MVRKLE-HARDEK COMPANY THIS
WEEK
This will be one of the busiest weeks
of the season at the Majestic Theater,
and the reason for it all is the engage
ment of that immensely popular or
ganization, the Myrkle-Harder Com
pany, in a list of plays that are by far
the most striking that have ever been
presented by any stock company at
popular prices. Each season this splen
did company of players gains In popu
larity. and judging from the manner in
which theatergoers are purchasing
tickets for the entire week, it will be a
record-breaking one. All morning long
preparations were being made and
stage employes were kept busy arrang
ing the details of the production and
early this afternoon a long line was in
front of the Majestic Theater box office
seeking entrance to the opening per
formance of "Elevating a Husband."
which is also the bill for to-night.
This is Louis Mann's famous comedy,
in which he appeared successfully for
nearly a year in New York. To-night
It is possible to see It for one-third the
price and those intending to be present
should not delay for a moment in se
curing tickets. To-morrow, matinee
and night, another unusual treat is In
store when "The Girl of the Golden
West" will be offered and It will be re
membered that this is the play that
really made Belasco's name famous as
one of the greatest living theatrical
producers. Seats are now on sale for
the entire week at the Majestic box
office, and owing to the big demand for
tickets, telephone reservations will not
be held later than 1 o'clock for the
matinee and 7 o'clock for evening per
formances. —Advertisement.

Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh
Is True Progressive
fFrom the Public Ledger.]
To the Editor of the Public Ledger: |
Sir—When Dr. Martin G. FJrumbaugh, now Republican candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania by the choice of a mighty host at the primaries,
alter having served with brilliant distinction as the lirst Commissioner of
Education of Porto Kico. under Presidents McKinley and Koosevelt, tendered
his resignation to the latter, he received a telegram from him earnestly re
questing him to continue in that honored and responsible position. Evidently
President Koosevelt knew full well that it would be impossible for him to ap
point anyone as his successor who would possesss in a higher degree all those
qualities of mind and heart which are so essential in a public official,
whether at home or ns a representative of the Government in one of the pos
sessions, where naturally the official stands, to such a large degree, as typify
ing the Gocvernment In general.
This circumstance should not be lost sight of by the voters throughout
the Keystone State at the forthcoming election. In the confusion of issues
there Is danger that a grave injustice may be done by some of the sincere and
honest voters, simply because they do not stop to thing seriously that it is not
right that Dr. Brumbaugh should be linked up with any other candidate whom
it is the desire of either ex-President Roosevelt or any one else to oppose.
Dr. Rrumbaugh has made It as clear as anyone possibly could that he stands
for everything that Is for the welfare of the people of this State, including
also all that was really meritorious in the platforms of the progressive or so
called Washington party. * » ♦
The fact that Dr. Brumbaugh, if elected Governor of Pennsylvania, which
he undoubtedly will be by an overwhelming majority, will stand forth as one
of the most conspicuous Presidential possibilities, of course should act as an
added Incentive for every Republican and Presslve alike to not only vote for
him, but also to see that the real issues are neither beclouded nor confused.
EDWARD NEWTON HAAG.
330-332 Drexel Building, Philadelphia, October 21, 1914..
[DR. BRUMBAUGH'S SPONSOR AND MR. M'CORMICK'S)
HON. JOHN WANAMAKER'S let
ter indorsing 1 Doctor Brumbaugh
contains some significant phrases.
He says: "It is unbelievable that the
tendency of everything is downward,
when a man distinguished all his life
in his home State and throughout the
world as an educator of children to a
sphere of good citizenship, whose rec
ord in the past and present has only
the pure white lines in it, who from
first to last has been like a candle con
suming itself in lighting the way for
others to he led to the right path, can
be set aside as having departed from
his principles and those of his fore
fathers by the unsubstantiated attacks
of vindictive newspapers, or self
seeking candidates on other party
tickets, who are only aiming to seek
personal control or franchises which
properly belong to the people of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania." Then
again: "I know Doctor Brumbaugh to
be through and through, from first to
last, one of the good Republicans of
our Commonwealth, such a man as
would lend luster to any State; the
kind of man every State is looking
for."
Place this statement, uttered by one
who has been enabled to observe his
man critically for twenty-live years,
alongside the abuse heaped upon
Doctor Brumbaugh by Colonel Roose
velt. As late as September 14 Colonel
Roosevelt advised strongly against the
withdrawal of Dean Lewis, and was
prepared to enter the State to turn his
batteries against Vance MeCormick
and Doctor Brumbaugh, the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates, in
favor of Mr. Lewis. But he says:
"Mr. Fllnn took the other view." Not
withstanding the position of Mr.
Pinchot, Mr. Lewis and Colonel Roose
velt, Mr. Flinn carried his point.
Mr. Fllnn, in a letter to the Public
Ledger dated October 25, says that his
firm of municipal contractors has done
at least two-thirds of the public con
tracts that the city of Pittsburgh has
awarded under various administrations
in the past twenty-five years and "in
no case did we secure a contract on
which we were not the lowest bidder,
with one exception, which was the
reduction of the Hump, the famous
Hump contract, which was awarded by
the last city administration." These
arc Mr. Flinn's own words. He writes
again: "Fifteen per cent, of the busi
ness of Booth & Fllnn, Ltd. (Mr.
Flinn's company), is done for the city
of Pittsburgh." Then he adds: "The
Public Service Commission of New
York has awarded Booth & Fllnn, Ltd.
(Mr. Flinn's company), during the
past six months $18,000,000 in con
tracts."
COLONIAL
Dispensing with the morning and
early evening picture performances,
the Colonial to-day really inaugurates
its big opening' as a popular priced vau
deville theater. There will be no show
whatever until 2 o'clock, when the doors
open for the first vaudeville perform
ance, which will begin at 2:30. One
complete performance of four Keith
acts and the usual program of first run
licensed films will be shown in the af
ternoon. At Its close the playhouse will
again be dark until 6:30 in the evening.
From 7 o'clock on there will be two
complete perform o ""°B and those com
ing in late on the first show will be
privileged to remain over into the sec
ond, as before.

