Special to EVENING HERALD
ASHLAND, Dec. 29.-According to an
nouncement Messrs. Rudolph Blankenburg
and James Pollock, the Philadelphia ad-
vance agents of Hon. John Wanamsker,
succeeded in securing the consent of thirty
persons to form Business Mems League here
last night. The organization was effected by
the election of Harry c. Harper president,
w. H. Heaton vice president, William James,
of the Local, secretary, and John II. Rowe,
treasurer,
A. II. Tiley, editor of the Telegram,
Democratic paper, offered resolutions en-
dorsing John Wanamaker for United States
Senator which were adopted.
J. Harry James was elected chairman of
the executive committee, and in speech
declining defined his attitude as against Pen
rose and favorable to Wanamaker. He was
subsequently elected chairman of com
mittse appointed to call upon Representa-
tive Kehler for the purpose of inducing him
to vote for Wanamaker.
Mr.. Kehler will hardly consider the views
of thirty men as a true expression of the
sentiment of his constituents, and will vote
for Penrose. All the county officials and
prominent Republican workers as we'll as
leading business men and others in Ashland
do not favor Wanamaker, aud that is why
the latter's agents could not secure larger
attendance at the meeting.
