AMONG POLITICIANS.

The Wilkeg-Barre Record, after noting
| President Robinson's call for the Republic
can State league convention at Harrisburg
Sept. s. thus discusses the question Of
| President Robiuson's successor; 1.-THE
question OF electing successor to Fight
| ing jack Robinson will doubtless soon oc-
cupy public attention. Little has yet been
said about it further than the authorlta-
tive announcement by President Robinson
| that he will not be a candidate for re- cleo
| tion. 1t is probable that Major Everett
| Warren, Of Scranton, whose spirited fight
in the Robiuson-Dalzell league canvass
won him many friends, will be a candidate
for promotion, he being now vice-presl-
dent OF the league. Major Warren has
recently returned from q vacation tour of
Europe and has as yet made no formal an
nouncement OF his candidacy, but it is be-
| lieved by his friends that he will soon de-
clare himself. He is young, eloquent and
chock full Of the party fervor that makes
campaigns interesting and besides he Is
in sympathetic touch with the active
| leadership Of the party in the state,
and has never been, under
any circumstances, q sulker. Should Major
| Warren decide to begin an active candi-
dacy for the league presidency there is lit
| tie doubt thai he would receive the same
cordial support from this and adjoining
counties that he received three years ago.
Noothsr candidate has, to our knowledge.
been suggested in the anthracite counties
aud even if there we're organized opposi-
tion to Major Warren the fact that the
| league presidency is his by right OF promo
| tion as well rs in recognition OF his bril-
| liant services on the stump would weigh
heavily in his favor. The demands thar
will he made upon the physical strength
OF the new president this fall will be hsavy
He will be expected to participate actively
| and without intermission in the Hastings
campaign Major Warren, very fortu-
nately, possesses robust powsrs Of orRtOry
and is one OF the most effective stump
speakers we have in the state. His cleo
| tion would be- heartily welcomed by the
young Republicans of the state in general,
and of the northeastern counties in par
ticular."

| That being the case Major Warren being
~ present vice president OF the league,
snd the coal regions never having been
honored with the presidency, it seems
most fitting that he should be considered
favorably for tho Office OF tho league.