senting a decidedly laughable and
clever comedy called "Dooiey and the
Diamond," head the vaudeville festivi

same bill and clever Rita Rediield, who
has won many friends in Harrisburg

Alan, Rose and Barcus lose them
selves from those aboard Trine's spec

With the hope of securing horses,
they hail a horseman named Hopl Jim,
a half-breed, and general bad man. He
directs the party to Mesa. Arriving
here, Alan purchases three saddle
horses and a trail outfit.
When Trine's special arrives at the

anil goes into conference with her
father and Marrophat. While this is
roing on llopi Jim proceeds to hold
up the party. Trine manages to secure
his services to pursue Alan. Kose and
Barcus. Hopl has been casting longing
eyes toward Judith. Judith, to exas
perate Marrophat, encourages the half
breed.
It is dawn when Trine's party ar
rives at Mesa. Alan hears them com
ing and rouses Barcus and Rose. They
steal down the back stairs and escape.
When Judith, Marrophat, Hop! und
Texas, the latter a friend of Hopi's,
break in the door, they find they have
drawn a blank. Rushing out, the mount
their horses and give chase. Judith's
party, having gained on their victims,

NOVEMBER 2, 1914.
We have here tlie contrast. Mr.
Wanamaker, who has been in the po
sition, both as a member of the Board
of Education and in his religious and
public-spirted work, to come into close
personal contact with Doctor Brum
baugh, has observed him in action,
both official and unofficial, pays this
tribute to his integrity, his character,
his ability, his inflexible will and his
superb equipment.
Air. Plinn, who is now carrying out
$18,000,000 of contracts from Tam
many-controlled New York city, who
confesses that he has executed two
thirds of the' public contracts for the
city of Pittsburgh in the past twenty
live years, a period which embraces its
most degrading years of municipal
obliquity, forced against the wishes of
Colonel Roosevelt, of Mr .Lewis him
self and of Mr. Plnehot the withdrawal
of Mr. Lewis in favor of Mr. McCor
mick, who is to-day Dr. Brumbaugh's
sole competitor for the gubernatorial
nomination.
The mere presentation of these facts
carries its own convincing argument.
Mr. McOormick. whether willingly
or unwillingly, i a participant in the
political trick. Mr. McOormick, wheth
er willingly or unwillingly, gained his
nomination by the expenditure of over
$30,000, and is to-day being heavily
taxed by his party. Mr. McCormick
willingly has become a candidate of
Mr. Flinn for Governor of Pennsylva
nia, and publicly acknowledged his ob
ligation to Mr. Flinn in his speech of
acceptance at Harrisburg when Mr.
Flinn give him the nomination.
Martin G. Brumbaugh became the
candidate for governor In a free pri
mary, untramineled, without promise,
without even sanction of ihe bosses of
the Republican party, lie expended
no money to secure the nomination.
He received the nomination at the
hands of more than one-quarter of a
million Republican voters. Not one
flaw can be found in his record. His
whole life, his whole character is an
open book. He has had experience
as an administrator. He has had ex
perience as an executive. His ability
is surpassed by no man in the State,
his reputation is beyond reproach. He
is forceful, able, courageous, firm and
yet gentle, human in every respect. It
is a privilege that men of the caliber
of Martin G. Brumbaugh will submit
to the pains, indignities, sacrifices
which candidacy for public oifice en
tails. It is a service to the State when
such as he enters a contest, the result
of which will be to the enduring repu
tation of himself and to the everlast
ing credit of the Commonwealth.

