PENROSE IS INDORSED
Delaware County Heads Off For
the Senator's Reelection.
LANCASTER FALLS INTO LINE
The Brilliant Young Philadelphia Not
Making a Canvass. But Is Very
Busy With Official Duties at Wash
Especial Correspondence.)

Philadelphia March 18.-As the Re-
publican candidates for the next legis-
nature are being placed in nomination
throughout the state the sentiment OF
the Republican voters in favor OF the
reelection of Hon. Boies Penrose to
the United States senate is being ex-
pressed through the delegates elected
to the nominating conventions.
The latest county to thus go on rec
ord is Delaware. The county conven-
tion was held at Media last week and
without a dissenting voice resolutions
were adopted commencing the public
services of Senator Penrose and his
close attention to the needs Of his con-
stituents, and cordially indorsing him
for reelection. There were three can
didates for the assembly nominated in
Delaware county and all of them are
reasonably sure of election and they
are all for Senator Penrose.
The county convention adopted the
following:
Resolved, That in view of the fact
that the term of the Hon. Boies Pen
rose next expires, we indorse his can
didacy for reelection, recognizing the
fact that for two years his labors were
exceptionally arduous, and in no in
stance has he been found wanting in
attending to the needs of his constit
uency, and when the Dingley tariff
measure was pending he was foremost
in seeing that the local interests of
this county were properly safeguard
ed"
Former State Chairman Thomas V.
Cooper, who was nominated to sue
ceed himself in the house Of represen-
tatives, has made a statement for pub
lcation in which he declares his pur-
pose to support Senator Penrose to sue
ceed himself and says that he will go
into every Republican caucus called for
the organization of the legislature and
for other party purposes, and that he
will abide by the action of the majority
in such caucuSeS.
SOLID LANCASTER DELEGATION.
Senator Stober and Representatives
Frank B. McClain, w. H. Brosius, John
G. Homsher and D. w. Graybill have
just been renominated and DR.. K. H. K.
Blough and w. X. Snader new aspir-
ants, complete the legislative ticket in
Lancaster county. They were all nom
mated on Saturday last and are all
certain to be elected, and they are all
for Senator Penrose.
1t is not improbable that there will
be no Republican candidate in the field
against Senator Penrose when the leg
islature meets in January next to elect
his successor.
The junior senator is apparently not
giving much attention to a canvass for
reelection. He is kept very busy at
Washington from Monday morning un-
til Saturday of each week, and then he
runs over to Philadelphia and his
Office is crowded with callers all Satur-
day afternoon, each with some petition
or request requiring his attention at
one Of the departments at Washington
during the following week.
LABOR LEADERS PLEASED.
AS chairman of the committee on i'm
migration Senator Penrose has just re-
sion bill, which is evidently satisfac-
tory to the labor interests that sought
Senator Penrose's aid in their efforts
to block the scheme of the steamship
agents and other corporation represen-
tatives that hoped to have the bars let
down so that Chinese cheap labor
might be permitted to enter this coun-
4 to-
eral authorities. Senator Penrose has
received a number of letters from rep
resentatives of labor organizations
thanking him for the interest he has
taken in this matter.
CONFERENCE WITH DAIRYMEN.
During the last week Senator Pen
rose had conference at Washington
with representatives of farming and
dairy interests in Pennsylvania, who
want his cooperation in their efforts
to pass the anti-oleomargarine bill,
which will shortly come before the
senate. Senator Penrose assured them
he was heartily in favor of the legis-
lation desired by the Pennsylvania
dairymen and farmers and said they
could count upon his active interest
and enthusiastic support for the meas
ure. 1t is understood that a larger
delegation is to meet Senator Penrose
in Washington within a few days,
when plans will be discussed for get
ting the necessary number of votes in
the United States senate
Senator Penrose has just been ad-
vised by the war department that the
requisite instructions have been given
to the engineers to begin at once the
survey of the property in Lebanon
county which is to be used for dis
trict encampment for National
Guardsmen of the New England states,
Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey,
Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
81 do not think the citizens OF Penn
sylvania generally appreciate the ben
efits that will come to our state
through the establishment of this en-.
CamDment" " said Senator penrOSe in
