he was making with Eyre, for political
support? It seems to mo that the inner
dtnils of this coal storj, known only
by Vnre and Eyre, would be of con
siderable interest to the taxpayers and

"The senntor's statement thnt he vis

and is not consistent with the facts,"
Mr. Macl.anghlln continued. "lie not

Concerning politicnl conditions iu tho

"My experience In the last four years

Senator Vare said that his relations

pleasant.
"There wag ne?er a harsh word be

"Mr Moore's nnswer as published

Neither Judge l'ntterson nor Mr. Robins
seems et to renli2e the issue in this
campaign. Not one worI was said by
either with regnrd to the evil of po
litical contracts where the contractor
selects the city's ngents to see or not
to see that the contrnct.s nro enforced.
I'rom n grnteful major to a dependent
street clenner the influence nnd effect
are the same. The street cleaner de
pends for his iing on obeying the
orders of his contractor employer. The
major is hnmnn nnd cannot escape n
f-e'ing of giatitudc toward his bene
factor. ne would have more admiration f
for. and confidence in, the plntform aud
declarations of Judge Patterson if he
applied the principles of political lib
crtj nnd freedom throughout tho worlrf
to the concrete and definite condition
thnt now exists in Philadelphia. How
cnu the Judge talk of natriotism tnd
libprty if he docs not realize tiiat lib
erty in voting In municipal election 1
is just ns Important ns voting in state
or national elections?
Stigma Is Felt by All
If the city of Philadelphia has hem
criticized throughout the nation on ac
count of the local Republican control
It injures the party throughout the na
tion. If a draft board is discharged
for irregular nnd improper methods
brought about by contractor-controiied
polltienl conditions, it is an injury
' to the city nnd to its reputation for
patriotism. If members of the police
iiforce are convicted and sent to jail for
political activity, the stigma is felt by
11 the citizens.
i "The Judge could have been more
happy in his reference to Arlstidcb, but
, apparently the only thought expressed
bj Aristidcs which mude any permanent
effect on the Judge's mind wns that he
referred to street-sweepers.
"Wo nro nnxiouslyf awaiting Mr.
Robins' declaration on city contracts.
Mr. Robins, with his conspicuous war
record, should bo officially familiar with
niilitnry conditions to make a state
ment without quotations, but Mr.
Hobins's ignorance of city contracts nnd
the ways of city contractors should
stimulate him to further study of the
subject. lie knows something now
about how to secure the names of citi
zens for n political committee. He
knows that he had to secure the assist
ance of Vnre officeholders in obtaluing
this committee.
"Does he know thnt Vore-dominnted
inspectors nre supposed to sec that Vnre
contracts are or are not enforced? If
Mr. Itobins wants further Information
on this subject we suggest that he seek
it from Mayor Smith, who was selected
and Is grateful to Senntor Vare. and
who also happens to be n friend of
Vure's candidate. Judge Patterson."
Ernest T. Trlgg, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, in a letter to
Congressman Moore, indorsing his can
didacy for Mayor, received at Moore
headquarters today, expressed pleasure
nt Mr. Moore's program for the "city
industrial,"
Congratulates Mooro on Role
Mr. Trigg's letter follows :
"As a citizen, nnd not in my ca
pacity as president of tho Philadelphia
. uamver v woiiiiiivrce, i uegire to con
gratulate you on having entered th-
neld ns a candidate for the majoralty
nomination on the regular Republican
ticket. I appreciate, as I am sure all
the thoughtful voters in Philadelphia
must do, that this represents a sacrifice
prompted only by your sense of dntr
nnd your interest In the fair name of
Philadelphia.
"I was especially pleased with your
statement with regard to "the city in

inerclal development of this wonderful
city should be given first consideration
by our municipal officers if we are to
make the progress which is entirely
possible and for which we are so well
equipped and situated.

portant In many ways in the life of

70' WARNS AGAINST
STRONG-ARM TACTICS
iiCommittoe Asks That Irregular
ities at Registration Polls To
day Be Reported to Them
The committee of seventy Issued this
''warning" against strong-arm tactics
at registration places today:
"The committee has been notified that
orders have been issued to registrars un
der (the control of the contractor com
bine to interfere ns much as possible
with the registration of citizens known
to beVindependent voters.
"Tint interference is expected to take
the foem of refusing to register voters
whose names do not appear on the
printed Assessors' books.
Another hindrance will be put In
the way of Independents in some di
visions by ,the removal of the assessors'
books, which by law arc required to be
hung In tho polling places.
Citizens arc asked to notify the com
mittee of seventy immediately by tele-
phono (Hell, Locust 3570-71. and Key
stone, Race 1111) in order that they
may be given the proper advice how to
proceed to be registered. The commit
tal of seventy also welcomes Informa
tion regarding nny other Irregularities
on the part of registrars or the netlvlty
of policemen or firemen or other office
holders." MOORE IS CHEERED

Congressman Moore received nn ova
tion from his neighbors in the Fifth

out pestholes" and generally Improve
living conditions in the dictnct.
The congressman registered at tho
polling place at Third nnd Cypress

