CALAMITY MAIN CRY
Tnomas B. Smith, republican Organiza
tion candldnto for Mayor, again side
stepped the unlvcrsat five-cent faro Issue
In three campaign speeches last night.
VEU promises of better transit fcllU
tits were made to the voters at each of
the three Republican rallies, but through
cut each address Mr. Smith made a
studied effort to avoid mentioning the
question of the abolition of eight-cent
txchange tlcKcis ana ma suusuiuuon 01
universal free transfers.
The chargo of Qcorgo DJ'ortcr, Inde
nendent mayoralty candidate, that Mr.
PTlth Is not eligible to bo Mayor of Phil
adelphia, because of his non-rcsldcnce
here was likewise unanswered In the ad
drf.ic National Republican policies and
the tariff were offered as campaign issues
Instead of any referenco to the challenges
of Mr, Porter.
Senator Penrose again appeared on the
stump for Mr. Smith and declared that
the election of the Organization candldato
would mean n restoration of growth for
Philadelphia, and the slgnnl to a great
nation-wide Republican victory next year.
Benntor renroso gave unstinted praise
to the Democrntlc wing of the bipartisan
marhlne In Philadelphia, lie nssurcd the
Smith followers that thcro wns no reason
to find fault with the good Democrats
throughout the, city, becauso they are
going to help elect Mr. Smith.
The meetings were held at tho Con
tinental Republican' Club, nt 18th and
Jefferson streets, 47th Ward; Rldgo nve
nue and Crosson street, Roxborough, 22d
Ward, and nt tho West Philadelphia Re
publican Club, 4105 Chestnut street
After n passing mention of local condi
tions. Senator Penrose jinvp his regular
calamity nnd tariff speech. A defeat of
Mr. Smith on November 2, he Insisted,
would be heralded throughout the county
by the free-trade advocates ns n victory
(or them. Penrose was Introduced at the
47th Ward meeting ns the man the peo
ple want to see tho next President of
the United States.
Mr Smith at each meeting predicted
that he would bo elected by n majority
of 100,000. Ho made a brief reference to
Sir. Porter's attack upon his record while
In the legislature at Hnrrlsburg, but ho
inswered none of the specific charges and
! repeated his declaration that, ns ho was
conducting a gentlemanly campaign, ho
could not consider personalities.

Continued from Pace One
Independent orators at an overflow meet
ing.
A spectacular reception, similar to that
liven Mr. Porter, was accorded to Mayor
Blankenburg, who fired broadside nfter
broadside into the camp of tho Organlza
tlon. The Mayor, acclaimed as the "War
Horie of Reform," brought tho great
audience to Its feet In a truly remarknblo
ovation that lasted five minutes after he
had finished pleading with "his people"
to continue the work of good government
begun when he became Mayor four years
ko.
The other speakers were Franklin Spen
cer Edmonds, who presided, and Dr.
Philip H. Moore, tho "dynamic orator"
of the Independents, who had his audi
ence on their feet most of the time,
ihoutlng answers to a volley of questions
to where they stood In regard to the
Organization.
Mr. Morris llscussed the Taylor plans
from every angle, and reviewed In detail
the course of the negotiations tbnt re
sulted In the tentative agreement between
the city and the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company for the abolition of

almost entirely facts of record and you

from them which seem to mo to be the
only ones that it Is possible to draw
then the election of an Organization
Mayor and Councils next Tuesday Is an
impossibility."
FOUR IMPORTANT FACTS.
"Let me first draw your attention to
! these four preliminary and personal facts:
"1. David II. Lane, the 'Sago of tho
Organization,' who managed tho 'Ilar-
umony conferences' that selected Tnomas
and probably still holds, over 0000 shares
of Union Traction stock.

