BANK, SAYS MOORE
Congressman Tolls Audience

MOORE IS INDORSED
(S "NEW DISRAELI"
y
Dr. Howard S. Anders Calls for
Mayor to Safeguard
Health of City
'Tour bank lias been looted by men
nlio have been creatures of the machine.
Will you roto to keep It In power?"
This question, asked by Congress
man Moore, Independent Republican
candidate for Mayor, addressing a mass
meeting In the home ward of Mayor
Smith the ward In which' tho looted
North l'cnn Bank is located provided
tho dramatic moment of last night's
fcpeakhiB tour.
"No," thundered tho audienco In the
North Pcnn Theatre, Twenty-ninth and
York streets. "No, wc won't."
Cheers for Moore started in all parts
of the hall.
Tho audienco was composed of men
and women many of whom had the
savings of a life's work in the wrecked
bank. Mr. Moore was unsparing in his
denunciation of thoso chiefly responsible
for tho heavy losses. The theatre was
crowded. An overflow meeting was
held on tho street which also was ad
dressed by the candidate.
Last night's tour covered six wanK
Enthusiasm prevailed at each meeting.
The night's campaign started nt Broad
street and Susquehanna avenue and
ended nt midnight at Fortieth street and
Lancaster avenue. More miles were
covered than by any candidates in the
city campaign so far.
The stops included meetings In
Masonic Hall, Main and Cotton streets,
Manayunk ; the Forty-second ward He
publican Club, Nedro avenue and Old
York road, and Columbia Hall, Second
and Norris streets.
At tho Manajunk meeting Congress
man Moore challenged his colleague,
Congressman Vnre, to n debate. Mr.
Varo had described Mr. Moore as a re
actionary. "What is one thing that
Mr. Vare has done in Congress?" asked
Mr. Moore.
In the course of his address, Con
gressman Moore said that the. Varcs
have "fattened" in a very short time on
city contracts. Mayor Smith, he said,
had made more from his bonding busi
ness his sureties for city bidders than
he had made in salary as Mayor.
Discussing the city's financial condi
tion, Mr. Moore snid :
"My information is that the city Is
approaching the danger point with re
spect to the payment of snlaries of
police and' firemen, wince Councils has
not appropriated sufficient money to
.carry these salaries after November. I
am told there is a shortage of approxi
mately 230,000 for wages, mainte
nance, etc., in connection with our
charitable institutions. Perhaps thoc
who favor contractor rule will explain
this situation. If they cannot the re
sponsibility rests upon them."
JUDGESHIP DEAL
1
PERIS
"Philadelphia Is decent but disgusted
and discontented with much of its po
litical past. Shall cleanliness bo for
ever on tho scaffold and contractocracy
forever on the throne?"
This Is the comment of Dr. Howard
S. Anders, who urges abolition of "con-
troctoeracv" and pleads for n "new
Disraeli" nt Uio helm of the cltv gov
crnnicnt. He indorses the candidacy
of Concrcssmau Moore. Said Doctor
Anders :
"Tho inference is clear and obvious:
abolish contractor government (con
tractocracy) if you want rlran streets,
inasmuch ns that kind of government
has been responsible for Philadelphia s
unenviable reputation for being about
tho dirtiest and dustiest and nt the same
time the only big city in the United
States that so uncconomically and in
efficiently failed to do that work itself.
Disraeli put it right when he said : 'The
enro of the public health is the first
duty of n statesman.' Philadelphia
needs such a statesman nt the helm.
"In nmong the golden threads of n
new councilmanic representation, new
finnucial budget and better administra
tion under n new charter generally run
the silver threads of municipal cleanli
ness and public health.
"In tho composition and expression
of Philadelphia's fuguo of freedom the
one fundamental, foremost theme is
public welfaro insistent upon public
health, with its counterpoint of con
tractocracy, whatever the development
in the variations of the former's ben
efits and the latter's evils. And through
it all thunders the 'deep diapason' of
the virile voice of J. Hampton Moore."
SOLDIERS SUPPORT MOORE
Service Men of Thirty-sixth Ward
Will Parade Tonight
The service men of tho Thirty -sixth
wnrd are' on the warpath for Congress
man Moore and have organized a big
parade with special fcuturo stunts for
tonight.
"The Vnres can't hand tho service
men any bunk about Moore's pa
triotism; ho) is good enough for us,"
said Sergeant Kdgnr Coleman, one of
the organizers of tho parade.
"Yes, and we are going to clean up
Kaiser Vnre here as easily as we cleaned
...i irnlt.. Tllll .. l.nrA " wl,ln.t c.
gennt Tom Cnssidy.
One hundred service men In uniform
from the barracks at Twenty-fifth and
Wharton streets will head the parade,
which will have 1500 other service men
iu line, five floats and two trucks with
tho crippled soldiers! of the ward, all
out as Moore boosters.
Varo Donial Fails to End Sus
picion of Trade With
' Bonniwell
WOULD OFFEND GOVERNOR
Despite denials from Senator Vare
that he has taken "no hand in the
judgeship fight" rumors persist thnt the
Varo organization entered Into n denl
whereby It would throw its support to
Tudgc Bonniwell in return for votes of
Democrats who havo registered ns Ho
publlcons. Judgo Bonniwell is a enndidnto for
the seat In Common Pleas Court No. 4
to which Governor Sproul recently ap
pointed Judge McCulIcn. Judgo Mc
Cullcn is u candidate also.
The Governor recently served notice
that he would Rtand for no Interference
on tho Judgeship fight.
Several days ago It was reported the
Vares would throw their strength to
Patrick P. Conway, a lawyer, who also
seeks tho election to Common Tleas
No. 4. Senator Vare denied the
rumor.
Governor Sproul declined to discuss
tho matter today.
One of tho deals renorted to hnvo
been entered Into by the Vnres would I
block fusion in the event that ex-Congressman
Michnel Dunohoe received the
Democratic majoralty nomination.
Another rumor has It that Simon
Grutz, head of the Board nf Revision of
Tnxes, was supporting AVlllinm C. Wil
son against Judge Henderson for the
Orphans' Court. Judge Henderson is
a Sproul nppointce.
Vnre leaders arc understood to be
split up on the judgeship question, but
would probably follow orders if orders
were given.
A fight on Governor Sproul's ap
pointees would be looked upon as a
pcrsonnl affront to the executive. It
might open n factional warfare between
the state administration and the local
organization with the dismissal of Vnre
jobholders from the state payroll as the
first uct of retaliation by the Governor.

