ment in Pennsylvania Is
Shown by the Evening
Ledger's Canvass of Districts.
HArtUtSlH'RG, Oct. 2t. -Local option
In PcnnsjlvniiU Is traveling the usual
rocky road when It becomes nn Issue In
partisan politics Typical organization
methods are being used In this campaign
to defeat the movement for temperance)
reform.
As liiifi always been the case when this
Issue lias come to the front, the old style
politician and the followers of the Or
ganization am studiously avoiding any
declaration In regard to It which might
Identify them as favoring or being op
posed to local option. The fumlllar
"straddle." at which Organization lead
era have become so adept, is to be re
marked In a majority of the 15 district
In Pennsylvania where new Senators are
to be elected this fail
Wherever possible the Organization can
didate is carefulij avoiding a. declaration
of his attitude tMiail ho Is regarded
hy the rum Interests as a "safe" man,
hut this knowledge, whenever possible, Is
being kept strictly under cover and the
candidate contents himself and. If pos
sible, the opposition, bj crjptle sayings
and equivocal statements intended to de
ceive the unwary voter
"local option and the temperanco
question Is not an issuo In this cam
paign" Is a familiar phrase this fall.
In spite of this, however, there is no
denying the fact that thp local option
propaganda is malting rapid strides In
the Keystone State and thit its effects
wjll be shown at the November elections
Whether or not a sufficient number of
local option Senators will b elected t"
Insure the success of a local option bill
In the net State Senate Is not et clenrlv
evident. The Hvevino I.EDOEn has col
lected Information from the various dis
tricts of the State which throws -ome
light on the situation. Thts Information
Is printed herewith
Crawford County for Local Option
MEADVILLE. Pa . Oct 21 John L

of local option, so whichever candidate,
is successful, the district Is sure to bo
represented In the State Senate b one
local option vote
Little Doubt About the 48th
FRANKLIN, Pa . Oct. :i -The only can
didate for the State Senate who has
come out openly for local option Is Jo
seph Defrees, of Warren County, the
Washington party nomlnof His chances
for re-election are only fair.
The Washington party enrolment in the
counties of Warren and Venango has
fallen off, and unless Defrees gets sup
port from voters who did not enroll, he
will be defeated The district is Republi
can normally, and the chances favor the
election of Marshall Phlpps, the Repub
lican candidate
Phlpps Is studiously avoiding the local
option issue, but the fact that temper
ance sentiment Is verv strong In both
Warren nnd Venango Counties makes It
hlshly probable that, whoever is elected,
will feel impelled b public sentiment to
support the local option cause In the State
Senate The Democratic nominee. John
Xi. Ncsblt, has not expressed himself on
the subject of local option.

