Nothing Left Undone
No nchemo that ' political ingenuity
fould devise was left untried by them.
e yiunrgca uihj cuuiurr-LIinrKl'S ox iruuu,
f' tntlmidation, nnd the usual schedule of
' wtction dodges flow like birdshot.
' It' is alleged by the Traiucra that
i lfc price of votes was raised out of nil
.groportlon to past performances in that
ane.
An unusual nnd very Interesting
phase of the presidential ballot was thd
elto of the Debs vote In this city. Tlio
Prisoner in Atlanta received 17,037
votes. It is nearly one-halt of the etc
tire Socialist vote cast In L'cnnsvlvnuln
four years ago for the then presidential
candidate, Allan J. Dcnttou.
jglgn Worth Watching
It is a political weather vano well
worth watching. A large proportion of
it came from the industrial wards, nota
bly in tho northern and southern sec
tions. In tho Twenty-eighth ward 1233
votes were piled up for Debs. In the
Thirty-ninth, 17C8; the First, 873 j tho
Thirty-third ward, 1031 i the Forty
third ward, 087, nnd in the Forty-sixth,
020.
In contrast with the size of the So
cialistic vote is that of Christiansen,
tho candidate of the Farmer-Labor
party, which cut hucIi spcctaculnr shines
at its Chicago convention. Its princi
ples apparently carved no Ice or none
to amount to anything with Industrial
workers. Tho big fellow from the West
got only HOO votes out of the hundreds
of thousands polled in the city.
Not even burnt brandy, much lrs
contraband whisky, which wns peddled
openly In Democratic nnd mippocdly
doubtful congreiiniml districts, 'ould
savo the untorrlflcd from tin- wrath of
disgruntled communities!. Tho icturns
from the state at this writing indi
cate thnt the Republicans have cap
tured three Democratic districts nnd
three more arc in doubt.
It looks as though the Democratic
representation from Pennsylvania in
the next Congress would be about twoT
It is the greatwit'lsndslldo'ln Upstate's
history.' , . j
Tho outcome is in sorry contrast with
the foolish and flamboyant claims of tho
Dpmnerntlo State Committee of thrco
days ago. Then it wn-J claiming eighteen
districts, Just half tho delegation in
Congress.
The nickel-plated ncrvo of Secretary
Van Dyke which Induced him to mako
such a prediction, or even encourngo it,
was political prophecy raised to tho nth
power of the preposterous.
General Wllilt J. Hillings, in the
Twenty-eighth Congressional district,
comprising tho counties of Elk, Warren,
Forest, Venango nnd 'Mercer, has been
sidetracked for Harris Bixlcr. Blxlcr
had the Democratic and Itenobllcan
nominations, won after a court decision.
Hullngs, therefore, though tbftslttng
member, had to run on a prohibition
and independent ticket.
Doubt In Erie -Crawford
A trinngul'a'r fight. Is in doubt in the
Erie-Crawford district, the Twenty
fifth. Milton W. Shrcvc. the present
congressman, is tho candidate of the
"ilrvu " wdlip It. J. Firman Is runnine
as the Republican, with M. It. Hnibach
as tho liemocrnt. neports indicate mo

The big feature of the cntiro con
gressional fljdit is the election, on the
latest returns, of Oerncrd, Republican,
over Dumn, Democrat, In tho Demo
cratic Ucrks-Iichlgh fortress.
This, the Thirteenth district, was, up
until vesterdav. tho annlc of the Dem
ocratic eye; the Democratic shibboleth
of the state. It was the one district
where a Democratic nomination has nl
ways been equivalent to nn "lection.

MANY car owners, I find, arc making
big savings by placing their auto
mobile insurance with the Liberty
Mutual. I got back $32.64 on my premium
last year clean saving.
"In the Liberty Mutual, you gee insurance
at actual protection-cost, in a strong com
pany with a record for full responsibility
and prompt settlements."
Last year, every Liberty Mutual policy
holder received, at policy termination, a
30 cash refund on his premium a sav
ing of at least 23 over stock-company
cost. The Liberty Mutual'3 cash refunds
have always been 30 of the automobile
premium.

insurance this year? Find out! Use the coupon

noted William Connell, once Uiebg
Republican leader of the Luzerne dis
trict.
Democratic hopes fell yesterday like
the leaTcs of Vallambrosa. Congress
man John J. Casey, of Wllkcs-Uarre
tho Lackawania district, was one of
them. He dropped beside Patrick Mc
Lane. Clarence D. Coughlln, Repub
lican, Is hln successor. It is another
instance where the labor voto went
where it wasn't expected to bo.
Dutlcr and Westmoreland counties,
the Twenty-second Congressional dis
trict, also redeemed themselves. John
II. Wilson, Democrat, who, really won
on a fluke .last, year, was defeated by
Adam M. Wyaht, and phce more the
great bituminous counties will ce ici
resented in Washington by a .Republi
can. V -
Hut Wurral Wurra! Tho worst i
yet to come Out in the Twenty -third
district Bruce Sterling, Democratic state
chairman, was opposing Congressman
Kendall. Fayette nnd Somerset 'coun
ties, with Greene, comprise the district;
all big coal producers. At last accounts
Hi- -tare chairman was still under the
debris.
" It Is likely that John V, tosher, pres
ent JJcmocrauc congressman irom ou
bury in tho Sixteenth district, has been
returned. . . ...
Great doubt exists about Attorney
General Palmcr'a district, the Twenty
sixth. Reports aroi lacking, and It is
counted at this hour as doubtful, w.
H. Kirkpatrick, of Boston, is the Re
publican who is.maklng the fight against
George W. Gclser, also of Easton.
It would be Democracy's crown of
borrow Bhould this, a cabinet officer s
district, about face and become Repub
lican. But it looks that waynow. Any -hbw,
it is notorious that General Palmer
didn't turn a Anger to help Cox on the
stump, and why,' they ask, should he
help him at the polls? . .
It really looks, by and large, as It
tho Democrats in Pennsylvania dlun t
havo a leg left totstond on.

Unless it gives the simple,
staple results which the
Hupmobile owner gets, no
car can truly be said to be
worth what it costs.
Vk
It should everlastingly keep
going. It should not have to
be "hauled home" except for
accident

,The repair costs per year should
be t negligible. (We believe the
average cost per car for Hupmo
bile repairs is lower than any
car in the world.)
It should, like the Hupmobile, have a
reputation for low-cost long life so good
that it will always command a high price
when re-sold.
These things are axiomatic. They make
up the thing known as value. They are
the things you pay for and get, in the
Hupmobile.
