IN PURGING PARTY
Housecleaning Faction Pre-
pare Appeal to Leader for
Personal Investigation of
Alleged Betrayal in State.

Preparations are being made for an APP
peal to Theodore Roosevelt to come into
PENNSYLVANIA and investigate the alleged
betrayal Of the Progressive party here by
William Finn, of Pittsburgh and L. A.
Van Nalkenburg. of this city.
This move on the part of the faction
in the Washington party, which is con-
duCtIng the Statewide movement TO
throw off the Flinn-Nan Valkenburg con-
troll and rchabilitate the party, came
simultaneously with their rejection of
Clifford Pinchot as the Progressive cam
didate for United States Senate.
Richard r. Quay. of Pittsburgh,
sounded the note of protest agains the
candidacy of Mr.. Pinchut, intimatng
that he regarded the former Chief For-
ester for the Government as a Squat
ter in Pennsylvania. lie further de-
cared that he favored a genuine Penn
sylyanian as a candidate. Mr.. Quay's
attitude, II IS pointed out, is particularly
significant in view of his personal friend
ship for Colonel Roosevelt and his posi-
tlUu as reader in the Progressive move
ment in the western end of the State.
The stand taken by Mr., Quay was
promptly seconded this afternoon by Viii
liam l.. Deakyne, of this city, the former
treasurer of the Washington Party Coun-
t. Committee and a heavy financial sup
porter Of the Progressive movement. Mr..
Deakyne said While as yet 1 am not
fully advised as To the reasons behind
Mr. Quay's move, still | feel well enough
acquainted with the situation to take
my stand by his side against Mr.. Pm
chOt."
The plan to have Colonel Roosevelt
come INTO Pennsylvania ana make a per
sonal investigation of the activities Of
Mr.. Finn ana Mr.. Van Na.kenbuyg has
been under consideration for several
days, although the sponsors of tho party
clean-out' movement are not willing 10
state who will make the first move
Mr.. Deakyne agreed this afternoon that
Mr.. Quay will in all probability be the
man to go to Mr. Roosevelt and lay the
problem Of party regeneration before him.
We in Pennsylvania" Mr.. Deakyne ad-
ded, cannot afford 10 have Mr. Roosc-
Welt sacrificed to the trcachery of the
Finn Van Yalkcnburg influences"
While as yet 10 one has given any
reason for the unexpected opposition to

lievel in poltiCa. circles that tie opro-

She knew too. that Julian had mt,

there was no money in the house. shs
