THE NEWSPAPER COMBINE.
The effort to connect the present
contest over the district attorneys
Office in this city with the state pvas
would seem to he farcical we're It MOI
for the fact that many voters arc de-
ceived as to the true situation through
the stories printed in the suAs.J.zei
newspapers, journals carrying ,hc
WaIamake- advertisement On ,he Jack
rage and printing none but Waua-
maker colored political reports in thcir
news columns.
These papers have lsan playing up
a game for the nomination OF a Demo-
crat for supreme court and an Insirg-
ent Republican for state treasurer by
the Democratic state convention. The
proposition is to then have an indie
pendent conference or convention at
which this ticket shall be indorsed.
This would appear TO be a clever
move if it were not for the fact that
the purpose OF the whole movemea. Is
so transparent. BY putting forth .h4
idea of the existence Of a state cram.
cation, even though it consists Of but
few Wanamaker edherents. who do no.
give their time for nothing. the local
Wanamakerites think they can en-
courage more Philadephians to vote
for the WaRamakey candidate for dis
trict attorney. They are seeking 10 ere
ate the impression that there is a
popular movement throughout the
state against the Republican organiza-
tion, but this is absolutely unfounded
There has not been for years as much
harmony in the Republican state Or
ganization. The coming state conveu.
tion, which will be held at Harrisburg
on Aug. 2lst. will witness one of the
largest and mcst representative stall
wart Republican gatherings ever held
In an of year.
