HITS WELFARE LAWS
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 18. It's hard
to say whether the Pennsylvania Re
publicans' financial opulence or po
litical bankruptcy Is moro striking.
Here in this huge state, where the
Democrats have given the votera four
years of really nauseous government,
the Republicans had their great op
portunity. They might have won with
any mildly liberal, fairly personable
candidate.
Instead, they have chosen to out
Hanne, Mark Hanna. The Republican
party In Pennsylvania is not Just
controlled by big business. It ac
tually la big business. In the persons
of the following five worthies:
Moses L. Annenberg, who began
life In the purlieus of Chicago, made
a huge fortune from a racing tip
sheet and poolroom news service, And
set up to be a statesman when he
bought the" Philadelphia Inquirer for
a reputed S16.000.000. He has pur
chased an Immense Influence In the
Republican party, much in the man
ner of a flush bookmaker buying l
piece of a broken-down Broadway
leg-show.
Joseph N. Pew. the Sun OH Co.
millionaire. A great political butter
and egg man. Pew owns a piece of
the party only allghtly amaller than
Annenberg's. He must enjoy spend
ing his money, for Pew candidates
have rarely won, and he goes right
on backing new ones.
Ernest T. Weir, the powerful stcei-
master. His belief In his own brand
of industrial feudalism Is quite hon
eat.and Indeed almost religious. Un
fortunately. It makes him anathema
to all Pennsylvania labor.
Josepk N. Grundy, the broken-down
tariff lobbyist. Dear old Joe Grundy,
with his cigar and his Jowls, ought
to be preserved In a political mu
seum, as the last surviving specimen
of the 100 per nt pure, guaranteed
unretouched early McKlnley Republi
can. Finding him at large In a poli
tical campaign In the year 1838 makes
you feel as though you'd seen a pas
senger pigeon.
