succession, Mccormick has found
that the fusion Is weakening instead
of strengthening him and that he is
up against fights inside of his own
party and of menace of the oppo-

organization fusing on DR.. Brum-

The extent of the revolt inside of
the Washington party organization
against Films surrender to McCor-
mick can be realized in the fact that
Progressives all over the State have
been asking Richard r. Quay, who
repudiated the Mccormick nomi-
nation. to lead the rebellion and that
Quay has repudiated Clifford Pinchot
as senatorial candidate.
One of the most surprising things
in connection with the revolt is that
Pinchot said at Coudersport Saturday
that if he could be shown
that 1t would help he was
Pinchot willing to withdraw. If

left of the Washington
party except Finn, McCor-

Mr. Pinchot's warmest friends here II

the senatorial race is Forthcoming.
They are impelled to this view be-
cause of Representative A. Mitchell

he will withdraw If 1t appears that by
so doing he will help to oust Pen

their support spread through his
emissaries the report that Palmer was
about to quit in favor of Pinchot.
Palmer's stand unmasked the Finn

litical move and added to the fury of
the storm raging about their heads"
