(Special Correspondence. > Philadelphia, May 13. —Since Presi dent Roosevelt has signed the oleo margarine bill, the measure which la designed to protect the pure butter interest of the country. Senator Pen rose has been the recipient of many letters of congratulation over the suc cessful fight made by him in the son ate in favor of this legislation. There has been a large demand for copieß of the principal speech made by him on this subject from members of the various granges, as it was re garded as one of the most forcible and convincing addresses made during the course of the debate. Senator Penrose has gotten many letters enclosing resolutions adopted by various organizations of farmers and dairymen that advocated the pas sage of this bill. Here is a sample resolution passed by the Spencertown Grange, No. 1,035, of Tioga county: Whereas, The Hon. Boles Pen rose, by speaking and voting for the Henry oleo bill, has shown himself a friend of the farmers of this state; Therefore, Be it resolved, that this grange extend to Hon. Boles Penrose a rising vote of thanks, with the assurance that his action thereby will be remembered by the members of this grange. (Signed) L. M. SPENCER, Master. O. H. SPENCER, Secretary. Senator Penrose has received prob ably a hundred of such resolutions, and his mail almost daily includes ad ditional expressions from similar or ganizations. Senator Penrose will probably be called upon to draft part, if not all, of the platform of the Republican state convention to be held at Harrisburg on June 11 next, and it can be taken for granted that he will see to it that the Republican organization of Penn sylvania shall be committed to all needed state legislation for the pro tection of the farm and dairy interests of the commonwealth. INSURGENTS TO BE LEFT HOME. Attention is now being directed to the personnel of the coming state legislature, although many counties have yet to name their candidates. In this city the party leaders have agreed upon nearly all of the candi dates to be supported at the primaries to be held in the first week in June. Two of the most conspicuous insur gents in the last legislature. David Martin and J. Bayard Henry, will not be renominated for the state senate. Neither of them is a candidate. Mar tin will be succeeded by former Reg ister of Wills Hackett and Henry's place will be taken by Representative Harrison, both of them stalwart Re publicans. Of the thirty-nine members of the last House of Representatives from the Quaker City but thirteen will be renominated. None of those who bolt ed the senatorial caucus will go back. The next delegation from Philadelphia ■will be conspicuous from the large number of young Republicans who will figure on the floor of the house. Un der the present leadership the young men of Philadelphia are coming to the front in the Republican organization and they are being given recognition in a practical way. THE CONGRESSIONAL CANVASS. There have been but few Important developments in the several contests for Republican nominations for con gress throughout the state. The fight between Congressman Mahon and for mer Senator Hummel for congressional honors is becoming interesting and both candidates are on the go through out the district. Congressman Butler, of the Delaware-Chester district, has been asaured of renomination without opposition and Congressman Wanger, of Bucks and Montgomery, says he is not the least concerned over the sug gestion of a new man being taken up for his place. While there has been some litigation regarding the right of the chairman of the Beaver county committee to refuse to allow Congressman Acheson to reg ister for the Beaver county primaries, the supporters of Acheson predict that he will ultimately be named to succeed himself. On the other hand Lawyer Cunningham, of Beaver, is making a hard fight. Up in the Wayne, Susquehanna, Bradford, Wyoming district the confer ees failed to reach an agreement at their first meeting with M. E. Lllley, of Bradford; Homer Green, of Wayne, and present Congressman C. Fred. Wright, of Susquehanna, the candi dates. Wyoming has no candidate, but Instructed her delegates for Congress man Wright. The outcome of this dead lock is awaited with Interest. Congressman Deemer, of the Lycom ing district; Jack, of Indiana; Connell, of Lackawanna; Palmer, of Luzerne; Patterson, of Schuylkill; Casscl, of Lancaster; Olmsted, of Dauphin; Dal zell and Graham, of Allegheny; Sib ley, of Venango, and Bates, of Craw ford, are among those who will have no trouble in securing renomination. It is predicted that Pennsylvania will increase her Republican representation in the next congress. Of the cougressmen-at-large Con- John D. Reeser's Big Store Bank Block, Dushore, Pa John D.

