Liberal Man 10 Be Advanced In November Voting
Philadelphia May 22 Announcement that a coalition liberal candidate for Governor would enter the November race against Gifford Pinchot was made by Robert K. Cassatt chair of the Pennsylvania division of the Association against the prohibition amendment. Cassatt said the new candidate would not be Thomas W. Phillips Jr of Butler who sought the Republican nomination on an anti prohibition platform at the Tuesday primary. Pinchot’s lead over Francis Shunk Brown for the Republican nomination grew as returns trickled in from rural districts. Unofficial figures from most districts gave Pinchot a decisive plurality, potentially upending the Vare organization’s control if confirmed. Brown was the organization’s chosen candidate for statewide offices except for a few, including Secretary of Labor James J. Davis who defeated Senator Joseph R. Grundy for the Senate nomination.
