Wouldn't that be a profound issue en which te deter mine a governorship ?" he remarked, and added that Pinchot has no sense of humor. But if Alter tHinks the contractor issue is a joke he has no sense of the gravity of the situation. t rIf CL2ft?;ter Vare' of Philadelphia, and Contractor Leslie, of Pittsburgh, were opposed te him he would have no chance for the nomination. Even his ewrt friends are saying that the-Vare and Leslie vote of Philadelphia and f lttsburgh will be big enough te offset the vote for Pinchot in the rest of the State. Pinchot would have called Alter's attention te this tact and would have challenged him te deny its significance it Alter had been willing te meet him en the same platform. Every one who has get out of the kindergarten in poli tics knows that if Alter is nominated Vare and Leslie will demand that he recognize them as his creator and insist that hf de their bidding. Then we shall have a contractor owned Governer. And this is no joking matter.

"Let It en clearly undersetoed, how ever, thnt I have no complaints te make of any criticism that has been made of me or of my part in the State Admin istration. Criticism is te be expected, especially by the incumbent of an execu tive position, nnd it is necessary in our public life and politics. I am thoroughly proud of the achievements of our State Government; we have no apologies te make and simply seek te set some things right which have been Incorrectly repre sented. Dodges Treasury Scandal Blame "Fer some time past, much effort has been made te turn, into political capital the alleged mlx-un ln the ac counting In the State Treasurer's office, and the 'Administration' is blamed with the conditions there, although the Gov Gov ereor and the office appointed by him' have no" authority or control ever the 'IVeasurcr. "It must be remembered that the State Treasurer Is elected by the people nnd commissioned by them in just the same way as Is the Governer himself, and has his own constitutional rights, powers and duties entirely Independent of the Governer nnd of the Lieutenant Governer, the Auditor General and the Secretary of Internal Affairs, who are likewise elected by nnd responsible te the people directly. "Criticism of the State Treasurer, therefore, Is net an honest campaign argument against the Attorney General any mere thnn it Is against the Com missioner of Forestry, or the Banking Commissioner, or the Secretary of Ag riculture, or any ether member of the Governer's Cabinet. "Where there are any derelictions, however, in the Treasury or elsewhere ln the State Government, where the State's intciests or the rights of the peeple nie involved, the Attorney Gen eral, as the law officer of the Common wealth, has a very definite duty te per form, -and Mr. Alter has promptly and effectively met the issue by appointing n skilled lawyer and busines man, of an opposite political faith, ill) elutclv- dis associated with aunir- n' llurrlsburg, te act iu the matter ami s.-e thnt fun justice is done.
