Kew. >. {. swallow. ID. D., candi-
date for governor of the Honest Gov
ernment, Liberty, Prohibition and
Peoples party, was in the city ycster-
day and was rendered at reception at
the Hotel Jermyn from to o'clock
p. m, by local representatives of the
Honest Government and Prohibition
parties. The reception was not large
ly attended. Among those who called
on DIR. Swallow were Ex-Mayor John
II. Fellows and John G. MCAskie. Or.
Swallow took them into the Turkish
parlor, the curtains were closely drawn,
and there in the premature twilight
the three statesmen discussed honest
government or kindred topics of some
kind.
Later Dr. Swallow granted an in
terview to a Tribune reporter. He
said the visit of Fellows and McAskie
had no particular significance. They
had merely called to pay their re-
spects.
You know" said the candidate for
governor "the friends of Wanamaker
are my friends in this campaign. There
is a certain kinship in the work we
are engaged in. Mr.. Wanamaker is en-
deavoring to oust Quayism from the
United States senate and incidentally
purify the politics of the state. ] am
a candidate for governor because
Quayism has reached the stage where
the people will stand it no longer. They
are aroused. They are in revolt.
Last night I addressed a big meet
ing in Norristown. During the after
noon the Republicans of Montgomery
county held a convention and certain
| "A
its methods were strangled and killed.
This caused much bitter feeling and
many of the dsgusted Republicans
came to the meeting I addressed and
told us they were with us in this fight
to the end.
THREE MEETINGS A DAY.
Last week | addressed three meet
ings day in Schuylkill county and all
| of them were largely attended. These
were open air meetings. Tonight |
! address an audience in the Opera
| house at Carbondale, and tomorrow
afternoon | will speak to the Farmers
! Alliance at Farview. Tomorrow night
| | am at Honesdale and Friday at
| UniOndale. From there l so to Wyal-
using, Bradford county, where some
| kind of fair is tC be held.
Thus far in the campaign I have
! been in fifteen counties and before the
| campaign is closed l expect to have
| visited every county in the state. l
expect to deliver an address in Scran-
ton before election day"
In reply to a question concerning the
number of votes he expects to get DR.
! Swallow said after some thought:
My friends have figured it out that
there will he S00 900 votes cast in Penn
| sylvania for governor this fall, making
| the number of stay-at- homes 100000
If these figures are correct S0,000 vote:
| will elect, and it is the opinion of those
| in touch with the various counties OF
| the state that we will reach that vote
! this year. Test votes have been made
| among all classes Of voters throughout
the state and everywhere the result ha,
| been much better than we anticipated
II find the sentiment everywhere
very intense against Quayism. Busi
ness men and corporations have beer
bled and squeezed so often by him tha
they are crying for relief. OUTSIDE
of that the moral sense of the state ha'
been so outraged by setting up ticket
which has resulted in debauching tn,
young men of the state to such an eX
tent that thinking people have decided
there must be a change"
DR.. Swallow thinks the Democrat
did him a good turn when they nomin
ated George jerks for governor. II
says he will get more Democratic an
Republican votes than if Judge Cor
don or Judge Yerkes were nominated.
QUITE AT HOME HERE.
II feel quite at nome in Scranton,
was the doctors comment as he ga2eC
out of the window OF the parlor of the
Jermyn and contemplated the hurry
ing throng at Wyoming avenue anC
Spruce street. "You know | was bori

have quite an extensive aCquaintanc,
among the merchants of the city.
have an uncle, James Thompson, re
siding at Carbondale."
DR.. Swallow and few friends dineC
at the Jermyn at $50 and an hou
later he was on his way to Carbon
dale.