SOME LIVELY CAMPAIGN WORK Elkin, Watres and Ptnnypacker Ar« Now the Only Recognized Rival* For the Republican Nomination For the Governorship. (Special Corrnapondanca.) Harrlsburg, May 13. —With the de velopments of the last week the gub ernatorial race has practically been re duced to a stvuggle between three com petitors for the Republican nomina tion. The canvass for delegates is still be ing conducted upon the most strenuous lines and the champions of the rival aspirants are kept busy watching the game of their opponents and striving for advantage at every point. The last week formally disposed of two of those who had been mentioned among "the home favorites," but who were never regarded as dangerous fac tors, Senator W. C. Sproul, of Dela ware, and Urtlted States District At torney James D. Holland, of Mont gomery county. Sproul had been honored-with an in dorsement from his county convention and the delegates to the state conven tion from Delaware were instructed to vote for him. He concluded that he was not to be considered serioOisly by the state leaders and withdrew in a letter In which he said he hoped the movement to harmonize the party would be successful. The delegates from Delaware afterward met and in dorsed Judge Pennypacker for gov ernor. Mr. Holland, recognizing that he, too, had no Rhow, did not allow his name togo before the Montgomery county convention and made no oppo sition to an indorsement of Judge Pennypacker. BOOMING PENNYPACKER. The Philadelphia Republicans, repre senting all factions, have gotten down to the work of booming Judge Penny packer for the governorship. They are having their ward clubs and com mittees meet and indorse his candi dacy. They have appointed commit tees to canvass the state in his inter est and are organizing delegations to goto the state convention to cheer and shout for him when the clans gather In Harriaburg prior to the opening of the state convention on June 11th. frHE STHE TRI-WEEKLY SLAPORTE GAZETTE and BULLETIN NEWSITEM Tells all ihe general news ofihe Bent dressed and moat respected world, particularly that of our newspaper in Sullivan countv State, all the time and tells it Pre-eminently n home newspaper impartially.

The action ol' the Lawrence county delegates in Indorsing Judge Penny packer is understood to mean that the\ expect the backing of the judge's friends for their favorite for the lieu tenant governorship, former Senator William M. Hrown, of lAwrence coun ty. Senator Brown's friends fought the Elkin men In Lawrence and succeeded In bagging the state delegates and they are In a position to deal with the Philadelpliians in the framing of a slate before the convention. The leaders back of Judge Pennypacker are known to be friendly to Senator Brown and If Pennypacker shall succeed in getting the nomination it is believed Senator Brown will stand a good chance of getting second place on the ticket. ELKIN'S STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN. The campaign being waged in behalf of Attorney General John P. Elkin has not been relaxed in the slightest par ticular. The attorney general is direct ing his own forces and he is busy night and day. Luzerne county was a storm center last week when former Lieutenant Governor Watres' admirers In the first Luzerne district, comprising the city of Wilkesbarre, challenged Mr. Elkin to a public debate. The "Indiana county plow boy" promptly accepted the chal lenge and the debate took place on Fri day night before an audience of several thousands. The candidates aioided personalities, but each made a spirited address, in which he set forth his claims for the nomination. Mr. Elkin's address dwelt largely upon the devel opments in the political situation which led,up to Senator Quay's request that he retire from the race. He reiterated his determination to continue in the canvass until the state convention shall name its candidates and demanded that the people be given an opportunity to ■express their preferences at the pri maries in the gubernatorial canvass. The delegates election in the Wilkes barre district took place on Saturday and the Elkin delegates won. The vote was quite close. The Elkin men now claim that they have nine of tiic ten delegates from Luzerne. In an other claim from the Elkin headquar ters they count Armstrong and Forest countijK, which held primaries on Sat urday. In Dauphin county the Elkin men declare they wjll have the full delegation. The primaries in Dauphi.i take place on the 17th inst. Colonel Watres seems not to be dis mayed by the result of the Luzerne county elections, although this county adjoins his home county of Lacka wanna. The colonel says lie will keep up the fight until the roll shall be call ed in the state convention attd that he is still hopeful that he will be agreed upon as a compromise candidate for r~vernor.
