VOTE FOR JUDGE KUNKEL j
TO-MORROW the voters of Penn
sylvania will nominate two can
didates for the Supreme Court
bench.
Judge Kunltel of Dauphin county,
is a candidate, as everybody through
out the State knows. Neighborhood
pride should lead every citizen of this
and surrounding counties to vote for
hiin. His record oil the bench is
known far and wide. He is the man
before whom the Capitol conspiracy
cases were tried and who upheld tho
constitutionality of tho "Full Crew"
law. lie has been a power for justice
upon the Dauphin county bench and
nothing but praise has been spoken
of his work since he was elevated to
the judgship eleven years ago.
That he is held in high esteem
abroad as well as at home is attested
by the tribute paid him by Frederic
W. Fleitz, of Scranton, former deputy
attorney general.. In yesterday's Phila
delphia Public Ledger, Mr. Fleitz said
in recommendation of the nomination
of Judge Kunkel:
I shall take pleasure in support
ing Judge Kunkel for the Supreme
Court, because of his intimate ac
quaintance with legislation and the
experience he has had for eleven •
years on the Common Pleas bench
of Dauphin county, where he has
constantly been trying cases of
large public interest, affecting the
people of the State generally and
involving the construction of con
stitutional and legislative ques
tions; then, too, he is a man in the
full physical and mental vigor of
middle age, with every reasonable
expectation of living to serve the
entire twenty-one years of the
tertn, and this I consider of great •
importance.
If the voters of the State were
furnished, through the medium of
the newspapers, with all the facts
necessary to form a correct judg
ment of the ability and character
of the candidates for high judicial
honors on the nonpartisan ballot I
am confident that they would exer
cise that judgment in a way that
would be for the best interests of the
Commonwealth, and such informa
tion ought to be made accessible
to them. I am not sure that a
straw vote of the members of the
State Bar Association will throw
much light on this question, as
some oT the ablest lawyers and best
judges of the Commonwealth are
too busy to attend bar association
meetings and become personally ac
quainted with those composing its
membership.
-Mr. Fleitz is a man of affair*. He
knows Pennsylvania and its needs. He
knows personally all the candidates
for the Supreme Court judgeship. His
judgment is all the more valuable be
cause he has appeared before Judge
Kunkel frequently as a representative
of the State and just as frequently in
behalf of the private citizen. He forms
his estimate of Judge Kunkel as a
candidate for the Supreme Court on
this broad knowledge of men and con
ditions.
Judge Kunkel will receive a big
vote abroad, as testimonials of this
kind indicate, but the biggest vote of
all should be given right here at home.
He should have every vote cast in
Dauphin county for Supreme Court
Judge.
The City Planning Commission will
doubtless get some valuable pointers at
the Toronto conference, and as all the
members have been invited to attend,
we can think of no occasion which
would result in greater benefit to the
city. This conference will bring into
touch men who have given years to the
study of questions involved in the im
provement of their municipalities, and
tbe new commission here should not
fail to learn «t first band what is being
done elsewhere.» Harrisburg Is already
a leader in municipal improvement and
under the admirable planning commis
sion. recently chosen, will go on its way
toward still better things.
A RAY OF HOPE
PROSPECTS of bumper crops this
year and a likelihood of relieving
the country of the incubus of a
Democratic Congress next No
vember furnish a ray of hope which
Is some encouragement to the dis
tracted business interests under pres
ent conditions.
Even the stupid persistence of an
administration hopeless in its hostile
attitude toward business cannot alto
gether destroy the confidence of the
people In the resources of the nation
*nd the recuperative power of Ameri
can industry.
Theoretical government and a the
oretical tariff have done their worst
and only a continuance of Democratic
tinkering and experimenting can
wholly destroy, the splendid structure
MONDAY EVENING,
of prosperity which was erected
through Republican administration
and the wholesome legislation of
statesmen who knew their job.
There Is a constantly rising: tide of
opposition to a further trial of the
party that has done Its utmost to
wreck the business and Industries of
the United States. Breaking faith
with the people and "with fatuous in
difference to all the principles which
should govern the conduct of a great
nation, the administration at Wash
ington has blundered on regardless of
consequences.
Men of all parties—business men,
working men, professional men—are
determined now that the power to do
further damage shall cease and unless
all the signs of the times are at fault
the Democratic party is about to feel
the heavy hand of public disapproval.
Assuming that President Wilson and
his advisers have proceeded along
honest lines, they have nevertheless
shown utter Incapacity for dealing
with the great pA>blems which are
incidental to the administration of a
great government. They have been
weighed in the balances and found
wanting.
Superintendent of Public Safety
Bowman has been so busy saving
money In all proper ways that he may
be excused for having overlooked a
large and unsightly mound of ashes
which destroys the beauty of the river
side of the pumping station.
CONGRESSMAN KRKIDER
LITTLE has been said in the cam
paign leading up to the prima
ries of the candidacy of Con
gressman Aaron S. Kreider for
renomlnation, principally because he
has no opposition. But the fact that
his nomination is certain should not
affect the size of the vote to be cast
for him.
