The Mayor explained nlso that in the Third district the Vare leaders were masquerading by trjlnt to Induce the voters to vote for Charles Delauy for Congress for the short term, and for tho Varc candidate. Harry A. Itnnslej , for the long term. The ballots will be so arranged that they will permit a vote to be cat for one candidate to fill Mayor 3Iooie's un expired term In Congress and for an other to fill tho full term ns representa tive from the Third district. "I have heard such rumors." said the Mayor when asked about this situa tion. "They are in keeping with the many other trick,s of which the con tractor bosses nre capable. Voters of the Third district will not perforin their full duty unless they vote twice on the congressional ballot. They should vote for their candidate for both the short or unexpired term, made vacant because ot m election to the mayoralty, nnd for the long term which begini Mm eh 4 next. It is the long term that is to bo nf importance to the people of the Third district. To send nn incompetent or mere contractors' agent to Washington to represent this most historic and busy of all the congressional districts of the I'nited States would be a travesty cnth senatorial districts, tho contests In the Third congressional nnd in the Fifth senatorial overshadow the others In political significance.

Mr. McLean has concentrated his campaign nttneks oi Senator Martin and ou Da vid II. Lane. leader of the Twentieth i ward, which is included in the J; ittu ! Senatorial district.

Secretary Panlcls today let go a verbal broad side against the advocates of a genera) staff for the navy, declaring they sought to "Prussianize" the department and make the civilian secretary n "rubber stamp." He told the Senate committee In vestigating the navy's, conduct -of the war that "one of Bear Admiral Slms's chief objects in writing his letter of January 7 nnd bringing about this In vestigation was to curtail the power of the secretary and remove the navy, so far As possible, from civilian control." "Running like a thread through most of the evidence that has been given before the committee has been advo caev of the general staff for the co'nduct of the American navy and elimination of civilian control," said 3Ir. Panlels. "Some of the officers have frankly avowed their advocacy of Prusa'Anizing the navy." Was Told Where Power LIe About the only piece of advice which former Secretary Meyer gave Mr. Daniels when the latter succeeded him was the admonition that there were officers In the navy who wished less power for the civilian secretary and more for themselves. "Power lies here." 3Ir. Daniels testi fied Meyer told him as he pointed to the secretary's desk, "nnd It should re main here." The witness said he did not fully un derstand what his predecessor meant until a fow months later when "Admiral Fiske and other disciples of the von Tlrpltz system of naval control sought to organize the American navy on the Prussian plan." Slms's original charges against the Navy Department displayed hostility toward certain officers and a desire to damage the ranking officers who di rected naval operations during the war, the naval secretary declared, adding that "the evidence has shown a desire to discredit the secretary of the navy because he was not a "rubber stamp" secretary. Willing to Face Uio Issue The witness quoted from reports and writings of other naval secretaries to show that thev. too. struggled acalnst substitution of the general staff system. "If UongresB behoves that civilian control is a great ovil," said Mr. Daniels, "if It believes that the policy which has prevailed since the founda tion of our government should bo re versed and that the navy should be re moved from civilian control, let It fol low Slms's lead, create n general-stuff on the German model and name some von Tirpltz to rule tho navy. "Let us have no camouflage about It. Abolish the position of secretary of the navy or provide that some admiral shall fill that post with a seat in the Presi dent's cabinet. That would be the frank and open way to do it rather than to put some Sims in control of the navy, with a nominal secretary as his clerk, messenger boy and rubber stamp. "If this committee desires to raise that issue, 1 am perfectly willing to go to Congress and the country with it, and let tho Americnn people and their chosen representotlves make the de cision." s . , jU ' 'jvarehousc.

And the faintly dying echoes continue to re -..f "nili.n" Mr. McLean has certainly mussed up the equanimity and sarolr falre of your "Uncle Dave" Lane. From the sounds emanating there from, It would appear that he has also gummed the works pretty effectually tn "Dave" Martin's Nineteenth ward. Harry C. Ransley started off last winter with the situation In the Third Congressional district In his Inside pocket. It Isn't there now. There Is n frantic search being conducted for It by Mr. Ransley In the purlieus of the Liberty Bell district. Charles Delany has been making In roads on Ransley steadily and satis factorily. The heads of the Republican Alliance ate predicting Dclany's tri umph by a satisfactory majority. Should Have Widened Scope The Alliance and other friends oj good government should have widened the scope of their recent seance for the discovery of phantom, voters. As It Is, what they have already accomplished Is praiseworthy and helpful. I had the opportunity of scanning a voters' list In one of the precincts In tho Tenth ward within the last three days, and tho exhibit would have tallied favorably with a Coney, Island voting list in the palmiest days pf John Y. McKalp, when he carried elections on the names of dogs, tombstones and Jeze bels of the curb. A new scheme has been spawned in the brain of some one of Samuel M. Vauclaln's sporting managers down in Delaware county. Mr. VnUclaln head manager, the redoubtable "Jimmy Dougherty, has abandoned his expressed purpose of publishing a pamphlet on Governor Sproul. As a deadlier blow "Jimmy" nnd "Dick" Baldwin contemplate, I un derstand, the preparation of half-sheet cards and posters to be attached to tel egraph poles on prominent streets in Chicago during the national Republi can convention requesting delegates not to vote for Pennsylvania's Governor for President. Meantime Mr. Vauclalu'e spectacular and chromatic boom for the presidency of tho United States is slowly butting Its strenuous way through Delaware county. It Is under, of course, tho fosterlne care of "Jlmmv" and "Dick" and other genttemenly sports promoters who know "easy" money for "cam paign expenses" when they sec it. I am constrained to the opinion that the Vauctaln boom for the presidency of these United States will come to tho same inglorious finale as that of another distinguished Phtladelphlan. A score 'of years ago Mayor Edwin H. Fitter, with better claim but equal presumption, had his photograph distributed like tho leaves of Vallombrosa through Chicago.
