ALL IS HARMONY
FOR 1919 SESSION
[Continued from First
position and' that the program is sat
isfactory to everybody.
Cut and Dried
Tlio proceedings to-morrow will
bo cut and dried. Not even the pro
hibition issue, which threatened for
a time to bob up at the opening ses
sion. will obtrude Itself upon the
harmony of the day. This was made
certain by a statement isaued las
night by Representative John W.
Vickerman. leader or tho "dry
forces in the Legislature, who is
sued the following statement:
"Immediate action by the Legis
lature on the ratification of the pro
hibition amendment has been urg
ed by a number of pesons through
out tho state, the suggestion being
that an effort be made to force
action at the opening session Tues
dav, January 7, so that Pennsylvania
would be among the first thirty-six
suites, the number necessary to
ratify tho national amendment.
Haste I'nwtec
"In my judgment, such haste
would be very unwise. Under the
necessary proceduce for "Uf' l a
measure, it would he impossible to
teenre such quick action. The rati
lication resolution, being a pom'
resolution, takes the form of a bin,
md must bo referred to a committee
for their conalderatidtf. and since
the speaker will not announce his
committees until January 21. it
would be impossible to act on the
neasuro at the opening session. The
uecedcnt for this procedure Is found
n tho amendment to tho national
■onsttcution providing for the elec
tion oT United States senators by a
direct vote of the people. The reso
ution ratifying this amendment,
which was passed at the 1913 ses
sion. was a joint resolution and was
•eferrcd to the judiciary general
L-ommlttee. so that the same pro
edure will be followed in the reso
ution ratifying the prohibition
iimemlment to the constitution, and
it is not likely a vote can be had on
the measure until after the middle of
February. By that time the neces
sary thirty-six states may have rati
fied. but I do not think the required
number will have been reached at
that date. Yet I think it much wiser
to proceed judiciously and have
Pennsylvania ratify the amendment
ven if we should be the thirty-sev
enth. fourtioth. or forty-second state
to ratify, than try to force quick
lotion and foil. I have had a num
ber of conferences with Govcrnor-
L-lect Sproul in reference to this par
ticular legislation and he has given
!iis hearty and enthusiastic support
n working out a program which
will be entirely satisfactory to the
iry forces of the state. Governor
■lproul confidently expects the reso
lution to pass both houses at the
proper time."
All to Be Hr-Elected
Thomas H. Garvin, of Sharon Hill.
Delaware county, will be re-elected
chief clerk of the House, and Wil
liam S. Lieb. of Schuylkill county,
will again be chosen resident clerk
of the House.
William P. Gallagher, of Wilkes-
Harre, will be named chief clerk of
the Senate, and W. Harry Baker, of
Harrisburg. is to be re-elected sec
retary of the Senate. Herman P.
Miller, of Harrisburg, will be chos
en Senate librarian.
This is about as far as the Re
publican leaders have decided to go
at the organization meeting of the
Legislature, and the scores of other
jobs, clerks, sergeants-at-arms,
pasters and folders, doorkeepers,
stenographers, custodians, postmas
lers. pages, etc., will be parceled out
by the slate committees of the House
and Senate.
According to the plans of the Re
publican leaders, the Legislature will
take a recess for a fortnight immo- 1

dlately after It organises. The slate
committees of the House and Senate
will tin the interim hold meetings,
either in Philadelphia or Atlantic
City, and decide upon the committee
appointments and the legislative
jobs.
The slate committee of the House
will be composed of thirty-two mem
bers. dne from each Congressional
district, and will be appotnted either
by the Speaker of the chairman of the
Republican caucus. The slate com
mittee of the Senate was appointed
at the close of the 1917 session. In
cluded in its membership are Govern
or-elect Sproul and Lieutenant-Gov
ernor Beidleman.
Place For Gawthrop
Former Judge Robert S. Gawthrop.
of West Chester, is to be First Depu
ty Attorney General in the admin
istration of Governor-elect Sproul
under Attorney General William I.
Schuffer, of Chester.
Governor-elect Sproul said la t
night that the position had beers ten
tiered to Judge Gawthrop and that
he has accepted it. Gawthrop is one
'of the leading members of the bar in
Cheater county. He was associated
with District Attorney Itotan and
Assistant Tsul.me. of Philadelphia,
last summer tn the prosecution of
"ike" Deutsch. Police Lieutenant
Bennett and five policemen of the
Fifth ward at West Chester.
Two of the Assistant Attorney
Generals now serving under Attorney
General Francis Shunk Brown most
likely will be reappointed. They are
William M. Hargest. of Harrisburg.'
and Emerson Collins, of Williams
port.
