i..i.lt of the open break between the

f 0.n,'vr.i.iivi. Cnmra tteo. held n tho
'i f.r,iive mansion for two hoiira last
I "The meeting was extremely dramatic,
5 ..j tw.. was a "show-down" of hands
1 w every one present except Senator Vare.
P tuun the cards were alt on tho table,
H Snators Crow and McNirhol had clell
r .,.. i.u ilto Governor that they would
f, & not only hls locn!. opiLon b,nl' blli
r Hi l child labor bill as well. They favored
the Heynolds bill, tney saiu. senator
Vsre did not dellno his attitude.
f BHOMBAl'DH DEFINES POSITION.
The Governor carrlod the fight to Mc-
I vi,'hol and Crow. After tho Admlnlstra-
I (on workmen's compensation bills had
f teen brleny discussed, and the Sei.ate
. leaders had told the Governor that they
I favored the enactment of a workmen's
t .-mnotnatlon measure, although thov in-
, tend to amend tho Administration meas
ure frCCiy, wovcinur imiiiiimumkii iuiii-cil
brought up tho question of local option.
He called tho attention of McNIchol and
Crow to the fact that local option was
tn his personal platform, and salil that
because a local option pledge wasMu his
platform, ho thought the Republican
State leaders should assist him In pass
ing the bill.
Governor Brumbaugh told the members
cf the Conference Committee that he be
lieved that If the Itcpubllcnn organiza
tion leaders oppose local option now It
will hurt tho Republican party In 191G.
when a President and a successor to
United States Senator Oliver are to be
elected. He said that ho thought local
optloa would bo one of the big Issues In
that campaign.
Lieutenant Governor Frank McClaln
was the first to say anything contrary
to the Governor's views. "The people will
be so anxious to see the wheels of tho
mills whirring that tho present local op-
1 Hon wave will havo passed," ho said.
CROW RESENTS "COERCION."
Senator Crow, who Is chairman of tho
I Republican Stnto Committee, then out-
f lined tho attitude of the Republican Or-
janlzatlon toward local option, and took
exception to the Governor's "coercion" of
members of the House In his local option
campaign.
"The Republican Organization has not
Interfered with legislators In any way,"
he told Governor Brumbaugh. "We leavo
them to follow tho wishes of their con
itltuents. We believe that everybody elso
ought to adopt the same course."
Senator Crow added that If It could
be shown that the Republican Organiza
tion had sought to influence any member
of thn Telslature on tho local option
f question, then ho would vote for the bill
himself.
Senator McNIchol told tho Governor
that he had pledged himself to vote
gainst local option during the campaign,
and that he intends to stand by his pre
election promise, notwithstanding any po
rtion the Governor might take. Sen
ators Sproul and Snyder told Governor
Brumbaugh virtually the same thing.
The conference then turned to child
labor, and Governor Brumbaugh was In
formed that tho Republican Organization
leaders favor the Reynolds bill, intro
duced at the request of tho Pennsylvania
Congress of Mothers, the measure for
which tho manufacturers declared at tho
public hearing a week ago.
Senator Vare Is not expected to support
the Governor on the local option question,
but will probably continue to leave it to
the individual members of tho Legislature
themselves, to vote as their constituents
want them to vote.
Governor Brumbaugh, In his efforts to

of William Fllnn. of Pittsburgh, of the

though It hud been hoped that Colonel
Wellcr U. Stover would bo able to con
tinue in the race for the Republican
nomination for Mayor, he announced to
day that he was out of the fight. The
reason is that the company with which
Stover Is connected has large contracts
at Carnoy's Point for the du Ponts and
he Is busy there and could not give his
time to the campaign. This leaves James
F. Price and Dr. H. W. Rrlggs in the

said. "I have no doubt that tho Judg
ment of the people nt the general elec

suffrage.
"Tho moHt remnrknble phnse of tho

ing of women to tho Importance of the
question. Heretofoie, the majority have
been Inillffeicnt to the issuo lather thnn
directly opposed to the enfranchisement
of the sex. At prct,cnt, women in Penn
