Palmer-McCormick League
Calls on All Voters to
Qualify Table to Show
Work in 1913 Prepared.
Alive to tlio necessity for a record
registration on October 3 to defeat Pen
rose, the 1'Aliner-McCormlck Leoguo has
had prepared a table showing by wards
tli6 number of assessed citizens In 1913,
the number who registered on the three
days, and the number who entirely
neglected their right of suffrage Inst
jcar of falling to tcglstcr nnd vote. The
jabtc will be used In an effort to bring
out every unregistered citizen on the last
registration clay, October 3.
1'Thc defeat of Penrose hinges to a
great degree upon n very large regis
tration on October 3," declatcd Roland
S.' Morris, Democratic Stato chairman,
this morning. "Tho facts and the figures
tearing upon this will bo placed In Un
hands of our workers In every division
In Philadelphia, and our appeal to the
c'tlzens will bo to use tho most power
ful weapon known In tho fight against
l'enroselsm, which Is their right to the
ballot and tho obligation which de
volves upon them to exercise this right."
Speeches urging all Independent voters
o use their right of citizenship and re
later wilt be mude In this city Just pi lor
to the last registration day by Vance
C. McCormlck and William Draper LcwK
,lt is understood, further, that Colonel
iltoosevelt's speech horo on the night of

n appeal to the individual citizen to

In the first two registration days this
year 182,610 citizens qualilled. As tho as
sessors lists show 379,677 citizens eligible

which Is nearly 2000 less than registered
en tho final day laat year.
The tablo complied by the Palmer-Mc-Cormlck

MORRIS ANSWERS PENROSE I
Denies Statement That Civil Service

I Senator Penrose Vharged that experi
enced men in the Consular Sorvlco havo
uecn repined by hordes of hungry of
He seekers with no qualifications or ex- i
porionco for their duties.
Penrose forgets," Mr. Morris said,
''that the neonle rend IhK tinners nnd

the Civil Service code of tho Consular
Department has been abrogated. Not a J
single appointment to the Consular Ser
vice has been made without civil ser

With the preliminary educational cam
paign of "Safety First" week nearly over,
the city is now awaiting with great In
terest tho opening of the, convention and
carnival proper tomorrow night at Con
vention Hall, Broad street and Allegheny
avenue. Tho educational campaign was
brought to a climax last night by a
largo mass-meeting In the ballroom of
tho Bcllevuc-Stratford, under tho aus
pices of the Home and School League.
Officials of tho league expressed great
satisfaction today in tho Interest dis
played In '-Safety Week," not only by
tho public at large, but by tho railroads,
tho Rapid Transit Company and other
largo employers of labor who are earn
estly trying to solve tho problem of In
dustrial accidents, most of which aro
preventable.
The problem of accidents and safety in
general was brought Into strong relief at
the meeting last night when Franklin H.
Wentworth, of Boston, shocked the audl
enco by bringing out tho general admis
sion that few of those present know where
the nearest fire box to their homes was or
how to give an alarm. Mr. Wentworth
said that the great majority of fires In
this country were caused by tho careless
use of matches. Americans, he said, wero
tho most careless people In the world
In dealing with matches. Tho result of
this carelessness, Mr. Wentworth" said,
is the groat number of fires accompanied
by loss of life.
Director Porter told of what is being
done by the Department of Public Safety
to protect the Uvea nnd property of tho
citizens of Philadelphia. Director Porter
spoke of the many Improvements In traffic
regulations, which, ho said, have reduced
the number of street accidents to a large
extent, nnd to the fact that the theatres
of the city have been compelled to spend
J300.000 In Insuring greater safety. Mr.
Porter, although he gave great praise to
the efficiency of Philadelphia's firefighters,
said the equipment of tho Flro Depart
ment In this city needed Improvemtnt.
He spoke of the defectlvo engines held
in reserve, of antiquated flro boxes In
many parts of the city and of the de
fectlvo fire hose which firemen are com
pelled to use.
Mrs. Joseph R. Wilson, head of tho
committee in charge of the week's pro
gram, made an appeal for greater caro
In the prevention of accidents and dis
ease due to carelessness. She said that
while the Government, city State and
national, had Its duty to perform in this
regard, it was up to tho people to do
their share In exercising greater care
and Judgment In their homes, In their
places of employment and In the street.
