JUDGE INVADES FOE'S "DEN"
Patterson, Passing Moore Headquar
ters, Refuses Dare and Goes In
Judge Patterson "carried the war
into Rome" this afternoon when he re
fused to take a dare and invaded the
'Moore headquarters nt Broad and
Chestnut streets.
Judge Patterson was passing the en
trance of the building and nodded to
Magistrate Robert Carson, a candidate
for re-election on the Independent
ticket. Mr. Carson was standing on
the steps.

and started to pass on.

Judge Carson.

"Oh, no, not that," replied Judge
Patterson. "I've lots of friends in
side." He swung around, and entered the
Moore headquarters. Everybody there
sat motionless for a moment, as though
thunderstruck by this unexpected In
vasion. Then several jumped up and
shook Judge Patterson's hand. Con
' gressman Moore and Murdoch Kendrlck,
.his campaign manager, were not pres
ent. One of the Moore men then asked:
'When are you 'going to resign,
judge?"

history this con
test will live ns the charter election
campaign. It introduces a changed
order of things. The new city charter
unci the Council of twenty-one will be
tried out by the men chosen tomorrow ;
unless, of course, a strictly independent
mid nonpartisan ticket Is subsequently
nominated nnd elected.
The methods employed in choosing
candidates were strikingly character-
istic of each fat'on
Judge Patterson is the personal
choice of Senator Kdwin H. A'arc. In
that sense he is nn individually se
lected nnd hand-picked candidate.
Mr. Moore is the choice of and was
placed in nomination by the committee
of one hundred. It is composed of
prominent Republican business men
and practical politicians, members of
the Republican Alliance and Town
Meeting party.
Vare Dictated Ticket
Contrary to precedent. Judge Pat
terson was indorsed by the Republican
city committee. This committee is domi
nated by Senntor Vare, the machine,
leader of the city. His word is as po
tent In the organization as was ever
that of Richard Crokcr in the councils
of TammanyHall.
Judge Patterson is not only indorsed
by the machine orcauUatiou but all
the Influence of its thousands of office
holders is behind him. Senator are
is directing the ficht. Kvcrv candidate
on the regular ticket may be said to
hae tiecn dictated by Jiini. In ench
case the individul was placed on the
politics.
It. was Republican opposition to
Senator Vare's continued control of
the party to his own personnl and
financial interests, that led to the
nomination of Congressman Moore nnd
n full Independent Republican ticket.
Whatever may be asserted to the con
trary Mr. Moore put forth no efforts
to secure the place.
After he had been repeatedly solicited
and personally visited in Washington
by a subcommitttee of the one hundred,
he decWed to give the matter serious
consideration. After three days spent
in Philadelphia in which he, sounded
the sentiment of leading Republican
business men nnd Independents, he de
cided to become a candidate. He is not
a machine-made, hand-lathed, one-man
choice.
"Against Contractor Dosses"
Roth candidates for the mayoralty
are gentlemen of exceptional ability nnd
high character. This however has not
shielded them from attack.
The contest after all Is the arraign
ment of a corrupt system rather than
of its candidates. It might be embodied
in the slogan "The people against the
contractor bosses."
The principal and conspicuous charge
against Judge Patterson is that he is
the Vare candidate and the represen
tative of a system that he has been
selected to perpetuate the control of
millionaire contractors over the affairs
of the. city from which they have
reaped millions In contracts.
If he is elected Mayor, his opponents
assert in spite of his high professional
standing, he will yield to the power and
influence of Senator Vare and his or
ganization; that inevitably he will give
the city a boss-controlled ndmlnlstrn-
' tion similar to the one that Is now in
i , ,..t-. .!.,.
i T . ,, . , , . , . , .
. Judge Patterson's defeat is demanded
b? tlle Independents to end Edwin A.
I Varc's dictatorship of Philadelphia ; to
eliminate the stigma that Philadelphia
is "corrupt and contented" under the
heel of a boss.
Vare Forces on Defensive
"V aro leaders charge Congressman '
Moorevvith belug the representative of
Senator Boies Penrose; that the pur
pose behind the Penrose support of
Moore is to wrest control of the city
organization from the Vares for his
own advantage. It Is also asserti-d by
his opponents that Congressman Moore
was lukewarm n his support of war
measures in Congress, that his labor
record is defective, and that an over-

NIX ON THE ALLIGATOR!
So Say Firemen in Sending Pet to
Aquarium
Kirenieu of Engine Companj No. ."0,
at Park avenue and Cambria strict, are
unanimous today in the decision that
they do not wnnt an alligator as s: pet.
They have just got rid of one.
The story had its beginning when
Albert Moore, fifteen jears old, of
Hninesville, Fla., came to Philadelphia
to visit relatives He told the firemen
he would give them a pet.
Last Friday a big tyx reached tho
engin? house. It contained un alli
gator. The firemen had expected one
about ns long as a man's thumb. 'This
specimen wns forty-two inches long nnd
sixteen years old.
Very soon the firemen found that their
pet had a man disposition. The alli
gator's constant use of the bathtub,
to the exclusion of everybody else, anil
her unnmiable ways caused the firemen
to send her to the Philadelphia aqua
rium, where she now is.

