have far-reaching effects en the Repub
lican State organization nnd the guber
natorial ticket for next year, when
William A. Mngee Is sworn In next
Monday as the new Mayer of Pitts
burgh.
According te all reports :rem me.
n'.n rml nf the State, the Magee
Inaugurnl will provide the occasion for
" ..!. .(thnrlnir nf Western Pennsyl-
ranla politicians Interested both in the
Ubernaterlal nnd United States senn-
Iterlnl nominations. And nlse, accord
ing te theFC who Knew, .ungcu lirupusun
. s. n rpnl tielltleal fncter. with n hnnd
? the State orcanlzntlen and in the
shaping of the State ticket.
Airentlv there 'is talk of n Vnre-Magcc
State organization which would at
tempt te nnine tnc state ticKet, irre
spective of Senater Penrose or Governer
Sproul talk even of n stralghteut foe fee
Mnnnl fiirht for the State nominations
between the new combination In State
politics en one side and benater rcn

hide he will take,
Sce Chance te Dictate State
Vurn lenders Insist that there is real
fcubstance te the new power in State
fcelltlcs. They soy tihat a State organ -
ration built around 'the iicpueiican or er or
mnlzatlens In Phlladclnhla. Pittsburgh
Snd Allegheny County, Lancaster and
khuvlklll (Aunties could command tue
ittiatlen and virtually dictate the ticket.
I Benator Vare is the Philadelphia rep
resentative of the new movement with.
iftlaTer Magee looking nfter things In the
yWcstcrn part of the State. Congressman
iGrlcst, the canny politician of ,Lnn-
caster County and htate Treasurer
Snyder, the lender or. Schuylkill, com
plete the big four. Gricst and Vuru
leaders have already reached an agree
ment, it is asserted, while the Vare-
Magee entente is well-known.
One point decided upon by the new
combination, se-called, is that it will
net consider Lieutenant-Governer
Deldleman for Governer, "for n
minute."
"None of the old timers linve a
chance," say the Varo-Mngee men re
ferring particularly te Hcldlemnn and
State Treasurer Snyder. Recently
ISeldlemnn has attempted te confer with
Vare leaders in a hurried effort te patch
up his fences but was told te wait until
Jhlter the first of the year.
t Even Senater Crew, the State chair
frnan, who says he is a candidate for the
Jfull term te succeed the Inte Sonater
Cnex, bas also been advised by the
vare-Masee nconle that "it will be
i.lrae enough te discuss the State tlcket
titer the first of the year."
