Bellefonte, Pa., October 7, 1910. AA STATI Grim Will Not Withdraw. Is Firm in Purpose of Fulfilling Party Obligations. Nine very estimable and influential gentlemen, citizens of Philadelphia, have addressed an open letter to Web- ster Grim, the Democratic nominee for governor, and William H. Berry, the candidate of the Keystone Party for the same office, asking them to with- draw “in favor of a candidate whom both parties could concentrate upon.” The writers of the letter are said to be independent Republicans who have thus far taken no part in the present campaign, but are unalterably opposed to the Penrose machine. They profess to believe that with the vote of the opposition to the machine divided be- tween Grim and Berry the success of the machine candidate is assured. The day the letter was made pub- lic Mr. Berry was in Harrisburg and privately stated to his friends that “under no circumstances would he withdraw.” That evening, at a session of the executive committee of his par- ty, held in the Bellevue-Stratford ho- tel, Philadelphia, a letter was read by the chairman of the committee, signed by Mr. Berry, in which he prac- tically said that he is willing to with- draw if the executive committee of _ LOCAL CASE IN POINT Williamsport Sun Proves Accuracy of Senator Grim's Criticism. Senator Grim, Democratic candidate for governor, in his speech at Meyers dale the other evening, pointed out an iniquitous feature of the present me- thod of state road building that has a pertinent illustration of fact in the Mifflin township road, in this county. Mr. Grim said: “The method of allowing contractors extras for changed plans and specifi- cations on roads should be abolished. Last year over a quarter of a inillion dollars, or one-twelfth of the whole amount appropriated, was paid to con- tractors for extras upon the decree of one man, and the counties and town- ships were obliged to bear their share of expense without any recourse.” The attempt made by the same highway department to ignore the con- tract specifications for the Mifilin township road is still fresh in the pub- lic mind, as is also the fact that the change in construction upon that road has increased the price nearly $3000, this, too, in the face of the luxuriant price that is being paid for the road- way built even according to the origi his party favored that course and Mr. Grim would follow his example. Of | course his statement in Harrisburg expressed his real sentiments, and | that contained in his letter to Chair man Hicks was for the consumption of the public. Senator Grim, upon hearing of the letter, promptly and emphatically de- clared that he will not withdraw. “Nothing is further from my heart and purpose,” he said. “I never entertained such an idea.” Subsequently he recelv- ed hundreds of telegrams and letters urging him to remain on the ticket. He was fairly nominated and is justly entitied to the support of his party. No well informed citizen can set up the excuse that he doesn't know the Democratic nominee. He has served eight years in the senate and been a leader in every movement for legisla- tive reform. Any man who doesn’t know Grim is unfamiliar with the pub- lic life of the commonwealth, for he | has been an ornament in it. Besides, Webster Grim is the nomi- | nal specifications. to “experiment” with new materiai. © The faults cad failures of the state | highway department have been of long standing, and so egregious a na- ture, that the Republican administra tion has no ground for excuse for not having long since directed its course The high handed methods of the state highway depart- ment—against which is charged the game of politics—was shown in the fact that the people were not consult ed in the change made in the road's construction and when public atten- tion was drawn to the radical depar- ture from specifications the reason was given that the department desired The Dear Old Frauds boys’ band was particularly dis- Flour and Feed.

It is right that the political machine governing the affairs of Penn- sylvania should be held responsible for the shortcomings of the highway department, and the Miflin township incident in our own community serves as an illuminating case in point as tending to show the things at which , Senator Grim was striking.

