in making his campaign plans.
speaking of the Sproul plan
the Philadelphia Press says:
Actual campaigning IN con-
nection with the state election
of next November will be start
ed next week, and Senator Will
liam =. Sproul, candidate for
Governor, will be the man TO do
it. Early next week he will open
campaign headquarters and will
put out the personal platform
on which he seeks the nomina-
ton from the Republican party.
Senator Sprouts headquarters
will be near Broad and Chest
nut or Walnut streets, probably
in one OF the hotels, but If ar
rangements along this line can
not be made, he will take
suite in one of the nearby office
buildings. The Senator will Wis
it the headquarters every day
when he is not campaigning on
the road. and a staff of secre-
taries and clerks will be in con-
stant charge to receive visitors
from all parts of the state who

nation concerning the Sproul
candidacy. His platform decla-
ration is expected to take the
form of a statement to the
newspapers, although it may be
brought out in another way. In
it, the Senator will define his
viewpoint on the issues he be-
lieves involved in the campaign.

patriotic support of the federal
government through all possible
state sources will be one of the
principal notes sounded. Some
of the men who think they
know the Senator's ideas believe
he will make the statement that
Pennsylvania attitude on the
prohibition and woman's suf-
irage amendments during the
coming campaign is not
proper subject for the candi-
date for Governor to take up,
since the law provides that the
projected amendments to the
federal constitution are to be
voted upon by the State Legis-
lature and will not come to the
Governors desk in any way, not
even for his signature.
