Wanamaker Sought by Pennsylvania Republicans for Governor
A Philadelphia conference of about 400 Republicans urged John Wanamaker to run for governor in the fall election, denouncing Senator Quay and “the current corrupt state politics.” Wanamaker, in a letter from Ossabaw Island, Georgia, said he does not seek public office and suggested several alternative names. The group adopted a platform calling for an end to machine control and endorsing Wanamaker or other acceptable candidates, while urging defeat of the present senator in re election.
