Mr. ilealy preferred to tell how much he

"Philadelphia's equipment, the cars, on

Ha magnanimously omitted mentioning
that while Chicago's cars are older there
are a great many more of them, that, they

rpiIE South nnd tho West, which eecm to have llttlo In common, havo elected
a President nnd have chosen n Confrrogg. New York nnd New England nro

certain things. Dut their beliefs nro of little Importance In the actual conduct
of tho country, for tho South nnd tho West, even though they havo little In
common, have that llttlo strongly in

And that little is distrust of tho
property-minded political leadership
of the Enit nnd tho North. Twico
has tho nation seen that leadership
revealed nt its worst four years ago
when, with n criminal greed for
domlnanco thinly veiled, they throt
tled tho liberal majority in tho Re
publican party at Chicago, nnd then
when, in Juno of this year, tho snmo
cold-blooded, crafty group sat un
moved by n nation's appeal for genu
inely Progressive leadership nnd a
Progressive plntform.
The country asked for Roosevelt,
nnd they gac it Hughcr, Hughes
nnd Fairbanks. A convention that
was a sort of compromise between a
directors meeting nnd a memorial
Hcnlco nominated two estimable
mates who, singing through America
over the nnlty of human frailty,
could conduct nothing but n funeral.
And tho gorgeously funny part of

Amoricnnlsm is fundamentally democratic.
Amcricnnism is robuRt, sturdy, hilarious, rampant; it is something that holds
"tho glory nnd the freshness of n dream."
Hut barring the lusty whacks from the Colonel's busy battlcax, wc had in
this campaign for Americanism nothing but tears nnd vain regrets.
Those team nnd vnin regrets did not move the South. The South was

seekers Shattered
PLAN ECONOMY POLICY
Thousands of municipal officeholders and
hundreds of place seekers have had their
hopes of financial affluence shattered by
Mayor Smith's statement that, at this time,
no salary Increases or new places will be
allowed. The Mayor bases his stand upon
the fact that Councils' Finance Commltteo
has already approved expenditures for 1917
totaling 137,127,891 In the face of esti
mated revenues of but 133,781,557.31.
Despite the flat statement of the Mayor
many office seekers bellove that the de
mands of departmental heads will be
granted later on, when the fear of the
political effect of a material Increase In the
tax rate on realty Is less pronounced or
after additional sources of revenue are
found. The question of additional revenue
and tax rates will be taken up next week,
but the Major's stsnd effectually puts a
stop to further dlscutslon of new places
nnd Increases of expenditures.
Tho Mayor's statement comes as a gen
eral surprise In view of tho fact that be has
aeked Councils to Increase salaries of em
ployes In his own department and to pro
vide funds for a new bureau. Ills plan
for a standard scale of salaries Is hoped
to result In the equalization of many places.

REFUSED TO OBEY SCHOOL LAW
19 Parents Fined for Defying Compul

Jail to Paying Penalty
Nlnotcen parents of school children were
fined S2 and costB by Magistrate Stevenson
nt hlB ofllco today because they refused
to send their children to school; nine paid
the fine and costs without a murmur, but
tho other ten paid only tho costs nnd said
they would rather stay the five days In
Jail than pay up. Seventeen other negligent
parents were also summoned by the Magis
trate, but did not answer tho summons.
They have been sent for and will have a
hearing on Monday.
The prosecutions were made by the dis
trict school heads, who stated that the rea
son there wero so many parents being
prosecuted at this time was because boys
and girls were being paid such a high
wuge In offices and mills that they would
rather have their children earn money than

Htf was crossing the Heading tracks at

up several minutes later and found that
hli pockets had been turned Inilde out, his
watch stolen, but his money was tightly

WASHINGTON. Nov 11 A corrupt
practices act "with teeth" will bo ono of the
first pieces of legislation which President
Wilson will nsk nf Congress. Just what
form It will take has not been decided, but
It Is certain that It will limit expenditures
of money by national committees In presi
dential and congressional elections It will
nlso bo so drnwn that n stop will be put to
largo expenditures by Individuals on their
own responsibility According to Informa
tion reaching here, there was much of the
latter dono In the recent campaigns and
both parties hnd the benefit.
Talk 6f a congressional Investigation to
determine how much money was used lias
died down here For a time certain Demo
cratic leaders were insisting that they had
cvldenco that an enormous corruption fund
had been used against tho re-election of
President Wilson, but now they admit they
have no evidence to support any such con
tentlon It Ii expected that the western
Republicans wilt work with the Democrats
In framing the corrupt practices net and It
is certain that It will In no way be a par
tisan measure,
HEWAItDS FOH THH FAITHFUL
Senators and representatives who aro re
turning here today agree that the money
spent In the recent campaign was for too
much, The great question confronting the
politicians Is what lino Hie new political
combination of the South and West will
take In Its legislation. There Is no ques
tion that the Western Congressmen will de
mand real recognition from tho Wilson Ad
ministration nnd thero seemed today a
strong possibility that many fat jobs now
held by Eastern Democrats would be
switched to the men of the prairies and the
mountains who did yeoman service for
President Wilson In the bnttlo of last
Tuesday.
So far as cabinet changes are concerned
It was said on authority today that this was
one matter to which the President hnd
paid no attention. It naturally Is accepted
that thero will be some changes, as two or
throo members of tho present cabinet are
anxious to go back to private life. How
ever, It Is understood that the President
will pay no attention to these changes until
after the first of the year. When he re
turns here next week he Is expected to begin
work on his annual meiuago to CongreBs,
which reconvenes next month.
OIldANlZATION OF THH HOUSE
Meanwhile the question of organlxatlon
of the next House was a potent subject of
conversation here today. On the surface
the Democrats have' one more member than
the Republicans, having won In New Mex
Ico, making the count Democrats, 216 ;
Hepubllrans, 21S, with a Progressive Pro
tectionist from Louisiana, a Progressive
from Minnesota, a Socialist from New
York and a Prohibitionist from California
to be counted on. Hut the Democrats ex
pect that a recount In the 3d New Jersey
District w 111 re-elect Thomas J, Scully, and
that they will also gain In the 21st Penn
sylvania District, where W. K. Tobias
claims that the complete figures, with the
soldier vote, will give him the election.
And still they're paying 'em.
Losers In the presidential election, who
had been hoping ngalnst hope that Wilson
really wasn't elected, today were fulfilling
their obligations and paying the freak bets
made when tho a. O. P looked like a cure
winner. Here are some of them:

Thompson street, pushed Harry tlerlach, a
butcher, 3G24 Warnock street. In a street

A fnt man using two bricks as stepping
stones made a elow and perilous crossing

HUGHES URGED TO TELL
WILSON OF VICTORY
CONTEND FOR SPLIT VOTE
OF CALIFORNIA ELECTORS
THIEVES LOOT FUR SHOP
Thousands of Dollars' Worth Stolon
After Clever Entrance
Thieves sawed and hacked their vvny
through the celling of CoUen Brothers' fur
shop, 207 South Ninth street, last night
nnd stole a quantity of furs valued at
several thousand dollar!.
Tho fur shop occupies the first floor at
that address and the two upper floors of
the three-story building are vacant. It Is
believed by the police of the Fifteenth and
Locust streets station that the thieves, using
a twenty-foot Udder In the back yard, got
Into the second story through a window
and bored their way through the celling
to avoid sounding tho burglar alarm on tho
front door, and so their might have time,
shielded from the view of passei-jby on the
sidewalk, to choose the more valuable furs
of the shop, as they did.
November Temperature Above Normal
November temperatures have ranged from
1 to 11 degrees above normal, saji Fore
caster Bllas The normal temperature for
November 11 la 47. and the thermometer
registered (2 at S o'clock this morning.
The only day thus far this month When
the average has not been above normal was
on November i. when both the average and
the normal were 49 degree. The warm
weather has not broken local records. Three
years ago, from November 19 to 21, the
average dally temperature ranged from Bl
to B degrees. Fair and colder weather Is
promised for tomorrow.
Store Thieves Bore Through Ceiling
Thieves bored their way through the cell
Jng of, the store of CoUen Brnth.r. nt to7
South, Ninth street, and. took furs, valued at
tMveraJ hundred daUars, early today. The
M HI
Continued from rase One
or of being recognlied by Progressive lead
era was the climax of the situation here."
Howell added that Hughes himself was
personally blamelets In this connection,
saying those who managed his trip here
were responsible.
'The Progressive leaders faithfully aun-
ported Hughes," he said, "and succeeded In
Inducing tho majority of tho Progressives
to follow them, but the minority, added to
the labor vote and the paclflat woman's
vote, turned the tide for Wilson.
One newspaper quotcB Howell as declar
ing thnt from now on the Weat will dom
inate tho nation's politics.
Replying to stories that Hughes's "snub
bing of Governor Johnson" had defeated
Hughes for tho presidency, William H.
Crocker, Ilcpubllcan national committeeman.
who was mainiy in cnurge or Hughes's
California tour, declared there had never
been any snub, He asserted that he per
sonally had InVlted Johnson to accompany
him to the Oregon line to greet Hughes, bu
that Johnson had declined to go.
General Harrison Cray Otls'a Los Angeles'
Times toaay puDiianeu an eunorial declar
ing that Hughes was "doubfe-croaaed by
the teachery of the Johnson political ma
chine" and that this machine had "stuck
a knife Into Hughes and shamelessly
flouted him."
Centlnneil from Pate One
showed greater strength than In 1912. but
there has not yet been nny ofTlclal estimate
of the aixe of the vote. The Now York
Call, the leading Socialist newspaper In
the United States, claims that more than
1,000.000 votes wero cast for Allan Benson,
the Socialist candidate for President.
The future of Mr. Hughei Is In doubt.
Having left tho Supreme Court bfcnch to
accept the presidential nomination, he Is
now put In a poiltlon which will probably
compel him to return to tho practlco of law.
Mr. Hughes, while not conceding defeat,
Is making It clear that no hasty nnd Ill
advised action will be taken, especially In
tho matter of making nny charges of Ir
regularities This determination Ii taken
by the Democrats as another Indication that
the Hepublicans aro preparing to surrender
ns gracefully as possible.
EXPECT ROOSEVELT BOOM
New York Republican1? Prepare for
Reorganization
NHW TOIIK, Nov. 11. In Republican
circles It Ii taVen for granted that a Roose
velt presidential boom for 1920 will get
under way before many months. Friends of
Colonel Roosevelt are counting on the
Progrexslves who followed him Into the Re
publican fold to capture the party for him,
oven though his refusal to be the standard
bearer of the Progressives may have
alienated from him the Bull Moose element-)
thnt chose to remain In the middle of the
road.

