day set for the opening of headquar-
ters for speakership candidates, judg-
ing from the manner in which reser-
vations are being made. AS indicated
in the Telegraph, there will be three
headquarters opened here on that day.
Now it looks as though there would
be more.
Representative Charles a. Amber,
of Montgomery county, scored yester-
day with the first formal Endorsement
from any county delegation on the
speakership when the three Represen-
tatives from Chester county, Samuel
A. Whitaker, Maris II. Hollingsworth
and Charles p. Greenwood, adopted
resolutions pledging him their undi--
vided support The resolutions set
forth that they are impressed with
the belief that Mr.. Amber possesses
the proper qualifications to preside
fairly and impartially' and that
Through his legislative record he has
stood by those policies which the Re-
publicans Of Chester county have re-
peatedly declared for. and for those
policies which were advocated in the
personal platform of Governor-elect
DIR. Martin G.. Brumbaugh.'
Insurance Commissioner Charles
Johnson yesterday predicted Mr.. Ant
bler's election, and will head a delega-
ton of Montgomery county Republi-
cans that will come here in his behalf
They have opened Amber headquar-
ters in the Harrison Building in Phila-
delphia, and will hold forth in the
Commonwealth Hotel beginning mex
Saturday.
Representative Richard J. Bald.
win, of Delaware county, called or
Governor-elect Brumbaugh yesterday
and afterwards said he believed ht
will be elected Speaker.
The Philadelphia Press to-day
says: Senator Charles II. Kline, o.
Pittsburgh. Speaker pro tenn. of the
Senate; County Chairman Walter NJ
Christy, of Allegheny county, anC
other Western Republicans, have eX
pressed a desire to arrange for a con
ference with DIR. Brumbaugh to tall
over the legislative needs of the west
ern part of the State. The Governor
elect not only gave them a friendl!
ear to the suggestion, but went stel
further than he was asked to go. HI
took the position that it would b.
easier for him to go to Pittsburgh
than to have a group of Pittsburgher!
come all the way to Philadelphia, anC
he therefore arranged to visit tn
western metropolis of the State to
morrow"
