After the Pittsburgh inventor OF the

any situation half as complicated has
arisen in the Keystone State.
Mr.. Finn declared that II was the arst
time In the history OF the state that tho
voters had ever faced such perpleXing
questions He said that ne had consulted
eminent lawyers. and he was told that the
Roosevelt electors could not be taken Of
the regular Republican ticket.

Thus. II n Roosevelt voter about 70

dent Taft and Vice-President Sherman

pearing on the regular ticket he would
be likely 10 think that he was voting for

Roosevelt, and the chances might be
that he might vote the Democratic ticket
Instead This the Pittsburgh boss thought
was entirely unfair
The Finn plot thlckens with this I'M

out 70 the head and shoulders OF the third

Ing to. the Taft electors, according to
Finn. wouldn't abide by tho stipulation

said, would result I'm three sets of men"
First the Taft men. the second Roosevelt
men and the third those who would re-

There IS a hint in the Finn argument
that the Roosevelt leaders want to force
the Taft electors on the ticket and compel
the TAFT leaders 10 nominate thirty cleo
tors by petition. Il Is apparent. however
from what Colonel Roosevelt has said and
also from what Mr. Finn said. that this
Is not the intention.
Under our plan to run the electors on
both tickets and abide by the results
Colonel Roosevelt would be absolutely
certain Of carrying Pennsylvania on the

Speaker Clarks strength will not

They confidently assert that the Speak

largest number OF votes of any of the

rather than lose after the first ballot
and some of the more enthusiastic
boomers see a Clark victory on the Sec
