TWO NEW PARIS
DEATHS OF A DAY
TO JOIN CITY RACE
MacLaughlln's Manager and
' Service Men's Loader Will
Pre-empt Names
LANE SCOFFS' AY. DIRECTOR
Talk of new parties for the Novem
ber election Is a conspicuous feature
ot the political situation pending the
outcome of trio official count of the
primary vote.
iTre-emptlon papers for the new party
to, be Headed by Director of-Suppllca
Maclughlln as the candidate' for
Mayor, are expected to be filed with
the secretary, of the commonwenlth to-
driy. The MacLaughliu campaign com
mittee may be announced nt the same
time, according to J. Frederick Henkin
Bonrtampaign, manager for the director,
paptain Horrer H. Hacker, who was
chairman of the Patterson service men's
committee, .also, announced that the
service men's ticket for "the November
.election would be named today. The,
"soldier candidate" for Mayor, said
Mr, Hacker,, would run under a 'new
party title.
"Then there Is a suggestion that the
Mtjore and Fattcrson campaign mana
gers, for the purpose of protecting their
Interests In the event of a long delay
In arriving at the official count,, will
also file papers for new parties.
Fight for Magistrates
Politicians believe that some of the
plans for new parlies are base1 on the
desire to win the three minority magis
trates who arc to be elected in the
N.ovcmber election. Seven are to be
chosen, four by the majority and three
by the minority party. As the situation
stands now. the Democratic candidates,
even though they polled a negligible
vote, would get the three minority
places.
Politicians said the opportunity to
get these places by having a new party
which cpuld poll more votes than the
Democratic party is too good ' to be
overlooked.
October 7 Is the last day for .filing
pre-emption papers for new parties
and of making new and independent
nominations. It is because of this nnd
the fact that the result of 'the primary
election between the Vare,-Patterson
and Moore forces may not be known
o"mcially until after October 7, that
plans are being considered to protect
"the rival ticket' by means of new party
pre-emptions.,
Takes Director Lightly
.When the' official count finally pro
claims Congressman Moore as the Re
publican nominee for Mayor the Vare
and Moore new party tickets could be
withdrawn. Senator Vare has an
nounced that he will abide by the result
of the official count. And David H.
Lane said yesterday at the shore that
tte Vare faction would "elect Moore
with a whoop."
.As for Director MacLauglilln, the
sage'.of the organization said : j .
JlV'That man MacLatighlin is "not to be
regarded seriously. AVliy Director Mae
L'aughlin should think the people of
Philadelphia want him to give, up the
!?10,000 job the Vares gave him and
run the city for them is" beyond my
comprehension."

tm
The thousand men who buy these Winter
Overcoats at $28.50 will get extraordinary
value. This price, $28.50, is approximately
the present wholesale price.
One thousand men are thus given the op
portunity to save money, solely because we
ordered them months ago, at much less than
present cost, and insisted upon early delivery.
Surely this price is a powerful incentive to
early buying. When this collection of one
thousand Overcoats has been sold, we shall not
be able to offer more of the same grades at so'
low a price.
Don't fail to see them to-morrow. The
thousand may last several days, but the sooner
you get here, the easier it will be to make a
selection.
