Palmer Denounces
"Barter in ftlood"
.
Centlnned frem Pace One
prlaed If draatle aetlon came from the
While Ilonae In the near future. Mr. Palmer
la a very eloae friend of Trealdent Mllann,
This makea Oils remark of exceptional sic
ninranre.
Mr Palmer declared that the action of
(lovernor Brumbaugh In placing machine
politicians on the exemption boards was
an Insult to President Wilson and a slur
on honest patriotism No other State In
the Union, he said, had so violated all the
laws of a civilized people in a tune ut na
tional stress
"In T.ackawanna County." he said, we
have from twenty-seven to thirty mem
hers on tho exemption board, and every
ono of them Is not only a Ilepubllcan, but
also a ward or countv worker. Governor
Brumbaugh nppolnted the most active ne
puhlican machine men In the county In
cluding tho Ilepubllcan boss, J P Schlager.
Tour of tho appointees are candidates for
county ofllces
'One of the men on tho board was con
victed of election crimes some years ago
"Now Lackawanna County has n popu
lation of more than .100,000 people, nnd Is
one of tho most Important counties In the
State, This thing has aroused such a. storm
of Indlgnntlon that this morning one of the
lending Independent Republicans of the
county, a mnn who has held high State of
fice, told mo that although he was a Ilepub
llcan he could not condone present condi
tions Ho told me that the people of Lacka
wanna County were aroused to a high pitch,
nnd he predicted that there would be trou-
nle unless something wns done to correct
the outrage
"In fact, things got so warm this morn
ing in I.ncknwannn that one of the Repub
lican nrganlrntlon men on the exemption
board tendered his resignation He was
Sheriff Ben H Philips, candidate for County
Treasurer
.Vow I Hin convinced thit the only way
to keep politics out of a thing like this Is
to liavp all sons of political beliefs repre
ented on the exemption boards It was
the President's wish to have all political
beliefs represented on the boards
ri:w nn.MociiATS o.v boards
In Liuernc County the Governor threiv
out the recommendations of Major Ilosek,
of Wllkes-Barre, a Democrat, and ap
pointed his own machine politicians Somo
of thee men are good nnd somo are bad
'In Lancaster, the biggest ngrleulturnl
countv In the State, the Governor nppolnted
all Republicans on the exemption board,
with the exception of one Democrat In
Panphln county all the appointees were
Iti-puhllcnns with the exception of one so
called Democrat
ATTP.MPTr.D I1AHTRII OK BLOOD
Small wonder that protests are pouring
In to the President from all partB of the
Slate The pfoplo me beginning to see the
sinister power back of these Republican or
K!iiil7t!on exemption boards They see the
pMsslbllitlH of n great battering In blood
"I want to usk who wants to see his sou
liarteied away by corrupt politicians whllo
nlher sons, pet haps more fitted for military
service aro slated to lemaln Ht home safe
trotu German cannon?
"It la up to the citizen of Pennsylvania,
whether or not they will stnnd for this
hideous outrage Arc we going to allow the
cnriuptlonlstR to place even the flower of
patriotism Into the gum pot to be boiled
down for selfish purposes' Are we going
to allow tho ward heelers and the county
bn sea to say whose son shall go Into the
trenches nnd who shall remain at home?
POLITICS 1.NS1T.AD OF PATRIOTISM
"The President has tne power to change
all of these appointments, and when he
hears the truth. I believe he will take action
The President had faith In the patriotism of
the Oovernots of the States, and that Is
why he put the por of appointment Uji
lo Governors. , , ,
'Pennsylvania. 1 believe. Is the onlyfaUle
which has disappointed the expectat cms of
the President In the matter of patriotism.
"All the way through we have sJen evi
dence that politics has been substltuteu
for natrlnilam In thin flints. Take the Com
mittee of Public Safety, of which 0oje
Wharton Pepper Is chairman. Of the zzb
men appointed on that committee only six
are Democrats, and the Kxecutlve Commit
tee has not one Democrat.
"And what has happened since the ap
pointment of that committee? Why, we
have witnessed the spectacle of a disgrace
ful quarrel over the nuestlon of who should
spend the money The fight wound UP with
the Penrose men In authority. The money
Is now being spent under the direction of
these Penrose men,
William A Carr, a member of the Regis
tration Commission nnd a Democrat, today
denied the Palmer accusations.
"All moonshine," he said "I don't think
politics had anj thing to do with it'
