Leaders of Four Political Parties Meet
HARRISBURG IffSfiill TELEGRAPH
LXXXIII — No. 131
Republicans Cheer Two
Stirring Speeches Calling
Them to Line of Battle
State Chairman William E.
Crow and Secretary W.
Harry Baker Re-elected
For Coming Year
PLATFORM WILL BE
ADOPTED JULY 15
Meeting to Be Held in Phila
delphia ; Session Marked
by Enthusiasm
W. 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. It was the first meeting of
the committee after a state-wide pri
mary and men were here from every
• • tinty, although it had been an
nounced that because of the short time
■lapsing since the nomination of the
candidates and election of state com
n'itteiMii"n that the adoption of the
party's declaration of principles in the
coming campaign would be deferred
until a later date. The Republican
ba'ders of the state, however, came
here to show that they were keenly
interested in everv move and heartily
applauded every reference to the coin
ing struggle.
State Chairman William K. ('row. of
Vniontovn. was re-elected after the
committee had been enthused to re
peated cheering by a speech by
ex-Congressman Josiah I). Hicks and
then the committee, after providing
for a committee of eleven to meet
with the state chairman and the state
candidates, adjourned to meet in
I-fsiladelphia on July 15.
For a meeting which, it was ex
pected, would be purely formal the
session was one of the liveliest held in
a long, long time. Men who have not
been active in politics turned up and
there were few proxies. The whole
roll was called, the State officials hav
ing been able to certify to the election
of about four-fifths and the remaining
names being supplied by chairmen.
Many of the old-timers responded to
their names and there was a craning
of necks as names were called.
Ex-Senator John S. 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.
Failure of Theorists
Mr. Hicks was then recognized and
nominated Chairman Crow for an
other term in a speech that fairly
snapped, and was .stopped time and

tion of the earnest men who met here
to submerge all differences for the
good of the party generally and the

conspicuous by reason of the under
current of bitterness and division
which worried the Democratic bosses.
There was little effort made to hide
the serious differences which are cer
tain to defeat the plans of the reor
ganization clique that took over the
Democracy a year or two ago.
Wherever two or more Republicans

outcome of the campaign and reported

Directors Friday to Consider Com
mittee Recommendation to In
clude Course This Fall
Cooking, baking, sewing and all the]
other housekeeping duties that are in- [
eluded in the home economies course
for the girls of the Central high school
will be taught this Fall If the School
Board at its meeting Friday evening
adopts the recommendations of the
special committee.
And the study of domestic science
at the high school will not be without
its thrills and frills. The cooking,
baking and similar lessons will fur
nish the thrills; the frills will be
supplied in the shape of dainty lacy
caps and aprons for the girl students.
For these, according to President
Harry A. Boyer, of the board, are to
be recommended for the fair students
and will likely be furnished by the
School Board.
Dr. Yates, it is understood, may sub
mit a minority report opposing the
institution of the course this Fall. The
committee recently visited the Read
ing high school and got a lot of in
formation there.
That there will be a scrappy session
at Friday evening' board meeting is
pretty generally predicted. The rec
ommendation to establish domestic
science in the high school this year
will likely start something and some
more fun is due to fly when the special
committee to investigate a better
method of handling and collecting the
school funds reports.
Directors Werner, Yates and Ken
nedy constitute this committee. In
addition to reporting on the tax collec
tion method it is understood that refer
ence will be made to the question of
George W. Mcllhenny's fitness to serve
as school treasurer. Mr. Mcllhenny
had been charged with serving as a
book and furniture agent while acting
as treasurer. This, it is said, cannot
be substantiated by the committee.
