CAPITOL CAUTIOUS AS EACH FACTION TALKS 'SPY' SCARE All Political Activities and Contributions Come Now on "the Quiet" EVERYTHINGVOLUNTARY" People connected with the Democratic State organization are afraid of "plants" on Capitol Hill and word has gone out that every thing is to be put on a "volun tary" basis, contributions, political activity and all else. Sachems of Big Chief David L. Lawrence's organization are apprehensive lest something happening now may furnish fresh material for the Dauphin ccanty grand jury and everyone is to be certain to whom he or she talks politics. A is a person placed on the Hill to obtain news, gossip, information and apparently in the minds of the harassed Democratic leaders of the State machine to get something that can be used as evidence State of mind of big factors 'in the Earle Jones camp was illus trated recently when receipts for contributions appeared with the word "voluntary" in as close to "horse bill" size of type as could be put on the slip of paper. People making contributions are doing it quietly because the hill is the home of uncertainty these trying days of Democratic warfare.

There were reports today some of the folk in departments were growing disturbed over the prospects for November and that was 4 another reason why caution was uppermost in the big granite building today. Duck Bullitt Story People identified with the State Democratic machine ducked again today when asked about the story William C. Bullitt, Governor Earle's ambassador ial friend, might be taken up as a "harmony" candidate after the primary war is over. However, they did not deny it. Senator Joseph F.

Guffey laughed about it while here last night and observed while Bullitt had been in the talk weeks ago there was no use dis cussing such things now because Lieutenant Governor Thomas Kennedy is in sight of the nomination for Governor. Even the silent Kennedy admitted last night his prospects were very rosy. Edward Noel Jones, chief of staff of the Kennedy boom, said today he did not want to claim all the counties for Kennedy, but th'at it did not look as though his opponents would have a dozen. Jones said: "I'm talking every morning to our county chairmen and they give me fine reports; Kennedy is marching right along." Tornadoes Coming: Kennedy headquarters advised people to listen in on Mayor S. Davis Wilson's next radio address because he will discuss the Governor and Matthew in "frank and open" manner.

Margiotti headquarters gave the same advice on the former attorney general who will within a week bring up his biggest batteries and present to the public additional matters fit for the prior to the assembling of the gTJUJy n5? U11IU1U UIWIUI 13 au 111 lilt talk of having much to say on the Republican Kuuciiiaiuuoij campaign in his radio address to night. Things have been getting warmer in the Republican lines since the claims of the James campaigners about majorities have been found to be based on hopes. Latest lists and claims for the Luzerne man were today classed by a Pinchot leader as "interesting, but not very convincing." Republican aspirants will go until Saturday night and start the final week at numerous noon meetings Monday. NATURALISTS LIST FIELD EXCURSIONS M.h.r.