STOUGH IS PLEASED
WITH PREPARATIONS
FOR BIG CAMPAIGN
Confident of Good Results; Cele
brate "Home Night" Next
Friday Evening
"I ain greatly pleased at the pre
parations for the campaign in Harris
burs, both physical and spiritual," said
Dr. Henry W. Stough this morning
when asked about the outlook for th«
revival that opened yesterday. "I feel
that Harrisburg is on the eve of the
greatest religious awakening in its his
tory. The prayer meetings, the atti
tude of the churches, the willingness
of the local workers and the publicity
given by the newspapers have prepar
ed the city in a marvelous way that
makes me very optimistic. Every
member of the party has expressed
the same opinion to me."
One of the party said that the gen
eral attitude of a town can be felt on
the llrst day of a campaign by Indi
cations that the party can detect by a
sort of "sixth sense" they have de
veloped by their long experience in
evangelistic work.
Party Confers Tills Morning:
A conference was held at noon to
day by the members of the party at
the residence, 210 Pine street for per
sonal discussion of the work of the
six weeks campaign. The details of
the local field and the types of work to
be done by each member of the party
was gone over with Dr. Stough.
Next Friday night will be "Homo
Night" when Dr. Stough will preach
his famous sermon, on "Home Makers
and Home Breakers."
Ordinarily Dr. Stough does not an
nounce the subject of his sermon for
each service. It was explained by one
of his party that he seldom knows
in advance what he will talk of and
decides only after he reaches the plat
form and judge the attitude of the
audience. He has an extensive re
pertoire and can call up any of his
subjects for immediate delivery as ho
senses the feeling of the crowd.
Rockefeller Millions
For Sufferers' Relief
By .Associated Press
New York, Nov. 2.—To lose no tirno
in» carrying out its decision anounced
yesterday to help the destitute non
combatants in Europe with the Rocke
feller millions, the Rockefeller Foun
dation was engrossed to-day with plans
for getting the rst relief ship away
to-morrow and Immediately sending
its own eommissoin to Europe to di
rect further work.
This is the first time that the Rocke
feller foundation, whose endowment is
1100,000,000, has undertaken charit
able work in such direct and wholesale
way; its philanthropic heretofore hav
ing been concerned mainly with work
along scientific lines. The first move
in esnding a relief ship to Europe im
mediately involves an outlay of $275.-
000 and from the announcement of

donation ever made for war relief.

Arraigned on Plea «
of Guilty, Prisoner
Didn't Say a Word
Arraigned before Additional Law
Judge McCarrell, this afternoon, to
plead guilty to a charge of question
able conduct in which several pretty
factory girls were the complainants.
Howard Arnold was literally—rather
than figuratively—speechless.
Incidentally Arnold couldn't hear
anything about it so that In addition to
having nothing to say for himself he
couldn't listen to the things that As
sitant District Attorney Robert T. Fox
asid about him.
So the Assistant District Attorney
just wrote all his questions, all the
Court's questions and all the witnesses'
statements —and Arnold read them and
wrote the replies.
And when Judge McCarrell directed
that sentence be suspended and that
Arnold be placed under Probation Of
ficer James T. Walters' care —Deputy
Prothonotary Elmer E. Erb had to let
the prisoner read and write his answers
in giving bond.
Arnold is deaf and dumb.

McCORMICK AM) LIQUOR
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
How long lias Vance C. McCormick
possessed such a hatred against the
liquor interests as he has professed
time and again during the present cam
i paign? If I remember correctly, he
sold advertising space in his paper in
■ unlimited quantities to liquor manufac
turers. ana accepted their money for
same, vear after year, from the time he
purchased The Patriot until a few
months before he announced his eandl
dacy for Governor, and made local op
tion a part of his platform. Is It pos
sible that in this particular Instance
1 lie was shrewd enough to foresee one of
the glaring Inconsistencies which have
featured his campaign?
