Some Observations on Baker's Letter, as Published
In the Gang Controlled Newspaper on Sept. 13th
W. Harry Baker, acknowledged "Boss" of the Ring in Dauphin County, attempts
to camouflage the real issue in this campaign by warning of Democratic propaganda.
He is lamenting the fact that Democrats by the hundreds are joining the ranks of the
G. O. P. He attempts to becloud the real issue by calling the attention of Republicans
to the fact that the contest this year is, "a skirmish in anticipation of the great battle of
1920." He refers in this to Lincoln, Grant, McKinley and Roosevelt and winds up by
an appeal to Republicans to support his slate for County and City Offices, as if to
create the impression that unless his slate is elected, the Republican party would go to
smash in this County.
The fallacy of the argument resorted to by Mr. Baker must be apparent to every
sober minded, thoughtful Republican, who is interested in the success of the Party,
rather than in the success of those who are masquerading as Republicans and as the
Party Bosses.
How could the future of the Grand Old Party be affected by the defeat of the
Gang Slate tomorrow? If you, Mr. Baker, are really interested in the future of the
Republican Party in this County and State, it would seem natural for you to welcome
into the Party, members of all other political parties. By your failure to do this, the
only logical conclusion is, that you are mo'e interested in furthering your own politi
cal ambitions and a few of your cronies, who have been bossing politics in this County
for the past six years, or more. Don't you think that the welfare of the Party would be
enhanced, if you and your associates would refrain from using the County Commit
tee before the primaries and thereby give equality of opportunity to all candidates?
Was this not the intention of the Legislature, which framed the Uniform Primaries
Law? Was it not intended that there should be OPEN PRIMARIES?
If you have the success of the Republican Party really at heart, why do you as the
"Big Boss," permit a chosen few of your cronies and associates, who are also officers
of the County Committee, to hold all of the County and City Offices? Is this in fur
therance of the interests of the Republican Party? You wind up your article by saying,
that the interest of the Party demands the election of the slate, which also appears at
the end of your article. This leads to the conclusion that the thought that is in your
mind in this connection is, that you are better qualified to decide who are the right
persons to hold the offices of the County and City than anyone else, and that you are
I to do the thinking for all other Republicans in the County and that all you and your
associates have to do, is, get together, fix up the slate and the voter has nothing to do
but ratify your choice. You seem also to insinuate, that any Republican who does not
think the way you and your associates think, is irregular.
Your article places you in rather a strange position. In one part of your article,
you further camouflage by decrying the fact that many Democrats have become Re-
I publicans, with the intention of raiding the Party primaries, and in the same breath,
you declare their purpose to be, to get away from the Democratic Party because they
are no longer in sympathy with the Wilson Administration. You give this as their
reason near the conclusion of your article, and thus we have two conflicting statements.
When a man makes a Will and there are conflicting statements therein, the rule of the
law is, that what a man says last in his Will shall prevail over what he has said before.
A man has in mind his impending death, when he makes his Will and from outward ap
pearances, it looks very much as if you and your aggregation will meet your political
death at the primary tomorrow.
How do you figure out that the welfare of the Republican Party would be ad
vanced by the nomination and election of Moyer as District Attorney, when he has failed
to do his duty as your County Solicitor? You know this to lie the fact, don't you?
Have you not heard even the present "Boss" controlled County Commissioners com
plain about his neglect? Have you not heard numerous complaints about his failure
to bring suit in the case of the Coroner? Have you not heard the voters complain be
cause your Commissioners have not compelled him to act? Don't you think the wel
fare of the Party would rather lie promoted by the election of Edward F. Doehne as
District Attorney? Has he not always been a generous contributor to the cause of Re
publicanism in this County and State? Has he not always been an active Republican,
working energetically to elect the Party's Candidates after they had been nominated?
Would not the future welfare of the Republican Party in Dauphin County be ad
vanced by the defeat of Cumbler and Stine and the election of Gordon and Shadel. both
well known business men, who would inject business methods into the Office of
County Commissioner, and whose hands would not be tied by a political "Boss?" How
would the welfare of the Republican Party in the County be enhanced by the nomi
nation and election of Taylor for Recorder of Deeds? Don't you honestly believe, d(hvn
I deep in your heart, that the future welfare of the Republican Party would be furthered
by his defeat and the nomination and election of I.ockwood B. Worden, who Is a more
popular candidate, and who would administer the duties of his office in such a satis
factory manner, as to lie a credit to the Party and would not this be to the interest
U and advantage of the Party in the future? Have you ever heard any complaints about
I the way Lockwood B. Worden conducted his office after the death of his father, whom
he succeeded? Have you heard any complaints about Taylor when holding public
office? Which one was the greater credit to the Republican Party? And so, Mr. Faker,
ail along the line on your slate.
How do you figure it out, that it would be a benefit to the Republican Party to
nominate and elect your other hand-picked candidates? Would it not be better for the
Republican Party to nominate and elect Henry D. Koons for Sheriff, Carl B. Shelley
for Register of Wills and Joshua E. Rutherford for County Treasurer, who are all just "
as good Republicans as those whom you have named on your slate, as it appears at the
end of your article in the Harrisburg Telegraph of September 13?
Do you think, Mr. Baker, that it is to the interest of the future welfare of the
Republican Party, for the officers of the County Committee to collect hugh sums of
money and to disburse it through the Party Machinery only in the interest of certain
candidates of your own choice? Do you not thereby trample on the toes of all other
candidates and their numerous Republican friends? Is this right? Is this fair? Does
this give an equal opportunity to all, which is the spirit of true Americanism? You
refer to Theodore Roosevelt. What do you thing the lamented Roosevelt would have
to say about such condud as this? You refer to Lincoln, the great emancipator, who
broke the shackles from the wrist of a million slaves. What would that sainted High
Priest of Republicanism have to say to you and your associates, if he were in Dau
phin County today?
The only sane and logical conclusion that can be drawn from the fact, that you,
as the Secretary of the Republican State Committee, the person to whom the six hun
dred job-holders in the County have to go to for their jobs, is, that you are interested
more in furthering your own ambitions and the political ambitions of two or three of
your associates, rather than in the future welfare of the Republican Party in Dauphin
County and in Pennsylvania, and so, we call upon you to desist from using your job
, holders at the primary tomorrow and to call in your slate, which you have been forced
to circulate in all parts of Dauphin County many days before the Primary. Your de- .
feat is certain and the nomination and election of the following candidates is assured:
Edward F. Doehne Joshua E. Rutherford
District Attorney County Treasurer
Lockwood B. Worden Frank M. Shadel
Recorder of Deeds and Clerk of the David Gordon
Orphans' Court County Commissioners
Henry D. Koons T. G. George (Full Term)

their fate among the "murmuring

happened? Well, that is for the

ficient to say that the only friendly |
object, from the initiated ones' point
of view, was the moon peeping i
down through the trees.
At the conclusion of the myster- !
ious rites, the party returned to the '
home of Miss Christine Long, at
Dauphin, where a supper was served.
There the 1920 girls became full- j
