SENATOR PENROSE OPTIMISTIC

Senator William e. Crow. chairman
of the Republican State committee
has taken initial steps to provide a
set of rules for the Republican party
| in Pennsylvania.
| When the Finn faction got posses
I sion of the Republican party State
convention in the Roosevelt sweep a
motion was adopted resembling all
party rules and no substitute code of
rules was adopted.
Chairman Grow has named as a
subcommittee to draft a set of rules
to be reported to the full State COM
mittee the following:
d. Edward Long, Chambersburg,
Franklin county.
Josiah D. Hicks. Altoona, Blair
county.
L. G. Thomas, Latrobe. Westmore-
land county.
Chairman Grow said he will call a
| meeting of the Republican State COM
mittee shortly to act upon the report
of the committee.
Senator Penrose. with whom Chair
man Grow and other active Repub-
licans were yesterday in conference,
said last evening that
all port s indicate
.. S. Senator that the Republican
PenrOse Is party in the State Is
Optimistic harmonious and ag-
greSSive.
The tide is turning,
| he said. and a decided reaction has set
| in against Democratic policies. There
is a pronounced undertone of senti-
ment in favor of a return to Repub-
| lican domination of national affairs,
| and the opinion is expressed on every
side that the time has arrived when
| in this great industrial State of Penn
| Syivania men who believe in the prin-
| ciples of the Republican party, in the
| idea of protection to American indus
tries, should get together and work in
| accord to name Republicans for every
office to be filed.
When questioned as to probable
nominees for Governor and other
| offices to be filled this Fall, Senator
Penrose said:
There is no effort to make a slate.
| The main thought seems to be to let
public sentiment develop and that no
| partisan spirit should be entertained
| in seeking to further any particular
interests. without having any clear
idea at this time as to the construc-
tion of a State ticket, feel confident
that Republican sentiment will de-
velop in the next three months in a
way to bring about a satisfactory re-
suit"
There is no doubt that the result of
the exchange of views among active
Republicans from the interior of the
State during the last
few days is that ex-
