HARRY BAKER He-elected State Secretary Stalwart Republicans of Pennsylva nia were called to the battle line to day to return the Keystone State to the Republican column in two stirring -peedies at the meeting for organ ization of the Republican state rum ■ litter.

Fisher, of In diana. the man who headed the legis lative commission which investigated the Capitol frauds, was elected as tem porary chairman arid W. Harry Baker as secretary. The lormer senator, who is a power in Western Pennsylvania politics, was heartily greeted when he took the platform and his congratu lations upon the fine turn out of stal wart Republicans started things going. He said he was glad to look into the faces of veterans who had weath ered many storms and were now ready to go out again in the cause of stal wart Republicanism.
