C0nunueu from Fage Onc
LEGISLATURE I went to Harrisburg fire..
quently. and got very good idea OF
how things are run there
Mrs. Speiser is slated to succeed
Leopold G. Glass.
Mrs. Pitts is the wife of Robert A.
Pitts, real estate broker, who has Of.
fees in the Penfield Building. Until
six months ago he was chief Of the
Bureau Of Elevator Inspection and prior
to that time was an operative builder.
Mrs. Pitts will endeavor to displace
James Walker. a Mackey follower.
Tho views Of Mrs. Pitts coincide in
nearly every detail with those Of Mrs.
Speiser. Like her contemporary she
thinks the duty Of every woman who
gets into public Office is to work for the
best interests of her community.
The women were named BY the Com.
bine.. Mrs. De Young. Thirty; ;fourth,
Ward. is slated to take the place OF
Theodore Campbell. an old McNichol
follower.
VIII Oppose Woodward
The organization also set up as q
candidate against Senator George
Woodward, Of Germantown. William
II. DentzeI, of the Forty second Ward,
caroussel manufacturer. -
Senator Woodward is an independent
and was elected four years ago over
Ware candidate. He then had the sup.
mort of A. Lincoln Acker. who is now
a Ware leader, and Combine men say
Woodward, who sponsored the new
charter for Philadelphia. is doomed for
defeat.
Women have also been slated by the
Wares for the Republican State Com
mittee from each OF the eight sena-
torial districts. These Offices were
created for women by an amendment
to the party rules last year.
Some sharp fights were reflected by
the nature of the organization slate. In
the Seventh district, comprising the
Twenty first, Twenty second, Forty.
second and Forty third Wards, Con.
eressman George p. Darrow, who has
Ware backing. will be opposed by Dan.
iel Waters, a well-known manufacturer,
of Germantown. Mr.. Waters was a
candidate against Mr.. Darrow two yea RS
ago and succeeded in defeating him in
his (Mr. Darrow's) own ward. but
failed to carry the district. Then West
Philadelphia was embraced in the dis.
trict.
In the West Philadelphia congres.
sional district George A. Welsh, John
J. Coyle and Robert Carson will COM
pete for the Republican nomination.
