THERE MAY BE TROUBLE YET.
Republicans Split Up Over the Appoint
ment Of Two Secretaries of the State
Commlttee-Quay and Magee Both Win

Republicans Split Up Over the Appoint
ment OF Two Secretaries Of the State
Commlttee-Quay and Magee Both Win
Out.
The Pittsburg managers of Congressman
Dalzell's Senatorial campaign met yester-
day afternoon at their headquarters ON
Smithfeld street. The meeting was one of
the largest ever held by the association. j.
H. Patterson, Secretary of the Philadelphia
branch of the organization, was present, and
in an informal talk told of the work accom-
plished in the eastern end of the State and
expressed great confidence in the Dalzell
fight. He admits that on the surface Sena-
tor Quay seems to have the best of the con-
test but he explains by saying sit would
not be wise to use brass band in fighting
an old politician like Quay"
Mr.. Patterson says the Philadelphia poll
ticians are wonderfully worked up over the
appointment of two Secretaries for the Re-
publican State Committee. Judge Dean,
the candidate for Supreme Judge, he says,
told him that at the meeting of the State
candidates in Harrisburg this week George
Pearson, of Mercer, Pa, ex-Private Secre-
tary to Governor Beaver, had been agreed
upon as Secretary to the State Committee.
Judge Dean assured me that Pearson had
been agreed upon by all the State candi-
dates" Mr.. Patterson said "and, of course,
he was confused and surprised the next
morning to learn that General Reeder, who
had been agreed upon as Chairman,
had asked Frank Willing Leach to remain
as secretary of the committee. Judge Dean
was naturally indignant at Chairman
Reeder's action. The Judge contended that
Chairman Reeder was we'll aware that the
candidates had agreed upon Pearson as
secretary to displace Leach and he was
naturally indignant at Leach's reappoint-
ment. AS affairs stand now the COM
mittee has two secretaries-one chosen
by the candidates and the other named by
the State Chairman. Already the matter
has stirred up considerable ugly feeling,
and it begins to look now as though there
might be another outbreak between Senator
Quay and C. L. Magee on this particular
question. 1t is we'll known that Magee, in
the recent State Convention, had some hot
words with Secretary Leach over the tally
sheet count. After the convention
Mr.. Magee served notice that
Mr.. Leach would have to go.
Mr.. Quay was just as emphatic in saying
that Leach should not be turned down. One
faction seems to have turned Mr.. Leach
down while the other faction has turned
him up again. and before the matter is set
tied there is likely to be considerable strife
among the Republicans of the State"
The Pittsburg Republicans contend that
the State candidates have the authority to
name the Secretary of the State Committee.

How Paper Is Made.

The better qualities OF paper are made
from rags. To change the rags from cotton
or linen to paper. they are treated with
solution of alllali concentrated iye) which
attacks the fiber and reduces the rags to q
pulp. from which the paper is produced by
passing it through series of rolls
Most all the laundry soaps on the market
contain large percentage Of free alkali.
This alkali attacks the dirt on the clothes
and makes the soap wash quick, but in doing
this it also attacks the fiber of the cloth,
and acts on it in the same manner that the
alllali acts on the rags in making paper. By
using soap containing alkali to wash clothes,
you are slowly but surely turning your
cotton and linen into paper. Every time
garment goes through the wash, there is
part OF the cloth washed away, it tears
easily, and must soon be laid aside and a new
one purchased to be destroyed in the same
way.
Walkers Family Soap contains no free
alkaIi: it has all been washed out. 1t has
been analysed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Companyfs chemist and found to be neutral
and harmless, and is used by the company
on that account to wash the paint on their
cars.
Ask your grocer for Walkers Family
Soap. 1t costs no more than ordinary soaps.