Place For Lancaster Lawyer
William .H. Keller, of Laneaste-.
who is at present the First Deputy
Attorney General, time ago
made known to Governor-elect
Sproul his desire to retire and he
will not be given one of the places
in the Attorney General's office.
Others who will retire are Harry K.
Dauglierty. of Grove City, Mercer
county, and Edmund K. Trent, of Se- |
wlckley, Allegheny county.
Bernard J. Myers, of Lancaster, will
be asked to take one of the principal
places in the Attorney General's of
fice. He has been City Solicitor in
Lancaster for nine years. Another
appointment as an assistant, moot
likely, will be W. I. Swope, of Clear
field.
Xo Governor'* Staff Now
! There will be no Adjutant General
and a Governor'* staff appointed by
Governor-elect Sproul until after the
! status of the National Guard is de
j cided upon, the new Governor said.
Such Governor's staffs, made up of
I civilians, is regarded by Sproul as
! "military camouflage," and. follow
' Ing the war. In which 320.000 Penn
; sylvanlans took an active part, the
Governor-elect believes, now is not
the time for the naming of men for
! the meaningless positions.
It is possible when the "boys come
home" and the status of the National
Guard or the Reserve Militia is de
; termined that Sproul may appoint a
staff of real colonels, men who have
seen service in France.
'William Flinn. former State Sena-
I tor, of Pittsburgh, long a leader in
j jyibiie affairs in Pennsylvania,
. strongly endorses the movement for
I holding a convention to frame a new
' Constitution for the state. In par
ticular, Senator Flinn believes that
broad provision should be made in
j the organic law to empower the
state to deal emphatically in crushing
; Bolshevism and other forms of de
structive radicalism that have
j ranged themselves against the funda
i mentals of democracy in the coun
-1 tr >"'
Among legislators from every see
-1 tion of the state who had reached
! Harrisburg to-day there were three
i chief topics of conversation—the
I death of Colonel Roosevelt, the va
i cancy in the Superior Court created
through the elevation of Judge John
W. Kephart to tho Supremo Court.'
■ and the house chairman sh'p of the j
Committee on Appropriations.
Superior Court Talk
Superloi Court discussion was con
fined to the possibility that Governor
Brumbaugh some time to-day may
name a successor to Judge Kephart
l —to-day being specifically named
| because, following the opening of
j tho Legislative session to-morrow
• noon, the Governor, it he names a
• Superior Court judge, must have that
! appointment approved by the Senate.
! Tins is a provision cf the State Oon
| stitution—Section 8 of Article 4. As
; told c'sewhere in the Telegraph to
day. the name of Deputy Attorney
j General W. 11. Keller has been sug
! gested as a possible ehoice of the
j Governor: and it was said to-day
ithat Deputy Attorney General Joseph
t Kun is also being considered. Those
| who advanced the name of Mr. Kun
j tell the following incident: *
j Following the selection of William
| I. Scliaffer, of Chester, as attorney
I genera several weeks ngo by Gov
j ernor-elect Sproul. Charles Soger, a
I Philadelphia ward leader, wrote Mr.
! Scliaffer asking for the appointment
; of Mr. Kun under the new admtnis
i tration, in the same position he now
; holds. A few days later Mr. Seger
j withdrew the request—and this is
i said to be confirmatory evidence that
I Governor Brumbaugh has Kun in
' mind and that Seger had "inside"
. Information.
Xo Kxdtement
| While scores of members of the
I Legislature were on hand to-day,
i there was absolutely no excitement.
: The organization of both branches
J will be along lines indicated for
' weeks past. The Republicans will
; hauve caucus t%-night at 9. The
'■ House Republicans will name Robert
S. bpangler, of York, as their choice
I for speaker of the House. The Sen-
I ate Republicans Will select Clarence
J. Buckman. of Bucks county, as
their choice for president pro teni. j
Both will be elected wlien tho Legis- 1
lature convenes to-morrow at noon,]
. because the Democrats are in a
! hopeless minority. There are six
Democrats in the Senate and twenty
! three in the House. Of the twenty
' three Democratic Assemblymen.
| eighteen are "wets" and five "dry." j
The Democratic inapority, therefore.
| is anti-McCormiek and Palmer; and
the state organization will be notice
able for its absence when the Demo
| crats caucus to-night. For the Dem
; ocrats fully intend to hold a caucus.
