Adv. I 1 rA With local contests, particularly that for Republican state committee woman, overshading all other issues in the primary campaign, voters of the county are likely to overlook the fact that when they go to the polls a week from today, they will be called upon to vote for a complete slate of state candidates. Pennsylvania citizens will nominate party candidates for United States senator, judge of the supreme court, Judge of the superior court (three to be nominated), state treasurer, ana auditor general, in addition to congressmen, state committee members, national and members of the legislature. There are three contenders for the senatorial nomination, with Senator James J. Davis opposed by General Smedley D.

Butler, who has the support of the Pinchot administration, and William S. Adams, Harrisburg. Adams rah two years ago. Davis, who is now completing the term for which William S. Vare was elected in 1926, is now campaigning for the full six year term.

Linn Unopposed Judge William R. Linn, recently named to the supreme court by Gov ernor Pinchot. is running for the full term, and has no opposition lor tne Republican nomination. Six candidates are in the field for the three Republican nominations for judges of the superior court. Judges Robert S.

Oawthrop, William M. Par. ker and Joseph Stadfeldt are the incumbents, and the other entries are A. G. 'Rutherford, Honesdale; Albert Dutton MacDade, Delaware county, and former Lieutenant Governor Arthur H.

James, Plymouth. The regular state organization gave its support to Gawthrop, Parker and James, but a recent statement of Judge Parker to the effect that he is in sympathy with General Butler's candidacy may alienate the backing of the Philadelphia organization. Governor Pinchot is backing Judge Stadt feld. whom he appointed to the superior court last year. Auditor General Charles A.

Waters, Philadelphia, Is unopposed for the Republican nomination for state treasurer. For many years it has been the custom in Pennsylvania to elect the outgoing auditor general to the treas urership. Four Seek Auditor Post There are four entries in the Republican race for auditor general. Senator Frank Baldwin, Potter county, has the backing of the regular state organization, and Ralph Flinn, Pittsburgh, is the Pinchot entry. Frank Clemens and Frank P.

B. Thompson, Philadelphia, are the other candidates. The only Republican candidate for president whose name will appear on the Pennsylvania primary ballot is Joseph France, Maryland. Only in one Instance is there a contest for Democratic nominations for state office. Lawrence H.

Rupp. Al lentown. a candidate for United States senator, is opposed by Lewis C. Cassidy, Philadelphia. Edward C.

Local Youths Are Given Long Terms Lasavitch and Koch Sent To Penitentiary Two local youths with a record of having been several times caught in the toils of the law were given severe penitentjlar sentences by Judge Wil liam R. Lewis in court yesterday. The defendants, both of whom were convicted a week ago of several rob beries. are Joseph Lasavitch, 33, 208 Broadway, who was sentenced to from eight to sixteen years in the penitentiary, and Albert H.

Koch, alias Cook, 27, rear 620 Cedar avenue, sentenced to from four to eight years' imprison ment.

At the last term of court they were convicted of robbing William Mildas and Matthew Babusis. who conduct a meat market on Albright avenue and Sam Friedman, owner of a store at 2112 Pittston avenue. Lasavitch has served a term in Huntingdon reformatory in 1917. Sev eral years ago Lasavitch was wounded by a local police officer, the bullet striking him in the leg.

A delegation representing the South Side property owners, who have attacked the school board for its failure to carry out its promise to spend $1,278,000 of the bond issue money on a junior high school in that section met yesterday with D.

R. Atherton, chairman of the board's finance com mittee. He assured the commUtee (hat ne iavors tne erection oi a junior mga school in south scranton. Orders Work Speeded Mr. Atherton later instructed George E.

Haak, superintendent of buildings and supplies, and Howard r. Davies, accountant of the district, to speed up the work of preparing the statement on the bond issue expenditures, so that it can be available to the south Scranton taxpayers tonight. Compilation of the statement has been under way for several days, Mr. Haak explained, but the fact that the aceounants who are auditing the dis trict's records have been using the books has necessarily slowed up the work to a certain degree. Mr.

Atherton met the committee at nis omce in the First National bank yesterday morning. The delegation was named at the property owners' meeting last Friday night, when resolutions were adopted demanding an explanation from the school directors for their failure to build the junior high school, and asking for an accounting of the money spent to date. Mr. Atherton explained to the committee that the board is able to issue additional bonds at any time, so that funds can be provided for the South Side project when the district has acquired a site. He explained that the selection and purchase of a site has been the stumbling block so far.

Hp mentioned the Nealon property on which he said the figure was $120,000, and he asserted that prohibitive prices had also been fixed on other suggested sites. Suggests Committee Mr. Atherton urged that the property owners name a committee to co operate with the board in furthering the junior high school project. In explaining the expenditure of all but about $1,700,000 of the $5,000,000, Mr. Atherton pointed out that many of the improvements contemplated in 1926 were found to be inadequate when they were undertaken several years' later.

He cited the case of the Technical High school addition, originally estimated to cost $570,000, which actually Involved an outlay of more than $1,000,000. The No. 33 building was originallv designed to include 20 rooms, he said, but it was found necessary to increase the number to 30, while the new Pine Brook building, first intended to contain 8 rooms, was built with 17 rooms.

Antis' Leaders To Be Removed As Candidates ExpulsionThreats Check Opposition From Arising in Insurgent Ranks Next Year With ten year expulsion sentences reported to be in store for leaders of the recent outlaw strike in District 1, United Mine Workers, there is little possibility of opposition arising to the candidacies of the administration offl cers at the biennial elections next year.

Arroroximatelv 100 of the insurgent leaders are charged with contract vio lations in agitating the illegal stme. A ten vear exDUlsion sentence would deprive these leaders of voice and vote in the organization ana proruuit tnem from holding office. While it also deprives them of membership, the expulsion does not prevent them from working providing they are able to secure employment in and around the mines. The expulsion action definitely routs insurgent uprisings and opposition for several years. The hardest hit of the insurgents is Thomas Maloney, who will be heard Friday.

Formerly holding a good job at the Stanton colliery. Glen Alden Coal company, Maloney, a potential candidate for district president next year, is out of employment today. In addition, if the ouster is effected, Maloney will be without voice in the union. Schuster Faces Expulsion Henry Schuster, another prospective candidate for a district office in 1933, is likewise facing expulsion from union. Schuster, like Maloney.

is also jobless. He was formerly employed as check weighman at the Archbald mine, but this colliery has been shut down indefinitely. Charges against these prominent leaders are said to be based upon newspaper articles in which both men are quoted as strike agitators. While Maloney. Schuster and others in District 1 are expected to be silenced shortly as candidates for Office, Fred Blase, District 9, who allegedly collaborated with the local leaders to spread the illegal strike to his area, is also a victim of the combined reprisals of the coal companies and union officials.

Blase in conventions always joined with the Maloney Schuster insurgency and often took the floor to attack the administration. He is charged with being the Instigator of the illegal walkout in the Schulyklll field and like Maloney finds the doors barred to him at his home colliery.
