HARRISBURG NEWS LETTER, ( Continued from first page ) the Bate and its chief city, Philadel- phis, bealdes which be has been living withcu! any federal patronsge now going on five years. The Governor has enough big offices to fill, not counting a score or two of smaller places, to turn over helf a doz en counties, if he plays the kind of politics his advisers learned when they were apprentices, The death al- most a year ago of Robert K. Young, | after he bad been appointed a Public Bervice Commissioner and the reeig- pation of William A. Magee from the commission last August, has left two $10,000 positions open. The recent death of Dr. Bamuel G, Dixon has left the Health Department without an off'« cial head, The resignation of EB. | Dorsett, of Mansfield, Tioga county, as head of the buresu of markets of the HBtate Department of Agriculture, given the governor another place fill, The Goverpor has pot intimated | when he will fill these places. They | may not be filled until after the pri-| marier, In which event it might be possible for a doz*n or more political bandymen to devo'e their entire ener- gles to downing the Penrose mechine In their respective counties, hae | While the Penrose candidate for Governor, Btate Bepalor William C,! Sproul, Ie sparring for time, tryiog to ascertain if it is good politica to come out for the ratifieation of the federal prohibition smendment or to tbat the only fair treatment of the lig-| wor question is to put it up to the volt. ers in November instead of their rep- resentatives next January, the judeci- sion of Bproul has allowed the Repub- lican situation to grow worse ipstead of better and the factional fight io wax warmer, Meanwhile the Demc- crats of Pennsylvania have been play- ing the wisest kind of polities known in the Btate in years. United snd with a record that is known tecause of ite recent fights, the Democracy of the Biate has been watchiog from the side lines while the two Republican factions have been ecrapping. Wilh no elated candidate and not even » candidate who hae formelly snnounc- ed bime-lf, the Demacrats stand ready to back the man who shows Lhe greal- est strength this year, snd esger to take advantages of the bickerirg of thelr rivals in politics, josie The prohibition question hss been brought into the gubernatorial iseue and will be the principal! issue in the legislative ighte, but it is possible that even with a solid House for the federsl amendment, the full force of Penpeyl- vanis's rentiments on the question oswnnot be fell until entire Dew Biale Benate is elected. There will be 23 of the 50 old Btale Fenstors who will come beck, the number still hsv- ing two years of their terms to serve. Many of these men, it is true, come from dry districts, but wany cf them also have always been wel and have so voted. Prohibition or any of its silied jestues was not an lesue in their elec tione, and they do not have to make any pledges to any oue and do not, if precedent is followed, have to adhere to any parly or gubernatorial pledges.
