P, Chairman Writes Mayor to Support Party Regularity MAY AFFECT GALLAGHER A strong pronouncement urging votes for the straight Republican ticket wns issued today by Senator William E. Crow, Republican state chairmnn. It was sent to Mayor Moore from Harris burg. Ona reaction from tho state chnlr man'g message may be n lessening of the voto for James J. Gallagher, nnti Vare candldnte for Council from the First district, who is opposed to Charles J. Pommcr, the Vnre choice. Pommer was handed tho Republican nomination for Council by ward com mitteemen in the wards embraced In the First district. Gnllagher Is run ning on tho People's party ticket and is also the Democratic candidate. Of more general interest is the effort seen In the statement to check nny do fccrtions from tho ranks of those sup poring Senator Pcnrosp for rc-clcctlon. Republican state leaders claim that Democrats have been using widespread propaganda to cut Penrose's- antici pated largo majority. "There Is too "much overconfidencc In tho state," .Mr. Crow wrote. "It may havo bad results, and affect our ma jority nnd victory, and result in close contests. I suggest that extraordinary efforts and activities be Btarted at once. I.cavo nothing undone in seeing that your county polls a full Republican strength of men nnd women voters. We learn that the opposition is advising women voters tt cut the. ticket to re duce our majority. Be on the alert and urge all workers to strongly ad vocate the straight Ronutfliean ticket. "It Is important that everybody gats busy at once. Take nothing for granted. Let us have a strong pull from now on by nTIMlppubHcnn lenders nnd workers, and we will put the ticket over the top by n big margin." Much of th Democratic propaganda to induce splitting of the ticket has been sown among women voters. Some women members of county organizations have declared ngalnst Senntor Penrose. Politicians were speculating on the significance of the message to the Mayor, who is regarded by ltis friends as titular leader of the Republican party In Philadelphia. The Mayor hns fn vored Gallagher's candidacy for Coun cil. Doubt exists over the nttltude of Thomas W. Cunningham, Republican Alllanco president, with respect to the councilmnnic fight. Cunningham, quoted jestcrday as favoring Pommer, the Varc candidate, later denied tho statement, nnd said hewaa not ralxieg In the First district contest. Announcement of tho Mayor's sup port was made by Joseph C. Trainer nt n meeting of the Independent Re publican Club of the Twenty-sixth ward. While Mr. Trainer was sneaking nt the downtown club Mayor Moore was addressing the Engineers' Club, 1317 Spruce street. In bis address the .Mayor resorted defiance of nny combination of politicians which would seek to oer throw his administration. In commenting on the stntp chair man's statement. W. Harry Baker, sec retary ol the state conimltte, said it was not prepared with .the Philadelphia fnc tional situation in mind particularly. Its principal purpose, he said, is to in crease the Republican vote in sectlonh whero the Democratic vote is large. lie pointed out thnt seven congressional dis tricts In the state are represented by Democrats. "The state committee," he concluded, "wants to he sure the nntlnual ticket will get a full vote and not bo nffected by local conditions throughout the vari ous counties." Mr. Trainer expressed a belief that the Crow statement would not hurt Mr. Gallagher's chances of election. ASKSCAPTURE OF BANDITS U. 8.

A oar tlal Democratic success, such as holding the Republican majority In the Senate down to its present proportions, may have the same effect. A bad defeat for Cox, such as seems Impending, might bo interpreted ns a ' rejection of the Wilson league plan. But the election of a Democratic Senate, or even tho limited success of holding down the Republican majority in tho Senate, will lessen the effect of Cox's defeat. It Is the choice of s Senate rather than the choice of a President which is turnlnc on tho leacua issue. The election of Harding will mean rather tho rejection of the Demo cratic administration nt Washington than rejection of tho league. Most Democrats here, who have no i special Interest in the league, express tho hope that If Cox Is defeated .the Senate will also go Republican. They ' wish to avoid rosnonslblllty for resist ing Harding's policies and to prevent the deadlock which hns existed for the last two years In Washington. It U only the straight-out League of Na tions supporters who hone for the elec tion of a Democratic Senate.
