Elkin for Governor. l'hiltl Iclphin Inquirer. The RepublicanCommitteeof Indiana county has formally presented Attor ney General John P. Elkin as a candi date for Governor of Pennsylvania. This county is the home of the distin guished candidate. Those persons who know him best—the men among whom he has worked his way to prominence - place him before the voters of the.State. What they say of him comes from the heart. The Inquirer has been awaiting some such opportunity as this before declar ing itself. Mr. Elkin has never made his ambitions known to the public. But it may be taken for granted that the Indiana County Committee has his consent to present his name, and The Inquirer joins with that committee this morning in the hope that John P. Elkin may be the Republican candi date. It even goes further than that. IT MAKES MR. ELKIN ITS OWN CAN DIDATE, for the simple reason that it believes that there is no man better fitted to conduct the important alliairs the State than the present Attorney General. Mr. Elkin is essentially a man of the people. Ilis career is one that the yonng men of Pennsylvania might study with profit to themselves. He is self-made in every sense of the word. He was born in a log house in India na county. As a child he battled his way through the snows and across the fields for a mile and a half—a three mile trip each winter's day to and from the primary school. He worked on the farm. Later he helped his father in a country store, meanwhile pursu ing his studies. When the family re moved to Wellsville, Ohio, where a company for the manufacture of tin plate had been organized, he was obliged to work in the mills at day labor, because the capital which his father had invested had been exhaust ed. At fourteen he gained admittance to the high school, and left it at the head of his class. He returned to his old home in Indiana county, taught school and fought his way through the Indiana Normal School. From there he went to the Univeroity of Michigan, paying his way by his own hard work, and when he was graduated from the law school he was selected as the ora tor of his class. That is the manner in which John P. Elkin has made his way through life until he has reached the responsible position of Attorney General of Penn sylvania It is a story which, when told in de tail, must appeal to every person who loves to see a man force his way through the world unaided and alone. Indiana county prides itself upon the fact that it has never lost a fight to the Democrats. This is a splendid record undoubtedly. But Indiana county must have something more thaivparty fealty at its back when it presents a candidate for Governor. Fortunately it has that something. It has a mau, a son of the soil, of the country store, of the tin mills, who is without blemish, WHO CAN FACE HIS POLITICAL FOES WITH CLEAN HANDS, who can defy them all, who is not called upon to offer one word of excuse for any act of his own.' SUCH A CANDIDATE IS MATCH LESS. And because John P. Elkin is a matchless candidate The Inquirer sup ports him. His enemies say that legislative dis tricts will he lost. That is nonsense. They would say the same thing no matter whose shoulders the mantle of nomination might fall. They say that Congressional districts will be sacrificed. That is childish. If a man of the people cannot be elected Governor and command respect then no Republican can be chosen. The interest of the Inquirer has al ways been that of the Republican party. It believes in Republican prin ciples. The Republican party has made the United States the greatest nation on earth. It would do nothing that would in its opinion bring re proach upon that party or would hin der it in its great work of progress. When, therefore, it casts ALL its in fluence with Indiana county's candi date for Governor, it does so with its eyes wide open and in the absolute be lief that no man is safer, that no man can better lead the Republican Party to victory than John P. Elkin. Pennsylvania loves a self-made man. And so does the Inquirer. Indiana county's candidate—and the Inquirer's candidate—is just such a man. There is no doubt whatever that Mr. Elkin will have the support ofthe Philadelphia delegates. But he is pre eminently the candidate of the coun try, and the Philadelphia delegation Will but add its great weight to the ma jority to make his nomination practi cally unanimous. The country itself outside of Philadelpia will alone fur nish enough delegates to nominate triumphantly a man who has not got togo upon the defensive. Those who try to put him in such a position will, we think, quickly discover to their discomfort that defense is needed on their own part, not on his. Mr. Elkin has always been in touch with the people because he is of the people. He has been brought up in the schools of the people and he i>as taught the schools of the people. He has had experience in the mills, and he knows what hard work means and what the people need. Such a man the Inquirer accepts and it gladly supports Indiana county in offering him to the people. FOR GOVERNOR OF PENNSYL VANIA—JOHN P. ELKIN. And he will be nominated and elect ed by an overwhelming majority. WILL PROTECT LABOR Senator Penrose Meeting the Great Question of Chinese Exclusion. OPPOSITION NOW DEVELOPING Business Interests Trading With China Have Taken a Hand In the Fight, But the Republican Party Will Not Ignor the Workingmen. (Speclil Correspondence.) Harrisburg, Jan. 21. —The insincer ity of the average reformer has again been demonstrated in the pres ent silence which has been observed among the insurgent newspapers over the question of the exclusion of the Chinese laborers. The Pennsylvania insurgents have finally discovered that United States Senator Boies Penrose, by reason of his position as chairman of the com mittee on immigration of the senate, will wield great influence in shaping the legislation in congress on this sub ject. In an effort to cater to the labor vote some of the insurgent news papers made a great ado over this is sue some weeks ago in seeking to lead the movement for the re-enact ment of the Chinese exclusion law. But things are different now. The editors of these papers have learned that Senator Penrose is the real leader in this agitation and that upon his shoulders will largely rest the respon sibility of meeting the organized op position of large capital interests for liberal legislation affecting the Chi nese. AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM. Senator Penrose has arranged to give a hearing this week to represen tatives of both the advocates and the opponents of the proposed legislation to bar Chinese cheap labor from this country. It has developed that many business interests fear that if the action of congress shall be too radi cal on this subject trade with China will be seriously affected, and it may lead to retaliatory measures on the part of the Chinese government. New England interests, including the Great Boston and Maine railroad, representatives of the Canadian Pa cific railroad, in which a large amount of capital from the United States is invested, the Chamber of Commerce of New York, fearful of curtailment of the importing and export trade with China, and the Cotton Planters Association of the south, who ship millions of dollars worth of cotton and cotton goods to China, are among others who have requested an oppor tunity to be heard before Senator Penrose's committee. On the other hand. Senator Penrose has extended a cordial invitation to all labor organizations throughout the country to have representatives at the hearings or to communicate with him direct by mail, that he may submit to his colleagues in the sen ate, in a practical way, the views of American mechanics and laboring men on this great question. In conversation on this issue a few days ago. Senator Penrose among other things said: "I was not until recently aware of the many ramifica tions of this question of the exclusion of the Chinese laborers. I have re ceived many communications from business men, manufacturers, import ers and exporters and others on this subject, which goto show how keen ly some of our commercial and manu facturing interests are considering this matter. From the outset of this agitation I have made it a point to keep In touch with representative workingmen, among them officers of various trade unions and other organi zations, and I have gathered a vast fund of valuable information which will be available in framing the bill which will ultimately come from our committee. PENNSYLVANIA'S INTERESTS. "Throughout our own state of Penn sylvania the workingmen are fully alive to the situation, and I have had hundreds of letters from almost every section of the commonwealth insisting that there shall be no departure from the policy of exclusion of the Chinese laborers. "The men engaged in the vast an thracite and bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania, our great coke indus tries, the lumber interests and the im mense iron and steel plants and the other manufacturing establishments of the Keystone state, including many thousands of workingmen, are all deeply concerned in this subject. "Personally, my aim from the out set shall he to protect American labor from all encroachment of undesirable foreign labor, which at low wages would come in competition with the men who have served to make this country great, and prosperous. "The American home, above all, must be protected, and I am satisfied that wten this issue shall be finally met in congress the Republican party, which has always been a friend of labor, will not be found wanting in appreciation of the claims of the work ingmen of the country, and the cour age to afford them full protection In this matter."
