ize Says Election Re
turns Demand It
'WAITING ON OLD GUARD
Ttoland S. Morris, the power with Vvnes
-McCormlck In Democratic reorftanltatlon
circles In Pennsylvania, salt! today that
never slnco his eritranco Into twlltlcs had
he received as many complaints regarding
election Irretrularltles as had drifted Into
him trom Democratic workers In the organ
isation wards since election day.
This was regarded by politicians as ns
rurance that a Federal probo would result.
Irrespective tit whether the organization
committee of the "Old Guard" Democratic
city commlttco presses or drops action In
the election' frauds cases at Its meeting to
morrow afternoon.
"The condition Is serious," said Mr. Mor
rls. "I have received notices of many al
leged frauds during the election aftermath.
Kven discounting partisan prejudice and ths
natural deslto to make a good showing. It
Is safo to say thnt tho complaints em
body sovcro charges."
rtEonaANizEna await events
While the reorganization Democrats ara
.(lowing the "Old Ouard" faction to pur
sue their Investigation of alleged frauds
without Interference, It Is tho general be
lief that tho meeting of the organization
commlttco tomorrow afternoon will de
velop nothing that will warrant a Federal
probo.
tt Is considered likely, however, that tho
reorsanlzatlon faction has within Its
possession evidences of fraud that will war
rant a Drobe by Francis Fisher Kano,
United States District Attorney. It wns
"intimated today that tho result might bo n
political upheaval that will purge tho cen
tral and 'river wards of tho usual amount
of lllegat voting.
This probo Is considered probable In splto
of tho fact thnt Mr. Kano said this morning
that the Federal statutes limited tho scope
of Investigation. "Thoro must bo proof of
conspiracy," said Mr. Knno.
"There must bo a conspiracy," said Mr.
Kane, "to Injuro, oppress or Intimidate, and
tho courts nro not likely to oxtend the
meaning ot these words. In tho Moseley
case It was applied to olcctlon oitlccrs who
at together and agreed to omit from their
returns tho "votos cast by lawfully qualified
TOters."
Democratic leadera reverted to political
history of Philadelphia a half century back
to Illustrate thelr reason why fraud was
committed. Just as Democratic leaders of
tho river wards (thon overwhelmingly Dem
ocratic) attempted to stem tho tide of
sentiment In .favor of tho then vigorous
Republican pnrty, bo Organization lenders
of today nttempted to stem tho tldo of Wil
son sentiment that Democratic leaders ca
tlmato was at least 115,000 -strong In this
city,
"Tho Irony of It Is," said ono of tho
leaders today, "that It was Democrats ot
several decades ago who taught the Or
ganization men what they nre doing or
aro alleged to havo done on election day."

What authorities say about
The Navy as a Fighting
Machine
By Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske
"The book should be read by every one at all interested in
the Navy, and every naval officer and law-maker should have
it in his library." Admiral George Deb-eji.
"Admiral Fiske's deep study of naval strategy, and his power
of clear expression, have won him a reputation as a writer on
naval subjects second to no living officer. His book will un
doubtedly attract wide attention and come as a valuable addi
tion to current literature." ;Aarme Corpt Gazelle,
"Admiral Fiske's book should be read by every American
and carefully thought over after reading." Aen York Sun.
"May be regarded as the fruits of the author's seasoned
judgment and studious research as a naval strategist.
Accomplished in admirable style of brevity, lucidity and simplicity
of terms. A service to that reading public which will,
through this book, come into a full knowledge of the importance
of the Navy as a fighting machine," 4rmj and Aavy Reg'uter,

A Piano You
Be Proud Of
Will
!-
Don't buy a piano as you would an article of wearing
apparel at an auction sale. Its purchase is deserving of
serious thought and consideration. Yet many buyers have
in mind only the price and terms.
9 Let some dealers advertise certain suits of clothing at ridiculously
low prices, consisting of materials with wearing qualities similar to
cheesecloth, and there will be many applicants to visit the store and
some few will purchase, realizing later that the material they invest
ed in had about as much quality as cheesecloth. '
9 Every home should have a piano. It costs but little more to own
a good piano, in which you will have confidence, than an inferior-one.
fl There is a reason for your requesting the grocer to give you Uneeda Biscuits
instead of just soda crackers. Why do you insist on a special brand of collar in
stead of simply asking for a collar? Because the maker has put his name on the
article and stands back of it with his reputation, his capital and his guarantee;
fl And so witf. a piano. The name "CUNNINGHAM" spells quality and durability.
A dealer who sells pianos, stenciling them some fancy name, is like the merchant
who, when asked for a certain kind of goods, informs you that he has not what you
ask for, but something just as good, and forces you to buy a substitute.
fl A piano is an article which should be referred to with pride in your household,
and a CUNNINGHAM Piano means complete satisfaction.
