LEWIS To GIVE 7. R.
HIS FUSION VIEWS
Willing to Out but Not Anxious to
Be Tail to McCormick's
Kite

Men active in politics about the city
were awaiting eagerly to-day some
news of the visit of Dean Lewis to
Colonel Roosevelt at which the dean
will place before him his ideas on
fusion on Governor. Some time ago
the dean saw the Colonel and then
started to sound out sentiment in the
state and he will make his report
to-day.
The dean is said to be willing to
quit. as he sees he cannot win. but
there is so much opposition to the
party being turned into a tail for
Vance McCormick's kite that he has
been undecided.
Speaking of what he found, the dean
said:
Ever since the primary there has
been some sentiment in favor of COM
bined action against Penroseism by the
Washington party and the progressive
Democrats. The failure of the Repub-
lican platform to refer to the subject
of local option, showing that the liquor
interests as well as the other evil spe-
cial interests are soldly back not only
of Penrose. but of DIR. Brumbaugh
has think, materially increased this
sentiment
I'm going over the central and east
ern part of Pennsylvania l have found
some of our people favorably disposed
toward giving serious consideration to
the possibility of uniting all forces
that are honestly endeavorinG to clean
up the State government and pass
sane. progressive legislation. On the
other hand. | have found other mem
bers of our party opposed to any other
than a straight Washington party
fight.
Personally ! am very glad that the
subject has been agitated. as 1t shows
the widespread interest of the people
in the present campaign"
