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

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.

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

"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

feamuel M. 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
