Aae I,r.Iliinuurg ,zetegrdph last
week published the resolutions pass-
ed by the Republican convention of
return judges and passes Judgment
on them as follows:
At the primary A. W. Potter, ESQ,
was elected delegate. He had been
previously chosen by the county COM
mittee, which was irregular, hence
the necessity for II primary, on which
topic SLr. Gilkeson, chairman of the
committee. to which MIR. Gilkeson,
we are informed, responded that
there was no need of q primary,
which reply stamps him unfit for
State Chairman, as his own call for
the State convention published in
another column) embraces this rule
of TIE party:
That the delegates to the State
Convention shall he chosen in the
manner in which candidates for the
General Assembly are nominated.
Has his advice been followed,
Snydefs. delegate would have been
pitched out of the convention also,
the people over there would nol have
had IN opportunity of declaring for
Quay by 923 majority over Gilkeson.
To prevent these expressions of 10y
atty to the Senator was the Gilkeson
idea, but it was hardly thought pos
sible that ho would advice violation
of a party rule to accomplish it. He
certainly should not be chosen State
Chairman. We need in that posi-
ton n man who will enforce the par
ty rules and command the respect
and confidence and earnest effort of
all the party workers. Senator Quay
will do that in large degree. and
perforce, will be chosen chairman.

How ire Sunbuy DAILY" Sizes up the
Quay-Hastings Fight

There is no move as yet in this
county. L. Il. Rohrbach has the
appointing of the delegates and as
yet there is no move on the chess
board. A prominent Republican
said on Sunday: Il am in this fight:
l follow the badge of the Legion of
Honor on the breast of Nj. S. Quay.
On the other hand there is nothing
but top boots up to his middle,
splashed with mud of Johnstown.
And this is the situation. If thedele.
gates of this county vote for NJ. S.
Quay they will be admitted to the
convention, then when a Republican
President is elected l.. Il. Rohrbach
will be the revenue collector of this
district. That is what he is af-
ter; he will get the office and NJ S
Quay will have him appointed. If
our delegates go for the Hastings
gang Rohrbach will get nothing and
the delegates will never get into the
convention, as their election was H.

Gilkeson's New Lesson,

B. +. Gilkeson evidently learned a
lesson from the Snyder county Re-
publican committee. In some of the
papers of last week he is quoted as
saying that he refused to give a
letter for publication on the ground
that he did not approve of making
public private letter without the
consent Of the writer. Evidently
MIR. Gilkeson has learned a lesson
from Snyder county Republicans.
The sentiment above expressed
was violated by Mr.. Gilkeson in re-
ference to chairman Arbogast's let
ter and is in strict harmony with the
spirit of the Snyder county reso.
lutions. If Mr.. Gilkeson does not
get any support from Snyder coun-
ty, he gets good advice and what is
more, he follows it.

Not Very Modest.

And now Corporal Gilkeson is adj.
ding insult to injury. The majority
of the members of the State Com
mittee have called upon Chairman
Gilkeson to convene .he committee
next Monday for the purpose of
making up the roll of the convention.
1t is customary for the chairman and
the secretary to make up the roll of
the convention. This is all right
when there is no contest but when
the chairman himself is involved in
a conflict with faction of the party
it is matter of modesty to allow
the committee to make up the roll
of the convention. The action of
the State Chairman in refusing to
call the committee brands him with
the ignominy of being willing to
serve as Judge and jury in his own
conflict of political ruin and disas-
ter.
The State Committee is composed
of men from every county in the
