PEHHSYLVAH1A REPUBLICAHS
WHICH MAKES THE MATTER PLAIN TO VOTERS
"crlpp New Association)
Harrisburg, Pa June 6. The Repub
lican State convention of Pennsylvania
which was called to -rder at the Opera
House this forenoon, by W. R. An drews
chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, is the first one held in the
State for many years, that is not under
the direct control of the Republican ma
chine. Its defeat at the first election has
practically shattered the controlling power
of the Republicar machine and, so ar as
is known, the convention held here today
is free from dictation and can do as it
sees fit.
Senator Knox, who was made perma
nent chairman, in his address dealt almnat
exclusively with national political and the
position wnicn the Republican1 party is
taking concerning them. The morning
session of the convention wa devoted al
most altogether to routine matters, aa the
eelection of committees and consideration
of committee reports. The real battle
will not begin until after luncheon.
Never wa th tituation in a Republican
State Convention in this state more pecu
liar and unsettled than in this case. The
convention hat the tisk to nominate can.
didates for governor, lieutenant governor
auditor general, and secretary of internal
affairs. There is no lack of Dossibla can
didates for the gubernatorial nomination
but there does not seem to be a tingle
candidate upon whom the various factions
jn the party seem likely to unite. Some
time ago when the Weaver candidacy was
first breached it seemed that it miuhl h
a walk-over for Mavor Weaver, of Phil
adelphia, who has done such noble work in
overthrowing the corrupt machine. Since
then, however, the machine element
guided and directed by Senator Penrose,
has been active and it is asserted that in
strong has been the influence of Penrose
that Weaver will not even be able to ob
tain a majority of the Pnilideiphia delega
tion. The Penrose men boldly assert,
that Weaver is impas ibl at a candidate
and hat n t the slightest show to be nom
inated. It was exptcted that Weaver
would receive the unanimous support of
the new Lincoln party, but a strong fac
tion in that party is opposed to Weaver
and favor either former Senator Lewis
Emeiy, jr. or McKean.
One of the strongest Duatiblecandirtatii
is said to be Representative Ernest F.
Acheson, who for twelve years has rep
resented th Twenty-fourth district of
Pennsylvania in the House. He is a
strong man. has a clean record and seems
to re tn most likely man to be selected
as a compromise candidate. Manv of

RULE AND ADOPT PLATFORM
trength enough throughout the Stat to
command th upport of th' western
delegate. Besides these, there ar sev
eral other candidate for the mih.
torial nomination, among thm former
lieutenant uovernor Louis A. Watres, of
bcranton, and Robert S. Mumho nf
Johnston. Both have been working quiet
ly in support of their own booms and are
said to bs sure of several dletinn
It is well known that Penrose desires the
nomination of Congressman Charln W
Stone, but it is pretty safe to say that no
man openly favored by Penrosa ha th
gnost or a chane in thi convention. Sen
ator P. S. Knox has been mentioned as a
possible candidate, but even his staunchest
mends have no great hooes of his nomi.
nation. The field is practically open to
any man and at present it is impossible to
foreshadow the result of the vote.
Major Isaac E. Brown, the Drasent In
cumbent, seem to be the most promising
candidate for Secretary of Internal
Affairs. He ha shown enntiH.r.hi.
strength at the time of hi election for the
nrst term and there is no other candidate
in the field whose political strength can
equal that of Secretary Brown. His re
cord is clean and he has many friends
throughout the state.
The indication at noon point to the
selection of Edwin Stuart for the nominee
for govenor. There is an intent desire on
part of the majority to break awav "from
boss rule. The platform abopted this
morning is strongly by anti-boss.
Late this afternoon Staurt was nomin
ated on the first ballot.

the voters with very little agitation.
