Wanamaker's Senate bid faces big city backlash
Philadelphia readers see a fierce senatorial tussle between the Wanamaker machine and reformers led by Hors Penrose. Critics charge paid news bureaus, church pressure, and political manipulation aim to push Wanamaker into the Senate, while alternatives like Boies Penrose and J Hay Brown are praised as capable Republicans. The piece notes Wanamaker’s past contract labor fine and potential conflicts as a large importer wielding influence.
