We have no organisation in Pennsylvania today, and our nominees ;are merely Flinn appointees. ! "To sum the matter up, the truth Is J just this' Mr. Fllnn has made the Pro gressive party In Pennsylvania 'a party afraid of Itself.' afraid to stand on its f own bottom, afraid of its own power, afraid to do good within Itself" i Reverting to the withdrawal of Doctor I Lewis, Mr. Quay said, "Following the J Philadelphia meeting, when Doctor Lewis announced his withdrawal, I wired "Vdo nel Roosevelt, telling him it was a cow J ardly deal for which wo would not stand, land I could not believe it met with his J approval.

C. J. HEPPE & MACHINE IMPOSES BIG CAMPAIGN TOLL ON OFFICEHOLDERS Slim Treasury Requires Compulsory "Contribu tions" in Larger Amounts Than Ever Before. The Republican Organization managers In city nnd State, according to affected ofllceholders, are "squeezing out" the po litical assessments more rigidly and in larger amounts this year than ever be fore. Heretofore It has been the prac tice of the treasurer of the Organization to accept "voluntary" contributions. This year the amounts are llxed on a definite basis and no less assessments will be accepted, the ofllceholders report. This extraordinary situation, where of HceholdeiB are compelled to pay on tho percentage basis, Is explained b the Organization us caused by the urgent nccesslt for money nnd the scarcity of assessable men under the "machine." Before President Wilson's administration nnd before Mayor Ulankenburg ended the system among the municipal place holders the urbanization reaped a rich lcvj each eai from the Federal, State and city of ficeholders. Their mentis of toll Is now confined to State nnd county otllceholdcrs. As the result the Organization, forced to luivo n big amount for tin Penrose campaign, has made the usual "volun tary contribution" a compulsory one. One county ofllceholder, who has been accustomed to contribute JIO each year to the Republican City Committee, and the same amount to tho Ward Committee, nppenreil tho other day at the offices of the Republican City Committee to "swell the coffers." He laid down four J10 blUs. ' No, that Is net enough," said the re ceiver. "You receive J2000 a year, nnd your asessment Is t(f. We cannot take less." In cases where the ofllceholder pleads sickness In his family, or offers nnothcr excuse to lessen his burden he Is told that he must pay the full assessment now or Inter. A careful list Is kept of the ofllceholders who do not measuro up to the full assessment. The percentage being followed by the Republican City Committee Is; One per cent, on $1000. One and one-half per cent, on $1."00. Two per cent, on $1S(K1. Three per cent, on $2000. Four per cent, on over $2000. Per dlem men are expected to "con tribute" one day's pay. According to a dispatch from Harris burir the State officeholders who fall to send the full assessment rccelvo a recond letter. In the shape of a bill, Informing them that there Is still due the Republican State Committee the difference between the original contribution and the assess ment. Republican leaders say that the coffers are very empty this year. This Is ac counted for by them by reason of the manufacturers contributing to the Penn sylvania Protective I'nlon. They also say that the liquor men nre not aiding the Organization financially, but propose to spend their monev to elect legislators op posed to local option.

PERMANENT REGISTRATION OF JERSEY VOTERS PLANNED Legislature to Consider Bill in In terest of Men Who Harely Move. TRENTON, Oct. 16. One of the llrst bills to be considered by the next Legis lature Is a measure to provide for tho permnnent registration ot voters who do not move frequently from one residence to nnothcr. It Is Intended particularly to be an advantage to those residents who live In one place nearly all their lives, and will make it unnecessary for them to register year after year. The idea was originated by State Librar ian John P. Dullard, and Senator Unrton B. Hutchinson, of this county, Is con sidering the plan with a view to Incor porating It In a bill to be presented this winter. It Is proposed to provide for a permnnent registration of voters with election boards which will sit practically the year around In the court houses of the counties. The plan contemplates personal regis tration In the fullest sense. It would do away with registration by canvassing In tho country districts, but contemplates visits to the plnces of registry In cities the first year, and after that, unless a man moves from one section to nnothcr or is disqualified from voting, his voting place will always bo open to him with out the trouble of further resstratlon.
