DO REPUBLICANS OF THE STATE
WANT A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR?
Nomination of Alter Would Bear Anal
ogy te Beaver Campaign of 1882
Whan Pattlaen Wen
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
TVJ TUB Republicans of Pennsylvania
-' want a Democratic Governer?
Under certain conditions the opportunity
for the election of one this year is mere
fnverable thnn at any time since the mem
orable campaign of 1882, when Rebert
Kmery Pattlsen, Democrat, was chosen te
that high office. Mr. Paulsen's opponent
was n crippled veteran of the Civil War, a
distinguished soldier and nn upright citizen,.
General James Addams Beaver.
General Beaver, like Attorney General
Alter today, was a hand-picked candidate.
Matthew Stanley Quay, with the almost
uncanny prescience which characterized his
political foresight, had sensed the approach
ing storm of popular Indignation of that
time, which was largely confined te the
better element of the Republican Party, and
j-e he selected General Beaver ns the organi
zation's candidate. It wns with the vain
hope that the nppearance of this maimed
here upon the hustings would se appeal te
the public that detestation of boss methods
would be swallowed up in sympathy for the
candidate.
At that time 1SS2 the Republican
Party had enjoyed nn uninterrupted reign
of power for fifteen years. There had been
outbursts of popular discontent with boss
management in previous campaigns, but they
were sporadic nnd indefinite, ns in the cry
of the Hartranft campaign, "Addition, Divi
sion and Silence."
When the contest of 18S2 approached,
far-seeing Democratic leaders, notably Lewis
C. Cassidy, .Tames Gay Gorden, Eckley B.
Coxe, William A. Wallace, Geerge Res
and Simen P. Wolvcrten, decided that their
candidate must measure tip te the oppor
tunity presented.
I'nttlsen had made n brilliant success as
City Controller of Philadelphia. He had
abolished graft and purified the atmosphere
of that office. His name was upon the lips
of every Democrat.
Teung, virile, ambitious nnd clean, Pat Pat
tKen was the Ideal candidate, and he was
nemlnnted. Beaver was defeated by this
Democratic stripling. Net because Beaver
was personally unfitted or popularly disliked.
By nil the logic of politics he should have
defeated Pattlsen. He had the prestige of
the long-established power of the great Re
publican Party behind him. He was n
popular here, a maimed soldier, a distin
guished lawyer and a gentleman. Besides
which he bore the hallmark of approval of
Quay nnd the Republican bosses.
This latter fact was the shining target at
which all the shafts of Democracy and in
dignant Republicanism were aimed. And
they struck the bull's-eye.
There Is n startling analogy between the
conditions thnt prevailed In the governor
ship campaign of 1882 and that of 1022 that
is well worthy of consideration.
In the preliminary skirmish for the Re
publican nomination for Governer, one can
didate. Glfferd Pinchot, with a distinguished
record' for public service, asks the franchises
of the people en the basis of his absolute
freedom from boss dictation or selection.
There Is no doubt i.)out his sincerity. Tin Tin
ether enndidnte, Attorney General Alter,
an nffable gentleman, n lawyer of high ability
whose private character is above reproach,
is the selection of the bosses. He carrlo carrle
the insignia of their approval aloft se that
all men and women may see nnd understand.,
It Is a statement of absolute fact that Mr.
Alter's candidacy has been forced upon the
people.
The Democrats, with a persplencity nn
dreamed of, have named ns their candidate
a man from the ranks. Jehn A. MeSpnrran,
n fnrm-bred, college-trained lender of the
great army of agriculturists. A man with
cleur-cut ideas who, with forceful oratory,
knows hew te present them notwithstanding
that some arc of decidedly archaic, if net
radical, tendencies. Thus far in his cam
paign he has been unstinted in his pledges
for reform in government if elevated te the
governorship.
At least he will hnve ample mntcrlal upon
which te exercise his talents it elected.
"With existing conditions and the candi
dates of both parties, the present is a par par
leus -ear whose political horoscope threatens
dniiKereus possibilities for the Republican
Party.
There Is universal unrest ever questions
of taxation, and in the Commonwealth there
is the dread of further burdens impending.