I of the division ; Joseph Ward and Louis
Hnphiel, among others, welcomed the

unofficial reception committee.
After Mr. Moore hnd checked up as
being fifty-five years old, having lived
in the city thirty-seven years, hnving
lived iu the Ninth division, Fifth ward,
for upwards of thirteen jcars, he turned
to McCormiek and said :
"How are things going in the ward,
John?"
"Fine, congicssman, fine. The Fifth
ward Is going to do Itself proud."
"What pleases me most about these
river wards," said Mr. Moore, "Is that
while they were once the abiding places
of prominent cltUens, many of whom
have moved nwny, there still remain in
the churches, schools and In politics
men nnd women who are" willing to fight
for the old landmarks, and who do not
wish to be overridden by thuggery at
tne pons.
"A Mayor who understands these con
ditions will have a fine chance to do
things down here thnt ought to have
been done years ago. if I get a chance,
some of the pestholes that have con
tributed to bad living conditions will 1
cleaned up nnd playgrounds for the
children and houses of comfort and rec
reation will be provided for the adults."

ROBINS SAYS HOORE
1TE
Chairman of '1000 Assails Con
gressman's Labor Record
and Patriotism
AGAIN BRINGS UP FEE CASE
The patriotism of Congressman
Moore's family Is not an Issue In the
mayoralty campaign, according to
Thomas Robins, chairman of the com
mittee of one thousand.
It is the pntrlotlsm of Congressman
Moore, who Is a candldntc for offlne,
that Is questioned, snjs Mr, llobtns.
Mr. Tloblns, In replying to Congress
man Moore's statemont defending his
patriotism, brnnds the congressman ns
the "Penrose candidate," takes a shot
at his labor record nnd assails him for
breaking the pledgrs of the Itepubltcan
city convention In 1004 by attempting
to retain the fees of the city treaourcr's
office.
The chairman of the committee of
1000 announced that he would make
no reply to the eight questions of Mur
doch Kendrick, manager of the Moore
campaign.
Hobins's Reply
The reply of Mr. Itobins to Congress
man Moore follows:
"The Patterson campaign committee
was formed after Judge l'ntterson de-
dared his candidacy and is not a
slate making committee. Congressman
flloore, Penrose candidate for Mayor, of
fers as convincing proof of his pa
triotism the fnct that one of his four
sons went to Franco with the American
nrmy. I have the utmost honor and
respect for every soldier who served
his country during tho late war, whether
hn liecame n soldier by volunteer action
or by the draft, but Mr. Moore's son is
not the candidate for Mayor and his
patriotism is not in question.
"In my speech yesterday I quoted
literally from the Congressional Ilecord
giving the notations and exact words
used by Mr. Moore during his campaign
to prevent America from taking her
part in saving the liberty of the world.
Mr. Moore does not refute the quotation.
"Tho record shows that Mr. Moore
lost no occasion to throw cold water
upon the patriotism of the country and
do everything within his power to head
off the inevitable. Moreover, his ac
tivities reached their climax at the timo
when diplomatic relations with (lor
many had been severed, when this
country was on the very eve of war,
and when the German spy system and
pro-German propaganda were working
at their maximum efficiency.
As to Roosevelt
"Mr. Moore tries to make it appear
that he was a confidant of the late
Theodore Roosevelt, and enjoyed both
his esteem and approbation, and, by in
direction, that he would havo received
Colonel Roosevelt's support in this con
test. Colonel Roosevelt was an Amer
ican to the core of his heart, and that
need bo the only answer to this 'impli
cation on the part of Mr. Moore.
"This is, however, precisely in line
with the sort of camouflage he is em
plojlng in defending his anti-lsbor po
sition when he speaks of, 'his friend,'
Samuel Gompers. As a matter of fact.
John A. Phillips, one of the best known
labor leaders in the stnte, has In his
possession a letter written to him by
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, giving Mr.
Moore's anti-labor record and espe
cially emphasizing the fact that Sir.
Moore voted against the Clayton anti
trust bill, which measure gave labor a
bill of rights.
"Mr. Moore's record in Congress was
rertainly not that of n patriot. Ills
claims to patriotism nre based solely
upon his own assertions. In this cam
paign thus far Mr. Moore has been full
of assertions. In fact, he has estab
lished a new long-distance record for
talking. He declares he Is a patriot.
He declnres he Isn't a Penrose man; he
declares he is n friend of labor, und
he makes assertions without end as to
what he will do if elected Mayor.
"I wonder if he recalls n statement
he mnde In 1004 a pledge, in fact
when he was Republican nominee for
city treasurer. He had been secretary
for the Mayor under the notorious Ash
brldge administration, and Ashbrldgo
wns his chief supporter for the nomi
nation. In that campaign one of the
greatest Issues wns the question of fees.
The Republican party in the convention
which nominated Mr. Moore pledged
Itself nnd Its candidate in positive reso
lutions that all fees in excess of the
salary and expenses of the office should
be returned to the city. Mr. Sloore, as
candidate, pledged himself to stand upon
the resolutions adopted by the conven
tion. It took n suit in court before the
city got the frea."

