Baker Is Named State Chairman GENEIIAL ASIIER MINER Here of the Argonne, who was backed by Plnchet for the State Committee chairmanship, but was defeated by W. Harry Uaker, the Combine's candidate Continued from Te Br One hands with Mrs. Warburton and tTatpcd Mr. Baker's hand. "The enair takes pleasure in intro ducing Mr. Plnchet," said Mrs. War War burten, addressing the committee mem bers. A srent burst of applause greeted the nominee. Congressman Vare was noted clapping lustily. The nominee leaned en the table and Bulled as lie begnn his nddress. Plnchet Speaks for Harmony Mr. Plnchet saiJ : "Friend", it's enough te make any body happy such n greeting, and I thank you most heartily and gladly. The one thing eleiest te my heart new and which has been ever since the nom ination is that we may have a united, tvlgoreus and enthusiastic party this fall and then turn in and give te the Democrats exactly what's coming te them; we want te win net only n vic tory but such n smashing victory as will make it perfectly clear that Penn sylvania Is a Republican State through and through," Mr. Pinchot walked away from the table, swung his arms in a wide ges ture and then, leaning ever the table, continued : "I have been having a perfectlv beautiful time. There never was such a campaign as this nnd I've enjoyed 'very minute of it before the primary and since the primary. It was sniil hv great mas whom we all knew 'There is no such sport as aggressive fighting for the thing thnt is right.' Assuming n mero serious note, the nominee then plunged into the question of the State chairmanship. "Yeu may have been told," he said. "that my recommendation of General Miner for State Chairman wbr net se riously Intended. I never meant any thing morn seriously, or with mere lasting purpose ln my life. I have no ether recommendation or suggestion te 'make except thnt I hope you will select las' Wee chairman the woman who is the foremost woman Republican leader in the United States Mrs. Barclay II. Warburton. Won't Asms State Workers "Anether thing. During the primary campaign I mid that I was opposed te 'the assessment of officeholders. I nm opposed te the assessment of officehold ers and durine the camnnlcn I added that, no money would be used for my meat eitner in the primary or In the lectien which was get from office- Mmm That t11eA mrtln tn tlm !'BMlm la !! hlnitfnv tnriav ' ,.-.. ........... -..,,. iMr,.n the direction PMMS ., of the and emphatically. Mr. Plnchet went en : "Either the State Committee must nbanden the assessment of officeholders or I will be compelled te run my own campaign separate and apart from the State Committee." An outburst of cheers and hand clapping nnd cries of "You're right" greeted the ultimatum. "I want my pledges carried out with the assistance of the Republican State organization," he resumed. "If I can't have It I'll be exceedingly sorry. In any event it will be my duty te make a vigorous nnd determined effort te keep faith with the Republican voters of Pennsylvania and the people of the State in n vigorous four-year-long ef fort te put that program ever." Prolonged applause followed the nom inee's nddress. Mr. Pinchot smiled nnd bowed his thnnks. Mr. Wnrburten then Introduced Majer Reed. Reed Alse for "Harmony" "It is merely a sign of life," began Majer Reed, "thnt we should hnvt strong views and assert them. I Intend te abide by the decision of the members of the Republican State Committee. I don't consider myself bigger than the cemmmlttee or the Republican Party." Tumultuous cheering Interrupted the Senntnrlal nominee's address. It con tinued for nearly n minute. "Let us today unite ngnlnst our com mon enemies, the Demecrnts. Senater Pepper nnd I have united In recom mending Mr. Baker and Mrs. Warbur ton, because they btnnd for all the fac tions of the party which must be united for the November fight." Majer Reed touched upon the methods of finnncing n campaign. He snld there were three ways of raising the money, the first of which Is through very large contributions from these candidates who are interested most. "Unfortunately, I cannot be one et these," lie remarked, "nnd I de net believe it should be limited te these who cun make very large contributions, "The second method Is by getting contributions from n few very ruch men. I will net stand for that. I don't in tend te go te Washington and have some ricli man in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh tell me hew te vote. "The third method is by assessment , in ouu'cneiuers. l agree with Mr. Plnchet that assessments are un speakable. I think, however, thnt ! public officers should be permitted te ceninnuie money if they want te." Pepper Cordially Greeted When Majer Reed concluded, Senater Pepper was Introduced and was ap plauded heartily. "Our great objective Is victory In November," Senater Pepper asserted. "We mean te win net only for the pleasure of winning but a victory of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania would be n great stimulus te the Re publican Party throughout the Natien. "I hnve found satisfaction nnd hap piness from my relations with Majer Reed and I believe that nugurs well for the future service we can render. "At nn organization meeting when feeling is tense there exists a danger te focus en the mechanism and net en the product of that mechanism. It would be foolish te ignore the existence In the party of two distinct tvpes. When our mechanism is complete cverv trace and difference and partisanship' must dis appear. "The two distinct elements nre these who rely en organization nnd these en contagious enthusiasm te reach high ideals." The speaker continued that the or ganization group must have ideals and that the idealistic members of the party must liave organization. He added tha't the question tedav Is where the major cniphnsis should be placed. "I am certain that right new my dear friend Olfferd Plnchet believes what I am saying. As Majer Reed has said, we agreed en Baker nnd Mrs. Warburton U'cause they represented these two (lis. met types. "In regard te the financial question we must remember that we are building net only for 1021', but for many future campaigns. When we have a committee elected from the body of the people I think it is safe te refer the question of finances te that committee." Mr. Woodward waH the next speaker. He joined Senater Pepper and Mejer Reed In