The iuerensed raxes imposed by the last
Legislature, rendered necessary by the in
c'rensed cnt of government nnd the demands
of a growing population, have met with re
sentment. The graft and scandal asso
ciated with the enforcement of the Velstead
law the unemployed ten thousands, con
tinned high prices that still mark the reign
of the profiteer, nnd the latest discontent
with conditions nt Washington, are se many
liens In the pathway of the majority party.
Above everything, however, rises para
mount the repugnance nnd discontent ever
revelntlens of the graft, sclf-sVeklng and
scandal that have marked the fiscal affairs
of the State at Harrisburg. The boasting
and vulgar flippancy, the brazen defiance
of public sentiment in violation of the law
by unworthy officials elected by the people,
lme produced n revulsion of feeling within
the party In the iatt car tnat is bound te
have n reflex action upon the decision In
November.
The defeat of Glfferd Plnchpt at the pri
unities en May 10 would create a situation
that would be a counterpart of the one in
which pattlsen defeated Beaver In 18S2.
It Is a situation entirely within the Re
publican Tarty. It was the Republican
Party that made Pnttlfcen Governer.
Left solely te depend upon the basic
strength of the Democratic Party, Jehn A.
MeSpnrran would be hopeless of election,
save through unparalleled apathy within the
Republican ranks,
This, however, is net nn apathetic year.
It Is te be a vibrant, combative, ilniest
tumultuous years, Jrera all Indications, into
BEX".f it?U BjBBPfffi',4-TSllfajM
iiStltfnee
'lajiUecteeVwltli an Myet "unknown inrten '
tlnllty.
With this situation facing the Republican
Party, can it afford te lake the risk of
wrecking its immediate future for the sake
of a little coterie of leaders who are in
spired by purely selfish financial motives?
Can the Republican Parly afford te nomi
nate Alter with such n portent threatening
the final result?
De the Republicans of Pennsylvania want
a Democratic Governer?
THE COST OF CHINESE CHAOS-
DISPATCHES from Pckln describe Prcsf
dent Hsu ns standing en the balcony of
the former Empress Dowager's palace, In
tently listening te the cannonading of two
armed factions contesting for the mastery of
his tumultuous country. President Hsu, It
Is added, "is watching the progress of events
with keen Interest."
Considering that he is likely te be turned
out any moment by cither of the two in
flamed groups of partisans, It can scarcely
be said that this report is vulnerable en the
score of ever-cmphasls.
Comprehension of the finer shades of mili
tant Chinese politics is still denied te West
erners. It is puzzling, for instance, te note
the reported transfer of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's
allegiance te General Chang, supposedly an
exponent of extreme militarist' principles
and suspected even of monarchist sympa
thies. Dr. Sun is popularly regarded as a liberal,
which would lead iron-Chinese .te imagine
that his sympathies would He with General
Changs opponent, General Wu, represent
ing Southern nnd Central interests. But
from this distance only the bare objective
outlines of n situation excessively confused
can be discerned.
Contrary te many expectations, Wu ap
pears, for the moment, at least, te be gain
ing the upper hand. In u battle fought with
modern weapons, strikingly in contrast te
the parasols and fans with which, it is said,
some of the Chinese Iroenn went in ".",.
against Japan in the nineties, Wu has de
feated his opponent en three fronts near the
walls of Pekin.
The gates of that city have been closed,
and President Hsu, in response te pressure
from the foreign embassies, is pleading for
a cessation of hestllltle. and a settlement of
the issues by negotiation.
Evidently memory of the siege of the
embassies in 1000 is still vivid In the lega
tions. There is only a superficial similarity
in the situation, since It Is comparatively un
likely thnt the methods of the Boxer days
will be repeated. It is new net se much the
foreigners who are imperiled as China her
self. The perplexed, yet "keenly interested"
Government in Pekin has already urged
the temporary abandonment bv the Wash Wash
irigten Conference Powers of 'the projected
steps e r d China of the mortification of
extra-territoriality claims observed by sev
the Tnl el T' i"cIudl'K Particularly
France ' ' BritaIn nnil
A commission designed te investigate this
jurisdiction with a view te its permanent
elimination wns provided for by the Wash Wash
ingten Conference, nnd was te have been
organized within three months after the close
of the sessions. he time limit expires to te
morrow. The postponement of this Inqulrv will
seriously delay that recognition of the gen
uine national integrity of Chlnn which, en
paper, was se encouragingly ndvecatcd nt
Washington. It Is an historical irony that
the request te halt proceedings should come
from the nation which was te have been the
exclusive beneficiary.
