Attorney General Alter Prefers
"Rail Bird" Rele Senate.
Situation All Gummed
u
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
..Pittsburgh, March 23. Unless the
Republican State leaders set together
rid' agree upon 'a compromise candidate
for Governer Jehn A. McSparran,
Democrat, will stand a first-claw
chance of being the Governer of Penn
sylvania. The situation is rapidly drifting te
ward a modified chaos. Everybody is
wilting for somebody else te de semc-
think: at the same time the supposed
leaders are running around in circles,
In Philadelphia as well as In Pitts
burgh. it is interesting te knew that this
question of a compromise candidate is
isnitnlng a new impertance: one hears
mere about It than at any time since
the present ruckus started.
The paramount problem, however, is
te get, a candidate, a man eupen whom
til the factions can unite, an in
dividual who would dignify the position
ltd dispense fair play all around.
Attorney General Alter has been stiff-
IMttd te me twice since reaching
Pittsburgh. Anether name tentatively
pat forth is Dr. Edgar Fahs Smith,
former provost of the University of
Pennsylvania. ' t
Alter .Opposed te Use of Name
, Attorney .General Alter,,bas been.ap
proache'd.en the subject"; he is, frankly,
.opposed te, the use of bis name. Te all
inquiries en the subject he submits
that he does net, wish te be considered
in that connection. ' -
..In the first place, he says, he cannot
ilferd it.
f He cannot sacrifice his splendid pros
pacts at, the bar for four years as Gov Gov
ereor; besides,' he wants te get out of
politics.
The Attorney General is net a wealthy
an, but be is the possessor of that ad
mirable asset os a lawyer, a legal and
judicial, mind.
"It Geerge Alter should be decided
nu i compromise, be would have
te be forced te accept the nomination,"
slid one of the potential factors In
Allegheny politics.
The use of the name of Or. Smith
Is a new and startling suggestion. It
li a radical departure from the usual
line of such suggestions.
Dr. Smith is and is net a politician.
Hi is a diplomat rather than a poll
tldin. His successful career as head
it one of the greatest universities In the
country has contributed te his knewl
edge et men and the way or politi
cians. In mental caulnmcnt, character, wide
experience of the world and grasp of
great problems of management he is
remaps better equipped tnan any can
didate in the field.
McSparran Formidable
There has been some disposition te
pooh-pooh the Idea of danger from Me
Bparran's candidacy. But when the
cold facts are marshaled before the
doubting Themases there is a reluctant
((Quiescence In the fact that renl dan
ger te a purty triumph- this fall looms.
Already Mr. McSparran nas started
jut te put the Republicans en the de
fensive. He is talking en subjects In
Which the mihlle la Interests H Un't
lntterlng up his stump speeches with
wituaea about "efficiency and re-
rra" after the manner of Candidate
Idleman. .
Hi has attacked Mr. Snvder's man-
(foment. He rails it mismanagement
et the State's, finances, and has already
tot that gentleman explaining, and yet
nam t begun properly te stir the
new en Capitel Hill.

Fess Speaks for Bill
Urging adoption of the resolution.
.Representative Fess, of Ohie, said that

soldiers' bonus bill because it did net
provide for en equitable distribution
et benefit and would have entailed tee
heavy a drain en the Treasury at that
time. He announced that he would
vote "without hesitation" for the pend
ing bill, however, because the cash pro pre
vision had been emitted and benefits ar
ranged se there would net be tee heavy
a burden placed en the Treasury for
three years. He reminded his Repub
lican colleagues that the Republican
party wns pledged te passage of an ad
justed compensation measure.
Rcnresentative' Peu. of North Care

resolution, declared that the bonus bill
should net have been mule a partisan
question, that it was "beneath the dig

it a party issue
"I regret exceedlnjly that the meas

way," said he. "It leeks ns though
somebody drew, this measure who really

Mr. Peu said the bill was net what he
