Bailie Continues in Russian Poland Without Decisive Advantage to Either Side HARRISBURG ifSlili TELEGRAPH LXXXIII— No. 298 HUGH WILL BE JUST 01 OF US Governor-elect Taking a Big Inter est in His Forthcoming Resi dence in This City THE INAUGURAL PLANS Senator Beidleman Will Probably Be the Man in Charge of the Big Ceremonies According to what Dr. Martin G.j Brumbaugh. the Governor-elect, has' told men active in politics and con- ■ nected with the State government, hej is looking forward to the time when he will take up his residence in llar risburg. For the new Governor plans to l>e one of the Harrisburg people, just as in his service as superintendent; of the schools of Philadelphia he was j of Philadelphia. Dr. Brumbaugh is no stranger to ! Harrisburg. He has been coining here to attend meetings, legislative hear ings and all sorts of gatherings for years. He has made speeches in half a dozen places in this city and he has driven all around town and through the county and he knows the lay of the land and. from all accounts, has a pretty fair line on Harrisburg, its peo ple and its activities. Apparently, he seems satisfied with it, because he says he is going to be a Harrisburger while he is here. When the Governor-elect takes up the burdens of preparing for his new "rtice on New Year's day he will also j give some attention to the details of I his inauguration. It is probable than lie will select the chief marshal and' have more or less to say about the | features of the program. Likewise, j he will name one of his own faith toi offer the prayer on the west front ot" the t'apitol on the day he takes his oath of ottlce. Senator Edward K. Beidteman, of this city, will be the active man in f < harge of the arrangements Follow ing precedent he will offer the resolu tion for the naming of the committee j for the inauguration and will be the! chairman. John E. Fox, Dauphin; senator in 1910, was chairman when I Governor Tener was named, ilr. Beid-] leman will doubtless confer with the] new Governor considerably and things i will move from the time the coin-! mittee is named, as the senator has some reputation for getting action and of the right kind. The presence of Dr. Brumbaugh at the State Education Association meet ing here next is expected to add much interest to the gathering which will be a notable ailair. The doctor is a former president of the association and the first schoolmaster governor, the first to step from the educator's i hair to that of the State executive. Some inkling of his policy in regard to education, especially rural education, can be expected.