As the case new stands, chaotic China is
engaged in damaging these, very causes for
which her delegates, representing the new
dazed Pckln regime, pleaded se eloquently in
the United States only n few months age.
HANGING TOGETHER
SENATOR LONG'S roster of the Repub
lican City Committee, with the jobs
held by the members who have indorsed the
candidacy of Mr. Alter, suggests that the
job-holders believe in hanging together for
fear they may hnng separately.
Mr. Alter.is an officeholder who hns been
selected by Senater Vare and ether office
holders for another office. There are forty
eight members of the City Committee.
Thirty-five of them are drawing pnv from
the National, State, city or Ceuntv Trcas
ury, in sums ranging from $11,00 te $1-1.000
a year. Among these who are net new office
holders are David II. Lene, who held office
fee long that he is new an officeholder
emeritus, nnd James II. Sheehan, who has
only recently retired from office. Then there
are some contractors who are in politics for
business reasons, and a few ether men who
de net new have any office, but are willing
te accept one as seen ns their friends can
arrange the matter for them.
Se, when these officeholders, nt the com
mand of Senater Vnre, indorsed their fellow
officeholder, the event wns as significant as
the taking of Helland by the Dutch It
simply means that the local Vare machine
is for Alter.
The indersement of Pinchot by Represen
tative Giicst, Republican leader of Lancas
ter County, and Charles Jehnsen, Republi
can leader of Montgomery County, is much
mere significant. They are se-called "or
ganization" men, bflt they have evidently
discovered that the rank and file of the
voters are se strong for Pinchot that if they
wish te retain thejr positions as represen
tatives of the sentiment of their counties
they must fellow the lend of the voters

AVhlch, considering that the Investigation
would inevitably disclose the big hunk of
cash representing the difference between the
cost of coal nt the mine nnd the cost te the
consumer, nnd thus hns a distinct bearing
en the formulation of n wage scale, seems
disingenuous, te say the least.

Tha Yeung Persen In Polities, Usually'
Hard te Find, Has Turned Out '
In F-ull Force for Or. Geerge
Woodward
By SARAH D. LOWRIE
ON THE civic betterment, the political
betterment meetings, the candidates'
committees and the party councils thnt I
find myself these days I leek about and find
no person under thirty-five and the majority
ever fifty, nnd 1 nMc myself: "Where are
the eung? Where even are the cempara
tlvely young?"
Once one youngish married woman strayed
into an organization meeting where I oc
cupied n bnck sent and I asked her rn a
hearse excited whisper whether she liked
pelitics:
"Ne," she hissed, "I hate them and I
cannot make head or tall of them."
Since then I hafe geno up and down the
land trying te find any young person who
was enthusiastic about voting or about
elections or about candidates, and I have
only found counterparts of that first one,
some mere Indifferent, some mere violently
opposed, but one nnd all were unhelpful
politically until today, when I ran into a
group of fiery young enthusiasts, young
chaps who spend their evenings electioneer
ing. Curiously enough the region thnt Is
the tramping ground for this "young move
ment ' covers the wards out by Roxborough,
Germnntewn, Tiega and Oak Lane. And
the candidate whose cause they have made
their own is Dr. Geerge Woodward, the
present State Senater, who Is running te
succeed himself as Independent Republican
candidate.
I HAVE been curious te knew- why he,
of all the candidates, has reused this
working enthusiasm In the young, and I
discover thnt they like him because they
believe In him.
They think that he has from the first
steed for saving the people's money, that
his urgence for n State budget, his work en
the commission for reorganizing the State
departments nnd his whole influence with
regard te ptate welfare Institutions have
been te economize In luxuries nnd deal lib
erally with necessities. The oncoming gen
eration hates what it calls Va mess' nnd
prefers simplicity te show. It is sharp ever
a bargain and is disgusted with bribe
takers and has a mighty contempt for profi
teering nt the country's expense. What the
soldiers snw of the waste of the war sick
ened them perhaps unduly with the whole
idea of the Government as n spender and
provider.
