mittee, which indorsed Mr.. Ross for
Governor, to place on its slate two
Philadelphia Democrats, one Elmer
Kilroy, speaker OF the House, for
lieutenant governor, and the other
Grover Cleveland Ladner for q place

Ross people now claim they have

Various explanations have been

Senator Guffey Is located and in q

Obviously, If Senator Guffey can
nominate and later elect his candi-
date for Governor, he will make his
position as Democratic leader in the
State almost unassailable. And Just
as obviously, his Democratic en-
emies in the State are anxious that
nothing Of that kind shall happen.

Guffey and Lawrence
Feud EnIivens 3-Way
Keystone Primary
Voters Reply Tuesday to
Bids by Democratic
Governor Candidates
BY GOULD LINCOLN,
Star Staff Correspondent.

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-Penn-
sylvania Democrats are providing
three-ring circus in their struggle
for a gubernatorial candidate. The
contest will be settled in the pri-
mary election Tuesday. Back Of all
the fracas lies the 4-year old feud
between Senator Guffey and David
j. Lawrence, Democratic national
committeeman. Mr.. Lawrence turned
his back squarely on Senator Guf-
fey in 1888, when Mr.. Lawrence was
State chairman and some of Sem
ator Guffey's friends wanted him as
the gubernatorial candidate.
Today, Senator Guffey has as his
candidate for the gubernatorial
nomination Judge Ralph M. Smith
OF the Common Pleas Court in AL
legheny County (Pittsburgh). Mr..
Lawrence is backing Auditor Gen
eral Clair Ross. The fur is flying as
q consequence.
The third candidate is Luther
Harr. Phi. D., who has the backing
OF Meredith Meyers, Democratic
State chairman, and the Philadel-
phia Record, the strongest Demo-
cratic newspaper in the State. DR..
HaT Is a liberal" and Is Offering
himself as a harmony candidate"
in the hope Of ending the intraparty
row between the Guffey and Law
renee factions.
DR.. Harr is no novice in the politi-
cal game, however. He has been
city treasurer in Philadelphia, and
in 1910 he managed the campaign
Of Senator Guffey for reelection at
the Democratic National Convention
in Chicago. That year he is credited
with having done yeoman service in
lining up the big Pennsylvania dele
cation in favor of the nomination of
Vice President Wallace for the Office
he now holds. Last year President
Roosevelt appointed DR.. Harr con-
sumers' counsel for the Bituminous
Coal Commission. Senator Guffey

insists that the appointment was
made at his instance.

insists that the appointment was
made at his instance. .
Two political organizations, or
machines, are supporting two Of the
candidates. The Democratic State
organization is backing Mr.. Ross,
and so-called Federal organization
headed by Senator Gufiey Is for
Judge Smith. DR.. Harr is the candi-
date without an organization sup
port. He hopes to make good
showing nevertheless, and the con-
tention Is made by his friends that
in this contest, a plurality of the
vote will win, and it may be his.
Generally, however, the politicians
and observers here say that the race
lies between Mr.. Ross and Judge
Smith. Mr.. Ross not only has the
backing of majority Of the State
Committee, but he has built up an
organization of his own, handing
out jobs that come under his divi-
sion Of the State government in
liberal fashion. In fact, he has
about as complete a political ma
chine as any since the days of Mat
Quay, Republican boss in Pennsyl-
vania many years ago. He appointed
majority of the members of the
State Committee, or members of
committeemen's families to Offices
under his control. In Philadelphia
he has placed So out of 81 ward
committeeman on the pay roll.
Not all is beer and skittles in the
Philadelphia organization, however,
for Mr.. Ross. James P. Clark, DEM
ocratic city chairman, announced q
little more than week ago his sup
port OF Judge Smith, the Guffey
candidate. This caused sensation,
for it was generally supposed that
he would go along with Mr.. Ross,
especially as ne had been able to

Of the gubernatorial race in New
York State.
The administration would have
liked to see former Ambassador
William G. Bulitt put forward as
the Democratic white hope. But
that did not work. 1t is reliably re-
ported that 1t would be glad to have
DR.. Harr nominated. But the White
House is expected to say nothing
publicly.
State Chairman Meyers made the
mistake of announcing in Harris
burg some time ago that Chairman
Ed Flynn of the Democratic National
Committee had said that the Presi-
dent preferred Or. Harr as q candi-
date. He spoke out of turn, how

reason, outside of the professionals
who play politics for a livelihood,
the interest in the campaign is not
so great. 1t is expected that the

light, possibly only IS to 40 per cent
Of the registered vote.
White Houses Stake High.
The White House has q stake in
