a member of the upper branch of
the Legislature from the Indiana
jefferson district. And it was he
whom Governor Stuart named
chairman of the Joint Legislative
Commission to investigate the
frauds.
The Commission Immediately got
down to serious business by retain
ing the late James Scarlet, famous
attorney, as chief counsel, and also
firm of auditors under whose
direction the bills for the furnish
ings were checked up.
Despite every obstacle and the
strongest pressure, Senator Fisher
pushed the investigation. The
strongest influence is said to have
been brought to bear upon him,
especially in an effort to swerve
him from recommending prosecu-
tons. Men he had known for
years were among those impli-
Gated. Yet he held steadily to his
own concept of public duty, and
at the earliest practicable time
rendered a report which speedily
resulted in civil suits and criminal
resolutions.
A large sum of money was re-
gnincd for the state; four of the
indicted men were convicted then.
and another short time later;
several others died during the
course Of the Investigations and
prosecution.
1t was largely because of the
high ideals, the answering honor
and steadfast determination of
John S. Fisher that the Republic
can Party was cleansed of the
stigma which had come upon it,
and that the state was spared any
further shame in one Of the worst
political scandals that ever had
come upon it.
Since then Mr.. Kosher has added
immeasurably to his es%sp -9Mnce
and knowledge of the states
affairs and needs; but he has not
changed in the slightest degree in
his high ideals and unimpeachable
code of honor,
The reports that are coming to
he Pepper-Fisher headquarters
Indicate that the Republican voters
OF Pennsylvania are eomiE. = a
onrmou agreement that they need
John s. Fisher as the next Cover
nor Of Pennsylvania, and that they
will take the first step toward that
end by nominating him in the
Primary, on May 18th.

Philadelphia.-Reports from all
arts of the State received at the
Pepper-Fisher headquarters here
indicate an overwhelming tide of
Republican reaction against the
Nare-Beidleman candidates., which
seek to impose the control Of com
mereiali2ed politics upon every
community and county in the Com
monwealth.
The ridiculous spectacle made
by Ware when he appeared before
the Senate Committee conducting
hearings upon proposed changes in
existing dry laws, plus the vacillat-
ing attitude Of his ally, Beidleman,
who aspires to the nomination for
Governor, has made it clear to
Republicans in all parts of The
state that the fictitious issues in
jected into the campaign by the
Vare-Beidleman Combine have
been for the sole purpose Of trying
to blind the voters to the real
menace of that ticket,
In sharp contrast with the sort
of commercialized politics for
which William S. Ware and Ed
