FIGHTS FOR LI
FE
REGISTRATION IS "NORMAL"
Delawaro County Political Or
ganization Finds Strong
Opposition for Primary
Senator Vnro predicted today tlint
Judge Patterson vroutd be nominated
for tho maj-ornlty by n vjnnjorlty of
from G0.000 to 00,000 over ConEresq
man Moore, the Independent candidate.
It was tlio first claim made by the
organization leader In the ninjornlty
campaign
Incidentally Senator Vare claims the
Forty-sixth ward, the banner Independ
ent -ward In "West Philadelphia, will gnc
5Judgc Patterson 2500 majority.
Independent leaders claim the ward
by 4000 majority, nnd estimate Con
gressman jMoore's majority In the city
at not less than 05,000.
Thlnhs Registration Normal
Senator Vnre contends that the regis
tration this year is not nbnonnat, ns
compared with the 300,000 registered
voters who were entitled to vote at tho
spring primaiy last icar, and charges
that the "Penrose-Moorc crowd liae
been trying to boost the registration fig
ures on false claims."
He says the increased registration
this year "is just about one-half of the
returned soldier vote, or about 50,000." J
The Mooro Republican enmpaign
committee said today it was significant
that tho Vare figures indicate Judge
Tattcrson cannot hope to win bj a
substantial majority cucr Congressman
Moore.
Vare Men Claim Twenty-four Wards
Moore managers asserted that the
unprecedented public interest shown by
the heavy registration bore all the indi
cations of n Moore landslide which
would run the majority up to 75,000 or
more.
"Workers in the Vare organization
have it figured out that Judge Patterson
will carry twenty-four wards. They
give eighteen wards (o the congress
man. Si wards they (.lass as "neu
tral." These six wards, which the Vare men
regard ns close nnd not jet readj to
yield to one slue or tne oilier, nie:
Fifteenth. Twenty third, Twenty
eighth, Thirtj -first, Thirtj -eighth and
Forty-third.
JUDGE BOWS TO "DAVIDS"
Patterson Acknowledges He Runs at
Lane's Request J
Judge Patterson was introduced Inst
night at a meeting in the Twentieth
ward as "the cnudidatc- of the leaders
of the Republican parts , especially Da
vid U. Lane."
The judge acknowledged the tribute
by sajing that tho firstfnamc of two
leaders v'ho nsked him to be a candi
date was "Da Id."
Six large and perspiring audiences
were addressed by Judge Pnttcison in
n tour of the northern section of the
city. Despite the wnrm weather the
audiences were enthusiastic.
The smallest nnd least responsive au
dience of the night was encountered in
the Nineteenth ward, where Senator
Martin, one of the "two Davids" who
OBUed the judge to be a candidate, oc
cupied a scat on the platfoun.
PATTERSON NOON MEETINGS
Five Held In Frankford Today Big
Program for Tonight
The committee of one thousand held
eight noon Vare meetings toda at ns

$600,000 JAIL IS ONE ISSUE
Delaware county's old "McClure
ring" is fighting hnrd for Its politicnl
existence.
Led by repicsentntUe citizens of the
county nnd supported by !oernor
Sproul, the Republican League group
is waging n determined fight against
nlt,hiiigs labeled "McClure "
The prime issue of the primary elec
Hon, on September 10, will bo the
"old one of self-government versus ring
control," the People's Association of
Delaware county warns the voters In a
campaign chculnr just issued.
"Liquor has heretofore furnished the
means for the control of our county hr
tho McClure organization, but liquor is
finished ns n political support and Von I
tracts' arc looked to, if the citizens
allow it, to continue the same orgnniza
tion control," says Franklin N. liiewnr
picsident of the association, nnd J. W
Ziegler, sccrotnn
"The higTr cost of living nnd n whole
circle of wtnl questions hnvc their root
there. ,
The Rig Question
"Shall we citizens think nnd know
nnd shape our own local, state aiffl na
tional life or shall we lenvo it sloth -
fulh to a group to manage for Its own
interest?" they nsk in the statement.
The statement nttacks the "McClure
ring" for an nlleged plan to erect n
new county jail at a cost of $000,000.
This, it is contended, would be sheer
waste, ns the number of prisoners In
the countv jail since the ern of prohibi
tion has been to small that the neces
sity of a new jail has been done away
.with.
"We find in soliciting the votes of
the men of Delaware county at the
coming primary these two principnl
groups: The 'McClure group,' standing
for bossistn ns we have been accus
tomed to It, nnd the 'Republican League
gioup' supported by Governor Sproul
promising a new manhood and nobh r
public life and example for our tountj,"J
II1C MUU'UlUIll IL'illl.
Success at tho primnry, the state
ment points out, would virtually mean
election in November.
List of Candidates
Candidates of the "McClure gioup"
are named ns follows: Jesse D. Pier
son, Media, nnd William M. Powell,
Chester, couhty commissioners; W. I.

Liquor Dealers to Support Men Who
Will Back Them
The liquor men are "going to fight
for the Met tion of men who vote for
us," asserted James .1 Pearson, picsi
dent of tho Philadelphia Liquor Deal
ers Assotintion, Inst night following n
meeting of the exerutivo board of tlty
nssocntion
One of tho matters di-ru.od was the'
nlleged unfairness of Injertim; wnrtlmej
prohibition into tho quistinn, so ns to
defeat tho provision in the nmedmeiit
that gave one tear in wlnili to dispose
of stock on hand
The privilege of selling certificates ot
liquor ill bond granted jestertln.v by,
Attornev (irncml Palmer, thev agrerd,

Experts or Theorists
Which?
The packing industry is intricate, com
plexfar more so than the railroads or
the telegraph.
Every day multiplying needs of society
increase its problems arid multiplying
responsibilities demand more of it.
Highly trained experts, specialists of years' expe
rience, thinkers and creative men, devote their
lives, their energies, their activities, to solving the
problems' of the packing industry and meeting its
widening duties.
Swift & Company is not a few dozen packing
plants, a few hundred branch houses, a few .thousand
refrigerator cars, and a few million dollars of capital,
but an organization of such men. It is the expe
rience, intelligence, initiative and activity which oper
ates this physical equipment.
Can this intelligence, this experience, this initiative
and creative effort which handles this business at a
profit of only a fraction of a cent per pound from all
sources, be fostered through the intervention of polit
ical theorists, however pure their purposes? Or be
replaced by legislation? Does Congress really think
that it can?
