Shambaugh and Garver Running
For County Place to Be
Filled May 5
PROF. F. K. SHAMHAUGH
Special to The Telegraph
-f,ykens. Pa., May I.—For the pur
pose of electing a county superintend
ent of public schools, the school di
rectors of Dauphin county outside of
Harrisburg will meet in that city on
Tuesday, May 5, and an interesting
contest has developed between Pro
fessor H. V. B. Garver and Professor
F. E. Shambaugh for the place.
Professor Garver is the present in
cumbent. He has served as superin
tendent for more than ten years and is
making a strong effort to be re-elected.
Professor Garver has as his oppo
nent a man not so widely known, pos
sibly, but one who has an excellent
reputation as a teacher and who has
been for eleven years past supervisory
principal of the Wiconisco township
Bchools. Professor Shambaugh is a
graduate of Susquehanna .University
and has taken a postgraduate course
at Columbia University. He has taken
a special interest in the training of
teachers and has been active in local
Institute work. He is a member of
the Masons, the Knights of Pythias,
the Patriotic Order Sons of America,
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
and the Modern Woodmen.
Professor Shambaugh said to-day:
"I have made a clean contest for the
office and I believe I will be elected,
but during the past few days I have
learned that some person, cither mis
informed or unscrupulous, has mi
iieiously circulated reports intended to
injure me. I am quite willing to have
»ny character and my personal record
investigated, contident in the assur
ance that I have never done anything
to in any way bar me from the po
sition to which I aspire."
Issues Letter
Professor Shambaugh to-day issued
the following letter to the county
directors, appended to which is the
recommendation of S. 11. Miller, secre
tary of the Wiconisco school board:
■{ "I take this method of announcing
Vny candidacy for the important po
sition of county superintendent of pub
lic schools at the election to be held
on the first Tuesday of May, 1914.

work I want to say that I have ha<J an
experience of llfteen years as a
teacher, three of which were spent In
the rural schools. I graduated from
Susquehanna University in 1902 with
the degree of bachelor of arts. Three
years later the same college granted
me the degree of master of arts. I
huv also taken postgraduate work In
education in teachers' college. Colum
bia University, in Now York city, from
which institution X shall secure the
master's degree.
"If elected, I promise an impartial,
sane, progressive, administration and
a helpful, sympathetic supervision of
the rural schools, and to reorganize
them so as to better serve the needs
and interests of their individual com
munities. and secure the maximum
efficiency from teachers and pupils.
Through the medium of organization 1
shall endeavor to bring the home and
school Into closer relationship and
co-operation.
"I take this opportunity, also, of
making a grateful acknowledgment of
the many pledges of support which I
have received in my canvass."
LEBANON COUNTY
FOR PENROSE
[Continued From First Page]
ago a resolution adopted by farmers of
Idaho complaining because farm prod
ucts had been placed upon the free
list in the Deniooratis tariff law, and
had been affected td such an extent
that in many instances prices had al
ready been reduced below the cost of
production.
"The conditions o four railroads and
of the iron and steel industries of the
country is well known. You will have
observed that pig iron is now coming
in trom Nova Scotia, thus outdoing tho
anomaly of 'carrying coals to Now
Castle.' If there is a single branch of
trade which has not yet felt at least
premonitory symptoms of the free
trade paralysis, I do not know what
it is.
"Why in our own county and town,
the plans are running about 50 per
cent, of their capacity. The head of
a certain concern which formerly had
a large business in the Gulf States told
me the other day that his product
had been entirely supplanted there by
foreign manufacturers, who, under the
new tariff and the cheap ocean freight
rates prevailing from Europe to Amer
ica, are able to sell at a profit at less
than It costs him to produce. One of
the largest and most successful indus
trial corporations in this State has
recently passed its dividend.
