Selection of Candldato for
Mayor's Soat Is Expected to
1 Bo Announced Thb Week
MECLEARY DESERTS MARTIN
There is n possibility tlint the man
Mayor Moore will support to succeed
lilm In Congress will bo known this
wel.
A conference scheduled to take place
today among thoso interested will pave
the way toward reaching n decision in
the matter, it is believed.
John P. Connelly, former city solici
tor, is still evasive in dlscuwlng the re
port that he may come out for Con
grew. "I wish to say that T will support
the man approved by Mayor Moure,"
ha nld today. "In fairness to him, 1
thfnk a man should be sent to Washing
ton who is in harmonr with the policies
of the former congressman from the
Third Congressional district, and one
capable or carrying out his piani.
'Suppose Mayor Moore would urge
you to enter the field for the Repub
lican nomination for this post, would
you beeomo a candidate?" Mr. Connelly
was asked.
Supporting Mayor
"It would hardly be fair for me to
sit at a conference table und boost my
own opportunltieH," said Mr. Connelly.
"I am supporting Mayor Moore from
the broadest viewpoint, with the Idea of
helping his administration In ovcry way
possible. There is no thought of per
sonal advancement In my mind what
ever." Mr. Connelly and City Solicitor Smyth
had an Informal conference today.
Magistrate John Mcclcary, Varc lead
er of the Thirty-first ward, announced
this morning that he would unreservedly
snpport. politically and otherwise,
Mayor Moore's administration.
Was Martin Follower
The special significance of the Me
cleary announcement iff that the mag
istrate has for years been aligned with
the followers of Senator David Martin.
Mecleary'a renunciation of the ViinH '
also a renunciation of his political nl
lcglanee to Senator Martin. This lat
ter fact Is regarded as indicating it is
only a matter of time when Senator
Martin himself will turn In with the
Moore leaders.
"I wp do ill In my power, politi
cally and otherwise, to support the
Moore administration," said Mecleary,
who Is one of the two committing mag
istrates at City Hall. "The report
that I will join the Moore forces Is
correct. I will help the fight on tho
Vares in every way possible. I have
been associated with Senator Martin
for years, but now I will work with
the Mayor."
It was also reported that Milton
TJeedmoyer, who was the Vare-Smlth
leader of the Twenty-eighth ward, for
mer Mayor Sraith'B home ward, was an
other to join with the Moore leaders.
'T hnve nothing to say at present."
said Iteedmoyer this morning. A public
announcement that Iteedmoyer has
joined the Moore forces, however, will
not surprise politicians.

Dr. Crammer Says Reformers
Would Do Well to Follow First
President's Example
OTHER LENTEN ADDRESSES
The old temptation to "fight the
devil with fire" Is confronting Phila
delphia's Mayor and political reformers
today, according to Dr. Carl n. Gram
mer, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal
Church, who delivered the lentcn ad
dress at that church today.
"Our politicians." he said "would
do well to follow the supreme example
of George Washington. Ho was a
statesman who roc above the arts of
tho politician in n state 'where men
are tempted still to evil for a guard
against worse ill.' His tuprerae cour
age in this regard mado him the model
for reformers and politicians, who arc
prone to utilize nil the vices to fight
existing vices. Washinirton was ter-
fectly willing to rise or fall, but hc-
woum never stoop in the name of
patriotism to petty wrongs or to feed
upon the passions and weaknesses of
others."
Scores Passive Citizens
Doctor Grammer tcored the citizens
who "sit back and take life comfort
able" without challenging evil.
"The majority of the men who don't
vote at elections in Philadelphia are
church members," he declared. "I
have examined the records and know

SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON
FINDS TRUTH MISSING
With Ex-Soldier He Wanders About City and Discovers Many
Changes Historians May Have Exaggerated, He Says
To the Editor o' the Vvcnino rubllc Ltdaer
Sir I had been rending anew of
Washington's undisputed reputation for
prayer and truthfulness. I had sent
away many cards symbolic of tho day.
Naturally my thoughts ran rampant
on the great and good father of our
country.
Uchold ! He stood before me. I rev
erenced him.
"Just came down from Vnllcv
Forge," said Washington's shadow to
me. "
"I suppose it has a sort of sentimen
tal attachment for you," I respectfully
responded.
"A wee bit," he answered.
"Is it true you never told a lie?
(begging your pardon, sir," I nked, to
continue the conversation.
"They may have exaggerated a lit
tle," he returned, "but if you will
pardon my egotism, they did say I
never deceived a person."
Remembered Old Roads
"I admire you," I replied.
"Aren't there any truthful persons
today, that you must needs ask me
for surh information?" the great father
queried.
"Come, my boy, let's take a stroll.
I think I remember some of Philadel
phia's old roadH yet. We will look for
truthful persons. I think I know where
they can be found," Washington re
joined. "My, you've grown," he said. "Gcr
mantown road all built up, forsooth.
It was a forest in my day. And look
at the people. How strangely they arc
garbed!"
I smiled at his excitement.

Washington had a twinkle in his eye.
He knew the tea was worth eight cents
a cup.
"They do prevaricate a bit, boy,
don't they?" he queried.
Just then two "jazz babies" camo
in. and after taking several cakes and
selecting a few pieces of candy, pow
dered their noses in front of a mirror
with fifty-odd people looking on.
"Ha. ha." chuckled my dlstlngui'hcd
guest, "In my day we powdered our
hair these chits or girls do bo pow
dering their noses. Why?"
I could not explain. I never did know
why truly.
A Change in Powder
Then tho girl went to an open phone.
Washington looked interested.
"Tell him we won't be homo; we're
going to tho show," the one girl said
to her friend.
"All right. Hazel, it'll get rid of
him and he'll think we have swell
friends," rejoined her companion.
"Let's leave," said my guest, "as
suredly times have changed.'
A doughboy went past, with an arm
off.
"Poor lad," said Washington pity
ingly, "lost in a big war no doubt."
I explained about the world war.
"In my time we gave them land
grants," responded my guest, "but no
money of any account, and as a con
sequence they could not till the soil
allotted to them."
"Wo thought of allotting land, too."
I answered. "I wish they could be
given $50 per month for each month's
overseas service," I added.
"That would enable the sick and in

said the father of our country to me.

Moore Raises Flag
for Great Heroes
Cbnllnnrd from Tuice One
stantly quiet when the Mayor began
to sneak, readlnz his brief address from
j tt typewritten manuscript.
hen lie had finished, and in a
louder voice, he explained to tho child
ren that it was difficult to make them
a speech under existing conditions, so
he had written it out intending it for
publication in the newspapers.
"I want to thank you children, boys
ana gins," no added, "ana your tencn
ers, for coming hero today,
"I trust the day will come when na
tional holidays will be appreciated to
tne tun ; when we win nave gotten
away from war and all that follows it,
and when our nconlc will assemble on
such days ns this to study the history of
our forefathers.
"Boys, and you, too, girls, I wont
you to stand for one thing I want you
to stand for the constitution of your
country nnd the glory of its flag."
Children Save Flag from Mud
The children made way for the Mayor
ns he strode down to raise the flag,
Colonel Gllmorc standing by his side.
"Take hold of It, children, hold it
up," said Colonel Gllmorc as the big
flag was unfolded, aud was in danger
of dragging on the muddy sidewalk.
The children, boys nnd girls, crowded
close, and, seizing the folds of the flag,
spread it out over their heads. It was
an impressive iucldcnt which hnd not
been foreseen in tho program. Small
arms upraised held the flag high until
the Mayor's pull on the halyards raised
first Its peak from the children's up
lifted hands, and then the broad thir-tccn-starred
emblem Itself, the children
cheering as it took the breeze.
in solemn quiet they wutched it rise
up to the roof of the hall, up past the
belfry, where the bell clanged as the
flag rose in air, and on up to the pin
nacle of the high pole.
With bare heads the children sang
"The Star-Spangled Banner." the
fringe of grown-ups at the edge of the
chowd joining with deeper voices In
the high-pitched chorus.
Children Cheer Flag
"Three cheers for your flng," called
Colonel Gllmorc. The children an
swered lustily.
"Three cheers for Mayor Moore," he
added, and they cheered again.
The Mayor stood smiling until the
eheeiiog died, then pressed through the
crowd of children to his limousine
waiting by the curb.
The children did not want to let him
go. They crowded round him, trying
to get close enough to shake his hand.
He was us eager us thej . nnd he held
