RITTER ON ONE CONVENTION,
Agrees in Part With Ohairman Gathrie,
bat Wants to Decide One or Two Ques
tions Himself that Belong to the People
to Act Upon,
On the last page of this issue, sec-
ond column, will be found the proposi-
tion made by the Democratic State
Executive Committee to Mr. Ritter,
who poses ss the chairman of the
Guffey-Hall followers, for one con-
vention. Mr. Riiter has made reply,
and in part is willing to accept the
one convention proposition, but wants
to decide the question who shall not
be a candidate for national committee-
man, a prerogative that belongs to the
people.
On this question Mr. Guthrie, the
Democratic chairman, says :
‘ Neither Mr. Ritter nor any one else
has any right to dictate who shall or
who shall not be a candidate. The
delegates assembled in the convention
should and must be free to chose who-
soever they please. We have insisted
on this principle all along and we
shall continue to insist on it.”
MR RITTER'S TERMS,
Mr. Ritter 's terms are that one con-
vention be held in the Msjsstic thea.
ter at noon, May 7, and that Mr. Rit.
ter call it to order, who shall at once
turn it over to a temporary chairman
to be chosen by Mr, Guthrie from this
list of persons : Judge W. Rush Gillan,
of Franklin county ; William A. Glas-
gow, the Philadelphia lawyer or
Charles J. Reilly, of Williamsport, a
lawyer. Then, says Mr. Ritter, both
be and Chairman Guthrie will present
the name to the convention.
This chairman chosen shall preside and
select other officers of the convention,
and that the chairman and secretary
along with Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Rit.
ter ehall make up the roll of delegates
in accordance with the certificates of
the county commissioners of the sever-
al counties. Thereafter the conven-
tion shall be permanently oganized.
Ia return for this M:, Ritter wants
both Guffey and Congressman Pal-
mer to retire as candidates for national
meeting of the State Central Com-
mittee, Mr. Guthrie preside and then
both he and Ritter retire as candi-
dates for the state chairmanship
which will be filled at that time,
