I & "jc E L Tolls Audience There .Is Np Doubt About Election Results and Renows Pledges SPEAKS ON HOUSEKEEPING "The end of contractor rule Is In eight," Congressman Moore told tbo city committee of the Town Meeting party at a meeting last night in his campaign headquarters in the -Liberty Building. Following his address to the Inde pendent workers, In which he expressed confidence In the result on September 16, the congressman addressed-an en thuslastlc meeting In the Thirty-fourth ward, at the Independent Republican Club, SOI North Sixty-fourth street. Every pledge made by the candidate was cheered at the West Philadelphia meeting. After congratulating the Independent workers on the big registration, Con gressman Moore, at the meeting In the Liberty Building, said: "No doubt of the result remains in my mind. We are going to win. Wo know this and the other side is begin ning to realize it. This is the cause of the confusion that exists in the camp of those who arrogate to themselves the light to rule the city. "The end of the contractor combine Is In sight. Wo are going to elect tho men of our ticket. When wo are in office, I am going to see that the men in tho divisions are given their rights. It will lie iu tho power of no con tractor to say who shall be barred from the councils of the Republican party." The chief subject of Mr. Moore'a speech in West Philadelphia was hous ing. He pledged that if he is elected he will seo to it that the sanitation conditions In the city arc improved. Mr. Moor quoted from statistics dated 1012, tbo latest that he said he could obtain, but that conditions now were even worse. "If we could save for the city gome of the profits that have been go ing into contracts during the last four years," continued Mr. Moore, "we might be able to rcltoe tho tenement house situation, which is now a crying shame in Philadelphia." He gave statistics showing that in 2864 hour.es, containing 13.0S4 rooms, families consisting of 43.74S persons lived, an average of four and one-half families per bouse and three and one fifth persons per family in houses orig inally constructed for one family. This was before the war, he (.aid, and it is much worse now. "The houses in which these families are obliged to live, herded almost like cattle, originally were constructed for the use of one family. All of them are poorly adapted to the use of three or four families. This menace to health and happiness extends all over tbo city. 'ilt is these quarters of the poor, in these alleys and back streets where dis ease gets its start, where immorality obtains a foothold and where crime is encouraged. MOORE-SEES OF VARE CONTRO I "It is as important to the man who lives in tho palace that the city should be kept clean and sanitary as it is to I the poor man who is obliged to live ' in a back street. I intend, as Mayor, to take up with councils this important question of sanitation and housing at , the earliest possible stage of my admin istration, and expect to call into counsel some of the city's leading men and women who have evinced a public spirited Interest in this important civic problem. ff A romance of the Old South Like pages from an old lavender-scented diary is this romance of Helen Carringtoh in what was formerly the garden spot of the Old Dominion Marion Harland is the only living writer whose experience dates back to the plantation life of the Old South of a quarter century before the Civil War and it is of this she writes in THE CARRINGTONS OF HIGH HILL By MARION HARLAND PTV AT)T T"0 ,"TnTT5"H.TT?T,iC V1VYl BSft VrirAIJJCii5 i3-'I.l.Dl'N.EIVO OlID l3SW PTPTH AVF.

PARKER SPRINGS NEW CITY-GOVERNING PLAN Mayoralty Candidate , Would Turn Over Salary and Powers to Managing Engineer John Clinton Parker, who has an nounced himself ns a candidate for Mayor, has a unique plan for governing Philadelphia. lie purposes, "If elected," to turn the salary and real powers of the office over to an engineer wnora ho would name ns director of public works, but who would really be the city manager. Brigadier General W. W. Attcrbury, vice president of the Pennsylvania Rail road, is tho man be has in mind as the real executive of tho city, the "de facto Mayor." Mr. Fnrkcr himself would bo Mayor in name only, but would act as the city's "political head" and ruler of the Republican organization. The Parker plan und candidacy is unfolded iu u scries of letters ho bent to Governor Sproul, General Atterbury, who was transportation chief for the American forces overseas; David H. Lane, organization leader of the Twen tieth ward, and Ernest h. Tufctln, former stato senator. Fivo letters to Governor Sproul wero used by Mr. Parker to 6utllne his plan against "grafters," Three of the let ters are dated August 01, and tho two others bear the date of September 1. In three letters to General Atterbury, two dated September 1, Mr. Paiker ex plains ho told former Governor Stuart that the general would bo un excep tionally able man as city executive. "Mr. Stuart agreed, but pointed out that you lived outside the city. This led me to the thought of getting soim one to bo a candidate who would ogre to appoint you ns director of publii works and give you full authority to run the city as ou see fit. "As I could get no one else to run, I presented the Idea to 128 Independent Republicans, and they signed a peti tion to have my name on tho ballot in the Republican primary." Mr. Parker has another plan If the man he names ns real head of the city fails to give satisfaction to the people. Democrats Support Republican Mayor Edgar S. Waters, of National Park, will go before the voters for re election at the general election in No vember, lie is seeking the nomination for ru-clcctiou on the Republican ticket, and the Democrats think so well of . him that they hied nomination papers for him on their ticket. He has no opposition for the nomination on the Democratic ticket, but Councilman H. H. Ulrich is opposing him on the Re publican ticket. $1.60 W V rffc tffcl V V 4bJL4 rtnvincr fin, n wpfk.