Brothers "Bill" and "Ed"

Varetown cannot figure It out. On Tues
day night and well Into Wednesday morn
ing Brothers "Bill" and "Ed" paraded
Broad street at the liead of a hoit that
wi noisily acclaiming the election of
Chartea Kvarrs Hughes.
But that blare and uproar were as gall
and wormwood to the South Philadelphia
leaders.
Control of a Governor, of a State's po
litical machinery, of a Mayor, of City Coun

brothers. Their followers, in their blind,
enthusiasm, might shout and cheer, but
the chiefs to whom they acknowledge alls
glance were "sore."
But today a new paradox presents Itself
to the mystification of South Philadelphia
Wilson has won. Four years more of,
Democratic government lodges In Washing
ton. And tho commonalty of Varetown be
holds Its leaders complacently viewing the
revivified disciples of tho Prlncetonlan sage
jubilate over the triumph of "watchful wait
Ing" as applied to election returns.
And those Vare brothers, to their cohorts,
appear almost Joyful that tho first report
that Hughes had swept the country have
been contradicted. Have they turned Demo
crats? Aro they glad that the postmaster
ship, port collectorBhlp, Internal revenue col.
lectorshlp, mint superlntendency, sublrea.
urershlp and the other Federal posts are
to remain In Democratic hands?
These berths are not only lucrative to
the- big fish who fall Into them, but they
ofton carry snug places for stowing away
tho smaller fry.
And who doesn't know that there Is a
Vare man ready for any unwary Job, Fed
eral, State or municipal, that dares to ven

Several thousand Varetown voters may
bo enlightened by the knowledge that It
waB political harl-karl for the Vare broth,
ers to participate In that procession of Tuen
day night.
Republican 'victory to them meant the en
thronement beyond question of United
States Senator Boles Penrose as dispenser
of Federal patronage In this Commonwealth
and municipality.
Their party triumphant, yet they. Its
local and State leaders, wero dlssplrlted.
At the White House for four years te
come their factional arch enemy would be
persona grata after March C, 1917. ,Had
he not been called upon during the cam
paign by Chairman Wlllcox and tho Inner
cabal at national headquarters to sit la
their councils and offer his advice and ex
perience? That counsel had been taken, the
fight was won. and now ho, the eenlor
Senator from Pennsylvania, would dictate
for tho Keystone State those faithful te
whom tho plums should fall when Presi
dent Hughes should set afoot that Jack
sonlan principle of "turning the rascals
out."
in such heavy mood tho Yares led their
hosts up Broad street on Tuesday night.
Prospectively, they vUloned Penrose
McNIchol adherents occupying those com
fortable Federal berths. For what had they
rolled up that splendid Majority In their
southern bailiwick? Their supporters, leae
far lighted, might rejoice. Little did they
reckon how that majority spelled the sulci
dal racrlflce of personal feeling on tho altar
of party loyalty.
Their party's victory meant only the de
feat of their hopes for national leadership
and tho further strengthening of their an
tagonists' forces within the State and city
thtough the Federal dispensation.
The mutations of time have demonstrated
the uncertainty of early election returns,
and while Vara followers today pay off
their bets and Badly prepare to confront
four year more of Wilson, their leaders re
joice that credit for port development.
League Island enlargements new Postofflce
nnd Custom House and whatever other
Government Improvements might liavo been
projected for Philadelphia, not to mention
thoso Federal Jobs during the next admin
istration, will not redound to the fame of
Boles Penrose, Jamei P. McNIchol or In
any other way be stolen from Vare brothers.

WILSON VICTORY WITHOUT AID
OF NEW YORK PLEASES BRYAN
Says Result Will Remove Pressure.
Against Progressive Legislation
DENVHR, Col. Nov, 11. William J.
Bryan, who was here yesterday, made the
following comment on the result of the
election: "
"A Democratic President has been elect-
ed without the aid of New York, and that ,
Is something new in American politics.
While it would havo relieved anxiety dur- ,
Ing the last thirty-six hours to nave nao
the vote of New York In the Democrat!"
column, still, since we did not get the
New York support, we may as well get all
the consolation out of It that we can.
"The fact that New York was buppomh (
to be necessary has been a restraining In- i
fluence on wide progressive legislation dur
ing previous administrations. President WI1
m wna the first President In many years
who has been independent of Wall street,
and It Is greatly to the credit or Hiawi
west of tho Alleghenies that they can ap- .i
predate anil regard Independence."
On prohibition, Bryan said the constitu
tional amendment was adopted In Nebraska
by 30,000 or more, only eight counUei la
the State voting wet.
