Former Representative Heads
the Bonniwell Slate for Nom
ination Platform Later
Former Itopresentathc Michael Don
oh oo tossed bis hut Into the ring this
afternoon as a candidate for the Dep
ocratlc mayoralty nomination.
Announcement was made recently by
Judge Iionnlwell that he would support
a Democratic slate headed by Mr. Don
ohoc. Later It was denied that the
former member of Congress would seek
the Democratic nomination.
Ho settled tho question this afternoon
by making a formal announcement of
his candidacy, nnd nppcaled to. all
Democrats for support, "regardless of
factional opinions."
The Bonniwell ticket will oppose the
Democratic idty committee ticket, which
has not yet been named, and is be
lieved to be a .prelude to a state-wide
factional light among the Democrats for
control of ,the state organization.
Bitter Rival of Moore
Mr. Donoboe and Kcprescntative
Moore were bitter rivals during the
former's term in Congress over the
Delaware river Improvement.
The former representatives an
nouncement of his candidacy follows:
"In response to the urging of many
friends, I have determined to announce
my candidacy for 'the Demociatic nom
ination for the great office of Mayor
of Philadelphia. The open primaries
having for their object the submission
of the cloimB of every candidate to tRe
whole body of electorate, give to me,
as to every Democrat, the right to ap
peal to my fellow citizens under the
provisions of the primary election law.
Therefore, I invite the cordial bupport
of Democrats, regardless of factional
opinions, with the hope that if chosen
by them there will result a minority
party in the city of Philadelphia, which
will be a deterrent, at least, upon ma
jority extravagance nnd misrule.
Platform to Como I-iter
"Later in the campaign I will pre
sent a more complete platform. As a
result of the factionnl strife now pend
ing in the majority party, my candi
dacy may afford an opportunity to good
citizens, regardless of partj, to en
deavor to make a winning campaign
for the majoralty ; but at any rate, upon
my record of service to my city and
of unfaltering allegiance to the high
est principles of real democracy, 1 sub
mit Tnysclf to the judgment of my fel
low Democrats."

rates ccr known "
"Something should be done, and done
speedilv, on this question," Congress
man Moore said. lie added that he
had urged an investigation into existing
4conditions while in Congres, and that
a lnrge appropriation was made to en
' able Attorney General Palmer "to go
nfter the offenders."
"This high cost of living problem has
been up since 1012." he said, "and the
attorney general has just started to
move."
Congressman Moore also discussed
the plan of Judge Patterson to give up
his salan during his campaign.
Has Need for Salary
"I regret to say that I shall not fol
low suit," the congressman said , "Mv
.salary is mj present income and Con
gress has given me leave of absence
for the period of the campaign Mv
wife gets a large proportion of my sal
ary check for domestic purposes and
generally finds use for it.
"I have nrranged for ns,sNtants in
Washington to keep mv office goiug
while I am here. Moreover, I believe
the laborer is wnrthv of his hire, and
a laborer like mjxelf needs what he
earns. I have alreadv announced that
I do not intend to accept personal
contributions in this campaign and I
shall not borrow -nnv money.
"The salary is what we live on, and
as I would hnve been entitled to a va
cation anjhow, I will look for my
monthly check as usual."
The congressman also commented on
the announcement made by the judge
that he would stay on the bench during
ihe enmnnlfrn.
..... . ...
"If Judge Patterson enn conduct thi? i
campaign for those who hnve urged him
to make it nnd can perfoim his judicial
dutlea at the same time, he's a won
der," the congressman declared. "He
should not. however, remain upon the
bench while a candidate if it happens
that appeals from decisions of the board I
of registration commissioners should be
made to Common Pleas Court No. t,
of which he is a member."
Confident of Support
"Republicans, big and little ones, who
are on the fence because they are not
sure which vva the wind is blowing,
will be blown nwnj fiom the contrnctois
and to us," said Congressman Moore in
the part bendquaiters in the Liberty
Building today to a gioup of some thirty
men who presented themselves as volun
teers to work on the Independent cam
paign committee
It wns the congressman's first speech
in the new headquarters.
