Harrisburg News Letter,
Sopator Penrose’s Investigating Resc-
Jution now goea to the Governor for
such section ss he deems proper. It
is predicted that be will veto it on the
ground that is unfair and factions],
and as the Penrose gang cannot mae-
ter the necessary two-thirds of each
House to pace it cver his veto, we are
just where we were the day the Legis-
lature couvened seven weeks age, snd
the only persons benefited are the #ix-
and-sever - lollar-i- lay employees who
regularly **earn’ their stipend dur-
ing theese dilly-dallyivg and jockeying
for position by different Republican
factions. Thus in the exactly fifty
days since the Legislature bas coc-
vened, it has cost the State $70,000 to
put up tothe Governor a loaded in-
vestigation proposition which he will
surely veto,
Representative Edwin BR. Cox, late
candidate for speaker said : ‘If this
resolution goes through, it will sound
the death knell of the Republican
Organization. IVs a can of nitrc-zlye-
erine, which ifexploded will blow up
both sides and result in the election of
su independent or Democratic govern
or.”
This ia how the
gang p'ay polities :—
Representative Stites recited bow
his vote on the speakership fight was
being sought by both sides, Bepator
McNichol had a conversation with
him along these lines, ‘‘If you are
on the losing side in this fight you'll
get two pumpbandle committee se-
signments, and as for a seat you’)l be
luckly if they let you in the House at
all,” He adde, “bitterly,” looking
over my committee assignments and
at the loestion of my sest in thie cham-
ber, I can with great truth and sol-
emnity say '* A prophet has ariren iu
Iarael,
And this is how the Brumbaugh-
Vere crowd play politics :
Representative Stern: I know two
joba that two men got for their votes
in the speakership fight, They did
not get the jobs themselves, but in one
csse the man’s brother got the job,
and in the other case the man’s =on
got the job. Both of these men were
known to be allied with one of these
factions, but after the jobs showed up
they were allied with the other faction,
Both of these jobs were in the Ipsur-
ance Department,

grain were grezed by elk and deer, es-
pecially corn flelde, while does were
seen attackiog orchards, A dczen or

as Weary Willie) were returning
nome from the Yarnell sale, They
were in the vicinity of J. B., Wert’s
home when a few sleighs in the rear
excited nnd unbalanced the perves of
their old grey horse Max, which started
down the road away beyond the speed
limit and when he came to the short
curve in the road old Max became unp-
mapsgeable, A smooth glitter of ice
on the road caused the sleigh to over
turn and spill the occupants out and
oid Max went on down the state road
still faster with Weary Willle hanging
to the ribboue, being dragged some-
thing less than a mile and a half, and
finally at a spot near the old school
rouse he was able to bring old Max to
a standetill, The senior Zerby gather
ed himself up and looking around
after the smoke and mist had rolled
away found bhimeelf tengled up in a
woven wire fence somewhat twisted
but no staves broken and the ories of
Weary Willie soon brought the old
gentleman within speaking distance,
They #oon succeeded in getting blank.
ete, rober, whips, tle ropes and other
paraphernalia gathered again but not
before the school marm and sll the
students had rushed to the out side to
see what had gone wrong snd so the
scholars were discharged for the bal-
ance of the week, The old grey was
thought to be worn out but they have
decided to keep him another year on
parole.
Ben Gentzel was appointed stable
boss at the Rook View penitentiary.