At all events It is the younger generation
who are helping Senater Woodward keep
Ills scat up at Hnrrlsburg. They say
frankly that they like his record and prefer
him vastly te the "Mcrry-Go-Reund" Man
who Is running ngnlnst him as the regular
Republican for thnt part of town. "The
Merry-Ge-Round Man," by the way, is one
Dentzel, who manufactures carrousels nnd
is the particular friend of Ceuncllmnn Gnns,
who rules the Thirty-eighth Ward with a
firm thumb.
I DO net knew the ins nnd outs of Gans
and his friend, but T de knew thnt for
years Senater Woodward has been nn open
minded nnd Intelligent friend of geed causes
up in Hnrrlsburg nnd in this city.
I once asked him hew he get involved In
politics nnd he snid that he wns put. by a
sort of chance, en the Beard of Health, nnd
while serving en thnt beard it struck him
one dny te leek into the wnter contamina
tion of the city's supply. He took a beat
and n photographer and went un the river.
hen he came down he had enough frightful
details te scare even the City Council. The
scare grew, and every time there was an
outbreak of typhoid these photographs were
se many nightmares. Eventually the
filtration was the result.
Frem then en the whole matter of city
welfare became nn absorbing interest te
Woodward. He could nccempllsh much by
private means, for he and his wife are rich
and generous nnd conscientious in their use
of money Hell's Hnlf Acre, that plague
spot in tire center of the town, was bought
by money nnd cleaned up by money and a
great lodging house built en Its cleared
acreage. Exhibits of bad housing, bad
drainage, bad city cleaning, ignorant neglect
of child welfare were set up in the Olty
Hall Square for the public te read, mark
and mend.
The whole matter of the public schools
and the teachers' salaries had in Woodward
n tireless champion. The City Charter was
se much his enthusiasm that it went by his
name. The Woodward real estate settle
ment out at St. Martins and nleng the
Lincoln Drive wns one of the first and re
mains one of the best real estate organiza
tions In the country.
It Is n model for beauty and for comfort
te the tenants and for fair dealing between
landlord nnd tenant. There are many beau
tiful private places about Philadelphia, but
en the gates of most is the notice "Ne
Thoroughfare." But te long vistas 'of the
grounds of the Woodwards the public has
been w-elcemc for years. These and many
ether things a rich man could nccempllsh un
aided by the public in general. But for the
passage of geed laws nnd for their mainte
nance mere wns needed thnu private wealth
and personal power. Which was why, I fancy
Geerge Woodward ran originally for State
Senater nnd why he has been urged te run
again and why the younger generation, his
sons' friends nnd little groups of veung men
from Roxborough te the Yerk reed, have
sprung up te see film bnck for another term.
I DARE say up in Hnrrlsburg there arc
ether men mere popular than hn Is bc
cnuse they take what is coming and de net
leek before they vote ; liecnusc, in fact they
arc reliable rubber stamns. '
Woodward, no mere than Pcnper would
be n practical rubber stamp. Beth like te
read ever things before signing, both hnve
in their minds' eve the people whom they
represent rather than the boss that beckons
them Inte line. I Imagine there will hn a
considerable fight en between new and elec
tion day te get Woodward well past his en.
penent and first in nt the winning pest I

Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subjects They
Knew Best
CLAYTON W. PIKE
On Lighting Effects at Great Expositions
THE use of electric lighting for decorative
purposes is one of the-chief fncters In a
great exposition, according te Clayten w.
Pike, former Chief of the Electrical Bureau
of the City of Philadelphia.
"The lighting and the power of a great
exposition," said Mr. Pibe, "constitute one
of the most important elements in the sue
cess of such an undertaking. The lighting
especially has an importance far beyond
what its title indicates, because it is used
as a medium of advertising nnd as a means
of impressing the minds of the visitors with
the extent and the beauty of the exposition
in addition te its utilities.
"The spectacular and decorative effects
produced by artistic lighting unquestionably
create n great effect in the minds of the
visitors, nnd in many cases this is one of
the chief impressions which they take away
with them from an exposition. This was
especially the case with the San Jrancisce
Exposition, in which the mntter of lighting
was carried te far greater lengths both In
extent nnd in artistry than ever before.
Great Advances Made
"But, cven'since the San Francisce Expo
sition, there" have been many Important
changes in the science and the art of illumi
nation, both for decorative nnd utilitarian
purposes, and the last decade has witnessed
many of these.
