peat that I stand sQuarely upon the
platform | stood ON in the primary cam
paign. AS Governor I shall do my best {.
with every power I have to put that
platform into operation.
Will Fight All Opposition
II hope and expect to have the sup
port of tho Legislature. I know I can
count upon the continued backing Of
that great body of voters who stood
by me in the primary. As Governor
| shall work shoulder to shoulder with
all who honestly help me in this task.
Just as surely I shall be forced to
fight with all my might opposition to
this program from whatever quarter it
may come.
$50 that my meaning may not be
misconstrued let me say emphaticnlly
that ! have no ambition to build 4
political machine. My job as Governor
will be to make good as Governor and
want all the help can properly get
10 that end.
This statement is not intended as Il
threat in any sense of the word. | have
said elsewhere in tho State that. If
necessary in carrying out my pledges.
| shall go to the people with the fullest
confidence that an appeal to them will
not be in vain. Neither Is that intended
as threat. II is intended to make it
perfectly plain that I am wholly sincere
in what | say and that | fully believe
! shall have the help Of every Re-
publican agency in the work the next
administration has TO do.
One thing which made n big hit
with the local leaders was Pin

| While IN the city today. Mr.. PinChot
will also speak at the luncheon of the
Shrine Club. The candidate arrived
in the city late last night after speak
| ing to an enthusiastic gathering in
| Lancaster.
In his Lancaster speech, the Forester
lo,d weekly Cabinet meetings. Such
exchanges of thought and plans are not
row provided for.
"Mv Job" said Pinchot. will be like
that Of remodeling and repairing n
great railroad bridge while trains Of
all kinds are running over 1t. No head
strong, laundering methods will work
There must be serious forethought and
planning. We must utilize all the good
elements In the old structure and keep
as much Of the general plan as suited
70 modern requirements.
Il am not going up there Ike a
bull In china shop. l will not have
a single thought Of reprisal or punish
mcnt. Those who will work Loyalty,
efficiently and honestly for the State
Will not be disturbed If their jobs are
necessary for the conduct of the State's s
business. On the other hand, ! will
fight for plan of reorganization which
Will abolish sinicures, and will not
tolerate ineficiency, dishonesty or dis.
loyalty, no matter how powerful may
be the political pull Of the persons con.
cerned.'