The Men's Clothing Paradox
While the Entire Quantity in This Country
is Smaller Than for Many Years, Our Stocks
are Larger Than Ever Before in September
We may assert without boasting that Foresight and Fearlessness on the part of this
Store explain the seeming paradox in the statement that our stocks of Clothing are larger
than in any former September, despite the well-known fact that the amount in the country
as a whole is less than at any time since the European war started. ,
Our slogan for the autumn and winter season will be, WE HAVE THE GOODSSj
We anticipated the condition now existing, just as we have done for the past three years
invested very large sums montns in aavaiice 01 actual neeus, aim in every instance
SAVED MONEY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.
The New Autumn Models in Men's and Young Men's Suits
and Top Coats from the Stein-Bloch Company, Hart, Schaffner
& Marx, the "Alco" and Other High-class Lines are Now Ready.
This season's regular prices for Suits are from $27.50 to $75.00, and it is safe to
say OUR PRICES ARE A SHADE LOWER than the same grades will cost at stores which
lacked the foresight and prestige to place orders earlier than usual and insist upon early
deliveries. As for the following EXTRA-SPECIAL LOTS, we believe there are no such
values obtainable anywhere else:
Men's and Young Men's
Suits at $38.50
Two Pairs Trousers
SPECIAL Flannel Suits, in
blue, green, brown and dark gray,
single- and double-breasted.
Men's and Young Men's
Suits at $25.00
Blue Serge Special
This price is less than present
wholesale value; but we Dought
them months ago.

Youthful and conservative mod-f
els; gray cheviot and tweed ef-f

About 600 Men's and Young Men's Spring Suits to Be Closed Out
at $16.50, $21.75, $24.50, $26.50 and $34.5(
iext ;
These prices aie much less than the wholesale quotations for similar grades for next spring. Most of
them just right for present wear; some sufficiently heavy for all the year around.
