ELECTOR FIGHT
Suit will be Brought to Force
Roosevelt Men OFF the
Ticket.

Philadelphia. Sept. s.-"within the
next forty-eight hours court proceed
ings will be instituted with the object
Of securing the removal of Roosevelt
electors from the regular republican
ticket in Pennsylvania and the substi-
tuition Of TAFT men," said United
States Senator Penrose here today,
after a day spent in conferring with
political lieutenants in the city and
state. There will be action" the sem
ator said. drastic and vigorous"
The court proceedings which will be
brought in the United States court at
charge Of Congressman NJ. E. Ohm
sted Of Harrisburg, as attorney. The
proceedings. it is believed, will be bas-
ed on the ground that the electors in
the republican column. under a state
law. appear on the ballot under the
names of Taft ard Sherman and there
fore are bound morally and in
equity" to support those nominees in
the electoral college.
1t is said that twenty-five of the
thirty-eigh electoral candidates in
this state favor the election Of Colonel
Roosevelt.
State Senator Finn. who wrested
control of the party from Senator Pen
rose. recently said the Roosevelt cleo
tors on the republican ticket would
withdraw provided the followers of
Senator Penrose would not place in
the field state ticket in opposition to
the one named by the convention last
May.
When Republican State Chairman
purpose of the Penrose people to pro-
ceed in the courts last night, he said
Nothing that Senator Penrose can
do in or out of the courts can in any
way expedite a solution of the elector
situation in Pennsylva MIA. There has
been an amicable understanding as to
what shall be done between the people
most directly interested-it is satisfac-
tory to everyone concerned. Nothing
that Senator Penrose may elect to do
can possibly hurry matters. though
should like to see the incident close as
quickly as possible"
Wasson smiled when first told Of the
Penrose plan and broadly intimated
that the senator was making fuss to
interest and attract the attention of
his followers. with a certain knowl-
eGge that any court proceeding would
be unavailing. It is improbable that
any court could act in the matter be-
fore the first Of October. by which
time the republican state committee
will probably have accepted the resig-
nations Of the Roosevelt electors and
filed their places with Taft men.

GOVERNOR STOKES

Will Not be Republican Can
didate for Senate From
New Jersey.

Trenton, ~ j.. Sept 6.-Former
Governor Stokes of New Jersey will
not be a candidate for senator in the
will take the stump for the progress
sives.
Politicians generally of the repub-
lican machine. who have been pulling
every wire to keep Stokes with them.
are terrified. They know that Stokes
decision not to enter the republican
primaries means that Thousands Of
followed the former governors lead
will keep away from the primaries
and will become strong progressive
workers.
Won't Bind Assemblymen.
The action Of Stokes leaves the
republican primaries free to Senator
Briggs. who is a candidate for the
senate, but without any competition
local authorities say that the pri-
maries will not be binding on the
assemblymen. Certainly they will
not bind the progressives.
Former Governor Fort and former
Senator Colby have both been candi-
dates for senator on the progressive
side Of the fence. and 1t Is certain
that none of the Roosevelt men
would consider Briggs seriously.
Former Governor Stokes led the
fight for Roosevelt in the presidential
primaries and helped to gain the
sweeping progressive victory in the
state.
Gangsters Rebuff Efforts.
Since the Chicago convention he
has been trying to find some common
ground on which the progressives and
the old guard republicans could work
together for state success. His ef-
forts. 1t is said. have been rebuffed
by the republican gangsters.
AS a result the former governor, II
is said by his closest friends feels
that ne should come out openly and
throw himself into the progressive
fight for victory.
