state Treasurer Robert K. Young,
although conceded to have the inside
track for the Washington party nomi-
nation for Governor, is not likely to
be q candidate. The looming up Of
Ex-Governor Edwin s. Stuart as the
likely Republican nominee. fear of
trouble inside the progressive party's
State organization if the nomination
goes to the Tioga county man and a
desire on the part of the treasurer to
work out q system in appropriations
for the State are said to be causes
leading to Mr.. Young's determination
not to be candidate.
Stuart and Young we're candidates
on the same ticket in 1906 and have
always been CLOSE personal friends;
there Is smouldering discomfort in the
Bull Moose State organization over its
domination by Finn and Van Valken-
burg, who are friendly to Young, and
II he should be a candidate he would
draw, the fire Of those opposed to the
two leaders and put them into an un-
comfortable position, and lastly Young
has for couple Of years been study
Ing the States financial affairs and 1t
is one Of his hobbies to devise some
appropriation policy. His speeches
and remarks have been all along that
line and it Is said by his friends that
he prefers to do that to running for
the uncertain gubernatorial chair.
This being the situation, it is prob
able that the eastern wing Of the
Washington party at least will turn
toward William Draper
Lewis as it's candidate
for Governor. 1t was Lewis Now
settled at the recent con- in Favor
ference in this city that for Place
Clifford Pinchot should
be the candidate for SEN
ator and tentatively agreed by some
OF the leaders to boost Judge James
n. Galbreath, of Butler. for Supreme
Court, although the strength Of Frazer
and Kunkel was admitted on all sides.
Congressman M. Clyde Kelly's antics
In washington make him too great a
burden for the party leaders to carry
and Julian Kennedy and III. D. w.
English are not known enough outside
OF Allegheny county to appeal to the
rank and file of the Bull Moosers, es-
pecially In year when William Finn
says the 125,000 militant Washington
party men will bear the expense Of
the coming campaign and not his own
long-suffering pocketbook, which was
so feelingly referred to by Editor M.
7. Stokes. of Coudersport, at the con-
ference. The truth of the matter Is
that with Finn reluctant to "unbelt'
and Young thinking how to put the
State on business basis, the leaders
are pushing forward a candidate
whose brains are expected to make
him attractive.
Every day witnesses the growth of
the sentiment for Ex-Governor Edwin
s. Stuart for the Republican nomi-
nation, his record as
Governor being con-
stuart is stantly referred to, and
Looming Up men from interior coun-
over state ties who have been here
this week for the nu-
merous meetings and
doings at the Capitol are talking of
him as the man of the hour There is
mention. more or less individual, of
Brumbaugh, Health Commissioner
Samuel G. Dixon. ex-Auditor General
A. ID. Sisson. Lieutenant Governor
Reynolds and ex-senator l.. A.
Watres as available men. but it seems
to come back, in the conversations of
those who have been here. to a sit
uation wherein man more directly
ed and Stuart Is put forward. Senator
Penrose on his visit to Pittsburgh was
impressed with the growth of the
Stuart sentiment and people all over
the State are urging that the former
Governor be asked to run.
The prominence of Stuart in the
gossip attending the campaign has
caused some of the Progressives to
hint about getting to-
gether on State ticket
and there is consider Democrats
able talk to that effect I'm Unhappy
in Philadelphia. T he Situation
Democrats are worse
split than ever and thus
far Ambassador Guthrie has shown no
inclination whatever to come home
from Toxic to enter the lists as the
party candidate for Governor. Palmer
is being annoyed by the friends of
Michael j. Ryan. who are writing him
letters urging him to recognize Ryans
worth, and has as yet kept the cloth
on his candidate, If he has picked one.
Ryan opened his headquarters In
Philadelphia yesterday and is an
active candidate with hackers all over
the State.
Herr Moeslein. Democratic county
