Mr. Rttcr let it be distinctly known that he was conducting a campaign for Republicans within the Republican Party, wne demand the selection of representative, clean-handed cnjndldntes for office, and therefore he cannot de otherwlse than attack existing condi cendi condi teons: "The Republican Party 5s due for a house-cleaning," said Mr. Riter, "and it is time that organization leaders, and se-called leaders, appreciate the fact. "The Senater Crew incidentals only one phase of the situation. "The men whose names have been suggested for the office of Governer, with one exception, nre being made the victims of one of the mesti remarkable pieces of political impropriety that has been seen in Pcnnsylvnnla for years, continued Chairman Riter. Is Beldleman's Spenser "I refer te the political activity of W.

"It is a recognized fact among pol iticians everywhere that Mr. Baker is the power behind the Beidleman candi dacy nnd thnt he proposes te force him upon the party as its candidate if it can be done by any menns In his power. "The Republican State Committee, of which Secretary Baker Is the nctlng head in the nbsence of Senater Crew, was net ergnnized te select candidates for the Republican voters of the State' continued Chairman Riter. "Its functions nre te conduct the campaign, mnnngc the details nnd in general operate the party machinery once the candidate or candidates nre nominated, se as te secure their elec tion. "Secretary Baker i exceeding In every way the legitimate functions of his ofhYe when he uses his position nnd prestige in un attempt te compel the nomination of his candldnte, Mr, Beidleman. As enp of the present dis pensers of Federal pntrenage, he is taking an unfair advantage of every prospective candidate for Governer, except his personal choice, Mr. Beidle man. Case Called Unique "I de net recall any similar case in my experience in Pennsylvania politics, wlicie an official of the State Committee presumed te force a candi date upon the voters of the party.