Apology Club"
Is Formed
Continued Tron !' One
apostle of "regularity," Is also linked
up with the other "explainers." When
he had sufficiently recovered his voice
after th shock of hearing that a
Democrat, Daniel Wade, had been
slammed Into the Shrievalty selection
chair and held there by main strength,
thp Sage of tho Standpatters explained
to the EvEwiito Pnnr.10 Lroam, "I do
not know him."
Tho Apology Club
There arc n few of the regular Or-I
ganlzntinn leaders who have not thus
far joined the Apology Club. There Is
that gray old flghtrr, Senntor "Davo"
Martin, who hns declined to explain
his sensations when he wns Informed
that o Michael J. Ryan Democrnt had
been put on the Organization ticket nt
the very moment when the senntor was
descanting on the beauties and rewards
of party regularity.
it Is nlso worth while noting that
your cousin Harry A. Msrkcy is not
making elaborate explanations ns to
way that Progressive proselyte to tne
Vare system. Thomas Robins, saddled
him with a committee of forty-six
women, most of whom rre selected
within an nrcn of three blocks.
A block and tackle could not drng
a word of explanation from the Henu
Nash of the regular organization.
vGcorge F. Holmes, in explanation of
how he got the lasso tangled up around
the torso of Thomas Robins nnd dragged
him with one hand Into the Vnre cor
ral. There are others, but they nre silent,
no douDf, In fear of being regarded ns
charter members of the Apology Club.
It Is well that Governor Sproul
served notice on the warring factions
In the municipal fignt, that It is "hands
off" on his judiciary appointments.
The notice was intended for the Vare
organization. The Independents have
never contemplated attacking the
quartet of jurists who will come before
the people this year.
There is every reason to believe on
excellent authority, too, that the Vare
leaders contemplated nn unholy alliance
with the Ilonnlwell Democratic com
bination. Indeed, if proper arrange
ments could have been made the entire
Vare organization strength wns to hnve
been thrown to Judge Eugene C. Ron
nlwell In hope of defeating Judge Mc
Cullen. There were financial considerations
involved, of course, that had to do with
the Ilonnlwell following which made It
a question whether or uot the game was
worth the candle.
The Governor's Action
The flat-footed and direct statement
from Governor Sproul that he would
not tolerate any double dealing or nt
tacks nn his personal appointees put
an end to whatever maneuvering wns
in progress.
So that it may precede the actual
count of this first registration day it is
ptoper to say that there are several
of the very prominent nnti-Vare
leaders who do not expect a gTcnt rush
to get on the registration books today.
Thtre are several reasons for the
view. One is that a large number of
Independents arc still absent on their
summer vacations. Some of them are
at so great a distance that it would be
folly to go to the expense of coming
to Philadelphia on this particular date
whfn there nro two moro registration
das.
Another viewpoint is that today's
registrants largely represent those per
sons who regard it as a duty to register
on the first day. The size of the
registration will be an indication of
the nmount of work that must be done
by the Independents on the other two
registration days in getting the In
different and doubtful to register.
There is also the fnct that the Vare
people in certain districts have in
structed their satellites to refrain from
registering, thus reducing the number
of names in the hope of disheartening
their opponents by a small list.

STRANG MAKES MOVE
P
Attorney Takes Out Writ of Ha-
boas Corpus To Contend
Bail Is Excessive
HEARING TO BE ON FRIDAY
Attorney Edward W. Wells today
took out a writ of habeas corpus In Quar
ter Sessions Court In an effort to obtain
the relenso from prison of Elwood II.
Strang, former paying teller of the
North Pcnn Bank.
Strang was committed to Movamcn-
slng Prison after his arrest a few days
ngo, in New York, In default of $35,000
ball. It is contended this amount of
ball Is "excessive and unjustifiable" In
the case of Strang when coihnared with
tho lesser nmount of ball required of
Cashier Moyer and other defendants
nrrested for tho looting of tho North
Fenn Rank.
A hearing on the habeas corpus writ
wns fixed for Friday at 10 o'clock, in
Room 20(1, City Hall. Judge McCulIcn
will hear the case.
It was stated today that tho Inter
mediaries between Strang in his nego
tiations with District Attorney Rotan,
before the arrest of the paying teller,
were William Morgan iMontgomery, at
torney for Moyer, and Moyer himself,
who is being held under $23,000 ball.

authorities. This will act as a bar to
Strang getting a bondsman.
Four distinct violations of law ate
alleged In the second warrant which
has just been issued against the former
paying teller. He is charged with
falsification of records, cmbtzslement of
papers, as an employe of the bank;
larceny of canceled checks aggregating
the sunt of $303,000, and with con-'
spiring to cheat and defraud by failure
to enter paid checks in the books of
the bank.
The paying teller Is regarded as a
most important witness In several of
the prosecutions that already have been
started and in the preparation ot others
under contemplation as a result of the
bank crash. The exact amount of his
own defalcations is still a matter of
speculation,
