MR.. LAMB FILES A PROTEST

Representative Olmsted of Pennsylvania
called on the President today to talk with
him about the trip he will make to Har-
risburg to attend the dedication Of the
new state capitol. which Is to take place
October T. The President will deliver an
address of Importance. He Is also expect
ed to speak at York on his way to Har-
risburg. The presence of the President
about that time is expected to have a
marked effect on republican prospects in
the November election, inasmuch as the
democrats and Independents threaten an
extensive movement for the capture of the
governorship and state officers.
Mr.. Olmsted said today that he had no
idea who would be named by the republic
cans for governor of the state. The repub-
lican convention will meet at Harrisburg
June 4, less than a month away. and the
question of who to nominate Is giving them
some bother. Senator Knox was suggested
for the nomination, but he Is understood
to have declined the honor. 1t is stated
that Senator Penrose and the machine men
are lying low with the idea of giving the
appearance that the delegates are to have
control of the convention and name who
ever is most suitable. At the same time
careful consideration Is being given by the
leaders to the proper man to put at the
head of the ticket They want to try to
get man who will command Independent
support, If possible, but there Is no inten-
ton of permitting anybody but stalwart
friend of the organization to secure the
plum.
Under the law of Pennsylvania Governor
Pennypacker Is not eligible for another
term. 1t is the purpose of the organiza-
ton to restore him to the bench at the first
opportunity.
Lamb Files Protest.
Representative Lamb of Richmond today
handed to the President petition asking
the retention In office Of Postmaster Fleet
at Ashland, Va and protesting against
the nomination of Mr.. Fox, now before the
Senate, where 1t Is held up. The petition
of Representative Lamb was signed by
majority of the republicans and nearly all
the democrats of Ashland 1t is claimed.
Mr.. Fox was named upon the recommended
ton of Representative Slemp, and there
has been much objection to 1t the
part of patrons of the office that the Vir-
ginia senators are preventing action upon
it In the Senate pending further informa-
ton. The President said he would give the
petition and protest consideration.
Representative Lamb will be without OPP
position for Congress within his own party
this year. Yesterday was the last day for

who is one of the most vigilant of the Vir
ginia members Of the House.