' Washington. Sept. IS. It may be
said on the highest authority now
' available in Washington that Secretary
Lansing will not resign. -
. William C. Bullitt's revelations of
his superior' piivate conversation with
I him, in which Mr. Lansing said that
'the league-of-natinns covenant ought to
1 be defeated, will not in any way alter
j tiie relations between Mr. Lansing and
I President Wilson.
I The reason for this is that Mr. Lan-
sing did the manly thing ut Paris.
When he found himself in opposition
1 to the President he went to him and
(old him so. He told him Mibstnn-
tiallj whnt he told Mr. Bullitt: pcr-
j haps not in just the words Mr. Bullitt
I used before the Senate foreign rela-
! tions committee, for Mr. Bullitt has a
' talent for the dramatic, and no story
I loses pungency in passing through his
mind.
I Heat lull an Agreement
I Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing reached
! their understanding at Paris, and their
differences did not prevent the secretary
of state being left at Paris to nego
1 tiate the Austrian. Iliilgarian nnd Turk'
I ish treaties, a plan which was subse
I iiuentl) hanged, parti 011 account of
1 Mr. Polk's health nnd ptfrtly on ac
count of the need of reorganizing the
State Department.
The State Department here is agl-
1 tated over Mr. Bullitt's indiscretions,
I The hope of the wisest friends of the
I treaty here is that Mr. Lansing will
I totally ignore Mr. Itullitt. To deny hf
' testimony in substance would be impos-
1 slble. To issue a statement declaring
' Air. Lansing's present adhesion to the
' league covenant would be to lend "a
I certain countenance to a performance
j which most persons here regard as in
I defensible.
I Moreover. Mr;"nVsIirff.'"1lrfrrh"'the,
i Senate foreign relations committee, hat?
i already declared his support of the
1 treaty except the Shantung provision,
Mr. Lansing's Paris attitude and hts
piesdit attitude are not irreconcilable.
It is one tiling to oppose a proposi
tion in process of formation. It is bu
other to oppose it after It has reached
a certain stage of completion, when its
1 ejection would bring down many other
related tilings and cause endless con
fusion. Mr. Lansing now supports the
league as mini other men do because
its adoption is disiimtl 11 choice of
evils.
Frowns I pon Practice .
For Mr. Lansing to resign would be
for him to treat Mr. Bullitt altogether
too sciniusly and to give a certain
-tnmling and eiiciturngi'ineut to the prac
tice of a i-untiilt-iitiiil suboidinntc's not
ing down Ht.Miogrnphlcnlly the indiscre
tions of his siipeiior and piib'i-hlng them
to the world. This is a practice tbat has
1,u,nx been' frowned upon,
For the S ite fmcigii relati
oils com
mittee to encomage it was for it to
set u piecedent which would be highly
embarrassing, if followed b.v its own
subordinates or by government employes,
generall. II was just another stick
of d.winmito thai the Senate committee
tossed in the air. In the field of for,,
eign relations, the committee has done
its reckless vorst. with Ireland. Lgypt
and Japan. Sometimes the Senate's
airv indiffc.cnce to consequences will be
''"xi.V ..ffe, t of Mr. Bullitt's revelations
is (( ,m ,.stcnt. damagiug to .the
league, but it is even more damaging
to the case that tne opponents 01 tne
league have been carefully building up
mid for a very good reason. Most 01
the opposition to the league so far uireiT.
in Washington has been conservative',
Mr. Rullitl'ti opposition is radical.
Natural!, the two are not consistent.
The opponents of the league set forth
that we have been beguiled b.v the craft"
of I'lirope und are in danger, if wo enter
the league, of being further beguiled,
Mr. Bullitt's testiiuoii shows thnt a
lot of fools and towards sat around the
council tab e at Puns. 'I hesetvvo things
are inconsistent. Mr. Bu' .tt h test -
' n,on" is true enough. And theonlr

Thf opponents nf the league, moreover,
set forth, and truly, that Mr. Wilson
was the whole commission, so far as this
country was concerned, that Mr. Lap
sing was ignored, not consulted, hu
