LOCAL OPTION IS PARAMOUNT ISSUE Nearby bounties Seek Pledges from Candidates to Vote Against to TrilMine Republlcan. HARMSBU'RG, June 22. Local option will ibe one of the big issues of the coming campaign for seats in the house of representatives and also the state senate. There is an active campaign under way to se cure pledges from all of the aspirants that they will vote lor a local' option bill in the next house, and indications at present are that some sort of measure relative to the sale of liquor in various counties will form the center of an interesting fight.

Aleardy four counties in the east central the state 'are lining up their candidates on the question and they clajm that a majority of them will be pledged to such a bill. In Cumberland, Lycoming, York and Adams counties local oi.on has become the paramount issue. In Adams county, which for many years, was considered a strong liquor county, practically all of the candidates have announced their intention of voting for local option. Voters in Cumberland county, do not appear very particular as to what form local option will take, whether It ibe county or not, tint they insist upon some, sort of legislation on the question. And the same question promises to be the big issue of the fight in Lycoming county.

This is conceded by those familiar with the situation and who have noted the vapidly growing sentiment against the liquor traffic. They say that the lines will 'be sharply drawn and that ihere will be no chance of any of the candidates slipping through under false colors, Party affiliations in that county, it Is'admltted by all, will have little to do with the outcome, jqtior or local option wju ihe the deciding factor. Practically similar conditions prevail, 4n other counties of the state. Some of the candidai.es are option, while others insist that allow 'ng each county to deal with the ques ion separately ls the most' logical way (jealjng with the proposition. First Lady 'Too bad!

THE RESPITE GRANTED TO CHIM1ELEWSK1 Governor Tener Allows Two Months' Time for Presenta tion to Board of Pardons. Word was received in this city yes tensoy afternoon that the) attorneys for John Chimielewskl, who is under sentence of death for the murder of Patrolman William F.

McAndrew, of Carbondale, at Dickson City, had been successful in securing a Tespite for a period of two months for the pur pose of presenting the case to the 1 board 01 pardons at its next session. Attorneys Clarence Balantine and P. C. Foley represent the murderer. One month ago the governor fixed July 9 as the date for the execution of Chimielewski, and the attorneys Immediately announced that they would ask for a respite, claiming that they did not have sufficient time then to present his case before the board of pardons at the June meeting.

If the pardon board at its next meeting refuses to interfere in his case there is nothing to save him from paying the full penalty for the crime he com mitted, the Supreme court 01 tn state having refused a new in the case. The murder of McAndrew occurred at Dickson City on July 16, 191s. when he and several other officers tried to arrest Chimielewskl and his companions for a series of burglaries that had been committed in the tipper end of the valley.
