BERRY MEN HAPPY.
Continued From Page one.)

william IL. berry was nominated TO
head the Keystone party ticket.
In case the Prohibition party
stands pat, and the keystone, Labor
and Socialist parties do the same,
it means John K. Tener will be
elected governor" he continued"
Inasmuch as the Prohibition and
Keystone parties have adopted sim
liar platforms with relation to the
government of the saloons, it seems
to me that it is a good deal like
brother fighting brother.
The Keystone party cannot hope
to be elected without the Prohibi-
tion vote. That has been proven.
We have stepped in several times and
helped to elect their candidate. but
we have been consistently turned
down afterward. 1t seems sense
less to sacrifice ourselves ,all the
time, because we are fighting for a
principle and we will have to keep
on fighting"
Berry Will Make Whirlwind Cam
paign.
An early start will be made in
the Keystone party campaign, it be-
ing the intention of William II.
Berry to visit every county in the
state at least once before Novem-
ber. According to Berry, the fight
has already begun.
I'VE are in the harness today"
said Berry, for we don't propose
to allow the grass to grow under
our feet. This whole state must be
covered in the campaign, every
county must be entered and that is
no small piece of work.
Mr. Berry predicted that the fight
for the election of the Keystone
ticket will be waged with greater
fierceness and determination than
characterized the whirlwind cam
paign of 1905, which landed him in
the Office of state treasurer.
Keystone party leaders in Phila-
delphia are gratifed by the reports
from the state. A number of regu-
lar Republican and Democratic pa
pers, they claim, who have bolted |
their party tickets are lining up and |
declaring for Berry and the Key
stone candidates.
The first real piece of business in |
planning the campaign that con-
fronts the Keystone party is the
formation of a state committee. Ac-
cording to a rule adopted at Thurs
days convention, this committee
will consist of two representatives
from each senatorial district.
Col. George E. Mapes said Satur-
day that within 10 days a perman-
ent organization will be effected.
At the meeting for organization a
chairman of the state committee
will be named who will conduct the
campaign. Several names have
been mentioned, among them Eu-
gene c. Bonniwell, democratic chair
man of Delaware county, and Henry
c. Niles, who directed the Lincoln
party forces in 1905.
Anticipating a stiff statewide
campaign, ex-State Treasurer Berry
said he is anxious to see the COM
mittee perfected. Although no de-
finite plans have been framed by the
leaders in the party, the indications
point to the opening of political
operations in Philadelphia as early
as Aug. Is.
1T will take all of three months
to cover this state properly" en-
phasized Mr.. Berry, and | think
we ought to give that much time to
it. We will go into every county,
and that means at least 67 places
we must visit in the campaign.
when the Lincoln party cam
paign was in full blast | remember
of having made nine speeches in one
day, and that night l felt as though
| must have delivered a thousand
addresses on the trip. But when l
figured it all up the total was only
76 speeches.
This coming campaign will be
more strenuous than that of 1906.
We are going into it to win. / feel
very much encouraged over the out
look. | have received dozens of
kilograms of congratulations today,
and the fact that most impresses
me is that there are as many from
Republicans as from Democrats"
When d. Clarence Gibboney, nom
mated for lieutenant-governor was
asked if he would remain on the
ny EolOIlI llNhtl lbI ltultudnl-
ernor, he said he had not made up
his mind but will be able to answer
in a few days
Launches Boom for PinchOt i'm New
York.
Clifford Pinchot, chief forester
under Theodore Roosevelt, took his
place Saturday on the list OF posi-
BILE candidates for the Republican
nomination for governor of New
York. Col Roosevelt was asked to
support his candidacy,
Although the eX-president is care
fully suppressing everything which
in any way resembles an outspoken
declaration in favor of any candi-
date and has been issuing state
ments to that effect, he showed in
terest in this boom, and it is be-
lieved he does not look unkindly
on ii.