advocating Baker for chairman. The next business was the reading by Mr. Baker, as secretary, of the commit tee election results in all the counties of the State. Mrs. Warburton said nominations for State chairman then were In order. Judge Mnust was recognized by the chair. Miner Put in Nomination Judgt MtMautVlMat Mraaatlir rrJ1.KM.l'lf !" ? t IntflYnW " In nominetlns General Miner Maust suld : "We have recently emerged from as strenuous a contest as has ever been waged within the Republican Party of Pennsylvania for the nomination of a cnndldate for Governer. "Happily, the result has been ac cepted with geed grace and feeling and without any serious dissatisfaction or rupture in the party. "The result, I take it, was likewise a most emphatic pretest against the use by the organization or committee of the party machinery te promote and bring about the nomination of any particular candidate, The legitimate function of part organization is te secure the locttea of the party candidate when laa aajnlaatait a ad nnf tn hrJnv kmi r ' .. Im m the nomination of a favorite of any fac tion in the party. "With these Issues determined in fa vor of the rank and file of the party nnd n desire for an enen and free pri mary, It In believed by these who sup ported Mr. Plnchet that he and his supporters should have the right te suggest the name of the nnin who shall be at the head of the campaign against the Democratic Party. "I take it thnt whatever is done here today should be such as can be ratified and wholly concurred In by nil who par ticipate In these proceedings nnd 07 these nt home whom wc represent. There Is no doubt of the zeal, enthu siasm and unity of the party In its determination te have the governmental uffnlrs of the State of Pcnnsylvnnli remain In the control of the Republican Party. Recalls Miner's Heroism "Speaking for these who supported Olfferd Plnchet in the recent primary, I desire te place in nnu'lnotlen for chairman of the Republican Stnte Com mittee one of Pennsylvania's bravest and truest sons, a life-long and ardent Republican, a former chairman of the Republican County Committee of Lu zerne County, nn intrepid, brave and distinguished soldier, who lest a leg in me urcnt worm war rer tne preserva tion of our cllvlllzntien and the institu tions of civil nnd religious liberty; a man known and respected throughout Pennsylvania, and one who is well fitted te lead a united and harmonious party te victory this coming fall. "I have the honor and I take plesaure te place In nomination General Asher Miner, of Luzerne County, distinguished citizen nnd soldier, true nnd tried Re publican." When Judge Bfaust had concluded Mrs. Wnrburten asked If there were any ether nominations. Lieutenant Governer Beldleman left his scat at the side of the ballroom. A demonstration broke forth from the Combine committee members as Beldle man walked along a 6ldc aisle te the platform. "Baker! Baker! Baker!" one group shouted with the snap of n college yell lender. Apparently carefully rehearsed, the shout was taken up in another part of the room nnd men shouted until the veins steed out ln their necks. Beldleman Lets Off Steam Baker strode up and down the plat form nervously as Beldleman nrennrcd for his effort. The Lieutenant Governer nt the start pulled out all the tremolo steps nt his command, giving his speech nn Algercsque flavor. "Men nnd women everywhere." he snid, "are bound te say that Harry Baker was never known te de n dis honorable thing or commit a dishonora ble act. Harry Baker is one who knows nothing but honor nnd honesty. Even these who oppose him for chairman say thev would like te have hlra as secre tary of the State Committee. "His personal reputation has been attacked. Wc would rather have his reputation than have the chairmanship. We would rathe.- that his wife and chil dren would continue te knew him ns n proud father. This attack was well known ns early ns last February. We knew there was nothing ln it. This morning I made it my business te go te the office of United States District Attorney Celes nnd seek hlra out. This is u lint he told me : " 'I will net comment en the re ported letter te Mr. Bnkcr. I will say, however, ns far ns this office Is con cerned we have no Information con necting Mr. Baker with nnv liouer ense or any ether case whatsoever.' "That Is the nbselute truth," Beldle man went en. He then nominated Baker as u man who would stand for har meny In the party and a square deal for all. The committee met in an atmosphere of excitement suggestive of the old-time State conventions. An oil painting of the late Senater Knox was displayed en the platform. Mrs. Pinchot sat in the second scat from the aisle. Acress the aisle, in the front row. was Ceneressmnn Vnr sitting ns proxy for Jeseph L. Bald win, of the Twenty-sixth Ward. Sen Sen nter Vere, although net a State com mitteeman, sat beside his brother. Crowds ,1am Galleries The galleries overlooking the ballroom fleer were decorated with American flags. Hundreds of spectators stretched forward te wntch the battle ever the State Chalrmanpshlp, the most impor tant office at Issue. Dozens of conferences had preceded the meeting. Many of them were held In nooks of the hotel lobby. Mrs. Plnchet, Inspiring ln her earnestness. steed near the elevators and talked with many of the women. A half hour before the meetlne was called te order Senater Vare, Congress man Vare, Senater Max G.

Among them were Mrs. Harriet L. Hubbs, executive secretary of the league, and Mrs. L. L. Smith, vice chairman.

Felten, president of the Chicago Great Western and chairman of the Western Committee en Public Relations of the Association of Hall way Executives, who yesterday asserted that a rail strike because of recent wage cut decisions was unjustified, de clared that disproportionate reductions in freight rates and wages of railroad empleyes, coupled with a mass of bur densome legislation, are fast driving the country toward a condition in which its production and Industry will be re stricted or strangled by inadequate rail way systems. But for the burden of traffic lifted by the coal strike the railroads et the Na Na teon would be taxed te the limit in meeting the requirements of Industry and commerce, he said.

"It Is my theory that If we're finally successful in our sulfa we will recover the full amount Involved and be able te pay creditors dollar for dollar.