Reduction of Wages
"In at leas tone local instance that
I know of wages have already been
reduced and I fear that we are on the
verge of a general wage reduction all
along the line. This, to my mind,
would be a calamity for which the
American people would never forgive
the Democratic Administration. We
have built up here in the United States
a social and ndustrlal standard which
has made the American wage earner
the envy and admiration of the world.
Honest toil has brought comforts and
even luxuries that toilers never knew
before.
"Are we to sacrifice them all to the
fetish of free trade? I will not believe
that the Intelligent wage earners of
this land will permit it.
"We have been told that the Under
wood law is a 'tariff for revenue only.'
The condition of business indicates
very clearly that it certainly lives up
to the word 'only.' There is, as Mr.
Underwood said, 'not one atom ol' pro
tection in it.'
No Revenue From It
"But recent figures 'from tho De
partment of Commerce show also that
it does not produce the revenues nec
essary to operate the government even
in times of peace. In the month of
March imports free of duty had in
creased to $111,053,480 as compared
With $84,216,033 In March, 1913. Du
tiable imports shrank from $71,229,-
465 In March, 1913, to $70,876,559 In
March. 1914. Meanwhile, our exports
decreased and tlje excess of exports
over imports known as 'the balance of
tra'de," decreased from $31,987,213 In
March, 1918, to $5,384,131 last month.
"Thus, we arc about eo enter upon
a costly war with an apparent balance
of trade in our favor of about $60,-
000,000; whereas, under Republican
administrations, our balance exceeded !
$650,000,000.
"Nor is there any good reason to
suppose that this small balance of $5,-
000,000 a month will be retained, for
as the sapping Influence of free trade
goes on, the inliux of foreign goods
will be constantly greater and the ex
ports of domestic goods constantly
smaller. My prediction is that within
six months the balance of trade will be
against us instead of in our favor.
"Ordinarily, government revenues do
not mean much to the average citizen,
but now that we are talking about
raising a million dollars a day to fight
Mr. Huerta, revenues take on a new
significance. The stamp tax and vari
ous other methods of raising war
funds bring the question home to
everybody, rich and poor, high and
low.
"So I, say that there are many im
portant phases to the senatorial cam
paign which will begin with the pri
maries on May 19. Wo must protect
not only our private businesses, our
employes and our farming communi
ties, but we must protect Uncle Sam
also.
"How shall we do it? Not by the
election of a free-trader to the United
Staes Senate. Bhat goes without say
ing, Not by the election of a theo
retical forester who may know a great
deal about trees, but who has certainly
never given any indication that he.
knew much about practical business
requirements. De must elect a Re
publican Senator.
Dimmick and Penrose
"That being the case, the first thing
to do is to nominate one. There were
in the beginning three candidates. One
of them has withdrawn, leaving two—
Mr. Dimmick, of Scranton, and our
present senior Senator, Mr. Penrose.
I do not know Mr. Dimmick and I
know very little about him except
what has bene said in the newspapers
since he became a candlate. Of course,
if the majority of Republicans want
him, they will nominate him at the
primaries, and in that event wo will
all support him.
"But Senator Penrose we do know.
Most of us have met him personally
and those of us who have not are thor
oughly acquainted with his work in
Washington ill behalf of the eight
million people who inhabit Pennsyl
vania. We know him to be honest.
We know hi mto be energetic—pro
digiously so. We know him to be ca
pable and efficient. We know his fa
cility for achieving things for Penn
sylvania and his unswerving loyalty
to the State he represents—its big in
terests and its little interests—its Re
publican interests and its Democratic
interests —all interests and all classes.
"Surely, we would be very foolish
men if, knowing Senator Penrose as
we do, we were to fail to use our best
efforts to convey the information we
possess to other voters in the county
who may not know him so well and
who may have gotten a false impres
sion of him though the tireless tirades
of his personal enemies. Let us tell
j our Republican friends that if they
want a Sentor in Washington who can
lead for them, they must retain tho
Senator who is now leading for them
and has been leading for many years.
