version of Israel w. Durham and the
solid block of SO Philadelphia dele
gates to Judge Pennypacker after Mr..
Durham had, "slnk or SWIM" declared
for Ellsin. The friends Of the Indiana
candidate, IL disposed to place obstacles
In Penrose's path could undoubtedly
make trouble for him, inasmuch as they
control a large proportion of the coun-
ties whose representatives and senator's
will have the choosing of Mr.. Penrose's
successor. Whether they will do this
remains to be seen. The action of the
Chester county convention may be an
isolated one or a link in a chain of po-
litical developments. 1t is too early
yet to say which.
Two planks In the Chester platform
are worthy of notice, apart from the in
structions regarding the senatorship.
One earnestly recommends the passage
by the legislature of uniform prim-
ary ballot law, by which all counties OF
the state shall be compelled to conduct
their primary elections on the same
day and hours throughout the COM
mOnwealth." The other condemns most
scathingly the act of Walter p. Rey-
nolds, one of Chester's delegates to the
recent state convention, In betraying
instructions for Elkin by surrendering
his proxy to q man who voted for
Pennypacker After setting forth that
the Instructions for Elkin had been
unanimously passed by the county con-
vention which had elected Reynolds a
delegate the platform continues:
After these instructions were given, and
within two weeks of the Republican state
convention, the said Walter p. Reynolds
pledged himself in writing to vote for the
above named gubernatorial candidate, vol
unteering at the same time by word of
mouth. we'll as in his written pledge,
that it would not only be his pleasure,
but his duty. to vote in accordance with
the instructions which he considered
binding, and in addition to which
the strong prevailing sentiment, as he un-
derstood it, in this county was in favor
of the Hon. John p. Elkin. Notwith-
standing these instructions and pledges,
written and verbal. he knowingly gave
his proxy to one who cast the vote to
which the said Walter p. Reynolds was
entitled in direct violation of the instruc-
tons and pledges. and this convention de-
upon the heads of all who were concerned
in this betrayal of a sacred trust.
More Of this kind of treatment, iu-
diciOusly distributed, would exert pur-
flying influence upon political methods.

him after his defeat at Harrisburg, At
torney General Elkin went on record

delight in the big Christmas tree and Its
