the Vare leaders will get busy en plans
for getting the rank and file regis

leaders, as thp Republican registration
obtained this fall, under the call of
the Pinchot candidacy, will be geed
for the nrimnrlps of next year, when
the highly important contest for the i
winning of the Republican mayoralty ,
nomination will be staged.
Future Leadership at Stake
While the Pinchot leadership in the .
Republican Party is agreed en for the
fall campaign, the question of future
Stnte leadership-control of the politics,
legislation and administration of the
Commonwealth, will really hinge upon
the results of the November election.
And tlieie is no doubt in the minds of
keen politicians that the Republicans
will carry the election.
The plai.i Issue will bp the wolee welee wolee
tien of two I'nited Stntes Senators, a
Governer, a Lieutenant Governer, a
Secretary of Internal Affairs, a mem
ber of Congress from each district in the
State, it State Senater in each even
numbered district nnd the full mem
bership. 20 of the State Heuse of
Representatives.
With these officers elected, the big
question will be: "Who is te be the
nnl lealer of the Stnte new that Pen
rose Is dead and Governer Snreul is
ubeiit te end his term of office? '
Discussing this a prominent and in- '
lluentlni pelitlial leader said: "Pin-
chet has the opportunity that no
ether man ever hnd in the affairs and
politics of Pennsylvania. He is net
one te whom fame and fortune nre '
stinngers. He apparently means te gel)
tilings done, net in the old-fashioned .
wav, by the brutal use of favor and
patronage, but by clearly stating his
plans. Pinchot can make organized
pnlilic opinion a gieat nnd overwhelm
ins force in this State, se that, instead
of worrying about the successor te the I
C'ameron-Qiiay-Penresp dynnsty, we I
can see the Using up of a new pewer1
In public affalin .itid in politics. Pin-
chet has the chance te stand for this
new idea."
Old Rosses Have Gone
Interest in the coming election, there
fore, is stirred up largely by the pos
sibilities which lie in the passing away
of the old .cailership. Women leaders
ai.d leters, who made themselves felt
In the nomination of Mr. Pinctiet ever
Attorney General Alter, are looking
nt the election from this point of iew.
Thev point out that just as they are
coming into real intliience in politics,
tliu State has passed through a remark
able and unprecedented phase of change
iiig leaders. Within ten months three
I'nited States Sennteis ftein Pennsyl
vania, each a power and an authority In
his own field, have died: Senators

In this connection it is pointed out,