MORRIS DISCLOSES MENACE
OF ORGANIZATION TO TRANSIT
In his Academy or Music transit speech last night Georjrc W. Norrls
said:
David II. Lane very recently held, and probably still holds, over G000
shares of Union Traction stock.
Tho estate of Israel W. Durham holds over 10,000 shnrcs. Francis
Shunk Drown, who had Thomas B. Smith named Public Service Com
missioner, and Charles Scgcr, Organization leader in Select Council, nro
the trustees of that estate.
John I. Connelly, Organization candidate for City Solicitor, was until
recently, and probably still Is, nn nttorncy of the Rapid Transit Company,
under annual sa'ary. He fired the first gun against the Taylor plon.
James I. McNichol has, for many years, done a large pnrt of the com
pany's contract work.
Without a Delivery Loop, the Droad street subway should not be built.
A line from Frankford only to 2d nnd Arch streets, which Is now be
ing built, would fall to serve the public, unless It connect with the Market
street subway.
If you elect an Organization Mayor and Councils, you will be deliver
ing yourselves bound and gagged, crated nnd tagged, to the mercies of the
Transit Company.
Don't miss the significance of the fnct that the Organization's can
didate for Mayor nnd three-quarters of their candidates for Councils have
refused to sign the "Transit Pledge."
Smith an nvallablc candidate by appoint
ing him to tho Public Service Commis
sion. Is onn of tho two trusties of thnt
estate. Charles Scgcr, leader of Coun
cils, wns tho life-long friend and lieu
tenant of Durham, and Is his political
legatee, having been bequeathed the lead
ership of Councils.
"3. John P. Connolly, chairman of the
all-powerful Finance Committee of Coun
cils, nnd candidate for the Important
office of City Solicitor, was until very
recently, and probably still Is, an attor
ney of tho Rapid Transit Company, un
der annual salnry.
"4. James P. McNichol has, for many
years, cither directly, or through ono or
moro of tho construction companies which
bo operates, dono a largo part of the
company's contract work."
"Rearing In mind those four personal
nnd preliminary facts, let us review the
developments In tho transit situation dur
ing tho last threo years. Philadelphia
had a population of about 1,700,000, spread
over 120 squnre miles of territory; It hnd
only 15 track miles of subway and ele
vated, against 30 In Boston, 275 In Chicago
and 633 In New York (Including that now
under construction); It took half an hour
to go southwest from City Hall to C5th
and Woodland avenue; three-quarters of
an hour to go north to Olncy avenue,
and nn hour to go northeast to Frank
ford. U was generally agreed that these
conditions were Intolerable, and A. Mcr
rltt Taylor, first ns Transit Commissioner
nnd then as Director of tho new Depart
ment of City Transit, wns commissioned
to find a means of correcting them. Ho
studied tho situation with the most pains
taking nnd minute thoroughness, and
finally announced plans which have been
approved by every newspaper In the city,
by practically every trade organization
and business club, and have been favor
ably commented on by technlcnl and en
gineering Journals and experts nil over
the country. As long ns his activities
were confined to plans nnd studies, ho
met no opposition, but when those plnns
and studies had been completed, and It
came to making nn agreement with the
Transit Company, and getting legislation
In Councils nnd In the State Legislature,
there was a different story."
Mr. Norrls then told in detail the story
of tho negotiations between tho city and
the Rnpid Transit Company. The prin
cipal points upon which nn ngreement
could not bo reached, he said, were:
First. Whether the Frankford and the
Darby lines should be connected by the
use of tho Market Street Subway, or by
the construction of a new subway under
Chestnut street. Two. Whether the com
pany should be compensated only for loss
of net Income caused by diversion of traf
fic from tho surface to the new subway
lines, or whether It should be guaran
teed ngnlnst any decrease In net earnings
resulting from any cause whatever.
Third. When nnd how exchange tickets
should bo abolished, nnd whnt compensa
tion, If nny, should be allowed the com
pany ns a return for their abolition.
Directors Taylor, Cooko nnd himself,
who had been delegated by Mayor
Blankenburg to conduct negotiations with
tho Philadelphia Rapid rrnnsu uompuii?,
ho. said, recommended in March, 1914, tire
Rapid Transit Company should bo given
the opportunity to co-operate with the
city by equipping and operating the
rnpid transit lines. If it Is willing to do
so upon any fair terms.
P. R. T. COULD CO-OPERATE.
Tho three Directors, ho coninued,
recommended that exchange tickets be
abolished gradually over a term of years.
Concerning the compensation to the com
pany for the abolition, no saia xney re
ported: t
"Wo wholly disapprove of tho sugges
tion which has been made that In return
for tho surrender by tho company of this
precarious source of revenue It should bo
relieved of an almost equal amount of
obligatory fixed charges now payable to
tho city. Such an arrangement would do-

