THOMAS A. LOGUE

Sudden Death of Thomas A. Logue
Former Secretary of Internal Affairs Expired Suddenly in Philadelphia

  Thomas A. Logue, Secretary of Internal Affairs during the administration of 
Governor George H. Earle, died unexpectedly early last Thursday morning at his 
home in Philadelphia.  He had returned from a business trip to Harrisburg the 
previous day and was stricken in his bed, Wednesday night.
  He was aged 47 and had been prominent in Democratic politics for a quarter of 
a century.  He was one of the most efficient and popular members of the Earle 
administration.  He is survived by his wife and four children.
  One of the first to send condolence was his successor in office, William S. 
Livengood, Jr., who defeated Logue when he was a candidate for re-election in 
1938.  In his message of condolence, Livengood termed him "a kindly, courteous 
gentleman, with a keen, appreciation of the responsibility entailed by public 
service.
  Logue's death created a vacancy in the Pennsylvania delegation to the 
Democratic national convention which will be filled by Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, 
sister of U.S. Senator Joseph F. Guffey.  Mrs. Miller, Democratic national 
committeewoman, automatically replaced Logue as the ranking alternate delegate 
at large.