Every Republican in Dauphin and
■ the two adjoining counties constitut
| ing the local congressional district
j should show their appreciation of the
excellent manner In which their inter
ests have been upheld at Washington
by Mr. Kreider.
Under most difficult circumstances
and in the face of an overwhelming
Democratic majority in the House he
has shown ability and resourcefulness
in meeting local needs and staunch
courage and Independence in standing
up for the best principles of Republi
canism. Ho will be re-elected in No
vember beyond doubt, but he should
be given a substantial party endorse
ment to-morrow.
What a fine showing was made by
the high school athletes at Island Park
on Saturday. And it must have been
very gratifying to Superintendent of
Parks Taylor that he was able to place
the track and the grounds in such line
shape for the great concourse of peo
ple which gathered to watch the events
of the meet. Much credit is due to him
for his activ'ty in this matter. .
THE ANTI-COLLAR LEAGUE
ALL Paris is excited over the
Anti-Collar League, which has
just been founded by Maurice
Verne, a well-known Parisian
journalist. The aim of the league is to
"incite people to rebellion against the
silly fashion of locking up their Adam's
apple in a prison of starch." Several
letters already have been published
from would-be members of the league
asking for particulars.
A letter published by Excelsior
voices the enthusiastic applause of a
group of Latin Quarter students. In
deed, the Latin Quarter is in uproar,
and everywhere arguments for or
against the idea may be heard. "The
collar is an excellent institution and
forces us to carry our heads high,"
one student writes. "Its various de
grees of cleanliness enable us to size
up a man. Tell me whether your col
lar is clean and I will tell you what
kind of a man you are."
A speaker before the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce told his audi
ence not long ago that we do not wear
stiff collars because we like them, but
because certain bright and insistent
gentlemen who are at the head of col
lar manufactories in Troy, X. Y., set
the fashion which we blindly follow.
That being the case, we sugegst that
there is urgent need of the presence
just now in Paris of one of the clever
publicity experts of the Troy firms
that have done such splendid service
in keeping the laundries alive in this
country.
Meanwhile Martin G. Brumbaugh, the
next Governor of Pennsylvania, is ad
dressing educational bodies and ex
hibiting in every public appearance his
high qualities and fitness for the dig
nified office which some noisy persons
are seeking with brass bands and the
throwing of much mud.
BACK TO THE PARTY
FROM many quarters comes the
cheering news of Republican har
mony and the get-together spirit.
All the bitterness of the 1912
campaign has disappeared and men of
both wings of the party are striving to
overcome any differences which would
[ prevent entire harmony of action in
I the campaign.
Even the most ent.huasiastic sup
porters of Colonel Roosevelt are show
ing a disposition to return to the party
colors. A significant story comes from
Washington to-day to the effect that
i plans are under way to bring about a
t harmony agreement that will reunite
I the Republican party and make Roose
velt the candidate two years hence.
Huerta is said to be ready to quit if
the United States will make It easy.
He must envy Porfirlo Diaz.
THE FAILURE OF GENIUS
EUROPEAN operatic critics are
mourning because Professor
Humperdlnck's new opera "The
Vivandiere" has failed to meas
ure up to expectations and some of
them forecast the decadance of Hum
perdlnck's unquestioned ability.
Every genius of the musical and
literary world has had his occasional
lapses. Dismal failures have frequent
ly been sandwiched between the bril-'
llant successes of many noted authors
and composers. It was not to be sup
posed that the creator of "Hansel and
Gretel" and "Konigsklnder" should he
able always to improve on those great
works or even approach thein In qual
lty. Indications are, at all events, that
the words set to the music of the
new grand opera are quite as much to
blame for Its failure as any lapse up
on the part of the composer.
A. Mitchell Palmer accuses his Demo
cratic factional opponents of mud
sllnglng. Isn't It possible that he has
been suffering from a flare-back on his
own side.
i EVENINCTCHAT I
Men who observe the trend of poll
tics and the working out of schemes
for registering the popular will are
looking forward to to-morrow's prl
| mary election in Pennsylvania with
| far more Interest than any similar
| election in a generation, not so much
| for the results of the contests for the
nominations or lor elections to seats
In party committees, but for the man
ner In which the new system works
out. To-morrow's election will furnish
the first State-wide direct primary for
the highest offices in the scheme of
government in the second greatest
State in the Union and the first pri
mary of any magnitude to be held at
this time in May. Interest in the
working out of the. election centers, of
course, in the expression of the popu
lar will, and for the tirst time, at least
In the life time of many men active
in affairs, wo have had candidates for
nominations touring the State with all
of the vigor and accompaniments of a
campaign immediately preceding a
general election. The strenuosities of
these contests have, moreover, cast
Into the shade even some of the dele
gate elections of the year that saw
Wilson elected President and Pennsyl
vania go for Roosevelt. The whole
country is watching Pennsylvania for
a practical try-out. of the direct pri
mary for United States Senator and
State officers, this State having the
second largest number of voters in the
Union and said voters having been
worked upon for months to get thein
interested enough to go out and mark
ballots. Other States are also watch
ing the manner in which the nonpar
tisan judicial law is tried again, the
results last year having been a sur
prise. Sister commonwealths are like
wise observing the manner of enforc
ing the enrollment act. And lastly,
Washington is watching for a sign of
the feeling of the great mass of Dem
ocratic voters toward the national ad
ministration, whose concern is shown
by the presence on the stump of three
Cabinet officers. In 1882 and 1890
Pennsylvania elected Democratic Gov
ernors and Democratic Presidents fol
lowed two years later. In 1886 and
1894 the State went Republican. What
happened in 1888 and 1896 is well re
membered. Now here Is a primary
system which offers a means of gaug
ing feeling within a party and a llrst
class family row to make the out
come still more a source of anxiety to
those along the Potomac and of In
terest to the nation.
