Baldwin was made the unanimous choice of the Republicans of the House of Representatives for the speakership last night on motion of Edwin R. Cox, Philadelphia, his leading rival. The bitter campaign of personalities that has raged for the last six weeks was forgotten and there were signs that the strong sentiment of the up-state members against any further dragging of a Philadelphia factional fight into party affairs was having an impression. When the vote •was annonuced Mr. Cox promptly moved to make the nomination unani mous, which was done. Mr. Baldwin received 95 votes, Mr. Cox 65, A. B. Hess. I-ancaster, 3, George W. Williams. Tioga, 2!, F. C. Ehrhardt, 1. while Mr. Hess refused 10 vote and Quinton O. Reitzel, Lan caster, was absent, being at the border with his regiment. Henry Gransback. of Philadelphia, senior member, presided, with Chief Clerk Garvin and Resident Clerk Leib as secretaries. Samuel A. Whitaker, Chester, was called to the chair as vice-chairman. The roll call showed 167 members present, J. B. Yost, Schuylkill, having died and Mr. Reitzel absent. W. T. Ramsey, Delaware, named Mr. Baldwin, with a second bv Frederick Beyer, Philadelphia, and Herman L. Hecht. Philadelphia, named Mr. Cox. with a second from Joseph H. Phillips. Clearfield. Mr. Eby named Mr. Ehrhardt. Mr. Wil- Jr i " ure death to rat* I 11 ln< ' m ' ce ' )ut H*rmleiito I II ilip humani. Dries the rat 9 without decay or odor. I TUESDAY EVENING, Hams withdrew early in the evening, but Uid not ask his friends to vote for anyone. He voted for Cox, and Frank H. Marvin, his colleague, for Mr. Wil liams, and James R. Gormley, Beaver, did the same. Messrs. Cox and Bald win exchanged votes. The balloting was marked by con siderable good feeling and mistakes made caused much laughter. The votes of the opposing candidates were cheered. Eby Presents Views John S. Kby, Perry, presented the name of Mr. Ehrhardt and voted for him in spite of Ehrhardt's withdrawal of his name. Eby's speech was the best of the evening and created con siderable merriment. He said in part: "I want to say in open caucus that I am not in favor of the comments that have been scattered broadcast over this fair state of ours regarding the election of a Speaker in this House of 1917. We as gentlemen come here in the performance of a duty; we did not come here as galley slaves to be led to the altar or shrine by any political parties or factions in any other end of the state. I represent that end of the state, gentlemen, that you look to for your daily bread, the agricultural end, and X am proud of it. More than once that delightful sound came to my ears last year—Perry county! Why, where is Perry county? Perry county is still on the map. We are here to say that Perry county is not altogether satisfied with the selection of a Speaker, and we don't come down here to tire you with something we don't know anything about. We don't have much knowledge, to be sure, but we have a wonderful amount of back bone, and we have a good, strong spring that gets our hips away from the chair occasionally. "I don't object to Philadelphia and Pittsburgh getting everything that comes their way. because this is sort of go for and get game if you are big enough and long enough in the arms you will get along. I do not expect that Perry county will get anything, and I am not going to be disappointed when I go back home; but we do have people in this assembly that should be recognized in this caucus, and if I had my way—and it is only an individual notion that is going to be expressed there—l would wipe the slate clean of the nominations made and I would pick from this body of gentlemen some person who would fill that chair with dignity and honor and impartiality. I would not have a man there who would bow his knee to any but the Creator. I don't believe in a man coming down here shackeled and tied, and I want to tell you just now that there isn't any of you that has got more good, rich, solid Republican blood In his veins than I have. X stepped into the firing lines when there was no chance. They said we will get rid of him. They did—the people did. They said the same thing this time—"He is a nominee and he cannot be elected." Unfortunately, I am here, and I bob up every now and then." Following is the detailed vote for the Republican nomination for Speaker: For Baldwin Allegheny county—Somerman, Sul livan.

Woodward, Allegheny, moved that a committee on patronage of the House, as the places are termed, ; 'je named after the vote had been an nounced and one man from each con gressional district will comprise it. Immediately after Thomas F. McNichol, Philadelphia, presented a resolution that Mr. Garvin be named for chief clerk and Mr. Leib for resi dent clerk and Frank Morrison, Phila delphia, assistant clerk last session, I for the same place. Morrison is a "It's Insurance" SGood Evening! IZToL Are Y OU Aetnaized ?

Morrison is not in favor with the Bald win men and the adoption of the resolution would have elected him. Mr. McNicliol protested and Mr. Cox contended that the game should be played right. The chairman persisted in his ruling and an appeal was taken by Leopold C. Glass, Philadelphia, and the chair was sustained, 91 to 57. That ended it and it looks as though Mor rison would lose. Xo Crowding Allowed The tremendous interest in the Re publican caucus caused the corridors to be jammed long before the caucus and the packing of the room, which holds 250 persons, was prevented by a cordon of police, who kept out all but members and accredited news paper correspondents. Only those with cards got by the officers and Charles Johnson and Gabriel H. Moyer were on the door. The biggest political leaders of the state did not get in and the men who had come miles had to stay out. State officials and attaches were likewise barred and only one State official tried to run the line and the brawny "cops" put him outside the ropes in style. In the crowd here last night were most of the mine inspectors, the pure food agents and other attaches of the JANUARY 2, 1917. State government. It was a great night—for those outside. Democrats in Harmony The Democratic caucus meetings took a leaf out of the Republican book and held meetings making for party harmony. In the senatorial caucus the ten senators named Henry Was hers, of York, as their candidate for the presidency and discussed legis lation in the interest of the plain people behind closed doors. The House caucus was bossed by State Chairman Guffey and E. Lowry Humes, chief of the ringmasters committee. John M. Flynn, Elk, the senior member, called it to order and In the interest of har mony named Herr Sarig as the sole candidate and he was named, not be ing allowed to make another speech. Charles A. Shaffer, Columbia, was per manent chairman and threw bouquets at President Wilson. Vance C. McCor miek and others he could think of. Patrick Wynne, Luzerne, was secre tary. The Democrats will get out their legislative program to-day. John W. Canon, Mercer, offered a resolution that the rules be changed and the committee be selected by the House, the Democrats getting a certain por tion. It will be presented to-day and is a scheme to go back to the rules of 1913.
