State C. O. 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.

Chicago, Oct. 28. Democratic sue- "J
cess In tho drive to elect a mnjorlor ot
the Putted States Senate mny Imperil
Harding's League of Nations. 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.
Mny Resist Harding Program '
If the control of the DemocraHe
partv Is In thp hands of Wilson and
his frlpnds nfter tho election they will,
especially if the results in the choice
of Pnited Stntes senators give thera
conm-re, resist the Harding program of
n Lpbotp of Nations, or nn association
of nntions)withnut nn Article X in it
covenant. And with the bittcr-endera
on ono side nnd the Wilson Democrats
on thp other, onposing his program. Mr.
Harding, If elected, mny hnve nearly
as much difficulty In obtaining a two
thirds mnjorlty of tho Pnited States
Sennte ns President Wilson hnd.
Thp Irreconcilable bitter-enders, onj
the Republican side who nre bent upn, j

will be lkely to stand with their party
nnd accept the program of the netf ,
President, especially- If. ns expected It ,
contemplates radical departure froni the

may bo elected. Shortrldge who Is run-
nine nirninst Phelnn In Cnl'fnrula. is
a similar situation to race. Hotli men

At any rate. Harding will linve a
