APPEALS TO G. o. T..
Committee OF One Thousand Asks
for Local Option Plank.

Philadelphia, Pa. June 12-An ap-
peal to Republicans OF Pennsylvania
TO remove the liquor stain from their
party by adopting county local OPP
ton in the next Legislature was made
by the executive committee of the
Committee of One Thousand for local
option.
Following meeting OF this COM
mittee IN the Stock Exchange Build
ing, statement was issued which
says:
The executive committee, at it's
meeting, felt that the Republican
party, through its representatives on
the State committee and through it's
representatives In the State Legisla-
ture. cannot afford to appear as the
toy and tool of the liquor interests.
The impression must not 60
abroad at this>crisis that the Repub-
lican party is the party OF liquor.
There is no man in the party in Penn
sylvanla who is big enough to take
the defiant position that the party can
allow. itself to be the plant tool and
servant of the liquor interests in
Pennsylvania, in return for help of
various kind, and continue to deserve
and receive tho support OF the voters
of the Commonwealth"
The statement carries unusual I'm
portance from the fact that several
Republican leaders are on the COM
mittee which issued 1t. The executive
committee comprises the following:
Francis r. Reeves Alba r. John
son. Charles +. Jenkins. Francis A.
! Lewis. William d. Disston. Roman
c. Hassrick, Horace Geiger, Homer
w Tope--Dr. w. w. Keen and J.
Sibley FELTON,.
| There will be enrolled on the Com
mittee OF One Hundred nearly 800
/ physicians, more than 400 business
men, and several hundred lawyers all
of whom have declared themselves in
favor of local option. The commit
! tee will work for the election of leg
islators pledged to local option.