It rep- resents principles and its purpose is to give force and effect to those princi ples. A political organization with no higher mission than to beat some in- dividual or group of individuals would not be worth preserving and certainly wouldn't endure as the Democratic party has endured from the foundation | of the government. The party has’ commissioned Mr. Grim to represent it | in thie crucial pericd in the political | life of the state, and to fail of the ful- fillment of that obligation would be recreancy, and Webster Grim is not a ' recreant. ; William H. Berry, on the other hand, is the nominee of no party, though he is the candidate of a contingent of un- | certain quantity. He was named by half a dozen persons, two of whom, ! John O. Sheatz and J. Heber Clarke, | have already abandoned him. Raising ' Mr. Berry to the level of a real candi- | date, under such circumstances, would | be a real distinction. But he has no | intention of thus immolating himself. | He is running for governor in obed!- | ence to his insatiable thirst for office, | and he would accept the nomination ; of any party or combination of men. | If the Keystone Party had not nomi | nated him he probably wouldn't have supported the party. He cares less for principle than for patronage. i If the nine estimable gentlemen are really anxious to prevent a division’ of the reform vote at the coming elec- tion they can contribute to that result in a much more practical way than | will result not only in giving the Dem- ocratic gubernatorial nominee a rec- ord-breaking vote, but also in sending a Democrat to the senate to succeed . Mr. Grim, the Penrose machine lead- ers are using threats to intimidate the citizens of Bucks county. The voters have been notified that unless a Re publican is chosen to succeed Grim in | the senate, a reapportionment of sen- atorial lines will be made by the next legislature and the district made Re- publican. This they propose to do by joining Bucks with some Republican county adjoining. The threat, which was carried to the people of Bucks county by Congress man Wanger in the interests of the Penrose machine, has already reacted | against the Republican gang. Bucks | county has been stirred from end to end by this cowardly attempt at in- timidation and the voters have served notice on the corrupt Republican com- bination that every man proposes now to take his coat off for Senator Grim and the whole Democratic ticket. At the same time they defy Penrose to carry out his threat. Bucks county was originally a Re- publican district, but the candidacy of Mr. Grim for the state senate eight years ago orought it into the Demo- cratic column. Republicans and Demo- crats joinea in his support and sent him to the senate for two terms. He served his constituents so well that Bucks county has been swinging to the Democratic column to the chagrin of Republican leaders.

His public record is an open book and a radiant page of achievement in the interest of good government. Why should such a | man be humiliated or aspersed? i The division of the vote of citizens | who are opposed to the Penrose ma- chine is unfortunate beyond question. ! But there is no necessity for such | division of forces. Every fair-minded man, irrespective of past political af- | filiation, can vote for Webster Grim | without the least reservation or stul- | tification. He represents no special in- | terest and is the creature of no boss | or group of bosses. He is an able, con- | scientious and courageous public ser-' vant and will be faithful to the people in whatever station he is placed. If any citizen desires to promote civic righteousness in the election of a gov- ernor of Pennsylvania this year, he may achieve the result by voting for Webster Grim. !

[From the Doylestown Democrat.] Unmistakably Senator Grim has gained ground during the past week in the gubernatorial fight, and just as unmistakably Mr. Berry and Mr. Tener have both lost ground. The Keystone Party last week lost the active co-op- eration of two of its leading support. ers, Charles Heber Clarke and former State Treasurer John O. Sheatz. Both were organ'zers of the party they have now deserted. Mr. Clark gives a spe- cial reason for his withdrawal. Mr. Sheatz gives no reasons, and it can safely be assumed that his retirement is caused by general disgust over the movement. In fact he states that it had been his intention to withdraw soon after the nominations were made. The time for beginning preparations to get out the vote on election day is now here and every Democrat should give the matter attention. The last day for the payment of taxes is next | Saturday, October 8, and when that | day closes there ought not to be a Democratic delinquent in the entire state. After that the matter of get- ing the voters to the polls is to be con- sidered and every Democratic voter ought to be got to the polls. If pre parations for the election are made on those lines Webster Grim will be the next governor of Pennsylvania no matter how many votes are cast for | other candidates. subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise nnknown.' “If the bust is lost, broken or spolied. so much the better for me,” be con- tinues. “They will speak of the ‘lost Bernard Shaw of Rodin,’ as today they speak of the lost Athens of Phidias. | Nothing can be more beautiful than the statues which no one ever saw. | Therefore I have done all that is neces- 1 cau get along without ban- | The Unreality of Opera.
