POLITICAL FEATURES OF INTEREST

The Pittsburg admirers of Hon. John
Dalzell and the champions of his campaign
for United States Senator to succeed NJ S.
Quay, were worked up to an enthusiastic
point Yesterday over the address sent out
the day previous from Philadelphia by the
recently organized Pennsylvania Repub-
licau Association. The association already
extends 20 Pittsburg, and large number OF
the leading Republicans of the county, in
cluding merchants, bankers, lawyers and
politicians, have already Joined the organi-
zation, and are contributing literally of
their time and efforts to secure the election
of MI. Dalzell to the United States Sen
ate.
1t is announced that the Dslzell move
ment is in competent hands, and assurances
are given out that an earnest campaign will
be made in every county in the State to
elect to the next Legislature members
pledged to support Dalzell for the Senate.
Leaders in every county in the State have
been consulted and advised with concerning
the steps taken, and while there has been
no effort at still hunt campaign, little was
known of the organization until every fea-
ture of it was perfected and every detail
had been arranged.
Pittsburg Leaders of the Movement.
Among those who are back of the move
ment in Pittsburg are John w. Chalfant,
John H. RicketsoD, B. F. Jones, Harry
Paul, H. D. W. English, George Shiras I'LL,
Judge Mellon and WIN. L. Chalfant. Harry
Paul is an e1-President of the Americus
Club, accepted as one of the leading polit-
ical organizations in the nation. He told
last night of the organization and the pur-
pose of the Pennsylvania Republican Asso-
citation.
''The movement was set on foot by Repub-
licans who have confidence in and hope for
the Republican party" Mr.. Paul said.
''The purpose is not to antagonize any
man or any faction in the party. On the
contrary it is intended to preserve the
party and to protect it against factional
squabbles and methods that are damaging.
The organization was not formed in the in
terests of any one man, and 1t cannot
therefore be called an organization formed
in the interest of Mr.. Dalzell. Conditions
that to able men, interested in the success
of the Republican party, seemed threaten
ing, brought about the occasion.
The Man for the Occasion
"Mr Dalzell was accepted as the man for
that occasion. His rare ability as law
yer, statesman and orator fits him for the
United States Senate, and all these quail
ties especially fit him to lead in the needed
reform in our national representatives.
Mr.. Dalzell is one of the most interesting
figures in public life. He has never had
political alliances that could in any way ap-
unlike almost any other public man his
whole life, professionally and politically,
can be uncovered at any time, only to his
advantage. His courage commands the res
pect of all who know him or who have
watched mis- public or private career.
"Mr. DalZelfs character is his strongest
supporter in his present campaign. His
fitness, as L have said, makes him |
the man for the occasion. His moral
strength strengthens the Republican party
where it is weakest and 1 predict that the
whole State will be ablaze with enthusiasm
for Mr.: Dalzell before the campaign is much |
older"
Not Stain on His Record
Major A NJ. Brown, the well-known lawyer,
public speaker and Republican, was gratifed |
at the movement in Mr.. Dalzell's interest. |
He said: 81 have known Hon. John Dalzell |
during his entire professional life. Profes- |
socially, and among all persons |
who are privileged to know him, it is not |
necessary to state that he is a lawyer OF the |
most eminent ability and polished educa- |
lion. Mr.. Dalzell is endowed with rare liter |
Try and scientific requirements. He has |
been strictly moral, upright and honorable |
throughout his entire life. He is worthy of |
he confidence of the people of this Com
and he is thoroughly equipped |
IN every sense to fill with rare credit to him
self and his State the high office of United |
states Senator.
"Of Mr. DalZeil's standing and usefulness |
n the Lower House of Congress l need say
nothing, except that unite with the people |
in admiring his success and ability |
Is a member of Congress. l would be highly |
,ratified to see Mr.. Dalzen elevated to the
higher station of United States Senator"
A meeting of Dalzell supporters was held
n the st. Nicholas building last night, at
which many business men and lawyers were
present. A permanent organization was
Effected and headquarters will be opened
lext week.