Long-Road Car
The Far-Famed "54 "
We are showing today the latest model of the
famous Hudson "54."
This Is the big Hudson extremely roomy, powerful
and staunch.
It is built for two classes of motorists.
First, motorists who make long tours. It is extra
staunch and enduring. It has large gasoline capacity.
It has ample power for any road or hill. It has com
fort and room.
But it Is also for motorists who want size and dis
tinction in a city car.
It shows itself a super-car.
The model we now show is a four-year result
Howard E. Coffin, the chief Hudson designer, says:
'This is the best that I know In a big car."
It has every Improvement suggested by millions of
miles of hard driving. It is one of the finest produc
tions of the largest builders of quality cars In the world.
We can give Immediate delivery on a few of these
big cars. Come see them.

prlve tho city of n large and much-needed
revenue, and would seriously disorganize
our municipal finances. It would bo tnx
Ing the whole body of taxpayers for the
benefit of n smal' minority.
"Wo then recommended that the com
pany should bo relieved for n period of
10 years from tho payment of annual sink
ing fund charges now pnynble to the
city, averaging about JU0.0C0 n year.
"As I havo said, However, wo were un
able to reach any ngreement. Then
Director Taylor renewed negotiations, nnd
on May 23, 1914, bo succeeded In reaching
nn ngreement with tho Rapid Transit
Company. That ngreement covered every
point thnt haC been In dispute nnd wns
submitted by Director Taylor to tho
Mayor nnd Councils under dato of May
27. under the title, 'A Program for Rapid
Transit Development, with universal frco
transfers, resulting from conferences be
tween the Director of the Department of
City Transit and tho management of-the
PhlladelphlA Rnpid Transit Company.'
"Under that agreement tho only co
operation required of tho Union Trac
tion Company wns that It should make
from year to year tho extensions of ex
isting siii'fnce lines necessary to keep up
with tho growth of tho city, and that Its
stockholders should receive additional
dividends on their additional Investments.
It seems Incredible that the stockholders
of tie Union Traction Company should
fall to avail themselves promptly of an
arrangement so manifestly ndvnntngcous
to them, but they have thus far held
back; nnd this holding back has been
cited by tho Rapid Transit Company nnd
by its friends In Councils ns a reason
mi tno clty sl,ouIll hold back that the
million and three-qunrters of people of
the great city of Philadelphia should go
without proper transportation facilities
until such tlmo ns It might suit the Union
Traction stockholders to nccept a most
fuvorable proposal.
"In 1914 Taylor was through with plans
nnd studies, nnd Just when ho was ready
to make tho dirt fly, the fur began to
fly. Connelly fired tho first gun In Jan
uary, by Introducing a resolution for the
appointment of n committee to confer
with the Transit Company with a view
to securing tho abolition of exchnngp
tickets. The purpose of this move wns at
first obscure It seemed as If It was per
haps Just a cheap bid for popu'arlty, but
his purpose soon became evident when,
at the meeting of the committee on Feb
ruary 2, 1914, he made tho proposition that
exchange tickets should be abolished, nnd
that In return the city should relievo the
company from Its annual contribution of
$300,000, toward keeping tho paving of
tho streets it occupies in repair; from
1115,000 tax on dividends It now pays; nnd
from the annual sinking fund payment
of J120.000. He ndded that, he was 'pre
pared to go the limit to cairy this
'through Immediately'
"I havo neither time nor Inclination to
go over the long Councllmnnlc lecord of
1914. You will remember how It was nec
essary to build bonfires under them to
get them to move; how they held back
nnd paltered, nnd quibbled and delayed;
how it took nil the influence of public
opinion ns expressed by all the newspa
pers nnd trades-bodies to secure the pas
sage of the various ordinances that were

