fVl'jK'.JWYItf - .EVENING PUBLIC, LEDGEEr-rPHrDABEEPmA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,, 1919 B' K s PROUL LEADS WAR ON RING IN GHESTEF Governor Sends Family and Newspapers Against McCluro Political Macliino WILL ISSUE STATEMENT Governor Sproul, In the politi cal campaign under ny in Delawnro county, is fighting the contractor bo's In politics. His fire is directed against the Mc Cluro organization, which radiates from Chester through the county and which for years has been known in stale poli tics as "the McCluro liquor ring." This organization was founded and built up by the late "William .T. Mc Cluro and has hocn inherited hv hi jjjbon, John ,7. McClure. The ounger man, Keeping step with the times, hns expanded the McClure interests, so that they include city contracting, insur ance and bonding. Governor Sproul hopes to overthrow tho McCluro dj nasty and vegime in Chester and Delaware count v in the He publican primaries next Tucsda. A complete Sproul citv and countv ticket Is in the field against a complete Mc Clure ticket. E.vper.t Sproul Statement Governor Sproul, personally, has not Jet made a public declaration of his stand in the pnninries. .1" ' ISnrton "Weeks, of Chester, field minimi of the Sproul forces, announced toduj. how ever, that the GtNornor would issue a formal statement indorsing the so called "Sproul ticket" some time be fore the primaries Meanwhile the Governor's two news papers in Chester are denouncing the McClure organization and its candi dates. Weeks is a former nssistant district attorney and law partner of William I. Shaffer, the Governor's nttorney gen eral. He has been in frequent con ference with the Governor. The lim rrnor, he nnnounted. is calling on his friends to support the Sproul ticket nnd Is working hard to tnsuro its nom ination. , Members of the Governor's family nro campaigning agninst the McClure contractor ticket. Lieutenant "Jack" Sproul, the Gocmor's son, who -went to Trance with the United States nrmj, is on the stump every day. S. 1 ucti Spionl, former sheriff, who is the (ioiernor's brother, is in command of the campaign in South Chester. T. J. Sproul, the Governor's nephew, is secretary of the llcpubllean League of Delaware County, the central organiza tion representing the Sproul leadership. The Gocrnor himself, said Weeks, does not disdain to "get on the tele- phono and talk for the defeat of the McCluro ticket." T,ilie Philadelphia Tight Tho argument used against the Mc Cluro ticket is that it has been named by a contractor boss for tho purposo of "hogging" public oflices and pub lic contracts. Mr. Weeks described the Delaware fight as a "dead-ringer of the fight in Philadelphia." "Young" McClure says the Gover nor is making n "play to get control of the county organization as a pre liminary to going to the next Itepublican national convention with the Penus.vl ania delegation instructed to -vote for him for President. lie ndded he bc liced the Ooeinor desired to lay the foundation for this plan by first of all obtaining tho unanimous indorsements of his home county- for his candidacy for President Pack of this M the ciinrge made by Gnvcrnor Sproul's friends that Mc dure and his organization aided the candidacy of Judge 1'ugene O. Honni wcll, when the latter was the Demo ciatic nominee for Governor against Mr. Sproul, the ltepublicnn nominee. In short, the inference is that the Governor is "getting back" at McClure for his alleged backing of Judge Iton ninell when lie himself was the lie publican nominee for Goernor. Has Hopes for Uquor Judge P.onniwell. it was recalled, captured the Pemocintic nomination Furniture Re-Upholstered from Joseph F. Guffcy, the Palmer candidate, and did so on a "wet" platform. Tho McClure Interests fav ored tho "wet" program. In fact, "Young" McClure said he lias hopes for liquor, despite the federal amend ment and tho dry enforcement net. Governor Sproul favored prohibition and found no renl favor in tho eyes of McClure. Mr. "Weeks frankly stated there was a "distinct split between the Sproul and McCluro men In the ctj and county." "Tho split," explained Mr. Weeks, "arose over the plan of McCluro to monopolize all public offices for the purposo primurily of controlling the three great public money-spending bodies. These bodies are the county commissioners, who spend $fi00,000 a .year: the Chester school board and the Chester council, whicn together spend $l,2;5O,O0f) a year."

For the water jacket is metal and metal is a quick conductor of heat. So part of a machine-gunner's equipment is a pair o asbestos gloves, with which he can handle the hot machine gun freely. Asbestos repels heat That's why asbestos gloves are issued to machine gunners and that's why a layer of as bestos is built between two strong walls of steel in the Q T-mii ls SJ Mill um A DISCOVERY THAT ' BENEFITS MANKIND Two discoveries have added greatly to human welfare.
