SENATOR WEEKS MAY
BE OUT FOR PRESIDENT
New Englander, in This City,
Says His Candidacy "De
pends on Conditions"
John W. Weeks, United Stntes Senator
from Massachusetts, today explained at
the Bellevue-Stratford his position as to
his possible candidacy for President of
the United States.
"The talk of me as a candidate did
not originate at all with me." the big
statesman declared. "I am doing the
thlnga that seem desirable at this stage
of the 1916 campaign.
"Whether I shall be n candidate later
depends on conditions na they develop."
Asked to outline the Issues upon which
thn Republican party ought to base Its
light for victory ut the next national
election. Senator Weeks said;
"The Republican party ought to advo
cate: "First. A protective tariff.
"Second. A reasonable preparation for
national defense, based on conditions
that havo developed during the European
war.
"Third. A general policy of encourag
ing Individual effort and the protection
of business enterprises, nnd na for as
posslblo taking the government out of
butlncss and limiting Its restrictive and
coercive policies.
"Fourth, the upbuilding of a merchant
marine and the opposing of any attempt
to put the Government Into tho ocean
transportation business hs proposed by
the present Administration."
Senator Wocks declared the chances for
winning at the polls In tho coming cam
paign look "excellent" for the Repub
licans. "Tho Democratic legislation has very
largely failed to carry out the claims
mado for It both during tho campaign
and nt tho tlmo Its laws were passod,"
the Senator said. "This especially applies
to the tariff bill, which haa not reduced
the tost of living; has not stimulated
foreign trade, and has been the poorest
revenue-producing tariff legislation wo
have had since the Civil War,"
As for the chances of a reunion be
tween tho Republican and Progressive
forces he Indicated that many who voted
the Progressive ticket In 1912 are return
ing to the fold.

COMMERCE MEN HEAR
SENATOR WEEKS URGE
U.S. MERCHANT MARINE
Chamber nt Dinner Cheers
When He Assails Ship Pur
chase Bill and Favors
Subsidies
TELEPHONE TO FRISCO
One of the atrongest pleas for exten
sion of our merchant marine, as nn ab
solute necessity, was made today by Sen
ntor John Wlngato Weeks, of Massachu
setts, at n luncheon at the Bollevue-Strat-ford
Hotel, tendered to moro than 700
leading business and professional men of
the city by the Chamber of Commerco
of Philadelphia.
In a comprehensive and lengthy speech,
Senator Weeks traced the conditions
which led to tho Imperative present de
mand for merchant marine adequate to
the country's needs, and gave In detail
the Various remedies offered. In strong
terms he denounced the Wilson adminis
tration's bill to purchase nnd charter
ships, and advocated ship subsidies.
"It I not tho desire of any one who nd
ocatcs subsidiaries that a monopoly
shall be created or that unreasonable
payments shall be made to those who
are doing a profitable business, the sole
pur pone bring to overcome the handicaps
under which Americans who are en
gaged In this kind of occupation labor,"
ho Bald. "The ltcpubllcnn party has
ntood .for .that ns a general principle. Ha
protrottve policy la tinted on that dif
ference, nnd It can not do otherwlso than
as Insistently as posslblo urge that sim
ilar action be applied to American ship
ping," He also urged the extension of the
merchant mnrlne from a standpoint of
naval preparedness, showing the need of
additional auxiliaries In the navy. Our
foiclgn trade could be absolutely para
lyzed by n war If tho belligerents carry
ing our trade did not control the seas,
as In the present war, he said.
COMMUTERS REOPEN
FIGHT ON RATES
Letter Sent to Public Service
Commission Requesting Re
opening of Case
The fight against the schedule of In
creased commutation ratea which the rail
roads put Into effect December 15 wan
leopened today when a letter was sent to
the Public Service Commission by counsel
for the combined committee of tho United
Business Men's and Commuters' Associa
tions. Tho nttnek this time Is mado nlong the
lino of n suggestion made by the present
commission and based upon the recom
mendations of the old commission that n
zone limit for a maximum fare be estab
lished, and that beyond the zone limit
the old per station system be reinstated.
The cheap rote to Willow Grovo adopt
ed by tho Philadelphia and Reading lurt
summer was also urged as proving that
a loner rate of fares Is sufficiently re
munerative for the railroads.
The letter calls attention of the com
mission to the fact that In the decision
of June, 1315, reference was mado to the
last order Issued by the old commission.
In May, 1915, n which It was recom
mended that the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company establish certain
zono limits for suburban paracnger fares.
In the latter order It was stated that
sufficient time had not elapsed to adopt
the suggestion of the old commission,
and that therefore no action would be
ordered. Tho commission stated further
that after a sufficient time had elapsed
It would take the matter up voluntarily.

PORTER FLEDGES WAR K
AGAINST THE BOSSES
His Mayoralty Platform Makes
Isauo Of Rule of Municipal
Contractors
The mayoralty platform of D-lrrcldr
Oeorge D. Porter waa enthusiastically re.
lelved In Independent political circles to
day. Its chief plank la a pledge of op.
poilUon to th6 control of or participation
in city government by political Contract
or. Of tho control Of the city govern
ment by contractor rule. Director Torter
eays;
"Thd toleration of aueh nn Iniquity has
hurt the Republican party In the nation
and hurt the Itepubllcans of Pennsylva
nia In the councils of their party. It has
been a milestone nrbttnd our necks, It
continuance la an Issue, due solely to the
money greed Of two men."
Pursuing the policy of opposition (8
municipal contractors' administration. Di
rector Porter declares a smeller Council
wbuld b less unwieldy and betie!1
calculated to conduct business efficiently,
To accomplish the tamo end, the Inde
pendent candidate asserts his antagonism,
to the selection and slating of candidates
and the appointment, of public officials -by
the municipal contractors.
Director Porter puts himself on record
In vigorous terms rts being willing to
work to accomplish tho projects he up
ports and to oppose with militant aggres
sion the schemes nnd systems he de
nounces. The whole platform deals with plan
t6 suppress and eventually root out gang
rule from Philadelphia. To further thl
plan, Director Porter advocates the re
moval of tho budget recommendation
power from the trickery of Councils' '
Finance Committee. This Is In line with
the step taken In New York .to draw .
the teeth of a corrupt Hoard of Alder
men by vesting the power to disburse
city funds In an upright and lntelllgnr
Board of Estimate and Apportionment,
Director Porter bellevee Blockley should
bo rebuilt "without paying tribute to an
architect'
He wants more playgrounds.
Tho city should clean Ita streets by lU,
own employes, he believes. x
Director Porter advocates the employ
ment or American workmen on all mu
nicipal work.
