JEItr.MIAH SHAW. Republican, Common,
"no."
Mr. Shaw said: "1 have- to stand up
when I get In the trolley car at 15th and
Diamond streets, and when I go home at
night. Don't you think I am against a
condition which makes that necessary!
I was sorry to sco the Jitneys go, for
they n ere handy. I have been In public
life a long time and I have always been
In favor of anything by which the people
profit. But I won't sign a pledge at this
time "
I I.I.I AM M. LEWIS, Republican, Com
mon, "no."
Mr. Lewis Issued tho following state
ment: "I am In favor of a comprehensive
transit program, and If elected will vote
for such a one, If presented. I do not,
however, believe that It Is either wise
or necessary to sign a pledge for a
particular program which has been pre
pared In advanco by a newspaper with
out previous discussion or action by the
peoplo at large.
"I think that, upon a proper showing
which would Justify such action, the 8
cent fares ought to bo dono away with.
I subscribe whole-heartedly, and if
elected will work and vote for any meas
ure which will give the northwestern
section of the city better transit facili
ties. Tho entire question of transpor
tation Is too big to be decided Anally
nnd offhand by a pledge which a single
newspaper of the city takes It upon
itself to advocate."
The statement was dictated to his
stenographer, nna Mr. Lewis was asked
to sign It. This he refused to do.
Mr. Byrne qualified none of the clauses
In the pledge, and the other Franklin

word "conditional."
TWENTY-EIGHTH WARD
ANDREW O. KKELKY, KepvMlcMi, Com
mon, "no,'
Mr. Kelley said: "I don't se why I
should answer the pledge. It Is not fair
to make a man commit himself, for these
plans are subject to change. I want to
go to Councils without being committed
to any plan, I am not seeking office, and
I don't need It I am absolutely In favor
of the entire trnnslt plan. I am for any
thing that advances the Interest of the
municipality. But I want to be at lib
erty to take any stand on the matter
that I too fit when once I get to Coun
cils." The three Franklin party candidates In
the 28th ward wrote "Yes" after all
the questions and signed their names.
WILLIAM D. A8NIP, Republican, Com
mon, "no,"
Mr Asnlp refused to sign as soon as he
saw the pledge. He said:
"I won't commit myself to any pro
gram that Is likely to be changed after I
pledgo myaMf to It."
CHARLES J. MeKINN'EY, Republican,
Common, "no."
Mr. McKlnney asked for time" to thlnft

HARRY J. TRAINER, Republican, Select,
"no."
Mr. Trainer wanted at first to consider
the pltdge before he took any action on
it, but later decided he was in a position
to say "No" without further delay.
"Down In this ward," ho said, "wo aro
concerned with a possible extension of
the Market street subway further south.
The rest doesn't matter so much. As I
sec no reference to an extension of the
elevated below South street I don't feel
that I should sign this paper. However,
I want It stated that I am In favor of
rapid transit nnd anything that will Im
prove Philadelphia,"
SOMERS FITZPATRICK, Franklin, Select,
"no."
Mr. ntzpatrick, Franklin party candi
date for Select Council in the 3d Ward,
was surprisingly caustic In his refusal to
sign tho transit pledge. He declared
"tho party had ncer dono nn thing for
him and that he didn't feel like doing
anything for It." During his talk It
developed that Mr. Fltzpatrlck's principal
grlevanco had nrlsen In tho Department
of Public Safety after ho had been un
able to arrange an Interview with Direc
tor Drlggs.
"I'm licked here anywny," said Mr.
Fltzpatrlck, "but I wouldn't feel like
signing anything for tho party, anjway.
The're a bunch of boneheads when it
comes to running an election. Here I go
working my head off for them down here
and when I try to see Drlpps I'm kept
waiting an hour and then told he won't
seo me. I wouldn't sign my name nor
give my picture for a paper to help that
party."

Patron Who Should Havo Thrown
Baseball Uses Ivory Ono
The next time Phillip nuecup, of 1127
South 11th street, hires himself out as a
human target he will sco that the marks
men are not allowed to use billiard balls.
Ho was engaged last night by tho pro
moters of n carnival at 11th and Cath
arine streets to blacken his faco and
stick his head through a hole in a piece
of canvas so that patrons could throw
at him with baseballs.
Every pitcher who hit tho target three
times received three cigars. The man
who was running the target attracted
attention by pounding a blllard ball on a
tabic. One absent-minded patron took
the billiard ball from his hand and threw
It at the target. Tho ball struck the
wire mask which Ruccup wore and
knocked him unconscious. He was taken
to St. Agnes' Hospital, where his cut face
was treated.

able in maneuvering through congested traffic.
The body is of the smartest custom design, -arranged