"When some of our friends," said
Congiessmnn Mooie, "who are in par
tial control of the Republican organi
zation, but who arc waiting to sec
which wav tue cat'll jump before the
declnie their allegiance to one or the
other faction, realise bow strong is
public sentiment behind us the) will get
wise nnd ask us to take them in We
will take them in, but on our own
terms
"The campaign will not be n long
cue," said Cougicssman Mooie. "It
will be short, sharp and decisive I
am convinced wo will win because we
have the public sentiment with us."
Arc "Practical Men"
"The Republican leaders are no
foob, they arc practical men, who seek
to learn which wn the wind Is blowing.
Home of these Republican leaders have
stnjcd out bemuse thej weren't irr
how the- wind is blowing. It won't take
them long to learn They won't be so
strong for contractor government a
week from now. Two weeks from now
they will be heartily disgusted with it
tnd have their minds rnatji up. They
wll( kow Uie way the wind 1b blowing.
Moore Asks Rival
to Give the Reason
"Profiteering has been going on In
Philadelphia since the city sent the
boys away to war.
"The Varc-Smith administration
that cheered the boys on their way
has been in control of affairs heie
for four yaars.
"And rents and prices have not
come down.
"I hope Judge Patterson will be
able to explain this."
From statement hy Hrprcsentattie
Moore.
It will blow them away from the con
tractors and to us.
"Even the contractors heed have no
fear of such an administration ns we
propose. They know that thej have a
right to simple equity and justice and
that they will get it from us. Thej
will have to face conditions ns they are
and law as it exists.
"By the time the next Mayor is in
ducted Into office, the new law as pro
vided by city charter will be in force.
In this new charter, the line is dis
tinctly drawn between contractor gov
ernment nnd real government. If I nm
elected it will be a real government of
the people. Contractor government will
be no more.
"No More Varc," Is Slogan
"No more Varc, but Moore!" said
the congressman with emphasis, and
coined unconsciously n pat party slogan.
"I should like to be an entirely in
dependent man, representative of the
people. An elected Mayor would be n
perfect ass to set himself up to repre
sent any class, set, order or ward. He
must represent all the people without
fear or prejudice.
"The contractors will live and thrive
under our administration but will let
live nnd let thrive. Good citizens will
be welcome to come to City Hall nnd
make suggestions to the Mayor. They'll
find tho Mayor neither self-willed nor
big-headed. He will listen to the peo
ple and obey them only. But the Mnyor
will be Mavor and will sit at the head
of the municipal table.
"Cities nearby desiring to maintain
relations with the city of Philadelphia,
will maintnin them not through the con
tractors, but through the Mayor. If
our soldier boys are to be welcomed
home thej will be welcomed by tho
Mayor and not by the contractors. If
the taptain of a visiting battleship is
to he greeted and maintained by the
city of Philadelphia hp will be greeted
by the Major and not by the contractor
combine. In a word, the Mayor will be
the first citi7en in the life of the city
officially. v
"If you're sntisfied with that kind of
a Mnyor," he said to the volunteer
committeemen, "then I bid you go to
work.
Would Set City Straight
"You hnve come forward, not to me,
but to the city to redeem the Republican
p.irt nnd to do what I hope to do
set this city straight in the ejes of that
pai tv.
1 "After this fight is won there'll bo
no moro need for a reform movement in
Philadelphia. We'll have no moic con
tractor government, but n Mavor who
owns himself."
Congressman Moore said the campaign
committee would be laiger than the
committee of one thousand "those prac
tical men down the itreet ore organ
i7ing." He announced that the Inde
pendents will take good care of the
practical tide of the campaign and will
be just as careful in its selection of
councilmen as it will be careful in all
the work that it does.
He said that the big tost in the cam
paign will be August 120, registration
dav. If the good citizens respond on
that day the fight will be ns good ns
won.
He said he would move into the head
quarters by Monday and remain there
until the fight was ended.
