Vaunted Ability te Deliver 150,
000 Majority for Attorney Gen
eral Proved Idle Beast
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN"
The nomination of GIfferd Plnchet
sr the Republican candidate for Gov Gov
ereor is the most dramatic nnd far
reaching event In Pennsylvania politi peliti
cal history in four decades.
Te find Its parallel ene must revert
te the campaign of forty years age
when Rebert B. Pattlsen defeated for
Governer the war-crippled Republican
standard-bearer. General James A.
Beaver, of Centre County.
General Bearer, like Attorney Gen
eral Geerge E. Alter, was a hand
picked candidate of the bosses.
Tuesday's result registered net only
triumph for the unbessed und un un
eought Republican voter, but it swept
Inte magnificent ruin the Penrose ma
rliinr as well as its enemies who hnd
fought it for years the Varcs, of Phil
adelphia. Their vaunted ability te deliver 150.
000 majority te the Republican machine
organization the contractors' Combine
-. net only au idle beast, but it
ha, deliberately mendacious and mis
leading. Tuesday's results In Pennsylvania
arc of far mere significance than would
he the defeat of Tammany in New
Yerk.
It is n companion piece, in Republi
can revolutionary politics, te the de
feat of Senater New by former Sena Sena
eor Ilcvcrldge in Indiana.
Its ultimate importance will net be
le.tt upon Republicans, the new woman
voter particularly.
It has taught them thnt they the
people are paramount when they de
tide te assert their power.
The hlstei.v of this popular upris
ing against petty boss domination, this
pretest against the prostitution of pub
lie trust, Is it story seen told.
There were preliminary indic.itiens
of riictiirul weakness in the machine
nrginbatlnn long befere Senater Pen
re's death.
Uifaster was foreshadowed in the
violent outbreak of the Crew-Grundy
feud, as told exclusively b. the Uvj:

public mind by Mr. Snyder'n subse

his friend "fiddle" Bcidleman ?10,00()
Instead of $5000.

Urindle'.s tardv conviction nnd sen
riien te prison for two ears was fo fe fo
leueil by the discovery that the amount
et the defalcation had net been made
eoed, or recovered, into the State
Tieasury.
Meantime the most fearless official
who had ever occupied responsible posi

bamuel S. Lewis, who had smashed
precedent and shattered tradition by the
declaration that his books were always
open te the public, had uncovered u
scries of fails in the Tieasury Depart

Hirprised indignation.
Treasury Accounts Juggled

of fermeri State Treasurer Harmen M.

pettv bosses who after Senater Penrose's
denth sought te control the nnrn. re

of years hed been juggled in the most
remarkable maimer.
Discrepancies between the swnm
Matcraentu of favored banks holding
otate deposits and the sworn state
ments of Treasurer Kepheri, amounting
te as high as $400,000. were uncovered.
bucccsshc revelations of similar na

familiar and feeble excuse that "the

"There is nothing te it." he said.
"Pinehet will easily defeat McSpar

that Organization men will have no dif

Senater Vare had nothing te sny this
morning en the situation. He nnd his
friends feel that they did the best they
could for Alter, and that they hnvc no
regrets for the part they took. In
some quarters the silence of Senater
Vnre has raised the quest ten, "Will

Plnchet Plans Fishing Trip
Sir. Pinehet, who is prepnrlng te go
home this afternoon te Mllferd. Plke
County, for n few dn.vs fishing, was
up early and had n light breakfast,
chatting while he nte. He found tele
grams of congratulations piled high be
side his plate, nnd wns Interrupted
even during Ills breakfast te answer
telephone calls.
He discussed with amusement the
"boom" started for him In New Yerk
for President, nnd the wild enthusiasm
ever the "progressive era" started by
his successful candidacy hi Pennsyl
vania. He disclaimed any mounting
political ambitions.
"Throughout the campaign." said
Mr. Plnchet. "I hnve said that T want
te be Governer of Pennsylvania, but
have no political ambition of any kind
beyond thnt. When I am through with
the governorship, I want te co fish
ing. That is just ns true after last
Tuesdnv as It was In-fore.
"I already have received assurances
from all ever Pennsylvania that mnke
It certain the Republican party will
be solidly united next fall. It will
net enl elect Its State ticket nvet
whclmlngly, but will send te Wnsliing Wnsliing
ten a solid delegation te support Pres
ident Harding in dealing with difficult
and vastly important problems he tins
liefere him, both nt home and abroad.
"The Democrats, naturally enough,
are attempting te make political capital
cut of Tiicrdu.v's victory. There is
nothing in that."
Mr. Pinehet diseased the way lie
hud taken the election.
"Profoundly Thankful"
"When wf reached headquarters
Tuesday night." he said, "the returns
seemed te indicate thnt we were beaten.
Lnter in the night they seemed te in
dicate thn we hed wen. The man who
takes geed fortune nnd ill fortune
equally with steudiness is net apt te
lie seriously hurt by either. I am pro pre pro
feundlv thankful that later returns
showed beyond question that we had
wen.
"The thing te de new is te get ready
for the campaign next fall for the con
structive work which is the big thing
ahead."
Experienced politicians say that while
the Vare men might net be awfully

Hoever Wins Support for Plan
te Keep Down Prices
During Strike
TO NAME CLEARING BOARD
By the Associated Press.
Washington, May 18. Secretary
Hoever asked nnd obtained today ap
proval of the leading operators of non
union bituminous coal fields for a Gov
ernment plan of "getting the coal in
dustry by veluntnry action te put a
step point en Increase of coal prices."
during the period of the existing coal
strike.
The tilnn. which was nnnreved bv
about forty operators who met with
Mr. Hoever, calls for the creation of n
committee of operators with Govern
ment nnd consumers representatives
servlne en it in each district where
coal Is being produced, through which
all orders for coal will be cleared. A
similar genernl committee will he set
un in Washington.
Mr. Hoever nssiired the coal opera
tors he had Attorney General Daugh
erty's opinion thnt such "co-operative
action te reduce and held down price
In the public interest" would be legnl.
The conference was called by Mr.
Hoever after some increases in mouth-of-mine
prices had come te the atten
tion of the Administration nnd Presi
dent Helding iind let it be known that
steps would be taken te meet the sit
uation. Mr. Hoever has expressed the view
that the rise In prices from nbeut
$" a ten nt the mines te $.e..fi0 and $1
li ten for coal, ns reported in some
districts, was unnecessary and due
mostly te competitive bidding nnd lo
cal conditions which could be remedied
by the co-epcratlon. of the mine oper
