HARRISBURG NEWS LETTER
* {Continued from first page.)
are scores of Republican members of
the present Legislature that frankly
admit (privately and not for publica-
tion, of course), that they don’t ex-
pect to ba in the next House. They
gay that their districts are hopelessly
lost to their party, already. This is
true of all doubtful districte, probably.
What is more significant Republi-
cans themselves admit that it ia true
of more ihau one district heretofore
counted safely Republican. The thing
which most angers the Republicans
who are party men from principle snd
have no special interest in “plums”
is that the party is split thru no high-
er motive than a sordid scramble for
spoile, They likened both the Penrose-
McNichol and Brumbaugh-Vare lead-
ers to Kaiser—fighting without know-
ing what they're fighting for except
power,
Signs that an open rebellion may
materialize in the House before the
end of the deo-pothing session have
been seen on several occasions. When
Speaker Baldwin fires up

mirstion in the gang rule admipie-
tered ip years past by such speskers
as McClain and Walton and Msrshall,
Not so with Baldwin. His crudeness
in steam-rolling only makes moatters
worse,
The night last week when Baldwin
and the clerks jamm .d thru the bill
sing salaries of judges of Phiiad«}-
phis municipal court (an anealled-foq
Peurcee McNichol messure) almost
provoked ariot, Edwin K, Cox, lead-
er of the Varese, challenged the roll
call and got formidable backing.
Baldwin steered his steam-roller out

with ‘much haste but little dignity,
