Capitol Whirl in Pennsylvania Politics and Poll Responses
Governor George H. Earle accuses the state chamber of commerce of bias after its poll on constitutional revision shows 13 percent for and 87 percent against. Chamber president Ernest J. Poole cites procedural details but withholds member numbers. Governor and GOP leaders trade taunts as Lawrence and Taylor clash in public letters. The upcoming Senate action on Earle’s trustees is expected to be a gesture rather than a real reversal. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court previously ruled on immediate replacement of denied appointees.