"Chief among these changes nave been
two which will play nn important pnrt In
the Sesqul-Centennial here in 102U. The
first of these enables the engineers te ebtuin
much mere elaborate and tasteful effects
thnn by the elder method, nnd the second
nllews them te secure these effects at a very
much lower cost.
"The former is the use of what is called
the 'flood' light. By it the architectural
fentures of the buildings are Illuminated by
a relatively small number of large lighting
units, which nre themselves concealed, as
compared with earlier expositions, where
the nrchltecturnl outlines were simply
'picked out' or merely outlined by a great
number of smaller lumps which weie exposed
te the eye. The elder form had the disad
vantage of producing a 'dazzle' In the eyes
of the beholder, nnd the method wns practi
cally confined te one color. The newer form
produces a glow nnd may be modified te
give any color desired, or any combinations
of color.
A Financial Saving
"The ether change, which is in the line
of financial economy, was brought about by
the Invention ei me tungsten niiimcnc lamp,
coupled with the use of an inert gas within
the lnrap, whereas the earlier lamps Involved
a high vacuum within the bulb. This in
vention has enabled us te produce about
three times the amount of light ferthn same
expenditure of energy as was needed for the
cnrlicr lamps.
"Philadelphia may well hope te surpass
all expositions thus far given In many re
spects, but In nene mere thnn In the light
ing and general Illumination. The lighting
effects at the Snn Irancisce Exposition were
se magnificently conceived nnd executed thnt
at first it seems difficult te see hew they
could possibly be surpassed. But we have
been very fortunate in the selection of u site
which will 'f'8ult " "ving buildings well
balanced en both sides of u water basin
,i. ueiiurlklll River and this will nm-ir.it
illuminative effects never before possible at
any exposition except the one in Paris. And
in thiH connection It Is Interesting te note
that the width of the Seine ut the ,,elnt
where the Paris Exposition was held is
almost exactly the same width as the Schuyl
kill at the place of the Sesqut-Centennlal.
Use of Decorative Lighting
"Lighting was first used for exposition
decorative purpebcs n this country at the
Chleuge World's Fair, in 180:i. and since
that lime every exposition has made nn ad
vance proportionate te the development of
lighting, which, ns I have said, has been
very great. At the San Francisce Exposi
tion some then new ideas were put into
effect. There were three of these which are
worthy of notice.
"The first was a development of the old
idea of an Illuminated fountain, This in
itself Is very old and hud been known te
electrical engineers for years, and It had
always proved te be effective. But at tCa
San Francisce Exposition the plan of Ilium!"
natlug a cloud of steam instead of water was
1 t 4 "i , m
- j; - T... - . ''-:.V''-'
tried nnd it worked out very successfully.
This iden originated with the well-known
Philadelphia architect, Albert Kelsey, who
made the suggestion at least twenty-five
years age, although lt wns never thoroughly
tried out until the Snn Francisce Fair.
Anether plan which was successfully
used there wns the illumination of a cloud
of, smoke. A locomotive was anchored se
curely and fired In such n manner ns te send
up great clouds of clean white smoke, which
was then illuminated electrically, and the
effect was very beautiful.
The Tower of Jewels
"The third effect, which was conspicuous
for its beauty nt San Francisce, wns the
lower of Jewels.' The 'jewels' were pieces
or colored ginss which were set in weed in
such n wny that the whole building appeared
te be constructed of them, nnd tlwsc were
played Hipen by unseen electric lights. Many
of these 'jewels' were nlse set at effective
places In the ether buildings and illumined.
"They were two or three Inches in diameter
apiece and were cut Inte facets se as fe
reflect the lijfht mere effectively. The tower
was one of the great show places of the
exposition But there have been improve impreve
ments and new things In illuminntien since
"! I1!? "''-elnhltt euld have many
fine lighting effects that were net known at
tunc time.
"With the advantages of position and the
advance of the art nnd the science of llluinl llluinl
natien there is no question that the Phila
delphia engineers nnd architects will net
only be able te surpass what has been done
before, but te produce effects wi.icli will
prove te be among the jest prominent feu
tures of the exposition. '"-"i ea
The Utilitarian Lighting
"With regard te the utilitarian lighting
much the sumo thing will npplv witl respect
te the latest improvements anil Hin,..Bf.
in which they will be-used. " ' fe, ting of
