American today says:
"Angered in the speculative degree
by the revolt of democrats through
out the state against the dictatorship.
James NJ. Guffey. democratic state BOSS
admitted yesterday in Pittsburg thai he
was entirely out of the fight Those
danocratS, including a score OF eaders
ana workers in his own Allegheny
county, who have had the temeritv to
oppose Gufey, We're roundly abused
by the millionaire oil producer. whose
words OF condemnation. according To
a dispatch from Pittsburg, were too hot
for publication.
BOSS Guffey at first announced that
the democratic convention should not
lndor>e Emery, the Lincoln candidate,
but that ii must nominate n straight
out democratic ticket. That would
play into the hands of the Penrose
machine by Withholding support from
the ticket of the Lincoln party. Guifey
now says the convention may do as
it p~leaseS, but that he is still OPP
posed TO Emery on personal grounds.
GUFFEY BACKS DOWN.
The Philadelphia Ledger today SAYS.
Col. Guffey, the democratic state
leader, has taken a positive position
that he will not accept ex-senator
Emery as the democratic candidates
for governor. The feeling between
Guney and Emery is personal and on
many years standing. Guffey has 10
hesitation in declaring that his on
position TO Emery's nomination by the
democratic conventions is personal.
and he has repeatedly said SO to dele
cations OF Lincoln party men who Ask
ed him TO be for Emery for governor.
When Col. Guffey declared for a
democrat for governor he did not ex-
pect the storm of protest that would
arouse in his party because of his oppo-
sltion to Emery. He and his friends
now realize that the storm has grown
to such dimensions as tr threaten his
leadership. While his followers ara
confident that he cal control the state
convention n force the nomination.
OF a democrat fOr governor, they feel
that II would be disasterous to the
party. They arr, therefore, seeking
for a loOphole by which the colonel
may recede from his position without
yielding so far as TO consent TO En-
ery's ~nomonation."
The Philadelphia Inquirer today
says:
LINING UP FOR THF ENEMY.
Most Interesting in tile develop
ments over the state yesterday in the
gubernatorial contest in the democra-
tic party was the deSertion of more
democrats from Guffey's standard TO
that of Emery in Allegheny county.
William 7. Greasy was Endorsed for
governor by Columbia county: Nc
Kean. Emery's home county. instructed
its democratic delegate for its fellow
citizen; Crawford was for Emery:
Lycoming passed a vote of confidence
in the Linoolnite; Chester left its del
egateS free TO act as would best nelp
the party. A combination Of Bucks.
Northampton, Lehigh, Schuylkill and
Carbon county delegates was formed
for Emery. The convention Is two
weeks off. The fusion sentiment is
growing stronger daily, and the on
vention may be taken out OF Guffeyis
hands
A dispatch from Pittsburg last night
says
The revolt against the leader
ship Of Col. James VI. Guffey Is be-
coming more marked daily. The in
surgent democrats of Allegheny county
declare that they have him defeated
in the fight for delegates and they
will announce their LIST tomorrow or
next day. Today a dozen or more OF
democratic workers declared
aligned against the colonel
and in favor of a fusion ticket with
Lewis Emery ,Jr-. at its head.
Among those who declared for Emery
were G.. W. Mcneil, Attorney James
