By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
This is th( difference between the
two nominees for Governer of Pennsyl
vania :
Glfferd Pinchot, Republican, has a
definite policy nnd platform.
Jelfn McSparran, Democrat, has ap
parently neither definite policy nor plat
form. Mr. McSparran confines himself te
reiterated and wholesale denunciation
of the State Administration and violent
personal attacks en individuals.
Moreover, he Is a reactionary. He
represents the reactionary element in
the citizenry of the Commonwealth.
Attached In Ills Own Party
He has been se tagged by one of the
nblest inland Dcmecrntlc newspapers of
the State.
Town and Country, of Pcnnburg, n
newspaper of wide Influence and large
circulation, of which Fester C. Hlllegns
is editor, and Prof. G. W. Lutz. n
schelnrly and widely known teacher
and clergyman, is associate editor, says
of McSpnrran's virulent persennl at
tacks en Dr. Finegnn :
"It is possible that McSparran is un
consciously voicing the sentiment of
thnt vast minority of the Stnte Grange
who think mere of the pig pen than the
H'hoel house."
It is the most striking rebuke a
political candidate has received in years
from a rcputublc nnd representative
newspaper of his own party.
Mr. McSpnrrnn, ns MIs Mnrgaret
Mngulre in one of her able addressee
declared, "is seeking te drag the pub
lic schools of the State into politics."
Would Tammanyle Schools
He is striving, unwittingly, perhaps,
but striving nevertheless, te accomplish
just what the Democratic Party, rep
resented by Tammnny Hall, hns done
with the public schools of New Yerk
City.
Mr. McSparran, weie he n member
of Tnmmnuy Hall, the corrupt nnd de
grading Democratic orgnnii'.ntien thnt
rules New Yerk, could net de mere tlmn
he is doing te cast discredit upon the
public school system of the Stnte.
Tnmman Hall and McSparran belong
te and represent the same political
parly, its tendencies nnd method.

shame and d I' grace te the city."
In previous articles I hnve indi
cated Mr. McSpnrran's distortion of
fncts nnd his reckless and ii responsible
quotation of figures.
Misstatements by McSpanau
Tn addition te his persennl nttneks
en Dr. Themas E. Fiiicgan. McSparran
is claiming thnt it was the State Grange
that mined the salary of the school

New Yerk, Oct. 23. Federal Judjr
Lenrncd Hnnd tedny hnnded down a
decision dismissing the motion of for
eign nnd Amerienn ship cnmpnnies for
n permnnent injunction restraining Fed
eral prohibition agents from putting
Inte effect the bone-dry ruling of At
torney General Duugherty. He extended
the stay temporarily, however, en con
dition thnt the steamship companies file

Judge Hnnd decided in fnver of the
Government en nil points. The decision
wns rendered en the specific mntter of
the application of foreign lines for nn
injunction protecting from seizure ships
cnrrylng liquor under senl en the enst enst
beund veynge from the United States.
The decision applies te both foreign
nnd Amerienn lines because of the
statement, mndc by Judge Hand during
the injunction proceedings Inst week,
thnt a defeat of the motion of the for
eign lines would naturally bring about
defent of the American lines' motion for
nn Injunction,
The temporary extension of the stay
granted by Judge Hand npp'Ies only
te liquor te be used as supplies for
members of ships' crews en the cast
bound ve age te Europe. This exten
sion wns granted en the furnishing of
n bend of 52.", 000 by thp steamship
companies te guarantee thnt the liquor
would net be used for any ether pur
poses than the one stipulated.