It is one.of the few features the ses
: sion holds for them. Peter Murphy,
of Ashley, Luzerne county, will likely
be the Democratic choice for speaker
of the House —and this selection will
make him floor leader for the ses-
I sion. Over in the Senate the half
i dozen Democrats have not expressed
!a choice for president pro tern: and
; the honor, as the Democrats term it,
|of being defeated by eSnntor Buck
' man Will very likely fall to Senator
! Sones. of Wllllamsport.
Pittsburgh Council
| When they were not discussing the
House Appropriations Committee,
| chairmanship to-day, Piittsburgh
legislators and politicians were talk
ing of prospective legislation dealing
i with the change in the Pittsburgh
; council. Considerable opposition
j seems to have developed to the small
| council idea among western states
. men. It is declared that the small
i council is not truly representative.
, its members being elected at large;
' and that the individual members arc
! responsible to no one. It is proposed
; by opponents of the present system
I that a one-body council with district
j representation be created; but opin
• lon is divided as to whether the dis
-1 tricts to be represented should be
| wards or legislative districts.
It seemed to-day that Pittsburgh,
while carrying on the discussion rel
! ative to the change, will wait to see
! what Philadelphia does in the matter
!of a change of government. Phila-
I delphia's lead may perhaps be fot
j lowed.
' Few Philadelphians had arrived at
HARRISBTTRCr TELEGRAPH
• noon to-day, but there ,wa9 much
[ talk of the proposed new charter for
j that city. Whether or not anything
I will be done was of course undeter
| mined.
The Pittsburgh delegation to-day
; declarod that the chaimanship of tho
I House Committee on Appropriations
| will go to William McCalg. of Alle
-1 gheny county. Both McCalg and
j William C. Hamsey, of Delaware
! county, have been mentioned for this
I chairmanship. McCalg has the sup
j port of Secretary of Internul AfTalrs
! elect James Woodward, of AlcKees
port. Whatever the llnal choice may
! be, it was told to-day, tlie c'ose har
| mony which now marks Republicans
' i in tlie House will not be disturbed.
>i When the Legislature convenes to
morrow, a number of old employes
'j will be re-elected. In the Senate, the
j secretary, W. Harry Uakor, is of
' course certain to be retained, as are
• Chief Clerk W. P. Gallagher and
I Librarian Herman P. Atiller. Air.
I Gallagher arrived here from Wikes
. I Barre at noon to-day. wlthl a num
ijber of new members front that sec -
' tion. In the House, Thomas H.-Gar
j vln, chief cerk; J. Edward Jlruckney,
j assistant chief clerk; W. S'. Lelt), res
| klcnt clerk, and Daniel E. Hunlhan,
j sergeant-at-arins, are slated for re

I In the Senate, Senator Daix will
i likely head the appropriations eom

An arrival to-duy was Richard J.
{Baldwin, of Delaware county, the
' speaker of the last House, and now
J considered decidedly in the running
'as the successor in the state Senate i
; of William C. Sproul when the latter,
! becomes Governor. Delaware county,
j members to-day were carrying a
i healthy boom for Baldwin and told
! that sentiment in Delaware county
jis strongly for him. Senator Sproul
' will not resign from the state Senate,
i however, until late January 20 or
'early on the morning of January 21,
; the day he is to be Inaugurated as
i Governor. Lieutenant Governor Bei
i dleman will call for special elections
in both Delaware and Dauphin coun
. ties, these to be lied at as eary a date
as possiWe.
Senator Crow Coining Today-
Senator William E. Crow. Repub
lican state chairman, will reach Har
-1 rlsburg to-day. Senator Crow is in
j charge of arrangements for the in
auguration of Governor-elect Sproul
j and upon bis arrival will consult
! with state leaders relative to the pro
gram for January 21.
A small boomlet exhibited to-day
' was that produced by friends of Rep
| resentatlve Allan D. Atiller, of Sus
; quehanna county, who urged that in
i asmucli as Miller is the only Granger
j in the House, he should be made
.chairman of the Appropriations Com
] mittee.
j Not the least interesting topic of
' discussion among politicians and
others to-day was the recent solec
! tlon of Governor Brumbaugh to be
i official state historian.
l-egislators from Allegheny county
| will caucus this afternoon at 4
1 o'clock, to decide upon what they
i will ask for members from that
; county.
The Penn-Harris Hotel has quite
; generally been adopted as headquar-
I ters for Senators, Assemblymen and
| others. Of the fifty state Senators,
! forty are said to have reservations
for tlie session at the new hotel.
Senator Aiax Leslie and a lafge num
| ber of Pittsburgh men of affairs reg
istered there last night. Mayor Kitts,
l of Erie, arrived to-day. Representa
tive "Dick" Powell, of Luzerne, and
I scores ot' others were in the lobby
