Men who have accompanied Gov
ernor Martin G. Brumbaugh on his |
two tours of the agricultural regions
of the State have been so much i'm
pressed by the crowds which have |
turned out to see the States chief ex-
ecutive that they are urging the Gov
ernor to assume the leadership of the |
party in the state and to submit to the |
voters at the November election the
question whether they will support
legislative candidates committed to
his program. 1t Is considered ex-
treniely likely that the Governor will
do SO and go before the voters of Penn
sylvania for the second time in a year
for their endorsement. His friends say
that tho conditions will be entirely
different. In May the Governor sought
a political preference which would
carry with it the leadership of the Re-
publican party in the Keystone State.
In November he will go to the people
after nearly two years of tenure of
office and ask endorsement of his ad-
ministration. If majority of legis-
lators committed to his policies, from

option, are elected. he will be elected.
they hold.
The Governor plans to stop at York
Tomorrow soon after the convention
of the State League of Republican
Clubs begins its convention and his
counties are planning to raise the roof
for him. He will be strongly endorsed
in the resolutions.
That the Governor intends to make
a keynote speech is indicated by re-
given by him to the Philadelphia Led
ger last night when he outlined his
speech to be made at York. He said:
L shall outline as nearly as possible
the manner in which think the Re-
publican party of Pennsylvania should
which, If followed. should make the
party impregnable in the next twenty
years. and may require all of that time
to be translated into law. Not all of
these recommendations can be carried
out at once, but if we keep steadily
arrive in time. All of my recon-
mendations will be constructive. pro-
vision of the Republican party's des-
tiny, perhaps for a generation, as I
behold 1t now. I shall deal with none
of the small, petty questions regarding
leadership must be progressive, must
be in touch with the people and must
have a stimulating influence on the |
future of the party. The next twenty |
years may be required to put all these |
into effect, but we want to start at |
once, and it is high time that the at |
tention of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania was called to their essen
tial bearing on the future success of |
the party, not to speak of the greater |
matter, of prosperity and welfare of
the people of Pennsylvania"
Suffragists of the state have re-
Guested a hearing before the Repub-
lican State committee which will meet |
in the near future in Philadelphia. In |
a letter to State Chairman William e. |
Crow, Mrs. George B. Orlady. president |
of the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage |
Association, writing on September %, |
announces that the committee will be |
asked to give a hearing to a suffrage
delegation and pass strong resolution |
favoring woman suffrage in Pennsyl- |
vania which will pledge the support
of all Republican organizations in the |
effort to secure second woman suf-
frage referendum in 1920. Mrs. Orlady
in announcing the request says that 1t
will be demonstrated conclusively |
whether or not national Republican
party platforms are binding upon Re-
Orlady declares that If the national
party platforms are what they profess
to be, Republicans of Pennsylvania,
who will have seats in the next Legis-
lature, will vote unanimously for the
woman suffrage bill to be introduced.
and in accordance with the woman
suffrage plank in the national Repub-
lican party platform will favor suffrage
for women in Pennsylvania in 1920.
while the League of Clubs Is in
session at York tomorrow and Wednes-
day Candidate Charles Evans Hughes
will be meeting the Republicans of
Western Pennsylvania at Pittsburgh.
The Governor will enter Pennsylvania
after his Ohio tour on Tuesday night
and will be in Pittsburgh for rousing
big meeting on Wednesday. Senator
Boies Penrose and Senator George t.
Oliver will be with him in Pittsburgh.
State Chairman William e. Crow
and other officials of the Republican
state committee will be guests of the
Republican League of Clubs at York
this week. Senator Crow will probably
make a brief address.
--Philander G. Knox plans to make
half a dozen visits this week and has
a pretty stiff schedule IL he expects to
keep all of his engagements.
Northern tier men are trying to
work uD some enthusiasm IOF w. +.
Longstreet tor senator against ex-Sen-
ator Frank E. Baldwin. Baldwin.
from all accounts. has good start in
the race.
The Central Democratic Club is to
visit Shadow Lawn on October a along
with some $500 other Democrats. 1t
will be a great day for the machine
Democrats and the Federal officehold-
ers. They will pay their own fare.
Senator E. E. Beidleman seems to
have opened the campaign pretty we'll
in his Middletown speech. His discus
sion of Dauphin county matters was
heard with interest.
Kate Richards O'Hare. noted
Socialist speaker, is to visit this sec
ton. She will speak here on Octo-
Der IA.
Plans to stimulate registration are
reported from a number of the smaller
cities. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh
appear to have the best of it.
The Philadelphia Ledger in a
Washington dispatch yesterday lam
basted the Democrats who talk about
Wilson carrying Pennsylvania. The
article seems to think that National
Chairman Mccormick is just amusing
the party during the early days of the
campaign by intimating possibility of
the state being debatable.
