Especial Correspondence)
Philadelphia, May 1.-Governor Stone
continues to wage an unrelenting war
fare against violators of the laws
drafted to protect the dairy interests
of this state and to prevent impositions
in the sale of limitations of pure but
ter. There were number of addition
al arrests made last week by the state
authorities. Hearings held in this city
and elsewhere resulted in heavy fines
being imposed and a number of accused
being held for court on criminal pros
sale of oleomargarine under certain re-
strictions, it has developed that the
law has been violated in a number of
cases, and as a result of investigations
by state agents evidence has been accu-
mulated, resulting in number of pros
ecutons of dealers in colored imita-
tions OF butter and oleomargarine
which has not been conspicuously
stamped as such in accordance with
the law. There is general crusade
under way against violators of the
law, and good results are already
shown in the large cities where viola
tons of the law have been frequent.
In a big batch OF cases before Magis-
trate Stratton, of this city, on Thurs
day the state secured favorable de-
cisions, but in almost every case the
accused took an appeal and showed a
determination to fight against convic-
tion. 1t will be found that Governor
| Stones instructions to leave no loop
| hole for escape for any of the guilty
parties will be rigidly followed, and
that many convictions In court will
surely result.
ridiculous feature of the agitation
over these cases is the effort Of certain
political opponents of Governor Stones
| administration to misrepresent the
| facts and to take credit for the work
| which the agents Of the state have per-
formed in collecting the evidence upon
which these cases are based The gov
ernor has announced that he will well
come assistance in this crusade from
any quarter, and that any evidence Of
dereliction on the part of state Of
/
man will be spared, no matter what
may be the influence behind him, II
he fails to perform his full duty in the
enforcement of the laws against the
sale of artificial butter or the traf-
fiicking in "oleo," except where all
the restrictions provided in the recent
legislation shall be complied with fully.
| Governor Stone has always been
staunch friend of the farmers, and his
attitude in the matter is strictly in ac-
cord with his entire record in public
| life. The unscrupulous methods en-
| ployed by some of his factional enemies
In the Republican party to '"eate an
impression to the contrary among the
people have sigDally failed.
REPUBLICAN MAJORITY FoRQUAY
Events have followed each other so
| quickly in the political situation in
| the Keystone state within the last two
weeks that those who take an interest
in matters affecting the Republican or
ganization have had much to occupy
| their attention. The action of the Uni
ted States senate in refusing to recog-
| nize the credentials of Colonel NJ. S.
| Quay for the seat to which he was ap-
| pointed by Governor Stone was a dis
| appointment to the leaders Of the party
| organization in the state. After con-
sidering the influences against him and
| the fact that he lost by but one vote,
the ballot being 30 for him to 33
| against, those accustomed to meeting
surprises of this character in politics
| have accepted the situation philosophi-
| cally. Had the vote been taken three
| days before it was there is no doubt
| that Colonel Quay would have been
seated. For reasons best known to
himself Senator Hanna turned in
against Colonel Quay at the last mo-
ment.
| In view of the fact that Colonel
| Quay got large majority of the votes
| of the Republican members of the
United States senate, the result Of the
balloting in the opinion of many was
a personal triumph. Thirty-three Re-
| publicans either voted for or were pair
ed against him. Colonel Quay was de-
feated because Of the fact that the
Democrats, with but half dozen ex-
ceptions, voted against him. They did
so under the leadership of Chairman
Jones, Of the Democratic national COM
mittee. who is still hopeful that the
Republican insurgent fight in this state
| will result in the election of Colonel
Guffey, the Democratic national COM
mitteman. to the United States SEN
ate from Pennsylvania.
