FAIR ARCHERS

the Republican machine run by Ware.
Things are a lot different now. par
ticularly since the Democrats gave the
Ware machine a licking last year.
Jack Kelly. who is new at politics,
is an old oarsman. He is youthful
and athletic. He has been smashing
political traditions as a bull smashes
china in a china shop. In the olo
days when a Democrat wanted TO see
the city chairman he had to get
through couple Of doors in the City
Hall. where ODonnell had his Office
as commissioner under sufferance Of
the Republican machine. Today the
new city chairman has a desk out in
the open in the barn-like Gufey- Earle
headquarters.
Not so very long ago Kelly was
Republican. but so were a lot of the
latter-day Democrats in Philadelphia.
He got. he says, raw deal from
the Republicans in his ward when he
undertook to help clean up. So he
jumped into the Democratic ranks to
continue cleaning up Republicans.
G. o. P. Silent on November.
The Democrats in Pennsylvania are
counting on two things to carry them
to victory in senatorial and State
elections in November. The first is
the Roosevelt popularity, which it is
admitted has been very great even in
this Republican State. The second is
the bad blood between the Pinchot
faction and the Reed -Mellon-G
faction par,,IhliconS ORC
not saying much about what will hap
pen in November just now. They
want to get the primary fight back
of them first, before they begin to
work on the Democrats. But some of
the Republicans admit privately that
the Democrats may roll up a very
large vote IN the Fall. They are
hoping that the Roosevelt popularity
will wane and the new deal become
more and more unpopular during the
Summer.
The Guffey-Earle Democrats would
rather see the Republicans nominate
Senator Reed for Senator than Gov.
Pinchot. Their reasoning is along this
line. The nomination of Reed would
make clean-cut issue between the
Roosevelt new deal and the Stand-pat
Republicans. Further, they hope that
Gov. Pinchot in the event of his de-
feat for the nomination will become
third party, independent candidate,
splitting up the Republicans in the
general election.
They do not believe-and with en-
tire justice-that Reed would ever be-
come an independent candidate. He
has said he will abide by the decision
OF the primary. Gov. Pinchot has so
far declined to answer that question.
Gov. Pinchot has gone along with
President Roosevelt in many ways and
it would be much more difficult for the
Democrats to make the issue between
Guffey and Pinchot, with Pinchot pic
tured as an enemy of the President.
