3S3.00U to 220,000, and will carry at least
S3 counties.
"St-nator Penrose will carry 41 counties,
nnd will have a majority of 193,000 over
Palmer, with Plnchot running a poor
third. All of the other Republican can
didates will win without dlfllculty. ns
thero will be more straight Republican
ballots cast than at any previous' election.
"The Republicans will get 27 Congress
men, tho Democrats six and tho AVnsh

At this time I do not concede any con

overwhelming majority. Speaking rough
ly, tho ticket will have a majority of
BOO.OOO In Philadelphia alone, and the
whole State ticket will come to tho Phil

proximating 100,000. I confidently expect
to poll a majority of more than 100,000."

Fashion at Shows.
nll styles for doss nro outl
Tho French poodle, which claims dis
tinction of helnfr tho most nrlstocratlc
member of doKdom. will set a new fash
Ion at the kennel shows this winter.
The black poodle will wear his hair
moio trimly shaved and will be covered
with more numerous rosettes of natural
hair. The white poodle will change his
attire also, but not so extensively, lie
will keep his mustache trimmed and his
forelegs clean.
The Alrdale contemplates no changes
lie will wear shaggy hair and a con
temptous casto of countenance, as usual.
John Kccgan, who makes his living fol
lowing men's fashions In a clothing store
and who also Is secretary of the Kennel
Club, declares there won't be many
changes In dog styles this winter. He
holds the Boston terrier will atlll bo the
most popular show dog. One can't
change a Boston bull to any noticeable
extent. He will continue to wear his
coat to the entire length of Its growth,
and his whiskers are not plentiful enough
for any marked change.
The barbers' art tried on a toy poodlo
would be a shame. If the poodle lost Its
coat, or even a part of It, there would
be nothing left of the animal but a
ferocious disposition. If a regular-sized
dog had the toy poodle's temperament,
it would be carried, with a trainer. In a
circus cage.

of several hundred men who have rcg
Isteicd Illegally.
The Board of Registration Commis
sioners struck 2250 names from tho voting

mlttco of Seventy, ns a result of the
police ennvans, but the names of several
hundred men were withheld for criminal

Tho Palmcr-McCormlck Committee of
Ono Hundred and tho police will also
closely watch the polling places tu detect
any fraud that may be attempted. They
will arrest and piosecute anyone who vio

COMMITTEE'S STATEMENT. '
In a statement, the Committee of Sev
enty says:
"In nearly 20 wards In the city large
numbers of names of persons not entitled
to vote have been discovered upon the
registration books, nnd after a rigid In
vestigation by the committee, many were
found to be absolute phantoms. Others
were disqualified by reason of removals,
and many transient residents of lodging
houses, whoso residence In tho division
terminated shortly after registration, or
who did not live tho legally prescribed
tlmo In the district, have been named In
warrants.
"For a month cso Investigations have
been In progress. V . llo tho Hoard of
Registration Commissioners struck somo
2250 names from tho lists in tm city, the
Committee of Seventy deemed It neces
sary to withhold a large number of names
Illegally registered In order to bring
criminal prosecutions.
"Warrants for t' t nrrest of hundeds of
Illegally registered voters have been
placed In tho hands of detectives n the
Committee of Seventy for service tomor
row. Tho polls will be covered Tuesday
by detectives of tho coniml tee, nnd those
who uppear to vote without legal right to
do so will be taken Into custody."
DUIINS DETECTIVES TO AID.
Burns detectives aided the committee
In its investigation of the registration
lists, and will supplement the Commit
tee's detectives nt the polls tomorrow.
Tho Burns detectives will cover tho
river wards and other sections of the city,
where illegal voting has been practiced
In the past, to insure an honest election.
Director Porter had a conference today
with William J. Burns, head of the de
tective agency, and announced at Its con
clusion that every precaution had been
taken to prevent the casting of fraudu
lent votes and Intimidation of voters.
The expenses for the vigilance of the
Ilurns men will be borne by several pri
vate citizens.
Up to the present time there has been
no shifting of any of the policemen, as
none has been charged with political
acthity.
Director Porter has assigned detectives
to the downtown machine wards. In a
second order issued yesterday he an
nounced that the police must be Impar
tial in policing the polls. "Any officer,"
he said, "who falls to protect Washing
ton and Democratic watchers will be sum
marily dealt with."
A call for volunteer watchers has been
Issued by all of the ontl-Penrose forces
In the tty. The Penrose-McNIchol-Vare
machine will undoubtedly employ an
army of paid election heelers at the polls
tomorrow, to stand guard over Penrose's
Interests, Therefore an appeal has ben
made to good citizens to offer their serv
ices as poll watchers and workers, to be
on guard at every polling place in the
city from the opening of the polls until
the ballots are counted.

