given throughout the State to re-
marks by Mayor-elect Thomas 3.

significant of the attitude of many
prominent Republicans throughout
Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh mayors have come out
against any disruption of the Re-
publican party by "a fight over ma
1onal delegates and against Senator
Penrose and the remarks of the Phila-
delphia mayor-elect are taken as a
reiteration of his stand.

ministration, it is predicted, will seek
tc strengthen the hands of those who
have been looking after the party
management in the several wards
and who have by their election to the
Republican City Committee demon
strated their strength with the poten-
tial men in their respective Republi-
can Ward Executive Committees.
