The final blow to Candidate Emery’s hopes of securing the Prohibitionist homination for governor was adminis- tered yesterday by the state executive committee of the Prohibition party in session at Harrisburg. The commit- tee met for the purpose of filling the vacancy on the party ticket caused by. Mr. W. H. Berry’s withdrawal. This vacancy had occurred under extraordi- nary circumstances. It was a matter of common knowledge that Mr. Berry had allowed himself to be nominated for governor by the third party with the express purpose of turning the nomination over to Mr. Emery later on. The move was made possible through a deal between Mr. Emery’s backers, the Wanamaker managers, and a group of Prohibitionist leaders to whom a po- litical recompense was promised. Mr, Berry retired according to program, but the Wanamaker people failed to deliver the promised goods to their allies in the third party camp, and as a consequence the deal collapsed. At the same time Dr. Silas C. Swallow, the strongest figure among the Pennsyl- vania Prohibitionists, made a public exposure of Mr. Emery’s fitness for a place on the cold water ticket, which effectually clinched matters. In the face of all this Mr. Emery did not despair of adding the Prohibition- ists to the train of nondescripts which is supporting him and which includes more “isms” than ever before got to- gether anywhere outside of Kansas. To the last moment, the Emeryites kept up their impudent play for the Prohibition vote. The farce ended yesterday, however, with the nomina- tion of astraight-out Prohibition ticket. Homer L. Castle, of Allegheny county, previously the nominee for lieutenant governor, was nominated for governor; H. D. Patton of Lancaster was chosen to succeed Mr. Castle in second place, and the nomination for secretary of internal affairs was given to George Hoffman of Montgomery county, in place of E. A. Coray, an Emery man, who found it discreet to withdraw. The personality of these candidates is of little interest, inasmuch as they will have not the ghost of a show at the polls. It is of vital interest, how- ever, to note that the third party has been able, at the last moment, to es- cape the trap set for it by the Wana- maker agents and to preserve its in- tegrity and its good name. The es- cape has been a narrow one, and it should convey a warning of permanent value to the really sincere members of the third party organization; a warn- ing against the influence of an over- ambitious element within their own ranks; a warning, above all, against the temptation to enter into deals or dickers with self-seeking politicians having no sympathy with the Prohibi- tion cause and no honest purpose in negotiating with its disciples. Had the third party linked itself with the Dem- ocracy, the Wanamakerites, the Lin- colnites, Referendumites and the rest of the variegated assemblage behind Mr. Emery, there would have been an it deems itself to possess. Surely it Unless otherwise indicated, their ad- end of whatever dignity and usefulness | HON. ALLEN F. COOPER NAMED BY CONFEREES ON TWELFTH BALLOT. On Thursday afternoon, Aug. 9th, the Republican conferees of the Twenty- third Congressional District, composed of Somerset, Fayette and Greene coun- ties, met at the Hotel Lincoln, Pitts- burg, and nominated the Hon. Allen F. Cooper, of Fayette county, to succeed himself in the National House of Rep- resentatives, the nomination being made on the twelfth ballot. The conference was called to order at 1:30 p. m., and organized by electing Hon. Allen P. Dickey, of Greene county, chairman, and W. A. Kephart, Fayette ; R. W. Munell, Greene, and A. C. Hol- bert, Somerset, secretaries. The roll of conferees was made as follows: John R. Byrne, J. Q. Von Swearington, A. W. Kephart, Fayette; Allen P. Dickey, R. W. Munell, Edward Martin, Greene; A. C. Holbert, N. B. McGriff, H. D. Moore, Somerset, all of whom were present. On motion the conference proceeded to ballot vive voce in alphabetical or- der of the counties, the first ballot re- sulting Cooper, 8; Craigo, 83; Miller, 3; with the same result until the tenth ballot had been taken, when an ad- journment was had of ten minutes, at the expiration of which time the con- ference was called to order and pro- ceeded with the eleventh ballot, which resulted in three votes being cast for each candidate as before. When the twelfth ballot was taken resulting, Cooper, 5 ; Craig, 1; Dickey and Munell of Greene having voted with the Fayette conferees for Cooper, and Martin for Craigo, A. C. Holbert moved that inas- much as the ballot thus far taken showed Allen F. Cooper had received a majority vote of the conference, the ballot be made unanimous, which was secended by N. B. McGriff, and on vote of conference the ballot was made unanimous at 3:55 p. m. The chairman directed the secre- taries to prepare the necessary certifi- cates, and they were properly signed by the chairman and secretaries and sworn to hy the same before a Notary Public. On motion conference adjourned sine die. AT PEACE WITHITHE WORLD. There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with-the- world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast. There is nothing so conducive to good work and good re- sults.

Philadelphia, July 26.—The purchase of poll tax receipts by political organi- zations constitutes a crime under fthe new Roberts corrupt practices act, ac- cording to the interpretation of the law by a special committee of the Civil Service Reform Association of Phila- delphia, Secretary Samuel B. Scott for the Reform association has issued the following statement: “The paying of the poll tax for anoth- er is now clearly forbidden by law, and under the terms of the new ‘cor- rupt practice act’ the person or com- mittee who attempts it will be liable to a heavy penalty. The act defines ‘election expenses,’ including ‘all ex- penditures of money or other valuable thing in furtherance of the nomination of any person or public office, or to de- feat the nomination or election to pub- lic office of any person or persons.’ Since the purchase of tax receipts for others is done for no other purpose than in furtherance the election of some person to public office, any money spent in this way comes clearly under the head of election expenses.” MEANS MUCH.
