6 PENROSE CALLS FOR LAW CHANGE Says Woodward Cdurt Suits Have Shown Necessity of Altering Primary Act Senator Boles Penrose declared In Philadelphia yesterday that the pri mary laws of Pennsylvania should be changed so that such tricks as were tried to "camouflage" James F. Woodward and Dr. George Wdooward on ths ballot should be prevented by a change ot the primary law. He said the practice Is becoming com mon among what he termed "small fry politicians." "It is my opinion." said Senator Penrose, "that a law should be passed at the next session of the Legislature which would prevent conspiracies to cheat the voters. This case of the ChaufTeur Woodward is a very glaring and scandalous one and is only equaled by the similar effort made in Reading to file pa pers for another Woodward so as to deceive the voters concerning the candidacy of Representative Wood ward, of McKeesport, for Secretary of Internal Affairs. "This is a common practice with small fry politicians, and in this in stance is characteristic and illustra tive of the methods and purposes of the O'Neil-Scott alliance. In the end these fraudulent attempts gen erally react upon the perpetrators. "I am not informed as to what ac tion the Republican City Committee will take toward endorsing candi dates; moreover, the City Committee nor the State Committee ought not to be called upon to endorse candidates of any kind. A campaign committee ix intended to elect candidates after they are nominated. It is a gross abuse of the control of the party machinery to attempt to influence the popular primary by such meth ods. Furthermore, the practice Is highly Irregular from the general point of view. No one has ever heard of a national committee en dorsing anyone for Fr-csident, no one has ever heard ot a state committee endorsing anyone for a state office. Of course, members may express a preference or exert them selves in behalf of some candidate. "If. as it has been reported, of ficeholders are to be called in and consulted, the situation becomes worse, because they are supposed to keep out of politics. Such activities destroy the whole spirit of the popu lar primary. "All reports which I receive from up state 4iov Increasing strength for Sproul and Beidlenian. Senator Beidleman in particular. The domi nant thought seems to be that it is an outrage for any faction in Phila delphia to attempt to demand rep resentation on the state ticket for a Philadelphia candidate. The up-state Republicans feel outraged and dis gusted with the political and munici pal conditions in Philadelphia, and there is unanimous thought that Philadelphia should cleanse its own house before its people can be en titled to ask representation on a ticket which requires the aupport of the Republicans of the state."
