Pennsylvania Democrats back Dill ticket in strong showing
The Pittsburgh nominations feature Andrew A. Dill for governor and John Fertig for lieutenant governor with J. Simpson Africa as secretary of internal affairs and Henry P. Ross as supreme judge. The Democratic ticket gains oil men and Greenback support, while Labor and third parties show weak signals. Cart Tonkin, a Warren County delegate, endorses Dill and the ticket. The Philadelphia Record notes party roundly energized but warns a Greenback challenge may fade before election day.
