Chairman J. Frank Algee, State Sem
ator Pennewigl. Dr. Caleb r. Layton,
Or. George w. Marshall and the other
Union Republican leaders made game
fight. but the stars were against them.
They we're fighting the inevitable, ana
all that they accomplished WAS to stavt
it of for a week. That they art BIT
ter is manifost. They censure the Reg
lulhr Republicans for accepting Demo
cIatlc help. but at least some OF them
know that the Union Republicans
themselyes couTsed that same help to
enable them to organize the House
with Representative Tharp as it's
speaker With the Regular RepubA-
cans Il was different. They entered
into no deal with the Democrats and
the Democrats entered itno no deal
with them. There was no understand
ing between the two. The fear that
such an impression would get abroad
was what inspired the change OF Regu-
ar Republican votes on Tuesday, when
the Democrats voted for Clark The
Democrats sat In the mhjesty Of thelI
.nsuiarity, holding the balance OF
power, and they used il as, and when,
they saw fit. They asked for nothing;
they expected nothing, and THAT Is ex-
actiy what they got 1t is true that
they nominated and elected the page.
A little boy, Harvey Paimatary. the
son u a Regular Republican father,
was there In the hal. liendlees and
alone. He wanted to be page. but had
no following on either the Regular Re
publican or Union Republican side.
Scarcely knowing what he was doing
he asked the Democratic members to
help him. Representative McNulty
kindshearted and generous. singled
him cut as a good boy. He placed
him in nomination, and for eight bal
lots the twelve Democratic votes were
Z recorded in his favor. The newspapei
men exerted themselves In his be-
c half and, by correctly Informing the
Republican and Union Republican
members THAI the boy was not a Demo
crat, but Republican, won enough
votes TO eleht him. For themselve'
the DemoclHts received nothing but IN
y credit of ending a situation which hai
i, become simply un0earahEe.
