The prtMiit campaign ' G
8f PennsylTnnla la the met irnnwal
that I recall In year.
It also marks an PV.TX .n
It ts the first time In which the en
franchised woman voter "
opportunity te cast a ballet for Get-
"ne are hundred of theaeanda of
women and a ast number of men te.
whom the campaign and lta lwuee are
uninteresting. This la . he"
inun are cither misunderstood or

In this, and In a series of articles te
fellow, I shall endenrer te present the
nominees and political Issues they have
ralicd In a thoroughly understandable
W te these who ordinarily de net
.but should take an Interest In politics.
On both sides, the Democratic and
u...Mrn. th .issues are clear cut,
though the methods of their presents-'
Hen are at times confusing.
The personality of the two nominees
for Governer Is interesting. Gifferd
1'lnchet, the Republican nominee, Is
.l .uv..i. nt .Tnhn McSetrran, his
me em.fc"" " -
lltmnemtle rival.
Vnt nnl In dresa. manner, emthed
nnd nelltlcal narty are they different,
iif tn nrenal anpearance andl
plijslcnl characteristics are they oppo eppo oppe
tltei. Beth Have Firm ,Taw
In one respect only is there a petnt
of resemblance. Each candidate has a
1'iognatheus Jaw, a lower jaw that
lirejecta slightly beyond tne taciai
angle.
Physiognemists say that thla 1 in-
iilnilm of firmness. In some enses
mnnnnrinff te obstinacy. It Is the
sign-manual of cerabatlvene&s, where
Ihe reelings or manners nre nreueu,
and of a tenacity of purpose, a bull
doggedness, tbnt often gees te extreme
lengths.
Mr. PInchet is tall, slender, mus
tached, with rather long features. He
Is suave In manner, candid, outspoken
nnd undemonstrative.
He never rises te extreme heights of
expression In tone or gesture when
mldreulng an audience.
Mr. McSparran Is of medium build,
sleewy and yet stocky, with bread,
Mnoeth-shnved features.
He talks In a well -modulated but at
t Iran harsh voice. He Is convincing,
argumentative, emphatic in expression
nnd gesture, and nn exceedingly able
inmpalgaer.
The radical difference in their char
ncteriitlcs as speakers is that PInchet
persuades, while McSparran denounces.
PInchet Is appealing and cool, Mc
Sparran Is fiery and defiant:
Plnchet's method of address is flexi
ble and adapted te bis audiences.-
McSparran'a never changes. He Is
n political Jeremiah, whose virile man
ner persists nnd whose voice changes
net, eicepi as tne capacity or tne hall
r the size of hla al fresco audience
requires.

struggles of the one-time miner leaders
te rise te high places and plans for the
mayoralty cempalgn' of next year.
Today Philadelphia's political and
even business and financial leaders are
talking local politics as they never did
before. Municipal business In City
Hall Is virtually suspended while heaita
of departments nnd subordinates try te
answer the questien:
"Who Is te be the new leader or lead
ers?" When Jeseph It. Grundy entered the
Union League today he was stepped at
almost every Btcp by Reme who urged
him te jump Inte the political nrenn of
city and State mere vigorously than
ever before and by ethers who wanted
te knew whom he thought should be the
new leader.
Mayer Moero Buttonholed
When Mayer Moere reached the
League he, tee. was halted and made
te Btand and deliver opinions en thfe
unprecedented state of local politics and
their relation te State politics and thc
Incoming Governer.
It took Itichard Weglcln, president of
Council, thirty-five minutes te reach his
office en the fourth fleer after he had
stepped Inte City Hall.
Councilman Charles B. Hall was an
other who, at every point, was the cen
ter of groups of Important nnd unlm unlm
pertnnt politicians. Mr. Hall and Mr.
Wegleln and the ethers had numerous
conferences en the situation. Mr. Hall
talked things ever behind closed doers
with Register of Wills "Billy" Camp
bell, leader of the northeast. Wegleln
talked with Hall.
Tem Cunningham was closeted at
different times with Mlm" Carey, of
the Bloody Fifth, and Weglein and
Hnll and Campbell. Ne office in the
hall was without Its secret conference
nnd when it was nil ever, the name and
address of the new leader was still
lacking.
In the office, there was a mighty
search for the "man with the money"
te bark the paper schemes of new com
binations. Would Elect Cox as Senater
Out of nil of the turmoil, only one
definite plan appeared. That was n
concerted move by leaders In Council te
bring nbeut the ejection of C'otincllmen
E. It. Cox. former member of the
Heuse, as State Senater, te succeed
Senater Vare. It was argued that Cox
had the necessary legislative experience
and was thoroughly familiar with the
problems of city government, raised by
the new city charter, which may have
te be dealt with next session at Ilar
risburg. Te succeed Cox as Councilman, It
was believed that Frank J. Ityan, lead
er of the Thirty-sixth Ward, would be
chosen. Byan Is city committeeman
from the Thirty-sixth ward and wanted
te go te Council when the first Council
election was held under the new city
charter.
However, there Is talk of the Trainer
brothers fighting for the control of
Seuth Philadelphia which the Veres
held for se long, even against the on
slaught of the Twiners, Jeseph C. nnd
Harry J. The Trainers, It was sig
nificantly ebserverd, have the neces
sary cash, and may net only fight for
Seuth Philadelphia, as the Vares did
years age, but may branch out and
form a city-wide combination In har
mony with Billy Campbell, Corener
Knight, nail and ethers.
Grundy Friendly te Trainers
Therefore It was said that the Train
ers might dispute the selection of Cox
for the Stntc Senate. It is thought by
the leaders that both Cox and Ityan,
or whoever else Is chosen, could be

