Earle of being a fool" and liar"
and Guffey of being unfit.
1T nauSeates me-" said Gov, Pinchot
to a large crowd of Lackawanna
County voters a night or two ago,
ito think that the people Of Pennsyl-
vania might fall for Guffey and Earle.
These men attach themselves to
Franklin D. Roosevelt as flea at
taches himself to faithful watchdog.
But you don't hurt your dog when
you kill his fleas." And pair OF
political fieas these gentlemen have
become in the minds of a lot Of Re-
publican voters since this speech.
While Gov. Pinchot continues to
lambast Guffey and Earle, he refers
to President Roosevelt as a great
President" and announces his SYM
pathy with many of the things Roose-
velt is trying to do. His is no anti
New Deal campaign, merely a cam
paign against the heads of the Demo-
cratic ticket in this State, whom he
dubs two total losses" If they had to
stand on their own records in this
campaign, they would be hopelessly
beaten, he insists.
Earle and Guffey have hit back
at the Governor, charging he is
merely a disappointed man who
sought to make deal to have him
self placed on the Democratic ticket
as senatorial candidate or, Mrs. Pin
chot, his wife, on the same ticket as
candidate for Governor. Neither of
them, however, have the Governors
gift of bitter phrases, and the Gov
ernor and Mrs. Pinchot have both
replied that the alleged proposals OF
deals were not of their seeking. but
of Democratic origin. Earle and
Guffey. charge, too. that the Gov
ernors present support OF the Re
publican ticket is in payment for the
confirmation of some of his appoint
ments to the Public Service Commls-
sion. And so it goes.
The Governor has not relented in
his antagonism to the MELONS. In
the days of the primary campaign he
referred to Senator David A. Reed,
Republican, who is seeking re-elec-
ton. as Andrew Melons messenger
boy in Washington. But he claims
that Guffey is the same, the only
difference being that Reed has been
an open messenger while Guffey has
been a messenger sub rosa.
The attack on Guffey has been
Joined in by E. Lowery Humes,
United States attorney for Western
Pennsylvania in the Wilson admins
tration, who said in Pittsburgh that
Guffey had forced the nomination Of
himself and philadelphia Repub-
lican, George H. Earle, through the
use Of Federal patronage"
Kelly Heads Democrats.
The Democrats in Philadelphia
have built up a new organization
headed by Jack" Kelly. Kelly is an
oarsman who won the worlds cham
pionship at single sculling in the past.
He is a young man and supremely
confident in the work he is doing
trying to make Democratic city out
of this old Republican stronghold.
The new Democratic organization has
given a kick to the old O'Donnell
Democratic outfit. which in reality
was just an adjunct Of the Ware
machine in former days.
Kelly is preparing for knock-down,
drag-out fight at the polls if, as he
saws, "the Republicans get rough"
and he predicts that there will be
plenty of heads cracked on election
day under such conditions. He has
arranged for a meeting of some four
or five thousand Democratic workers
at which a new kind of play will be
presented. On the stage will be a
setting showing the inside of polling
booth. Actors will appear, imperson-