Newcomers in the United States Sen
•jate are required by precedent to take
a back seat, and it would be a long
I ('me before Dr. Dimmick or anyone
j else could possibly have the prestige
[and influence which Senator Penrose
(possesses and which Pennsylvania
hnust have.
"Let us stop playing with dynamite
and get together behind the Repub
lican party with an earnestness and
an enthusiasm which will prove us
worthy of the reputation we earned

MAY WE ENDED
[Continued From First Page]
from apprehension, more personal lib
erty, and a larger measure of pros
perity owing to the influx of American
money, than they have known in many
years. Many even assert that they
would cheerfully subscribe to any pol
icy of the United States which would
insure them a continuation of the
present conditions and the extension
of these conditions to the rest of the
republic.
Many Factions in Mexico
Some careful observers among the
Mexicans, however, take a pessimistic
view and do not believe that anything
short of complete American occupa
tion of Mexico would bring about these
desired results. They point out that
many factions arc striving for power
in various sections of the republic.
The entire State of Morelos is abso
lutely controlled by the followers of
Zapata, while the State of Guerrero is
under the jurisdiction of the Figueroa
brothers; furthermore, northern Mex
ico, much of the western coast and
isolated points elsewhere, such us
Tamplco, are controlled or hemmed
in by the supporters of Carranza and
Villa. In the capital Provisional
President Iluerta is in the saddle, but
strong factions favoring Carranza,
Felix Diaz, or some other aspirant to
the presidency, are intriguing against
Huerta and each other. Zapata and
the Figueroa brothers have been run
ning things in the country they control
without regard to any claims of a cen
tral power. Such States are virtually
independent principalities within the
borders of the distracted republic.
This statement of general conditions
is made by Mexicans to support the
idea that complete American occupa
tion is the only thing that will bring
lasting peace.
Fndorse Occupation Idea
There is also an clement of Mexi
cans and American refugees now in
Vera Cruz who express doubt that the
mediation undertaken by Argentina,
Brazil and Chile, or similar negotia
tions, will bring about a stable coali
tion of the warring factions in the
republic or result in the re-establish
ment of order. They are of the opin
ion personal Jealousies would pre
vent th selection of any leader to rep
resent them all, and they unhesitating
ly declare that, in their opinion, ambi
tion and not patriotism actuates a
great majority of the Mexican fac
tionists.
It Is apparent that local opinion of
the future is most conflicting. Another
idea presented to-day by thoughtful
Mexicans is that the only solution of
the problem lies In a partial occupa
tion of Mexico by the United States
and the establishment under American
protection of a government similar to
the one formed in Nicaragua, which
would later be succeeded by duly
elected Mexican officers, the Ameri
cans supervising the elections and
vouching for their fairness. The Idea
is receiving considerable endorsement
from a group of Mexican officials who
have remained in the city.
The American authorities, civil,
naval anil army, arc making every ef
fort to disseminate throughout the re
public truthful pictures of the benevo
l<?n: rul>' already established in Vera
There is reason to believe also
that Washington is quietly working
lo this saint- end through military and
civil agents sent here to talk things
over with representative Mexicans.
These agents have been selected tor
their knowledge of the Spanish lan
guage and their familiarity with Mex
ico and the Mexicans, and they are
said to be making every effort to make
plain the disinterested motives of the
Washington Administration as well as
its firm resolve that order be restored
and a stable government erected.
Close study of the local situation leads
to the belief that, by delaying any con
templated extension of military opera
tions. the Washington government
feels there is a probability that armed
resistance may be eliminated to a
measureble degree and countless lives
saved. This is thought to be the pur- i
pose of the effort to scatter broadcast i
through the territory toward Mexico j
City, and send into the cap.tal itself, i
a full account, not only of the kindly j
treatment given Mexicans here, but
also of the number, effectiveness and j
complete equipment of the army and ,
navy forces now employed in Vera |
Cruz, and their readiness for further
use of required.
