Tho Grand Old Party in the Keystone Com¬ monwealth will be first In the Union to reorganize. Judge John Sidney Fine of tho Common Pleas Court of Luzerne County has been drawn from the thinning ranks of leadership and to him has been proposed accept¬ ance of the role of Generalissimo. M. Harvey Taylor, his strategy proved futile and his genius for new Ideas entirely run out, is pre¬ pared to step back into the lines of secondary attack to permit John Fine to become Pennsylvania Chairman of the Republicans. What Does It .>Iean7 If Judge Fine accepts the pro¬ motion to State command of the G. O. P., what are the implications.' There are several of them. First, the Republican Party in Pennsyl¬ vania admits it is al the end of the rope by whicii ils great finan¬ ciers, merchant princes and manu¬ facturers bound the Keystone elec¬ torate to the shriveled but still expansive neck of the G. O. P. elephant. There has been decision that the political line shall not be¬ come the rope of the hangman. The State Repubhcan Commit¬ tee of Pennsylvania demands that Judge Fine shall step up to the platform, lift the gavel clumsily wielded by M. Harvey Taylor and use it as some kind of magic wand by which the dissipated legions shall be called back to the old standards. The first result of the draft is tp banish the discredited and bring into new power at least one of the men who demonstrated ability in the face of tremendous odds. Would Quit The Bench Secondary to the withdrawal of the princes of privilege and the economic royalists is the setting up of a sacrifice. Judge Fine, if he accepts the State chairmanship of the G. O. P., must resign from the Common Pleas Bench in Luzerne County, retire from his previous determination to be a candidate for re-election. That would be real sacrifice for Judge Fine, according to his Lu¬ zerne County following. A second One of the most dangerous curves in Narrows Road, a section near Spur Gas Station, where a slight elevation and rough stretch necessi¬ tate constant vigil from motorists, wai the scene of the crash be¬ tween a car driven by Thomas Kirby and another operated by Willard Durbin jr. It was a head- on collision. Tha mlle-and-a-half stretch Is posted with 20-mile speed-limit signa by Larksville police, who patrol the highway, although it la a State road.

The quake cen- comment that "if the quake had centered on land great damage would have resulted." The tremors, at 9:18 a. m., were felt In Tokyo.

Willard Durbin, driver of the car coming from Plymouth, is a son of George J. Durbin, Plymouth pharmacist. Catherine MacLean Is a granddaughter of R. R. VanHorn, vice president of Luzerne County Gas & Electric Company. Mrs. Harriet Durbin is a daughter of R. R. VanHorn. The Durbins were returning from a Christmas party given in Alliance Hall by the gas and electric company, and the MacLean girl was to be their guest for a few days. Miss Semanek and Miss Bitsko were being driven home from their work at the hospital, by Kirby and Finan, when, according to reports, their car met the Durbin machine at the turn. A court case is re¬ ported pending. Catherine Mac- Lean and Mrs. Harriet Durbin are in improved condition and Thomas Kirby still is in a serious condi¬ tion, all patients in Nesbitt Memo¬ rial Hospital age in which Fine came to the front on the sponsors ip of Gover¬ nor Gifford Pinchot, So, If Judge Fine is to relinquish quire from Pennsylvania's Republi¬ can Party a salary of no less than fifteen thousand dollars a year, the assurance of a long term of con¬ trol, and, perhaps, even greater rewards. One of them may be to be called to accept the office of Gov¬ ernor if the G. O. P. strategy suc¬ ceeds in convincing the State elec¬ torate that th? former bosses of the formerly unbeatable organiza¬ tion have really retired and that younger minds have established new guidance with wholesome con¬ sideration of the economic changea that have taken place since the beginning national New Deal. A Let-Down in Luierne Third in the effects would be the one that would completely upset the apple-cart of Luzerne County's Court House Organization. With Judge Fine previously accepted as a candidate to succeed himself on the Bench and earn the State pen¬ sion 80 generously bestowed on tho judicial veterans there was exactly the same understanding for Judge Clarence D. Coughlin. Stricken ill during his first regular term he haa been considered as physically fit for judicial duties but far from tha strength that would be required to nicet the demands of a hard elec¬ tion campaign. Judge Coughlin was Congress¬ man of Luzerne County when John Fine was a struggling lawyer. Friendly sponsors of the youthful barrister, just home from the World War, won for him a desk in the Coughlin law offices nnd it was Coughlin who saw to his be¬ ginnings in practice. The original sponsors carried on the political campaign while the Coughlin in¬ fluence and law practice saw to the economic well-being of the coming political leader. So, from lawyer pals the two became Inseparable as judges, the nucleus of the influence which, with the aid of the Honorable Benjamin R. Jones, stands supreme In county affairs. If Judge Fine resigns the Bench, relinquishes his previous desire to succeed himself; and, if he goes to State headquarters to reorganize the Republican Party in Pennsyl¬ vania as John D. M. Hamilton i» attempting to reorganize it in the United States, what about Judge Coughlin? Two New Candidates The answer to the question is • supposition: Supporters of Judge Coughlin had been aware of efforta to side-track him. The jurist's own inability to move freely among hia partisans and enter the councils of the mighty became a tremend¬ ous handicap to his re-nomination. But, Judge Fine dictates nomina¬ tions in Luzerne County. Remain¬ ing there as a candidate for second-term judge he could also make Coughlin his running-mate, Coughlin is considered the best mind on the Luzerne Bench. Coughlin supporters believe that the opportunity to achieve a second ' if Judge Fine takes the helm of term and a big pension, he will rc- (Continued On Page A-8.)
