IB. Senator Penrose, regarding the election of Scn ntor Harding as n certainty, and lopkr Ing forward to the rich treasure of fed fral patronage which ho will command in Philadelphia and tho stato nt Inrgc, I, preparing to play tho biggest state end city politics of his long career. His plans are based on the belief that ' he will be re-elected to n six-year term in the Senate and on his hopes of til- tlinntc recovery of health nnd strength. The prizes he will piny for will be the winning of the county offices In Phila delphia next' year, the gubernatorial latnpaigu the succeeding year, nnd cou trol of the 1021 State Legislature. I All this was clearly indicated in n full and franlc Interview with Senator Penrose today on the sldo porch of tlie ghclburnc Hotel. And-to this end he founded a call for harmony in city and state and epitomized his plans in these words : "My door is open and all raayjntcr; the high nnd the lowly." To Take More IVrcct Part Hero Senator Penrose proposes to tnkc a more direct part In Philadelphia poli tic. Ho will try to straighten out (lie tangles and tho intra-factlonnllsm , which has been n source of political embarrassment, to tho Mnypr. He will endeavor to prevent tho dissatisfied Re publican Alliance leaders from straying off the reservation,, -just because the lnor will not dounll 'they want, nnd will try nlso. to bring new elements of ptrcngth to hand. The latter phase of his campaign was started when ho cnlled on David II. Lane, sage of tho organization, Mr. I.anc hns always been the man of the hour when anything harmonious was to be arranged. Mr. T.nno nnd Senator Penrose have been bitterly opposed to each other in recent jears. Mr. Lnno was wrathy at the senator, for iiistnnco, when, four j-ears ago the nestor was defeated us a andldatc for national delegate. The "hatchet lias been burled," however. Itotli said so. And Mr. Lane has told friends since that he believes there will he n "getting together next year." Senator Penrose's harmony campaign, li ns explained, Is without prejudice to Mayor Moore. Tho senator suid he would help tho Mayor nil he could. In this connection the senntor and the Mayor have had one conference. An other 1ms been arranged for next Sun 'ln.v, if the Mayor can get down here. Interested In Legislature Senntor Penrose furthermore Is intcr--ti il in the legislative, program of the forthcoming session of the state Legis lature. Up announced that ho was op pnsi'il to a new constitution or tho hold ing of a constitutional convention. Tho tenator would scrap tho work of the institutional revision commission uleh was uppplntcd by the Governor neept in bo far as timely amendments are suggested. And, emphasizing the harmony situ ation, Senator Penrose announced that he did not regard civil service for county offices "as a paramount or vital issue t this time." Recently M)iyor Moore pointed out tho uiiuculty presented by tho tieing up of the city administration with civil service while tho county offices, under tho con trol of tho Varcs, wero free of civil tcrvicc.

A capacity house, with nil pnid admissions nt the prcvnilingipricesof from $1 to $3, would have amounted to only SC000. The per formance in reality yielded but $4000.

The third act had finished In a blnzo of glory and the principals had received many "brnvos!" and rccnlls. Fewer of tho audience than usual left their seats after the close of the act, and all wore watting for tho opening of the closing scenes and tho "Miserere" when the curtains parted and the tenor stood be fore them.

Such a case would be where a druggist can prove that his stock of whisky is depleted and he had prescrip tions for more whisky for medicinal purposes."

Tho record deficit was that of the Democratic party in 1010, when, during the last few weeks of the campaign, n large sum of money was snent in ndvertis- ing Wilson and when the party quit owing $000,000. Tho Democrats will probably owe much more than that this year, and the Republican deficit also is sure to bo greatly In excess of $000,000. Nor mallly thero is a slight deficit at the end of every national prtmnnlt-n. Thi Republican party usually owes about $200,000 on election day. This year It will owe several times that. And this, will not be owing to a failure tn keep within the budget. Tho budget of slightly over $3,000,000, testified to by Frederick W. Upham. treasurer of the Republican National Commlttco before tho Kcnyon commit tee, will be exceeded by only a small percentage. G. O. P.

No par ticular effect wns felt from those charges. Collections went on nt just about tho smite nito nfter Governor Cox hnd made, his attnek ns before.