Power Will Soon Leave
Mexican residents of Vera Cruz were
free to express to-day their conviction
that the continuation in power of Pro
visional President Huerta is a matter
of only weeks at most. With tlffc |
sources of large revenue cut off here
and on the western coast, and Tam- |
pico isolated and likely to fall into the I
hands of the Constitutionalists any j
day, they believe that General Huerta!
would welcome a development in the
situation which would afford him an
opportunity for escape without loss of
dignity. This idea, however, is purely
speculation, as no Mexican here claims
to know anything of General Huerta's
plans or hopes. If General Huerta
should abdicate, or be ousted from
office by Carranza and Villa, there is
a strong belief in Vera Cruz that the
United States probably would feel
obliged to permit the Constitutional
ists to make every effort to re-estab
lish a government That the rebels
are competent to do this, a majority
of local Mexicans do not believe, and
they are to-day expressing the opinion
that the United States will continue in
possession of Vera Cruz; they fear
that departure now would mean ulti
mate return in order to complete the
work by advancing on Mexico City.
Huerta Losing Ground
in Mexican Capital
Special to 7he Telegraph
Vera Cruz, May I. According to
confidential advices received here to
day, sentiment In Mexico City Is turn
ing against Huerta, who is said to be
considering fight. Officials here de
cline to discuss the possibility of the
dictator coming to this city.
The commander of the French war
ship Conde received word to-day that
San Luis Potosl had fallen into the
hands of the rebels and that Huerta's
position was desperate.
The same source also alleged that
Huerta was seizing the contents of sa
loons so as to obtain a supply of rum
for his soldiers, and by keeping them
theoretically happy retain their adher
ence.
Huerta's friends fear that hla end
will come with the approach of the
rebels to the capital and that he will
meet a fate similar to that of II&-
dero.
The French consul, 3. Brouzat, to
day conferred with General Maa» and
arranged for a special train on Fri
day to Mexico City, flying the French
flag. The consul goes on an import
ant secret mission. Two British sub
jects, H. V. Blake and Stephen Bett

Flower Refrigeration
Made Possible by Means
of Electrical Currents
In England extensive use Is made of
electrical refrigeration to enable cer
tain flowers to be kept ready for table
use all the year around. When the
"crowns" of the lilies, as they are
called, are just beginning to shoot, the
plants are taken out of the ground
and placed in cold storage. The ef
fect of the low temperature is to re
tard the development of the plan with
out injurying it. After being removed
from the low temperature plants are
placed In the ground out of doors,
when tile season is favorable, and
when not, in soil in ordinary pots in
the greenhouse, or in moss in vaßes. In
any case the plants bloom in from
three weeks to a month from the time
of being taken out of cold storage.
A number of other plants, including
lilium auratum and lillum lancifolium,
can also be kept in cold storage and
taken out when required. It will thus
bo seen that it is only a question of
arranging an advance schedule in order
to have any of these plants that can
be cold-stored in bloom at any time
of the year.
In addition to the foregoing the
florist adopting cold storage has at
his command a method of retarding the
blooming of plants in actual growth.
Hy placing them In cold storage for a
little while the development of the
plant is retarded, and they can be
brought out again before the occasion
for which they are required and al
lowed to finish their blooming.—Elec

HI TO DARKEN IE
Grandma Kept Her locks Dark,
Glossy, Thick With a Mixture of
Sage Tea and Sulphur
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mother's treatment, and folks are
again using it to keep their hair a
good, even color, which is quite sen
sible, as we are living in an age when
a youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
i product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy" fi»v, about 50 cents
I a bottle. It is very popular because
nobody can discover it has been ap
plied. Simply moisten your comb or
a soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, but what delights the
ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
is that, besides beautifully darkening
the hair after a few applications, it
also produces that soft luster and ap
pearance of abundance which is so
attractive: besides, prevents dandruff,
itching scalp and falling hair.—Adver
