1 Mr. Quay made public a letter he wrote
Jto Colonel Hoisoiclt on September IT. In
ithat letter yuny told Hoesevelt of tin
jtecret politic at manipulations of Fllnn
jtlial led to the withdrawal of William
jDraper Lewis and the Democratic and
Washington paity fusion on Vnnre C.
JllcCormlck for Governor.
Mr. Quay also denounced the candidacy
Jof Glfford rinchot, Washington party
Jr.omlnee for United States genu tor. He
piad this to say of Plnchot's c.intlld.icy:
"The real Progressives of IVnns.xlvanla
jbelleve In Pentmylvanla-niade products.
jThey are not in favor of candidates Im
ported from tho Democracy, or New York,
Connecticut, the District of Columbia, or
jpny other Ptat-."
; Mr. Quay s.ild that It Is his opinion
land that of his follower that the !!
publico n ticket this fall will poll fotit
Iflfths of the votes that were cast for
Roosevelt In 1112. "Within the last few
tweeks, imI since the consummation of
Ithls Infamous deal with the Democracy
lot Harrlsliurc." he said, "the expression
Ifrom sincere Propres-lws In every county
in the State, one and all. Is that wo are
J'a pnrty betrayed.' "
! He said that his letter to folonel Kooo.
Jrelt best explained the position of htm
Jself anil his followers. The letter. In
Tiart. follows:
J "From the very bcdnnlnK In this State,
Sand bv that I mean 1312. we Progres
sives In Pennsylvania have fought a
Howard's llcht. There are two men who
pro responsible for this one fllnn and the
father Van. (Hy "Van" he meant II. A.
JVan ValUenburs ) In 1312 you forced
ahem to make a square and honest fiKht
tfor a stralKht Prorslve electoral ticket.
Jrhey fousht a two-faced tlclit on every
thing else, aifalnst my protest and against
Jthe protest of every red-blooded Hoose-A-elt
man In the party.
"The light was made by Mr. Fllnn
Jwltli an absolutely selfish purpose In
vlcw. He thought more of securing a
state Treasurer and the power of the
Lvudltor General's olllce, which is an In
Jciclent thereof, than he dlil of Progres
. JJve prlncl)les. He Indorsed the nominees
;for Republican State Senate nnd House
Sn Pennsylvania because he believed by
.bo doing lie could place nimseir. in snnpe
rto deal thereafter for position within
the Republican party If the Progressive
party failed.
FLINN'S "COWARDLY" ACT.
"In HarrUburg at the conference last
SJanuary It was Mr. Fllnn's Intention to
nominate Mr Creasy. th present Demo
crotlc nominee for Lieutenant Governor.
There was so much opposition to this
;that he was afraid to pull on the job. He
;then felt out the llnca a.i to his own
tnomlnatlon for Governor and found
fthere would be considerable opposition,
and then again played coward and,
;fearlng to place any one In nomination
Sat a full conference, adjourned and left
Uhe matter In the hands of a star cham
ber committee.
; ' It was charged when Mr. Lewis was
;put on that he would be withdrawn. Mr.
iFUnn, at every meeting wo have had In
!the last year, has harped on fusion, has
said over and over again that he did not
jknow but his next step would be the
Democratic party. You know that the
J were opposed to vour attacking the Wil
Sgon Administration, nnd did all they could
to persuade you not to do It In your
speech at Exposition Hall.
DISORGANIZRD AND AFRAID.
J "I bellve that this recent act of Mr.
sFllnn's has done more to disorganize and
jembarrass the Progressive (ause In the
3 nation than all the acts of our enemies
jput together since the Republican conven
tlon in 1912. 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. I am sorry I have not his per
t mission to publish his answer."
A. Nevln Detrich, chairman of the
; Washington party State Committee, In
; a statement on th action of Quay, to.
I day said that Quay "never was a Pio
Igressiie." i "The thorn In Quay's flesh." said Det-
rich, "has been the publication of the

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.

BRUMBAUGH WILL .
URGE LOCAL OPTION
OH THE LEGISLATURE
Believes People Want to
Control Liquor Traffic and
Promises Zealous Work
for Passage of Bill.
, OIL CITY, Pa Oct. 16. "I will not sit
Idly by, If elected Governor, and wait for
tha Legislature to pass n local option
bill." said Dr. Martin O. Brumbaugh, Re
publican nominee for Governor, on his
arrival here at noon today. "I will do
nil In my power to force the Legislature
to pass a local option bill."
This statement caused the Republicans
of this community to think seriously, as
nearly all tho followers of tho Republi
can party here are "wets."
"I believe the people of Pennsylvania
wnnt local option," said Doctor Brum
baugh, "and If 1 am elected Governor I
believe that 1 will be ablo to persuade
oven a 'wet' Legislature, to pass a local
option oiii.'
Doctor Brumbaugh was met here by a
crowd ol 100 and he wns escorted to tho
Arlington House. A reception was held
for the Republican nominee for Gover
nor, nnd ho wilt rest here until this
excnlng, when he will go to Franklin
for a large mass-meeting. This after
noon Doctor Brumbaugh met the local
school men, and after school hours made
an address to about 200 educators from
various parts of the county.
The Republican meeting at Franklin to
night will be held only a few blocks
away from tho Democratic gathering.
Speaking at New Castle last night. Doc
tor Drumbaugh also discussed local op
tion. There he said;
"If we are to keep our homes and our
schools and our churches as the dominant
central power, then It follows that in no
county In this State should Intoxicating
liquors bo sold without the consent of the
voters of that county.
"I havo declared In my primary plat
form nnd have spoken all over tho com
monwealth for a local option law In
Pennsylvania, but there are a few people
who seem to think that I have not made
myself clear on that question. I am al
most constrained to ask them: 'Shall I
spell It for you? Surely nfter a generation
spent In training others to speak the
English language, I should know how
to make my thoughts clear on nny Issue
tike thnt.
"1 wnnt you to know that I Btand four
square on that proposition, with nil my
heart. I don't wnnt any voter or nny
mother or child to be taught an untruth
or to have a misrepresentation of myself
on a moral Issue presented to them In this
campaign. I xvlll not say a thing to get
a voro that 1 xvlll not do after the vote
Is given."
Doctor Brumbaugh also renewed his
pledge that good roads must be bull:
under his administration nnd that any
man or group of men xvho stood In the
xvay of that realization would hax-e to go.

U. S. ORDNANCE EXPERTS
DOUBT BIG GUN STORIES
Impossible for Germans to Use Olant
Weapons on Ships.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.
"It can't be done," xx-as the unanimous
opinion among ordnance experts of the
nrmy and navy today, with respect to
tho report that Germany has manufact
ured a number of 16-inch guns with a
range of 28 miles for use on ships.
"Slxtccn-lnch guns can't shoot that
far," said one of the army ordnance
officers, "In the second place they
couldn't be mounted on ships for tho
reason that they xvould tear the x'essel to
pieces xvlth their concussion and recoil.
The same reason xvould prex'ent their
being mox'ed from place to place for
use as siege guns. We havo txvo guns of
this size, one nt Montauk Point and tho
other guarding the Panama Canal, but
they are mounted on solid concrete foun
dations and even then their firing Jars
the xvholc fort. We knoxv that the Ger
mans have a few of these guns In fact
xve know exactly hoxv many they have
but they all are being used for coast
defense."