needed. Of course, nil this time Mr Con
nelly nnd every other Councilman, was
enthusiastically for Rapid Transit, and It
wns only caution, itnd a desire to safe
guard your Interests thnt mndo thorn so
slow. It wns not until February, 1915,
thnt McNichol dropped the mask, nnd
thon Councils followed their lender nnd
did the samo thing.
"Tho opposition to the transit loan res
olution had to bo abandoned, the resolu
tion went through the Legislature, nnd
the amendment is now before you for
adoption. It Is No. 2 on the ballot. Don't
forget to vote for It, whatever you may
do on Amendment No. 1.
COUNCILS FOLI.OW McNICHOL.
"1 wild that Immediately after Mc
Nichol dropped the mask, Councils fol
lowed his lend. On February II, 1915, tho
Transit Department made n report to
Councils requesting them to provide for n
special election to authorize) tho borrow
ing of JVW.WM to start transit work.
Accompanying1 tho report were carefully
I reputed forms of ordinances In which
tho routes were specified. You will recnll
how Mr. Connelly's Finance Commlttco
first reported out nn ordlnnnce In which
some winning legnl hnnd hnd Incorpor
ated provisions that would have mndo
, It wholly Illegal and void. Again, under
i tho pressure of nroused public opinion,
It wnii restored to legal form, but two
, vital practical provisions wero omitted
, tho dellviry loop, nnd the Darby line,
Why nro these Vltnl? Ilccnuso without
I tho delivery loop, tho City llntl station
of the flroad Street Subway would be
culled on to hnndlo 20),0'X) passengers n
t day. When I tell you thnt tho llioad
Street Station of the Pennsylvania Ilnil
rond with 13 tracks Is tnxed to hnndlo
80,000 passengers n day, nnd thnt tho
(Srnnrt, Central and Atlantic Avenue
(Brooklyn) stations of tho New York sub
way handle only 00,000 nnd (.8,000 n day
respectively, I need not add anything to
convince you that this would be nn abso
lutely unworknblo nnd Impossible propo
sition. Without n delivery loop, the Itrond
street lino should not bo built.
"It Is nn Integral nnd vital pnrt of It.
So tho Darby line, whllo pcrhnps not as
Important In Itself ns somo others. Is a
necessary complement to tho Frankford
llns. A lino from Frn'.ikford to Darby,
running cither through the Market street
f subway or n new Chestnut street sub
way, feeding from both ends, and, run
ning through the "delivery district,"
would be a very profitable line; but a
lino running only from Frankford to 2d
nnd' Arch (streets would fall to servo
public convenience nnd would not bo
nearly so profitable and, jnnrk you, tho
construction of this line has been au
thorized without n ngreement having
been made for the use of tho Market
street subway or any provision for the
construction of n Chestnut street subwny
If tho use of tho Market street subway
on reasonable terms should be refused
You mny nsk why the Mayor signed nn
ordlnnnce containing these grave defects.
Remuso they are curable! If you will
elect next Tuesday a Mayor and Councils
wmi nie really In favor of rapid transit
on fair terms, these omissions can readily
be supplied; but If you elect an Organi
zation Mar nnd Councils you will bo
c'ellvcrlng yourselves, bound nnd gagged,
crated nnd tagged, to the mercies of tho
Transit i ompnny. It needs no prophet
tu forcHee the day when you will be told
that Taylor's plans wero fnulty; that
costs nro going to he too high; that the
lines won't pay. and that the only thins
to do Is to ntcept some ngreement thnt
the Transit Company will generously

The people we

they could fade into

And then along comes
someone who flashes

and shocks you into
the realization that

an individual no
mere cog in the wheel

When such a man enters

he has come in. When he

he has finished.

Who Is Daly, What Is He
That All the World Smiles With Him ?
WHAT American
newspaper reader
does not know and love
Philadelphia's own Tom
Daly roseate realist, poet,'
philosopher, humorist, ro
manticist of the city streets?
Perhaps he is best known
for his poems in Italian and
Irish dialect poems that
bare to us the sentiment,
the music, the humor and
the pathos that lurk in the
soul of the stranger within
our gates.
Tom Daly is the man who
can see a reincarnate "Mich-
ael Angelo" in an Italian haunts and habits through
barbei; or discover "Gari- the whimsical spectacles of
baldi's" heart beating "our Tom."