New Brunswick, N. J.. Oct. 17.
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall nnd her
brothers, Hnrry "Bunkie" Stevens,
famous win; shot, and "Willie"
Stevens, volunteer fireman and ec
centric, nre underjjein.tr a severe
cress-examination this afternoon in
the courthouse en the eve of what
the authorities premise will be a
sensational "break" in the prolonged
Hall-Mills murder investigation.
The Rev. IMward Wheeler Hall, hus
band of Mrs. Frances Nteen Hnll,
and rector of the Church of St. Jehn
the nwmgelist, and Mrs. l'leaner Rein
hardt Mills, singer In the choir nnd
wife of James MilN. tiie sexton, were
slain September l-l en the old Phillip,
farm.
Fer the first time today the widow
of the rector ami her brothers were
confronted one with the ether nnd
statements all three bail made were read
te them. In each ether's presence they
were questioned by the two Pros
ecutors, A. M. Ileektnnn. of Somerset
County, and Jeseph 10. Strieker, of
Middlesex, and their principal deteo detee
tics. Session Guarded Carefully -
Refere the three were put under CX
aminnllnn In the careful! guarded
third Heur of the courthouse, with de-'
tectlves en the stairs and in the cor
ridors te Keep the curious out, the
premise wn made that "sensational de
velopments" would take place before
nightfall.
Members of the Prosecutors' fore
asserted, although thej would net stand
behind the statement with their name,
that by tonight a woman and u man,
already prominently mentioned In th
case, would be taken into custody.
What connection Mrs. Hall and her
brothers have with the impending ar
rests could net be learned. The thre
members of the Hall family were merely
the tirsl of a large group of person,
notified te appear this afternoon for
examination.
Henry Stnen, known ns "Captain
Kunkie," who i wealthy nnd n noted
sportsman, droe ever from l.avalette,
N J. lie parked bts machine eutside
the courthouse and went In te see the
Prosecutors. Mr. Strieker ami Mr.
Iteekmiiii took bun upstairs and began
te question him lmmedlutelj.
Crowd (J.itb'Ts Quldily
News that Harrj Stevens was in th.
place spread qulikl. through the town.
The earlier rumor of "sensational de de
elepnients" bad areuted the interest? of
the townspeople and .1 crowd began te
gather et eip .
Count Detpcthe Ihivld had left th.
courthouse a short time before Harry
Stevens nrmed. The detective drove up
at 11 :"." o'clock in a limousine. In which
were seated two women and a man.
The mini tinned out te be "Willie,"
the eccentric broil or Detective David
piloted him through the crowd and Inte
the back wn, of the courthouse, steel
ing lilm with n hand mi his elbow.
Mrs Hall was one of the women, th.
oilier was Barbara Tough, a maid em em
llejed In the Hnll home Mrs. Hall
was in blnck, with a lighter vpII than
she bad worn at earlier nppenrnnces.
Mrs. Hall's face showed pain and
diawn under the oil. Her step and
carriage seemed te bear out the fre
quent reports that she wns 111, nt th.
edge of a neneus collapse.
A report circulated that the servant,
employed as an "upstairs girl" In th
Hall household, was te b" questioned
about a rumor that durli.-g the early
morning hours of t'rldav, September
1,1. after Mrs Hall and "Willie" re
turned from their reported lslt te th.
bun h in se.niii of the n mister, thy
had paced nerveusl up end down their
looms almost tint 1 1 dajbreak.
"Willie" and the two women wert
taken te the third Heur, where Harry
Stevens was being questioned Appar
ently the investigators had prepared te
examine them nt great length, as two
hours elapsed without even a sign from
the room where the questioning wu
under way.
State Police Net Notified

tween the county uutheiitles and th.
State police, it wns rejKirteil that th.
