HARRISBURG NEWS LATTER,
Jesrph F, Guffey Whi Win the Democratic
Nomination for Governor.
“ Pennsylvania Democrate—those
who have the Interests of the party at
heart and who are determined to
place the Keystone State in the Demo-
cratic column this fall—are not losing
any sleep worrying over the guberna-
torial candidacy of E, O. Bonoplwell,
of Pniiadelphis, ?’ sald Warren Var-
Dyle, eecretary of the Democratic
Mtate Committee in a statement lesue
yesterday,
“ Joseph F. Guflay, of Pittsburgh,
will win the Democratic nominatio
for Governor if he does not turn ¢
hand between pow and the primary
election. Bonnpiwell’s car didsey ¥
obtaining su, port only from » few die
gruntled snd disappointed office-geek
ets and from 8 elique of ** wet?’ theor-
iste, most of whom have Dames wit!
thie “made-ip-Germany mark
stamped sll over them. The strategy
of these * wet?” theorists involves the
kidosp ping of all the galoon-keep-
ers snd bartenders from the Republi
can party, registering them as Demo-
crats snd voting them for Bonniwell
on May 21,
“ Bonniwell’s announcement that
he would seek the gubernatorial nomi
nation wes not any more upexpeota
than the spnual advent of spring.
For several years past he has done
jittle else than run for one office or
auother. In fact the filing of his pa-
pers at the State CUspitol caused ae
mueh mirth as was arcused when
* Butch ’ MeDevitt deposited his bubp-
dle of signatures on the clerk’s desk.
“ Phough professing to be a Demo
orat he owes his election to the Muni-
cipal Court bench in the City of
Philadelphia to the Penrose-McNichol
orxanizatior. In 1916 he was defeat
ed for the Democratic nomioation for
United States Senate and in 1v17 wae
given another licking when a candi-
uate for Common Please Ccurt judge
in Philadelphia,
“ Four years sgo Bonniwell came in-
to the epotiight ss mansger of Michael
J. Ryau’s ubervatorisl campasigo.
At thst time the Democratin party ip
Penupsylvania was badly disorganised
sod Ryan was able to secure the sup-
port of many of the big state Demo-
cratic leaders including Charles P.
Donnelley, of Philadelphia, and Will
jam J. Brennen, of Pittsburgh,
“ With the backing of the powerful
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh organizs-
tiors ard ip spite ¢f bis own excep-
tional abilities as a campsiguer and
orator Ryan was defeated by Vanoe
McCormick by over 20,000 votes,
“This year Donnelly and Brznpen
are bo'h supporting Mr. Goufley and
he will rective, in addition, the fulles!
gid from the McCormick-Palmer fol-
lowing in Penusylvanis.
“ Bonulwell’s candsdacy arose ou’
of the panic that hrs gripped the lig-
uor forces since a Democratic Cor
grees voted to submit the Probibitior
smendment to the Btete legislatures,
In a feebl effort to stem the tide for
Prohibiticn that eet in %hen a Demo-
cratic president affixed bis sigonatur
to the Sheppard bill they ‘induced
Mr. Bopriwell to run for governpor.
And so that degree of his * wetness’
would never be questioned toey pro-
vided him with a ssloon-keeper candi-
date for lisuterspt governor in the
person of Howard O, Holstein, of Her
risburg. When one considers men of
this celibre and compares thgm will
the six candidates for state cflice, a!
Jarge, who bave sssociated themaslves
with the eandidsey of Joseph F. Gufl-
ey, the weakness of the Bonniwell
cause is readl]y spparent.
