Warm Feeling for kendb'ick
&c. r,r ne know all my friends are
supportlpg Mayor Moore Tor delega'e,
atlsrge 10 the national convention. l
go m Doubt that he will be elected.
.ad nc he has very wide acqualnt-
sru oi through the country it is very
Jos;rahlc that he be a delegate. He will
"dJ srcatly to the strength Of the Penn
syIysnia delegation. and I hope that he
~ill bc given general support through
out the stare ,.or,. warm feeling also for
ur Ecndrick. and I urge his being in
cInded in the delegates at large because
7 felt he would add to the prestige Of
the delegation
"Mr. Kcndrick is head of the Shrin-
srs in America. and has very poten-
tisl friends in every state in the Union.
aid not nel that our local factional
matters should enter into the question
Of the selection of delegates, and / still
feel that way.
To Confer with Moore
Mr. Sproul would not comment ON
the possible elimination of Attorney
General SChaffcr from the delegates at
large slate in the interests of harmony,
nor would he discuss any other names.
Governor SprouI is 30 confer with
Msyor Moore at the Cnion League and
later with Senator Pcnrose at the
lsuer's home. 1891 Spruce street.
Senator Ware this morning touched
OF politicaI pinwheel when he de-
clared the Governor had assured him
Of thr Governor S support of the re-
ceiver Of taxes.
In return for this support. the Ware
organization will throw heavy vote
to the Governor himself to offset knit
ing" by the liquor interests. who plan
revenge on the state executive for his
attitude on the liquor question.
The difficulty confronting the Gov
erpor arises from the fact he is sup :,
porting both the Mayor and Mr.. Ken
drick His problem is to create har-
nony sufficient TO permit the names of
both TO appear on the state organiza E
ton slate.
Might Hold Down Lid
His success at the conferences. il is
said, would hold down the lid on a
Paudora box Of trouble. for failure Ia
win place for Kendrick would affrout
the Ware organization and weak stand
for the Mayor might influence the city
administration.
Then. too. Senator Penrosc looms
large IN tho EQUATION because without
doubt he will be an important factor in
the maneuvering at Chicago next
month
Friends Of the state administration
today pointed to the possibility of ths
attorney general withdrawing from the
dslegate.at large slate to make way for
kendrick.
The attorney general recently set q
precedent in that direction when hC
withdrew as a candidate for district
delegate from Delaware county. "
that instance he eliminated himself il
iaVor OF Samuel NJ. Nauclain and in tn,
interests of harmony.