There was nn air of deep disappoint
ment about the Bellevue-Stratford today.
Thomas A. Edison, "the grand old man
of electricity," sent a telegram to the
Electric Vehicle Association of America,
now in convention at the hotel, to tho
effect that he would not bo able to attend
the sessions.
But that disappointment was but brief,
a momentary one. For no matter how
long the distance which may separate tho
great wizard of electricity from his col
leagues In the world of science, delegates
said there was a certain undercurrent, an
electrical force, which seemed to bind
them to him, a force which connected the
Ingenious mechanism of Edison's brain
with the hearts of his friends and ad
mirers, who cherish for him a feeling
of gratitude and admiration as one of the
greatest benefactors of mankind.
And so. In spite of his absence, today
the delegates at the convention observed
Edison Day. For on October 21, 1673, Just
S5 years ago today. Edison gave to the
world the first carbon filament incandes
cent lamp, a thread of charred coal that
glowed il hours In a vacuum bulb From
that Initial success, in itself attained only
after many months of patient labor and
self-denial, has been evolved the most
perfect lllumlnant that the world has
ever known, the Mazda lamp.
In commemoration of that historic 21st
day of October, JS79, In recognition of the
vast benefits that his great Invention has
conferred on mankind, and in admiration
for the genius that created not only the
incandescent lamp, but the entire light
ing in 'ustrj of our present day. the dele
gates of the convention will today stand
up In tribute to the brain that has done
so much to make the world a better place
to live In.
The following tribute has been paid by
Walderaar Kaempffert, the great elec
trical engineer, to Thomas Edison on the
occasion of today's anniversary
"His work, nnd particularly the Inven
tion of the electric Incandescent lvmp,
must forever remain an Inspiration to
mankind The long weeks and months of
tedious experimenting, the dauntless
patience that bravely struggled on after
each momentary defeat, and the resource
fulness thut turned even failure to ac
tount have perhaps never been equaled,
and certainly never surpassed. In the his
tory of human achievement.
"No wonder that tills man enriched his
time with one of Its most precious Inven
tions the Edison lamp with a form of
illumination so wonderfully cheap and
cilicient thnt it has enabled the teacher
and the printer to extend the Influence of
civilization where It has never been felt
befoie ''
The following laurel is placed upon the
brow of Edison by another wizard of
electricity. Charles P. S Stelnmetz.
"The first time I met Edison vn In
1813, at the International Electrical Con-
1 riDUte tO Work Of" the In- Introduced me to him. nnd Edison, Joklng-
l pointed at me, oald, 'pure theurv ,'
pointing at Elckeme.ver 'theory nnd pi.ie
tlce1 nnd at hlms-clf 'pure practice ' This
Is tho attitude Edison has always taken,
declaring himself n mcie practical man.
nnd tho newspaper men have expanded
on this nnd so created the popular be
lief that Edison does not know anything
about theory nnd science, but merely e
perlments nnd trle3 anything he or nnv
bods else can think of. There Is nothing
more untrue than this It is true, Edison
never went to any college but he know a
more about the sublecta taught In col
leges than most college men From my
experience I consider Edison today as the
man best informed In all fields of human
knowledge."
John Wannmaker today paid tribute to
the genius of the "wizard." He said:
"The conquerors of tho world aie not
all warriors. The Inventors of the world
are ofttlmes conquerors. Thirty-ilvc ears
ago a young mechanic, 32 ears old. bear
ing tho name of Thomas A. Edison, dis
covered the incandescent light William
A' McKean, the old fditor of the I'l'dmc
Ledger at that time, with the writer of
this anniversary greeting to his old friend,
went down to Menlo Park In October,
1ST9, to see the wonderful lamp exhibited
to them by the modest oung Edison.
"What Mr. Edison has achieved to
date places his name upon tho roll:
"Gallileo.-
"Columbus.
"Franklin
"Today all America inscribes upon that
honor roll In letters of brightest light:
"Thomas Alva Edison
"It is something for us all to say that
we live In the same generation with Ed
ison. "It Is an honor to tako the hand of
this man of master mind and of tran
scendent genius.
"No man on kingly throne wH bo
longer remembered than he
"And how has lie done so much In his
peaceful way to bless the world?
"Only by working and working and
working all the time, days and nlghtB, and
at some periods that he made Into a day
four das long, scarcely eating and sleep
ing for 96 hours at a stretch.
"How ho ever did It Is the wonder of
the age, since It was all done so quietly,
confidently and surely.
"How could we have gotten on with
out him'
"Our best salutations to you, Thomas
A Edison, the world's helper.
"Long may you live to enjoy the never
sotting sun of your well-enrned fame."

Demand for the new Hup exceeds
anv thing we ever saw, because
people nowadaa want lots of
room In their cars and because the
new Hup gives it to them.
Five passengers ride with comfort
able ease In the new model.
There's plenty of room to stretch, In
either front or rear seat, even If
the passengers are extra tall.
Really, I don't see how any man or
woman could possibly be cramped
in this beautiful new car.
Another thing- the cushions are deep
and soft best upholstery we've
ever had, and worthy of a car
costing a good deal more.
With high seat backs, well tufted,

Says Senator Uses Calamity Story
for Purposes of Campaign.
SHARON, Pa., Oct. 21. The Democratic

times In the steel and Iron business, nnd
In mill towns he says that the farmer

Ho refers to tho phrase used In a statj
ment a few days ago by Republican
State Chairman Newton A. K, Bugbet
"rebuke tho Administration," and savi
that the latter In thoso words sounded
his note of appeal to the voters, Mr
Grosscup adds that tho literatures circu

tional Administration." Ho declnres that
"by their speakers and by the written

Continuing, Chairman Grosscup eaya
"Wo are willing that tho voters Judgj
