A sodden wreck of n. man shuirieit along
the river front nnd wondered how long
It took to drown. I to had hail a Ions
fight sslth John Barleycorn unit he hail
lost. He had nothing tn live for. Jtc had
lost everything he had to loe. family,
friends, business and health. The whisk
had even taken away his appetite for
food, and now he could not even Ret
whisky. So he nerved himself and crept
closer to the bulkhead. The waves mur
mured Invitingly.
A laborer on his way to work noticed
the loiterer and Intercepted him. There
was a short conversation and the two
went off together. They turned In at ill
Lombard street-old St. Paul's Club-ami
the man to whom death had called was
put to bed. Then, in the brutally dura
parlance of the street, he "went to the
mat."
This is almost an everyday occurrence
at Old St. Paul's. Sometimes oven one of
the 18 beds in the Institution Is occupied,
and none but Inebriates are admitted.
The club might be called the house of the
last chance. Its nvocd object Is to give
to the man who has lost everything, who
has given up the fight ucaln.n liquor,

October 3 will be the only other
registration day.
Registrars will sit in every poll

and from 4 p. m. to 10 p. m.
Enrollment under a party name
is not necessary.
Poll tax or property tax receipts

qualify elector for registration.
Poll tax receipts may be bought
from the division registrars, if the

sessor's list.
I'nolllrlnl registration returns made to
the headquarters of the various partlc
at noon today indicated that the regis- I

each man four chances before It classes j the registration seemed to exceed con

the first, second or third time after the
club has "put him on his feet" his spon
sor is bound hv his pledge to bring
him hack. Putting a man on his feet
at Old St. Paul' means Just that He
is fed iind tared for until ho Is able to
work. Then a iob is obtained for him and
he is kept until his first paydar.
The club was founded five years agr
and Is said to be the only Institution of
Its kind In this country. Without endow

are no stated dues. Hach member eon

No questions are asked and anything is

day last year, still It was far below that
of September 3.
Harry Wlttlif, chairman of the Kepub
llcan City Committee, said he believed
the total registration for today would
not exceed 0.0 ". He was confident that
the Hepubllcan paity enrollment would
continue proportionately as high as it
was September 3.
The heaviest registration this morning
was In the northern and northeastern
sections of th city. In South and West
Philadelphia the registration officials had
a comparatively easy time.
All parties are uwake to the Importance
of a large registration for this November
election. Among the tcform leaders the
slogan today Is "For the defeat of Pen
rose a large registration." In conse
quence of this, every effort has been
made by the ward workers to impress on
each elector the fact that his vote Is
vital to the political welfare of Penn

Francis A. Lewis, Sr., who Is also prom

"We must have a large registration, since
a large registration menus n danger sig
nal fur the organization, which in this
election is equivalent to Penroseism."
Division registrars will sit In every
polling place in the city today from 7 a
m. to 10 a. in., and from 4 p. m. to 10
p m. Every citizen to register must dis
play a receipt for poll or property tax paid
since November 3. 1913. These receipts may
be bought at the polling places from the
registrar, who has been appointed a deputy
tax collector.
Naturalization papers or a certified copy
of them will bo necessary for the regis
tration of any naturalized citizen who is
-oting in a division for the first tlm. Any
person -lalmlng citizenship by reason of
his father's naturalization must produce
his father's papers or a certified copy of
them, or else make affidavit that he was
under 21 when his father became a citizen
nnd that he is now unable to produce his

in this cltv was IM.RM, in 1911. whn

The importance of this election, both
from Hie point of offices to be tilled and

party leaders to express the hope that the
total registration this year will exceed

