the
people, Therefore,
Be it resolved by this board in
regular session assembled that it is
the sense of all present that the com
pany should be requested at once to
extend its line to tho end of South
Union street, where the Bqll Park is
Located and near where a proposed
Park is proposed, and along whih
line the people are buildiug residen
ces in great-numbers that it should
extend its line to the Cemetery on th.j
north ; and to such other points
the city as shall be selected for public
park. .
We are sure that these extensions
will be to tlie best interests of your
company as well as to our- peoplo.
It is also the sense of this meeting
that the line should also Ins extended
to the Franklin Mill, the Young Hart
sell Mill, and to the Brown Mill and
unite with your present 'line to the
Gibson Mill, and then make a circnit
that, would greatly add to your in
come and at the same time aid ma
terially in the building up of the City.
Our people expect more traekave
voice the sentiment of every one who
isat all conversant with tlie situa

will be glad to show you our needs and

beconie a candidate in a resolution
unanimously adopted at a conference
cf the Washington party leaders,
group chairmen, committeemen and
officials, held iii Harrisburg last
week.
Many elements will enter into the
choice of a United States senator,
but in the maim it will bo a fight for
and against Penrose. It is this fact
which will make. the contest one of
nation-wide interest. . Few candi
dates, for' high' office in this or any
other 1 State have faced, opposition
apparently , more- formidable than
that now mustering to bring about
the defeat of Senator Penrose and his
retirement from public life. i
It is said that Mr. Palmer was in
duced to, become a candidate for the
Democratic, nomination solely upon
tho -i representation that - President
Wilson believed 'him to- be the man
with the best. chance of defeating
Senator Penrose " The President is
reported to have told him that the
supreme tssne of - the ' Pennsylvania
campaign this year should be the de
feat of Penrose,, who represents, the
oli ystem of reaction, and for which
he stands almost alone in the senate
as the last notable representative.
'The hostility ot. tho ; progressive
