Beacom and McCauley Favored in State Convention
Harrisburg next week will host 363 delegates as McKinley’s vote boost swells the tally.

Shindle’s York County votes could shift if he exits, while Beacom’s base in many counties remains solid. The Business Men's League may endorse Allegheny’s choice and Elkin seeks re election. Prominent gubernatorial candidates set up at Lochiel Hotel as GOP convention expectations rise.