MAINE DEMOCRATIC
BY 2698 AFTER
EXCITING CONTEST
Curtis Defeats Governor
Haines and His Party
Wins Legislature Three
of the Four Congressmen
Republicans.
PORTLAND. Maine. Sent. 15. Tn one
of tho closest elections tho Stato has ever
known, the Democrats vcslcrday elected
Oakley C. Curtis Governor. Tho several
thousands of voters who supported
Ilooscvclt In the 1912 election flocked to
the polls yesterday to back tho Repub
lican ticket, but thclf number was not
snotigh to down tho Dcmocrnts.
Owlrg to the exceeding closeness of
tho vote no one could be at all confi
dent of the result until the last ballot
had been counted. The returns from alt
the cities, towns and plantations gave
Ciirth', Democrat, 5S.S77; William T.
Unities, Hepubllcan, SC.179, and Gardner,
Progressive, 17,147; Curtis' plurality, 23S.
Tho four Congressmen, Asher U Hinds,
John A. Peters and Frank H. Guernsey,
Itcpubllcnns, nnd Daniel J. McGllllcuddy,
Democrat, were rc-cloctcd, according to
the same returns as those received In the
governorship contest. The missing towns
are too small to change the count, al
I though tho plurality may bo reduced
somewhat.
The returns indicate that tho Demo
crats havo made gains in tho Lcglslatuie.
The representative dlhtrlcts reporting
have elected IG Democrats, 12 Itopubllcans
and 2 Progressives, just the tevorsal of
the Democratic and Hepubllcan count of
two years ago, while tho Progressives at
that time reported three. Tho Senate ap
pears to be about the same as two years

up of "1 Republicans, S2 Democrats and

BRUMBAUGH STANDS
SQUARELY ON PLEDGE
MADE TO PEOPLE
Republican Candidate for
Governor Refuses to Be a
Party to Political Bargain
or Treachery. ,
PITTSBURGH, Sept. lf,.-Dr. Mnrtn j
Brumbaugh, Republican candidate f0
Governor, this morning Issued tho follow
Ins stntement In reply to tho offer of th
Philadelphia North Amorlcan to support
him lf ho would repudiate Penroseism.
"My attention has beon called to a let
tor addressed to mo nnd appearing n
newspaper. I havo had no copy of this
sent me.
"In this lotler It appears that the writer
under the nssuranco of a proffered sup!
port to me, seeks an excuse to glvo sup
port to tho opposition. Kach one has
perfect right In this campaign to follow
whatever guldanco ho may select, but I
absolutely lofuso to be made a party la
any political bargain or treachery.
"It scenm that some people are unabl
to understand tho Inngunge in my pr.
mary platform. I Infer this from a
stittcmont of the editor that even he
trained In tho use of language, finds my
statements vague and Indellnlte. It L
hownver, comforting that the vutcrs gen
erally scorned to understand my lang
uage and comprehend my motives. To
make clear my position in the several
matters referred to In tho letter abovi
cited, 1 wish to say:
"First. I stand for every statement In
my primary platform. I shall use my
best endeavor to keep faith with th
people. The things I stand for 1 shall
continue to stnnd for nnd work for.
"Second. I have no understanding with
anybody to do or not to do anything In
any wny at any time In this campaign
while In olllce. I know no boss. I never
will. Kven a newspaper cnmiot boss me.
My hands are open, my henrt is free,
my mind holds no political promise. I
hnve one unswerving purpose to live ,
with my conscience whether I hold ofllct
or not.
"Thltd. T have declared for local option
nnd stand by that declaration. I havo
assured people In a score of utterance
that I shall do all I honorably can to
promote legislation favoring local option.
What more can an honest man say or
do?"
"Fourth. I havo always been a friend
of childhood. I havo given my life In'
a lnrge wny to conserve nnd promote the
strength, the education the moral wcl
fine of all our people. I have had many
years of practical experience In dcalln?
with the labor ot children In this State.
N'o man has had a larger or more sacred
relation to tho problem. I refer to my
record. 1 shall allow no one, even !n
academic discussion, to stnnd more surely
for the best possible legislation for all
our woikers, men, women nnd children.
"As n teacher I have found it necessary
at times to repeat what has already been
stated. Some pupils learn only after
such repetitions. Somo refuso to learn
even then, because they are resolved not
to do so. "
"In tho Mny primaries So.l.ooo people ot
Pennsylvania, nil legally qualified voters,
gave me their support as a candidate on
th" Hepubllcan ticket. I carry their
brief. 1 shall do so to the end. The ottwr
Itepubllcan candidates also carry a direct
brief from the people who supported them
nt the primary. I shall lend myself to no
leader or group or faction of an sort.
As I hnvo from the outset. I shall to tin
last go steadily on In my firm determina
tion to glvo the people of Pennsylvania
clein, capable and conscientious admin
istration of the ofllee to which I hope th
voters in November will elect me
