There is not a doubt of the result in
the pennsylvania state election, said
Hon. William Connell, of Scranton, at
the Shoreham. speaking of the nomina-
tion made by the Republican state con-
vention at Harrisburg last week. "I
earnestly supported Judge Archibald for
the Supreme court judgeship, but the

ticket nominated is an exceptionally
strong one, and is invincible against any
sort of combination. II will be elected
by the usual Pennsylvania Republican
| majority" Mr.. Connell is a silent but
potent force i'm the politics of the great
state of Pennsylvania, and his career
from poor boy to a man of great wealth
is a striking illustration of the indomt-
able energy that makes Pennsylvania
the foremost Industrial state I'm the whole
country In congress. Mr. Connell Is a
quiet but effective worker. His dill

man; James F. Brerton, Keokuk, Iowa,
secretary; William II. Flaherty New
Orleans NJ. T. Finnin, Bloomington,
ILL.,, and John S. Conaty, Tauton, Mass.
The chairman of the committee, Mr..
Michener, stated to a Times reporter
that the growth of the order through
out the country during the past year
has been something phenomenal, there
being more members in the association
than there are regular letter carriers in
the service. This, he stated, was due
to the confidence that the men had in
the present board of officers. The COM
mittee will soon leave for Scranton,

tance is from the Ecuador coast eastward

than from Buffalo westward to San Fran
