BOOM FOR
GOVERNOR IS ENDED
[Continued From First Page1


held reception at the party head
quarters in the Bolton. He will speak
on conservation and urge the tncor-
poration of his ideas In the resolu-
tions to be set forth as the party prin-
ciples
1t is probable that a resolution for
Pinchot for United States senator will
be offered. Everyone seems to favor
him.
Owing to the delays in the trains
the groups in the lobbies talked about
booms for nominations more than
anything else. 1t was taken Ior grant
ed that the legislative committee
would reaffirm the Legislative platform
of 1912 with the addition of declara-
ton in favor of woman suffrage, which
Miss Finn vainly tried to get her
father to endorse eighteen months
ago.
Young to Front
When Finn was taken out OF the
running for governor, the talk turn
ed to State Treasurer Robert K. Young
Of Tioga. Young's friends were much
in evidence, although there was no
declaration forthcoming that he would
be candidate. Little talk of William
Draper Lewis was heard and the only
man mentioned to any extent outside
|of Young was Fl. d. w. English of
Pittsburgh.
Lex n. Mitchell, the Jefferson coun
ty lawyer and nephew of ex-senator
James /. Mitchell, who Is to preside
at the conference, was doomed for
lieutenant governor and Major ]. b.
Brown, of Erie, once Secretary of In
ternal Affairs, was much in the talk
for his former place. Congressman
at-large A. r. Rupley, A. HI. Walters
and Fred e. Lewis are regarded as
sure to stand for nomination for their
seats, but whether the Bull Moosers
will take up John r. K. Scott, of
Philadelphia, for the fourth place Is
not very certain.
Sentiment of the followers Of the
colonel appears to be for ex-Judge
James M. Galbreath, of Butler, for
Supreme Court Justice, although as
that is nonpartisan 1t is not good form
to talk about 1t in the presence of Bull
Moose leaders.
The conference will start at with
la call of the State committee and
then veryone will be invited to speak
for the good of the party. And from
rumors a number of patriots are go
ing to talk.
The Start of 1914
To-day's was the opening move in
the important political campaign of
1914 in Pennsylvania. Invitations to
participate were extended to mem
bers of the Washington party State
committee, washington party county
chairmen, members of the electoral
college association, which is composed
of electors who supported Theodore
Roosevelt at the last presidential cleo
ton, and other Progressives not con-
nected with these bodies.
Pennsylvania will elect In November
a United States senator, Boies Pen
roses term expiring next year; gov
ernor, lieutenant governor, secretary
of internal affairs, thirtysix congress
men and members of the legislature.
Under the new direct primary law,
all party conventions are done away
with and all candidates will be Sc
lected by direct vote at the primaries
to be held in May.
According to the leaders the Pro
gressives will not join In any fusion
movement for United States senator
or State offices. If this program is
carried out 1t will mean three-cor-
nered fight all along the line between
the Democrats, Progressives and Re-
publicans.
