Harrisburg. Feb. 20.-There is hot
contest under way at the Republican
primamry election being held today in
Jefferson county. The struggle is i'm
portant because it is practically the
first real struggle since the reopen
ing of hostilities within the party or
ganization. The insurgents under the
leadership of William Finn are max
ing a bold stand in this city in the
matter of the nomination of a candi-
date for the state senate and the Sc
lection of delegates to the state and
national Republican conventions.
In this senatorial district, composed
of Jefferson and Indiana counties, the
candidates for senator are nominated
by popular vote in both counties. JEFF
ferson county has had the senator for
eight years in the person Of j. G.
Mitchell, and by common consent the
nomination has been conceded to In
diana county. The regular Republi-
cans are running John S. Fisher, and
the insurgents are backing ]. w. Nor
row. Fisher is the close friend OF At
torney General Elkin, who is backing
him in the fight Finn has been in
consultation with the disgruntled poll
ticians of Jefferson county, and a
bountiful campaign fund has been sup
piled. Nothing is being left undone
by these party wreckers to break into
the district.
AS the contest here is the first fight
in the state they are not sparing
money or anything else to win. The
county is overrun with agents of the
Pittsburg boss in support of Morrow.
Everything that money can do is being
done to defeat the stalwarts.
But notwithstanding all this the reg
ulars expect to win a complete victory.
The Republicans of Jefferson county
do not believe in guerrilla tactics in
politics. They do not like "reformers"
of the Finn stamp. Films connec-
tion with the campaign has materially
hurt the insurgent cause. He may run
Pittsburg, but he will fail to make
any impression on the Republicans Of
Jefferson. Fisher and the whole
straightout Republican ticket will win.
attorney general will send in satisfac-
tory returns from this county.
