ed United States Senator L0'ts l<''<
rose when questioned on this subject
"As far as know there is an open cam
vass,' he added.
what about Hawkins and Barnett
and the state treasurership?" he was
asked.
Il do not know who will be nomi-
mated; in fact, | do not know the
wishes of either of these gentlemen as
to this nomination" replied the sena-
tor. frankly; but you can depend upon
it. there will be no friction between
Hawkins and Barnett on this subject.
they are warm personal friends, and
worked and fought gallantly together
in the Philippines. Either OF them
would make a most acceptable nominee
for state treasurer"
There were three interesting contests
at primary elections on Saturday last.
In two of these friends of Colonel
Quay scored unexpected victories. In
York and Lycoming counties the local
organizations have generally been
against the friends of the Beaver
statesman, but strong sentiment has
developed in each of these counties
against the party wreckers, which was
made quite manifest at the delegate
elections.
In Centre county former Governor
Hastings made a personal canvass IN
the interest of two candidates for dele
gates to the state convention. There
was no Quay or anti-Quay issue, but
the fight developed into Npersonal con-
test between Hastings ana the support
ers of Judge Love. Hastings won out,
though not until he had gone through
one of the most expensive campaigns
in his political career.
There are but a few more counties
outside of Philadelphia that have state
delegates to elect, and when the list
shall be completed it will be found
that fully two-thirds of the delegates
in the state convention will be friend
ly to the leadership of Colonel Quay,
and will insist upon the strongest kind
of Endorsements of the national and
state administrations.
Chairman John p Elkin, of the Re-
publican state committee, says there
are no contesting delegations on rec
ord, and he does not anticipate any.
The chairman is evidently pleased with
the harmony that is prevailing in the
party organization. He predicts that
there will be a remarkably enthusias-
tic gathering here next month.
WHY GRADY SMILES.
State Senator John c. Grady is hav-
ing some fun with those featherweight
statemen who have been indulging in
wild talk about Governor Stone being
afraid to call an extra session of the
legislature. lest movement might be
made to impeach him for his vetoes
of a portion of the school appropria-
ton and of the proposed constitution
al amendment. Senator Grady directs
attention to the fact that only such
matters for which the legislature Is
specifically reconvened can be consid-
cred at an extra session. 1t is highly
improbable that the governor would,
in his call for an extra session, in
clude a proposition to have himself
impeached. The ignorance which SEN
ator ]. Bayard Henry, Representative
w. T. Greasy and others in the insur-
gent-Democratic alliance display in
their public declarations on constitu-
tional questions has been an amusing
feature of the newspaper campaign be-
ing waged against the Republican state
administration. Senator Grady says
there will be no extra session of the
legislature, and adds that Colonel Quay
is already assured by individual ex-
pressions from senators of more than
enough votes to insure his being seat
cd in the United States senate
