JOB IS STUPIDLY DONE
Thousand Added to Democratic
Totals; 300 Subtracted From
Republicans
In Its desperate attempts to bol
ster up the Democratic strength in
Dauphin county and to misrepresent
the Republican enrollment, which, as
everyone knows, has shown a gain of
thousands over the Taft vote of 1912,
the Harrisburg Patriot pads the Dem
ocratic and Washington party enroll
ment totals and at the same time sub
tracts from the Republican total.
The Patriot's own figures confound
it. The tlgures as given in the table
of enrollment, which the Patriot says
was taken from the books, do not total
up as tho Patriot represents.
For Instance, the Patriot gives the
Democratic enrollment as 4,115, while
addition of its own printed figures on
an adding machine, which was also
checked up. shows only 3,209 for the
Democrats. In other words, almost, a
thousand less enrolled than the Pa
triot claims.
The Republican tigures are given by
the Patriot as 6,081, but addition of
its own printed figures gives 0,360.
Now, sis for tho Washington party,
the total of the Patriot's own printed
figures Is just 100 too high. The.
Patriot's figures actually total 1,318,
while it gives tho total as 1.418.

NOMINATING PAPER
The Superior Court Judge Appoint
ed by Governor Tener Has
No Opposition
PROMINENT MEN SIGNERS
Petition First to Be Entered For
Any State-wide Office to Be
Filled in May
JUDGBFRANK M. TREXLER
Nominating petitions signed by
judges, lawyers, professional and busi
ness men of all parties were Hied at
the Capitol to-day for the nomination
of .Judge Frank M. Trexler, of Allen
town, for the full term as a member
of the Superior Court, to which he was
appointed by Governor Tenor upon
the death of General James A. Beaver.
Under the act of 1913 all judicial
nominations are for tho . nonpartisan
ballotrfind the petitions tiled in-lnshalf
of the Lehlpli jWwt heWrmany u«tues
prominent in the State.
Although but 800 names are re
quired to present a candidate for a
State-wide nomination at the primary,
the law demanding 100 from each of
live counties, over 800 names are on
the eight petitions. They come from
Lehigh county, where 172 prominent
men in all walks of life and of all
parties signed; Northampton county,
led off by Judges Stewart and Scott
and signed by almost every member
of the bar; York county, and slgnea
by almost every lawyer; Berks county,
with Judges Wagner and Bushoug and
practically every attorney; Lancaster
and Franklin counties, where tnany
lawyers and prominent men signed,
and from Lawrence, where most of
the lawyers signed in behalf of the
judge. Other petitions are In circu
lation by attorneys, who asked to be
permitted to secure signers in other
counties, and a petition Is also in cir
culation here.
Except by men "suggested" by the
Prohibitionists and Socialists, Judge
Trexler is unopposed for the nomi
nation. He is well known here be
cause of his service as president Judge
of Lehigh county and Ills prominence
in child welfare and charitable asso
ciations, having been president of the

many well-known Pennsylvanians are
members. He Is president of the
Allentown Young Men's Christian As
sociation and has attended State meet
ings here and has been active in Pres
byterian Church affairs, being a ruling
elder In the First Church at Allen
town.
To Name Important
New Streets After
Nation's Presidents
llarrisburg's city ofllclal map may
some day boast of a Lincoln, Jackson,
Madison. McKinley, Cleveland, aye,
even a Roosevelt street. If City Engi
neer Cowden's plan for naming the
broader, more important highways of
the future can be carried out.
That's why the Engineer carefully
avoided choosing the name of a Presi
dent of the United States in naming
the scores of streets and alleys pro
vided for by the ordinances offered
in City Council yesterday afternoon
by William H. Lynch. Commissioner
of Streets and Public Improvements.
"Names like Lincoln and so on
should be reserved for one of our
most Importani streets, one that may
in the future be opened, should any
new section of adjacent territory be
developed and taken into th*> city,"
said the Engineer. "For the same
reason all the names of Presidents,
except possibly those few streets that
have long since been called after a
former head of the nation, ought to
be held in reserve. But the selection
of street names Is some job, believe
mo." smiled Mr. Cowden.
Prior to the introduction of the
street-naming measure yesterday Com
missioner Lynch and Engineer Cow
den discussed the ordinance. "I no
tice," said Mr. Lynch, ''that a letter
may have been dropped In one of the
names, and that Instead of 'lce' you
probably meant It to be "
"What?"
" 'Nice,' " said Mr. Lynch.

By Associated Press
Washington, D. 0., April 1. —Grati-
fied over the success of the Panama
tolls exemption repeal in the House,
President Wilson and his supporters
turned their attention 10-day to the
Senate.
Tho latest poll brought to the White
House by an administration Senator,
who canvassed his colleagues and ex

sidered doubtful; indicated that the
President's contention would have a
majority of at least sixteen —Repub-

Senator Owen, the administration
leader in the canal's committee, where
the measure now is pending, was at
the White House early conferring
with Secretary Tumulty. Asked about
the procedure in the Senate and length
of time for discussion, the Oklahoma
Senator said:
"It is natural to assume that if the
committee does not report promptly,
a motion will be made to discharge
the measure from consideration of the
committee. There is to be no effort
at forcing unnecessarily, but we want
no dilatory tactics. The committee

PLAYING POLITICS
ATTHE EXPENSE OF
SCHSOF IDLE MEN
Mayor Royal, Head of Sinking
Fund Commission, Has Taken
No Steps to Issue Bonds
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS, TOO
Copelin's Absence Blamed—Delay
May Hold Back Work Until
Midsummer
Mayor John IC. Royal is head of tho
Sinking Fund Commission of the city,
but appears to have been so busy play
ing politics in tho City Council that ho
has overlooked tho Important duty of
arranging for an Issue of bonds to
cover the public work -authorized by
the people last November.
Notwithstanding the fact that tho
ordinance was passod on January 27
and became effective February 6,
practically' two months ago, not a
single step has been taken to raiso
money to cover the items of the loan
measure savo tho usual item In tho
annual budget for the sinking fund
on the loan. These improvement
items are as follows:
For sewers, SIOO,OOO.
For bridges, $25,000.
For isle of safety and public com
fort station In Market Square, $25,000.
For modern apparatus for Are de
partment, $25,000.
For a municipal paving repair plant,
$25,000.
For parks and playgrounds, SIOO,OOO.
It will require several weeks to pre
pare the bonds and dispose of them
so that tho work authorized by
people con be started. Meanwhile tho
hundreds of idle men who should have
been given employment on the con
struction of sewers, the building of
bridges and tho other work embraced
in the last'loan proposition must wait
until the officials who havo been asleep
at the switch shall havo performed
(heir duty. It has been intimated
that City Treasurer Copelin's long
absence in the South Is responsible for
the tie-up of this work, but a majority
of the Sinking- Fund Commission were
here, and Mayor Royal Is tfelng se
verely vejisured In municipal circles
for failure t« attend to his duty iff the
premisses.
Those who are familiar with his
weekly controversies with his Repub
lican colleagues In the City Council
declare that his mind has been so
tilled with political moves that he has
entirely overlooked the welfare of tho
community.
Demands Immediate Attention
Aside from all the other Items in
the loan measure, that providing for
necessary sewers demands immediate
attention, arid any delay in this public
work must be attributed to the failure
of the Sinking Fund Commission to
provide the necessary funds as should
have been done weeks ago. "With
