Leaders Object To Wanamakeritei Running The Minorit* Partv. A VERY LIVELY FIGHT !S ON. A Pronounced Sentiment In the Or ganization Against the Nomination of An Inaurgent On the Bourbon Ticket. Philadelphia, July 23—A pretty fight has broken out In the Democratic party in this state and there are likely t® be kioine interesting revelations before the Democratic state convention meets at Harrisburg on the 15th prox. It is the old struggle over again, be t w ten thestraightout Democrats and the Democrats who are controlled by the Wanamaker influences and who have for the last few years made the Demo cratic organization subordinate to the so ( ailed independent Republican or In stil gent combine, of which John Wana maker is now the acknowledged head. Wanamakerism has disrupted the Democracy of the state to such an ex tent that many of the old line Demo crats, who have not for years taken an active interest in the affairs of the Democratic state organization are push ing to the front, and they say they propose to make themselves heard at the coming Democratic state conven tion. Unless Col. Guffey puts his foot down hard upon the schemes of the Wana maker Democrats there will be "fur a tlyln" when th" Democratic convention gets down to the work of framing a state ticket. THE WANAMAKER STATE TICKET. The Wanamaker Democrats have al ready slated the ticket which they pro pose to support. They are for the nomi nation of Judge Harman Yerkes, of Bucks county, a Democrat, for justice of the supreme court, and Representa tive E. A. Coray, of Luzerne, an In surgent Republican, for state treasurer. The Wanamaker newspapers have been booming this slated combination and have been reviving the proposition for a fusion movement which shall receive the support of all Wanamaker Repub licans in the state. These so called Republicans, prior to the meeting of the Republican state convention, and without knowing who the Republican canidates are to be, and without apparently giving that matter a moments thought, have announced their purpose to support a Democratic ticket to be made up of Yerkes and Coray. Republicans of Pennsylvania who be lieve in the principles of their party and who have some feeling of loyalty to their party organization, will recog nize in this proclaimed action of the Wanamaker insurgents another evi dence of the selfish and personal inter est which actuate the small contingent which constitute the remains of the late Insurgent movement in Pennsyl vania politics. While the Insurgent Republicans and their allies in the Democratic party are advocating the nomination of Coray for state treasurer the straightout Demo crats have candidates of their own. whose names will be presented to the Democratic state convention and who will be backed with all the vigor of the old fashioned Democracy of the Key stone state. Former Sheriff Charles Robinson, of Lackawanna county, has been proposed by the leading Democrats of northeast ern Pennsylvania for the nomination for state treasurer. Coming from the same section of the state as Coray, Robinson's candidacy presents a direct challenge to the Insurgent Republi cans and their Democratic co-workers for the election of delegates from the northeastern counties to the Democrat ic state convntion. Former Senator Mc- Donald, of Lackawanna, is active in leading the fight for Robinson. Former Democratic State Chairman John M. Qarmau is out in a letter to Chairman Creasy of the Democratic state committee, demanding the nomi nation of a straight Democratic state ticket, and others of prominence and influence in the Democratic state or ganization are giving public expression to like sentiments. Representative Mayne, of Lehigh county, is another Democrat who has been proposed for the Democratic nomi nation for state treasurer, and there will probably be others before many days have passed. Meanwhile, the stalwart Republican leaders are watching complacently the developments, day by day. They smile as they see the Wanamakerites who have cut such a sorry figure in the Re publican organization, now attempting to dispute leadership in the Democ racy with some of the oldest and most respected Democratic leaders. THE PURPOSE OF IT ALL The rule or ruin policy of the Wana maker contingent in the Republican or ganization has not profited the mer chant prince of the Quaker City any, and now that he and his supporters are mgaged in a bitter struggle against the Republican organization in Philadel phia, they want to have the Democrats in the state frame a state ticket so that they can call It a "reform ticket," and thy can call It a "reform ticket." and seek to persuade Republicans of this city to vote their local Wanamaker ticket, but placing a cross mark in the circle at the head of the Democratic column, which would mean a vote for all the candidates of the Democracy, state and local. If the Wanamaker plans are success fully carried out. this would mean a vote for Wanamaker's private counsel. P. F. Rothermel, who is the Wanamaker candidate for district attorney of Phila delphia. HISSOUKI'S HAIN PRAVER ' Governor Made Yesterday A Day j of Universal Appeal, BUT IT WAS HOTTER THAN EVER Thermometers In St. Loula Registered 106 at 3.30 O'clock In tho Afternoon. Chicago Enjoyed lt« Hottest Day In Thirty Years. St. Louis, July 22.—Yesterday, the day that Governor Dockery designnteo for fasting and prayer to God that the ' present drouth might be broken in Missouri, all records for hot weather ' in St. Louis were broken, the weather bureau thermometer on the custom ! house registering 106 degrees. the 112 streets and in exposed places the mer cury went many degrees higher. The record broken was that of 106, made in the early eighties. At early as 7 a. m.the tlay gave promise of being unusually warm. At that time the thermometer registered 90 degrees, and from then on until 3.30 p. m.the mercury steadily climbed upward under the impulse of a fierce sun shining from a cloudless sky. Hardly a breath of air stirred all day. and the little that did circulate came as the draught from a furnace, so in tensely hot was It. The governor's proclamation was very generally heeded, nearly every church in the city holding well attend ed services, given up to prayer that the drouth, which has prevailed sev eral months and threatens the de struction of all vegetation, might be broken. This is the second proclamation of the character ever made in the his tory of Missouri. In 1875, a time of drouth and grasshoppt-r pest, Gov ernor Charles H. Hardin called upon the people of the state to pray for re lief. This call was also generally observed. In the states of lowa, Missouri and Kansas the duration of the present heated term is without precedent,there having been practically no interruption to temperatures of 90 degrees or over , since June 18, a period of 34 days, j On 18 days of this period the maxi- j mum temperature at Kansas City was 10() degrees or more. There are as yet. no indications of any relief from the abnormal heat. No rain has fallen I in the corn belt for the past three days anil none is in sight. At other points the maximum tem perature was as follows: Kansas City, ' 104; Chillicothe, 114; Bowling Green. 112; Paris, 108; Monroe Cjty. 107: I Sp.ingfield 100. Chicago's Hottest Day In 30 Years. I Chicago. July 22. —All heat records j since the establishment of the weather bureau in Chicago 30 years ago wore ' broken -yesterday, the government ' tfci rmometer registering 103 degrees.

From 5 o'clock ! in the morning, when the thermometer | registered 77, a gradual rise followed until, at 4.30 in the afternoon, the top notch had been reached. Shortly after j that time the wind veered around to ward the lake and caused a drop to 95 at 5.30 last night. Prostrations were nu merous and police ambulances were . kept busy taking care of persons who were overcome on the streets. At Decatur the thermometer regis tered 106, while a similar temperature was recorded at Sioux City, la. Even Russia Feels the Heat.
