MAKES
PREDICTIONS
Says Scott Will Be Defeated
in Philadelphia at the
May Primary Fight

United States Senator Penrose de-
clared yesterday that Senator Sproul
for governor and Senator Edward e.
Beidleman for lieutenant governor
would carry Philadelphia at the pri-
maries over Highway Commissioners
O'Neil and Congressman John r.. X.
Scott. The Senator said that re-
ports show O'Neil will probably lose
his own city-McKeesport.
In his statement, Senator Penrose
declared that the voters of the state
are aroused over the issues of the
campaign and that the vote to be
cast for Beidleman will be a huge
surprise.
The Senator said: Great activity
has started everywhere. In Allie
gheny county the change is particu-
larly noticeable. The declaration of
Magee in favor of O'Neil has, to a
great extent, destroyed Magee politi-
cally and distinctly hurt O'Neil. In
the McKeesport Congressional dis
trict. sX-Congressman Coleman is
contesting the Republican nomina-
ton with Clyde Kelly. When he en-
tered the contest his chances were
distinctly adverse. His victory over
Kelly will carry Beidleman and the
whole state program of regular Re-
publicans. The proba abilities are that
O'Neil will lose his own town of Nc
keesport at the primary election.
Sproul. Beidleman, Woodward and
the candidates for Congressman-at-
large will carry Allegheny county by
a majority which will steadily grow
until the end of the primaries.
The reports regarding the Phila-
delphia situation. with singular
unanimity, indicate Beidleman will
carry the Republican primaries IN
Philadelphia county on May 21. OF
course, everyone comedies Sproul will
have a large majority for governor,
regardless of what may happen.
The real fight is on the Office of
Lieutenant governor. and the result
is going to surprise a great many
people. Throughout the state the
regular party organization is intact
and aggressive. and with them are
united the forceful and intelligent
men of each county.
The opposition is chiefly compos-
ed of the officeholders under the dis
credited state administration, COM
bined with some fanatics and dis
gruntled political office-seekers. This
opposition will be ineffective and
largely scattered when it comes to
real voting.
The sentiment is widespread that
O'Neil does not measure up in any
way to the standard and ideals which
the people are accustomed to apply
to the Office of governor of Pennsyl-
vania. The Scott candidacy of
course. is held in adherence.
