chairman of the executive committee

vote for Beeber. A meeting of the state
committee was held this afternoon to
make up the roll of delegates for the

ed and made short speech in which
he referred to the pleasure it had given
him to be associated with those who
had been of such valuable assistance
during the gubernatorial campaigns.
He spoke of the bright party outlook
and said that the state would GER
tainly be again carried by the Repub-
licans and that the outlook was ex-
ceedingly bright. Mr.. Elkin stated
that he had received no notice of con-
tested seats and knew of no seat being
contested. He suggested that in order
to avoid delay committee on contest
ed seats be appointed which should
investigate any contest that might be
made This suggestion was adopted
by the committee and the chair ap-
pointed the following committee:

Senator Flinn's Statement.
Senator Finn, chairman cf the anti
Quay organization in the last legisla-
ture, gave out the following statement
tonight:
of the Allegheny delegation agreed to-
night to vote for j. Hay Brown for Su-
premc court judge and Hon, Dinner
Beeber for Superior court Judge, AS no
other name will be presented for state
treasurer Colonel Barnett will undoubt-
edly be chosen by acCamation. The AL
legheny delegates further agreed to OPP
pose any resolution favoring eX-Sena
tor Quay's recollection to the United States
of
commencing Governor Stone for his un-
constitutional appointment of ex-senator
Quay, or his unwarranted reduction of the
public school appropriation.
The feeling is unanimous among the
anti-Quay delegates that nothing can pre-
vent a continuance of the fight against
Mr. Quay's reelection. The people will
not be guided by machine promises OF
reform this year. They have had a sur
felt of such pledges during the past four
years. The fight against Quay and Quay
ism will be continued with increased en-
ergy In every county in the state until
not only the extinction of Mr.. Quay has
been accomplished, but legislation for
ballot reform, personal registration and
equalization of taxation has been en-
acted. Mr.. Quay cannot be elected by
the present legislature Tho linked
States senate is not going to stultify It,
self to give him n seat and the next leg
islature will be so overwhelmingly anti
Quay that Mr., Quay will pass into his
tory only as a name.