GERMAN SYMPATHY DROWNED
BY BOOZE, SAYS MINISTER
The Rev. J. M. S. Isenberjr Markes
Sharp Statement to Reformed
Meeting-.
Violations of the Sabbath laws and. too
much indulgence In liquor by Germans,
ncordlng to the Rev. Dr. J. M. S. Isen
berg. pastor of the Trinity Reformed
Church, Broad nnd Venango strets, Is re
sponsible for tho lack of sympathy In
this country for the German army.
Tho Rev. Mr. Isenberg, spoko today he
fore tho Reformed Ministers Association,
at the regular meeting, held at ICth nnd
Rnce fitrets.
C. J. Hexamer, President of the German-Alliance,
replied to tho clergyman's
statement ns follows:
"It Is useless to reply to such nonsense.
I wouldn't enro to get Into nny contro
versy. Tho German-Alliance has done
n great deal In this country In art and
personal development."
PHILOSOPHERS CAUSED WAR
Doctor Kennedy Holds Heathen
Teachings Responsible for Conflict.
That the European war Is nothing but
a conflict between Christianity nnd heath
enism, with tho forces hack of it
the free-thinking philosophers, such as
Nletzche, Trersche nnd Heine, was the
belief expressed by the Rev Dr. David
F. Kennedy, editor Tho rresbterlan, bo
fore the Presbyterian Ministers' Assoc'a
tlon at Its weekly meeting In Westminister
Hall today.
Doctor Kennedy declared civilization
and Christianity are passing through a
crisis In Europe, and that the outbreak Is
largely the result of the minds. of heathen
philosophers dominating Germany and
other European nations. Neither the
Kaiser nor the German people, the speaker
Insisted, should be blamed for the strug
gle, but It should be charged up against
the heathen teachings of the men who
have apposed Christianity.
"No wordly weapon can be used to stop
tho conflict," said Doctor Kennedy. "The
time has come when we can only look
to God and must go back to Him to lead
thejiatlons out of the distress Into which
they have been plunged."
The present war, the speaker declared,
was brought on by an outbreak similar
to that of the Reformation.
The Rev. Dr. W. Courtland Robinson,
who celebrated his seventh anniversary
as pastor of the Northmlnster Church
yesterday, was given a vote of congratu
lation by his fellow clergymen.

STENOGRAPHERS SUE
RYAN'S COMMITTEE
FOR $2063.41 UNPAID
Bill Contracted With Young
Women During City So
licitor's Primary Campaign
Other Creditors May Act.
Two young women, proprietors of ft
Rlenogrnphlc bureau In tho Halo Bulld
lug, have brought suit against tho Ryan
Stnto Campnlgn Commlttco to recover
$2O03.u for work during tho campaign of
City Solicitor Michael J. Ryan for the
Democratic nomination for Governor.
Miss Rcntrlco V. Ctailnghcr and Miss S.
A. Mooro nro tho plaintiffs. They are
proprietors of th'o Accurate Addressing
Company.
This Is the second suit brought against
the Rynn committee. Other creditors nro
nald to bo planning similar steps. In all
the claims amount to JG000, according to
those In a position to know.
Tho first suit against tho Rynn com
mlttco was that of tho Whitehead &
Kong Company, of Newark, N. J which
manufactured buttons hearing tho like
ness of Michael J. Ryan and n Icgond
urging a vote for him. It was brought
thrco weeks ago In Common Plena Court
No. B. On Friday the Misses Gallagher
and Moore began, through Monahan &
Phillips, their attorneys, nn action to
recover $2063.41.
The defendants In tho Whitehead nnd
Hoguo suit arc Judge Eugeno C Bon
nlwell, of tho Municipal Court, who wns
chairman of tho Itynn State Campaign
Committee; Daniel G. Murphy, Thomas
Rellly, treasurer of the committee, Dan
iel Wade, John J. Green and John W.
Glover. Glover wan In charge of tho
Ryan headquarters during tho campaign.
No defenses have been made yet to tho
suit of tho young women to recover for
work thoy did for tho committee, but
the Whitehead nnd Hong action has bcon
nnswered by all except Judge Bonnlwcll.
Tho defenses are remarkable examples
of the game of "passing tho buck." Each
defendant declares he was not responsi
ble for tho bills. Even tho man who or
dered tho Rynn buttons, though admit
ting ho did order them, neglects to tell
who authorized their purchase.
Tho bills havo been duo since Michael
J. Rynn lost the nomination for Gov
ernor In the primaries of Mny 23.
A story told in tho streets to explain
the existence of tho debts throws nn
Interesting light on the Ryan candidacy
and, If true, helps to explain the law
suits. The Ryan forces, so runs tho
tale, had a promise of a subsidy of
$J0,000 from the liquor Interests. Con
tributions were levied In many cases, but
In tho last hours of tho campaign the
liquor people grew frightened and, think
ing their money would go for nothing,
withdrew tho offer. "The liquor Interests
failed to como across," as one man ex
plained It.
Tho money had been spent In advance,
tho story goes, ana when tho liquor
money receded from sight no one felt
llko paying the bills that remained That
disposition toward the bills has endured
since May.
