EMERY ENDORSED BY
PENNSYL DEMOCRATS
BATTLE OVER STATE ISSUES

Grandson OF Jcre 8. Black Nominated
For Lieutenant- Governor and al
Earnest Campaign Inauguratee
The Leaders Defeated.
Harrisburg, Pa,-The Democratic
State convention nominated the fol-
lowing ticket Governor, Lewis EN-
cry. Jr., Of Bradford, the Lincoln
party nominee; Lieutenant-G Governor
Jere s. Black. of York; Auditor Gen
eral, William T. Greasy, the Prohibi-
ton nominee, and Secretary Of In
ternal Affairs, John J. Green, Of Phil
adeIphia.
The platform deals entirely with
State issues, except on the plank,
which commends William J. Bryan.
The convention did not go on record
In favor Of Bryan's nomination for
President
Emery was the choice of the dele
gates who favor fusion with the Lin
coin party on a State ticket. He was
nominated on the first ballot by a
vote of PSI to 60 for Arthur G. De-
walt, of Lehigh County, the choice
of James M. Guffey, National Com
mitteeman, of Pittsburg, and others,
who favored a straight Democrat for
Governor.
In the Lincoln ranks are many
Democrats of distinction opposed to
their own party A month ago it
was not deemed possible that the
voters could oppose the Democratic
party 50 long managed by Colonel
James M. Guffey, but the sentiment
throughout the State made the con-
vention representative of the people.
Up to the last minute Mr. Guffey's
lieutenants planned to defeat Emery,
but they could not overcome the
tide. Many men willing to take or
'ders at any other time .candidly said
they would not dare return to
their home districts and be RESPONSE
BILE for the defeat of Emery. Guffey
remained in PittsDurg, suggesting
the names of men who might be pre-
scented as candidates against Emery.
His lieutenants then frankly advised
him that the convention could not be
controlled for any Democrat, and
that no man known as an 'independ-
ent" would stand a chance with the
delegates Many Republicans from
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, who owe
to Senator Boies Penrose,
were on the ground wearing Demo-
cratic buttons and shouting for a
straight ticket. Long before the roll
call these men abandoned all thought
of stampeding the convention.
Leaders opposed to Guffey in the
Democratic party met the representa-
tiges Of the Lincoln League and
agreed upon a fusion ticket. The
Lincoln party offered to withdraw
their candidates for Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. This
was accepted, and the Democrats
promised to name E. A. Coray, Jr., of
Luzerne, an independent Republican,
for Secretary of Internal Affairs

What! Democracy an experiment? 1t

fused to Enforce Gambling Laws.
Terre Haute, Ind. Mayor Bidaman,
of this city, was formally ousted from
Office by two-thirds vote Of the Com
mon Council because he refused to en-
force the laws against gambling and
saloons. The impeachment proceedings
came after many charges against the
Mayor had been filed, and the trial
that eliminated in verdict against
him has been in progress several days.
Evidence was introduced to show
that the city is wide open, the laws
defed and the Mayor inactive, II not
actually encouraging the lawbreakers.
Mayor Bidaman came in just as the
verdict was rendered and, taking the
Mayors chair, declared he would not
surrender it.
