frankly declares that he Ih "in polilluK" i
tor the purpose of securing tho election
of candidate for tho I-CBlslaturo in j
Pennsylvania who win vote for rutin- i
tatlon of tho prohibition anifiuhnent to I
the constitution of the United State".
Bishop Derry declaies ho Is "com
mitted, body, brain mid soul, to the
task of helping rid l'cniis.vrv.inlii U'uii
liquor control," and calls on the voters
to enlist In a "seven years' wir" If
necessary to win the Unlit for piuhlbt
tlon. Ho also takes the position that
tho next governor must bo In hcatl)
wympathy with the prohibition move
ment. It Is believed his statement
places him squarely In opposition to any
candidate that may be named by Sena
tor Tenrosa In tho primaries this ear.
The statement of lllshop Deny fol-

"I am merely lepeatlai; a well-known

"Among tho measuies which will hao

will bo only after a struggle with the
Immense commeiclal and political pow cl
ot tho liquor interest Victory may not

be counted on to do their utmost to free
Pennsylvania trom the liquor curse.

The Ludwig Trio-Reproducing
Art Expression. Player-Piano
Brings Into Every Home the Music of the Masters
as It Is Played by the Artists of Today
Just as the New Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph
actually re-creates the voice of the living singer, so
does the Ludwig Trio re-create the playing of Leo
Roberts, Harold Bauer, Rudolph Ganz and other
great artists.
The Trio-Art Expression is different from all other
player-pianos. Its music throbs with human feel
ing. It satisfies your hunger for real music.
And you may play it three ways by hand, with
the foot pedals or by electricity, reproducing music
as it is played by the artists of today.
We invite you to hear this wonder instrument,
which will open for you a new realm of musical
enjoyment.
