A sensational contest for the Republican nomination for State Senator in Cambria county is being waged most strenuously by friends of George T. Robinson and Jay Hheesley.

reter W. Haas, of South Scruuton. now serving his fourth term as recorder of deeds of Lackawanna county, and Congressman Laurence H. Watres, seeking a return to Washington for the fourth time, will offer tin) only fireworks the county campaign at the Republican primaries. Watres alone of the county candi dates has opposition, and Haas during: the last week has waged an active i campaign against him.

The Wnti-es organization tirnfessesl to show no mifnMinusH- but th Sooth Scrnnton man has jiroved himself corder's office, decided a few years ago to take a fling at the county treas- ucrship. He announced himself as a candidate, did a lot of campaigning, and then found out that an old law made it unlawful for a recorder to step into the treasurer's office. The South Side man nromntlv with drew from treasurership fight and; went buck to his first love, the record the past few years been regarded as a possible mayoralty candidate and tlle showing he makes against Congressman Watres will probably determine whether or not he will be an aspirant for Mayor next year.

Councilman Sam Revan, who led the ticket last fall, has openly announced himself as a candidate, and two of his colleagues, Stanley J. Davis and Hurry E. Apgar. are possibilities. Mayor K.

NEW LUZERNE LINEUP SEEN IN SENATE FIGHT Friends of Laning Harvey Claim State Administration Backing fpri-lrtl In I'A lnijuirrr. WILKKS-ltAUItrc, April 7. Laning Harvey, candidate for the Republican noniiniition for Henator, has surprised his most ardent supporters in the nian- in which he is making friends among the voters and the receptions he is getting. John J. Hibhnril, who got in the fight nt Hie last minute through the efforts of Wm.

I'. Gullagher, is having troubles of bis own. In bis home town of Wanamie conditions are not breaking as well for him aa they might. While things on the surface appear an outsider as serene, his former adversaries in the town are not putting any rosea in bis path. To add to his troubles Judge John 8.

Kine, who is out openly for I. lining Harvey, is from the neighboring bailiwick. Sheriff John Macl.uskie was a caller llurriaburg lust week and bad several conferences with State leaders. I pon his return, the sheriff was seen various parts of the Senatorial district and from his activities the State leaders certainly made it clear to the sheriff, the administration is back of Harvey. From the manner In which matters are shaping, it becomes more and more apparent the outcome of the Senatorial fight will be a thoroughgoing coalition who will have the influence mid support of Judges Cnughlin, Kine and Kosek.

Judge Jones will not be considered unfriendly by this group.

MILKF.S-IfARRE. April 7. With little more than two weeks remaining before the primary election of April the forces of lalair in Luzerne county have definitely eliminated them selves from the expectations of the Democrats, who had nopea that tneir contender for Congressional honors John J.

Casey, would have the same non-partisan backing that the mine workers gave mm two years ago. The attempt to reorganize the JNon- rartisan Jjeague brought out eight per. sons, only one identilied with the mine- worker group, and it was made practi cally impossible to draft and broadcast an indorsement of the Casey candidacy. Meanwhile, at a contereiice of Republican leaders representing every cle nient of the party, the candidacy of Henry W. Merritt, of Plains, was once again indorsed and Mr.

Merritt was given the assurance of whatever aid be would reipiire in, making a thorough canvass of every district of the county. In bis own pilgrimages about the industries the Republican harmony selection has found ready welcome. I Iic.lc ton leaders have absolutely re fused to consider as serious the bid of Fred Waechter for Republican support. Mr. Waechter was reminded that he represents insurgency from a general agreement, and that be should be content for the present to direct the important, duties of hia office of County Jury Commissioner.

For the first, time In an Important national campaign the Democrats have failed to open headiruarters for their perennial aspirant. Congressman Casey. The Republican strength is well marshaled from the Republican county headipinrters of Chairman and State Senator Andrew J. Sordoni, all district chairmen reporting regularly on the Merritt candidacy and assuring an over whelming imlication of Republican votes for Merritt against tne bi-partisan ap peal of Congressman Casey. Labor forces feel they have more important matters than Casey's ambition with which to deal for the present.

Hie weekly sessions of mine workers. ntt.ended by hundreds of delegates, have entred all attention on tne union in surgencies among the large enrollment of District 1. One of the newest developments, al lied with the demand upon John Lewis for a general union election in the district, is a motion by some of the colliery delegates lo suspend pny-j ments of union assessments for support! of the soft, coal strike until such time aa the international president and the district president, Rinaldn Cappellini, come to terms on an ofhcinl sounding of workers' sentiment in relntion to contract mining, which ia held to be the cause of four murders, several attempted murders and numerous dyna-mitings in District 1. When the Non-Partisan Lengue attempted to attach itself to the union sessions the delegates withdrew. many years and served one term as county treasurer.

In State College he has been one of the party leaders and in addition has Is-en in close touch with party workers nil over yie county, so he has not gone into fne fight with much of a handicap hanging over him. Mr. Foster is an out-and-out ad ministration candidate and will get all the support that can be given bun through chunnels emanating from Hur-risbiirg. As the eont.rnl of the party In Centre county will depend largely upon Hie county chairman elected at the primaries on April 14. there is every reason why both sides are anxious to elect their man.

In the meantime the contest for the Legislature continues to wax hotter nnd hotter between Dr. William It. Ham, of Boalsburg and State College, and J. Orvis Heverly, of Belle-fonte, with the present member, J. Laird Holmes a runner-up.
