that they were going after the place
filled so long by Chief Clerk Thomas
II. Garvin, the sage of Sharon Hill
and guide and friend to successive
legislators, but Mr.. Garvin did not
appear to have lost any appetite over
it, Frank Morrison, who was assistant
clerk in 1915 and who comes from
John r. X. Scott's old legislative dis
trict, is the man said to have been
picked for the Garvin place by CoX's
men. In all probability there will be
Il drive inaugurated against other
legislative places, but the men who are
candidates for reelection refused to
talk. Their friends intimated that it
was a part of scare" program to get
some votes. The Cox people said that
they did not need the votes, but were
neither soaring anyone or throwing
away any chances.
Ehrhardt's Name Heard
Presence of Senator w. NJ. Lynch
and Representative f. c. Ehrhardt. of
Lackawanna, started rumops of a Cox
gain in the Lackawanna delegation,
and it was intimated that if Repre-
sentative James l.. Woodward, of
McKeesport, who aspires to be chair
man of the appropriations committee
again, persists in supporting Baldwin,
the Cox people might give the place to
Ehrhardt, who has long desired it.
Names of other men are being men
toned for the chairmanship of COM
mittees and the Cox people are going
along as though they had the contest
won and the Philadelphian welding
the gavel.
Baldwin people did not manifest
any disturbance over. the reports of
apportionment of patronage by their
sanguine opponents and said that it
would be a wise procedure to await
the count of the votes. of which they
!. blithely claimed 116.
y Attorney General Brown refused to
make any statement in reply to the
big shell fired at him last night by
Senator Penrose in Philadelphia and
his friends said that he was not likely
TO speak to-day. The Cox people prom
ised statement tonight, apparently
awaiting the result of the caucus to be
held in Philadelphia and news from
Pittsburgh.
Chester for Baldwin
statement was issued to-day by
the Chester county members hotly re-
senting the imputation by Attorney
General Brown that their actions were
controlled by any one man and declar-
ing that there is no hope of the Ches-
ter votes going to Cox. I'VE are sur
prised,' says the statement, that he
would be willing to measure his
strength by his chances of getting our
votes for his candidate. which is abso-
lutely no chance at all. The dwarf
who carries about with him a stick
with which to measure himself is a
dwarf in more senses than one"
The Chester legislators declare that
they are for Baldwin because he is the
best fitted man and for the reason that
they believe the Speaker should come
from the country districts. The state
ment closes with this shot: I'VE be-
lieve that most members of the Legis-
lature will resent the action of the
Attorney General and those associated
with him in their unfair methods to
defeat the candidate who has earned
the support of his party

of the ambassadors and chairman of
the meeting. Mr.. HildruD said, in
part: AT a distance so great that
there our East meets West and clocks
are Ginning even now the midnight
hour is country, vast in area, of in
credible resources, occupied by an in
dustrious people of more than four
times our own numbers; a people far
advanced in civilization and the arts
at period of history when tradition
says the founders of mighty Rome
were being nourished by their foster
mother wolf. From this distant land
some years since came to our shores
a youth well versed in the learning of
his native land. Despite the handicap
of an unknown and difficult language
this youth, who is to-day our honored
guest, in competition with the bright
est minds of our own young men
rapidly attained distinction and grad
uated within a few years from the COL
lege and law school of Columbia Uni
versity with highest honors. A few
years after graduating the distin-
guished honor of minister to our ma
tive land was conferred upon the bril-
liant young diplomat"
China and the United States
Economic Reconstruction After the
War" in so far as it affects trade re-
China, was the topic chosen by the
eminent scholar. Clearly and compre-
hensively he Sketched for his hearers
word picture of the possibilities that
lie in the ports of China as foreign
markets for this countrys products
He declared the Chinese are very
friendly to America and prefer to deal
with us because they trust and believe
in the business integrity of this ma
ton. THE best customers are the
ones who can pay and who have q
preference for the goods offered" said
the minister. The fact that China can
give us such a market in peace as
Europe is now giving us in war was
stressed and facts and figures mar
shaled in a convincing manner that
opened the eyes of many to the oppor-
tunities for expansion in the Far East
China is the worlds greatest poten-
tial market and has unlimited unde-
veloped natural resources; the adop-
tion of the dress of western civilization
calls for clothes; the construction of
many railroads has created a demand
for steel rails; China needs articles
which the United States can supply
and Shanghai or Peking is no farther
from Harrisburg to-day than was
st. Louis or Chicago a century ago."
The talk was q mastery exposition
of economic principles practically ap-
piled and was received with enthusi-
asm. An interesting incident in con-
nection with the Chinese minister's S
