The league, Chairman Wallace
k I
n ounces significantly, has made so
alliances Hi the ilou.-e and will hav
strength enough to defeat any measure
.which It does not consider meritorious
'lis claims further that It may hae BUf- .
flcient strength to pass name measures
Any alliance, fhalrman Wallace de
clares, will be merely for the purpose of
assisting meritorious legislation and to i
bring uliout a successful consummation I
of the Governor s If glslallve program. At-
tempts to "railroad" anv bill will meet
with determined opposition from the i
league. I
Members of the new league rount otr a
otinp strength, including their alleged !
alliance, of from seventy-five to one htin-!
dred. Ordinarily this would be a ma-1
jorlly In the House, where theie are
always several 'vacancies'.
Virtually all of the members of the
league are "drys," and some opposition
Is expected from the "wets.'' Chairman
Wallace and Representative Vlckerman,
floor leader of the "drys," claim the league
will be ready to meet all opposition. No
efforts will be made to have the organ
ization hostile -ts a whole to the liquor
forces. Views on the liquor nuestlon will
not Influence the Judgment of the steer
ing committee In dealing with bills of
"wets."
"Pro-Sproul and pro-good legislation"
Is the way Chairman Wallace describes
the purpose of the new body. Members
of the league do irot hesitate to declare,
however, that any hostility from the
"wet" forces will meet with retaliatory
incisures from the league.
On the sort of alliances that the league
makes In the House will largely depend
the fate of the Philadelphia charter leg
islation. If the lenffun lint fnrmeil nn

The Vares hae begun to play for the
support of the "drjs," who foim the big
majority In the new league. Itepresenta-
jj tfva John It. K Scott's light to recommit
the Dithrlch Judgeship bill for a public
hearing on Monday night Is regarded as
the first open move on the part of the
Vare floor leader to win the support of
"Vlckerman, Wallace and other potential
figures In the "drv" .amp.
Vlckerman Introduced the resolution to
recommit the bill The tponsor of the
resolution knew that more than enough
votes In the House were pledged to the
bill to put It through, but (.ought the aid
of Scott lit supporting the lesolutlon so
as to arouse hostility of the Pittsburgh

V mMnrton, Feb. 12. Success of the
Bolshevik- movement In Russia was al
1 trlbuted to aid from the lower East Side
' of New York by the Rev. a. A. Simons,
former head, of the Methodist l'plscopal
Church In Russia, testifying today at the

Into lawless agitation In the United

people In general
Referring to Bolshevism, Doctor Si
mons said:
"I liave a firm conviction that this
agitation ts Yiddish and that one ot Its
bases Is In the lower East Side of New
York. I don't think the Bolshevik move
ment In Russia would have been a suc
cess except for the support It got In
New- York on the Kast Side."
I'ro-tiermnnlim Develops
Immediately after the Kerensky
revolution early In 1917, Doctor Simons i
said, sentiment in Russia was pro-Ally,
but within a few months, when the Bol-
shevlk movement developed, a strong
pro-German current developed with
more than half the ngltators Jews, In

He added that the women reported see
ing German documents bearing German
stamps on the table and heating Ger

language might have been Yiddish in
stead of German.
As evidence of German Influence In
Russia, Doctor Simons declared that

The Essex must have made a hundred thousand
friends since January 16th, the day on which it was
first shown in all parts of the country by hundreds of
dealers.
It is the new light, moderate priced car that has the
endurance, comfort and rich completeness that you
expect only in large and costly automobiles.
You remember the first advertisements did not de
scribe the Essex'. Every word applicable to it has
already been used to describe some other automobile.
So it was decided the Essex must speak for itself.
It does this by its appearance and performance, but
most of all in the way it retains its newness.
It Surprised All As It Will You
Our visitors were not told what to expect in the Essex.'
We said, go take, a ride in it, then we will talk to you
aboift it. But when they came back '
they did the talking.
Many of the hundreds of visitors who
rode in the Essex have been doing
business with us for long time.
They know .the kind of cart we sell. ,
Under those circumstances they were
not as skeptical as they might other
wise have been. But even i f they had
felt uncertain because of the newness
of the Essex, all doubt was removed
as soon as they had ridden in It.
That is a distinctive characteristic of
the Essex. It is remarked by nearly
thereby cripple Russia after war open
ed. Thl strike was put down by the
old regime.
One American Negro
Doctor Simons aatd he now was hav
ing Investigated a report comln to him
on apparently' good authority that the
governing committee of the northern
commune In Petrograd In December,
1918, contained only sixteen true Rus
sians, 2SG persons from New York, and
one American negro, calling himself Pro-
A fessor Gordon.
Discussing BolsheviK propaganda in
the United States, Dr. Simons said he
frequently visited the Rand School of
8oclal Science In New York to buy Us
literature, which he described as "some
of the most seditious stuff I have ever
found." Ho added that nineteen out
of twenty persons at this school were
Jews.
The witness told the committee that
Bolshevist agitators persistently fol
lowed him when he delivered lectures
on Russia, and frequently distributed at
the door pamphlets, entitled, "Seventy
six Questions and Answers," on Bol
shevism In Russia, written by Albert
Rhys Williams, one of the speakers at
a recent meeting In Washington, which
prompted . the Senate committee's new
Inquiry. A paragraph on religion of the
Bolshevist system In this booklet was
described by Dr. Simons as an "inter
esting fairy tale."
Questioned about an American negro
In Bolshevist councils called "Professor
Gordon." Doctor Simons said In the
United States, Gordon had been a pug
list and In Petrograd a doorkeeper at
the American embassy.
Later lie as
sumed the title of professor of physical
culture ana coxing, ai one lime, uocior
aimcns saiu, ma iitKro v,miieu ip ntawj
a "Russian lady" and asked him to per-1
form the ceremony.
American propaganda in Russia, seek
ing to explain real motives of the United
States In the war, irritated the Bolshe
vists, the witness said, and Russian agi
tators posted bills referring t6 the "flesh
eating, blood-drlnktnc Allies."
"Most real Bolshevists have hatred
for Kngland and the Allies and affection
for Germany," he added, "althcush many
displayed a tendency to maintain friendly
lelatlons with tho United States."

than the sense of sight must be gratified.
The Essex is beautiful to behold. The very feel of the
comfortable cushions, with their high backs, asso
ciates the moderate priced Essex with costly cars.
The owner need never apologize for either its appear
ance or performance. Squeaks do not develop, as in
other cars of its type, because an unusually, heavy
frame assures absolute rigidity. Body bolts cannot
work loose. The finish will long retain its freshness.
Ride In Tho Essex Over Rough Reads
We are demonstrating the Essex over the roughest
pavements. It reveals a new and distinctive riding
quality. You might easily think you, are in a long
1 wheelbase car weighing two or mora
tons. This feature alone will appeal
to you with more .than ordinary
interest.
The Essex motor deserves your
special attention. Note how it ' is
arranged to get the maximum power
from every drop of gasoline. See how
stable and free from destructive vi
bration it is. It is free from the need
of tinkering and frequent attention.
The Essex has stability. Ithasquality'
as well 'as lightness; endurance and
comfort as well as a low first cost.
These things are apparent to those
who see and ride in the Essex.