William Maclay and Robert Morris
went to Congress with the very first
certificates of senatorial election that
the Commonwealth has given, but
when the members of the Assembly
were chosen there was nothing like
preferential primary and they were
elected largely on personal grounds.
Since then the senatorial togas from
the Keystone State have been in poli
tics. To-morrow, for the first time,
the people will nominate party can
didates for Senator and next Novem
ber they will elect them direct for the
first time. Only the six-year term re
mains of tlie original provisions for se
lection of Senators and it is a wonder
that escaped. So, for the first time
candidates for the United States sen
ators hip will be directly nominated
just like candidates for common coun
cilman used to be chosen in the
Fourth Ward and candidates of sev
eral parties for Governor, Lieutenant-
Governor and Secretary of Internal
Affairs will be selected in the same
primary election, thus doing away with
the old system of nominations by
State conventions as effectively as the
selection of a United Stales Senator
by the Legislature was abolished. It
is really an astonishing thing when
people of Harrisburg, the seat of so
many conventions and scene of so
many senatorial elections, think of it.
Methods of a hundred years, whose
results have been worked out in our
city, are done away with and we are all
down to the basis of a primary elec
tion. True, the election is now in the
hands of the State government and
the political parties have little to do
with it, but the fact remains that in
principle it is the old primary to which
we used to go around to vote on Sat
urday nights, only its scope has been
enlarged beyond what anyone expected
a decade ago, and a whole day is
given to it, and the same machinery
that records the freeman's will, etc.,
in November will voice the desire of
the adherents of party in the month
of May.
What adds to interest is that the
State will select four candidates in
each party for C6ngress-at -large in
addition to the thirty-two district
nominees. In this contest the same
unusual conditions prevail. In years
gone by nominations for Congress-at
iarge, which are the means whereby
the State gets its proper number of
seats while the problem of redisrict
ing to meet the census is worked out,
were conferred on willing workers or
as rewards for conspicuous party ser
vice or to add prestige, if needed. No
one recalls any very serious contests
for the nominations at State conven
tions. But here every party has a
field of candidates and the campaigns
are as wide as the State and, in some
instances, very vigorous.
What interests us most and interests
th» people of many counties, too, Is
the nomination of candidates for the
two appellate courts. In 1913 the
nonpartisan judicial selection act had
a unique test in the selection of two
Superior Court judges. This year men
will be chosen to one scat on each of
the higher courts. Thief Justice Fell
will retire and we hope to see Presi
dent Judge George Kunkel elected his
successor. In the Kunkel campaign
the true nonpartisan spirit has been
shown, especially in the home county
of the candidate, the best guarantee
of his standing. On the Superior
bench Judge Frank M. Trexler comes
up for renomination, having been
named to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of General James A. Beaver.
In each case the two men receiving
the highest number of votes go on the
November ballot, unless a candidate
should receive 51 per cent, of the total
vote cast, in which event his name
will be the only one to go on the bal
lot. Friends of Judge Kunkel are
working to that end against a field of
well-known men, while those of Judge
Trexler, with the prestige of his place
and lack of serious opposition, are
striving earnestly to make him sole
nominee. The voter will vote for but
one candidate for Supreme Court and
for but one for Superior Court on the
nonpartisan primary ballot, and the
way to be sure is .to scan the ballot
and pick out the right man In each
■case and then mark.
Now as to the reference In the
opening paragraph to this time In
May. Ordinarily, primaries have been
held In April, or at least early in May.
This is a busy period In rural districts
and It is exceptionally so this year
because of the lateness of the season.
Many farmers will not vote at all and
th<* total of the vote may run far below
the registration and enrollment. Thus,
another angle from which to view the
results in Pennsylvania Is presented.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
MACHINE RATTLED
AS CAMPAIGN ENDS
Plain Little Claim of Victory For
Ryan Sends the Reorganiza
tion Organ Into Air
THE SLATE MAY BE BEATEN
Philadelphia Public Ledger Admits
Ryan Has a Chance; McCor
mick Men Busy Here
Probably the most strenuous cam
paign and certainly the noisiest, ever
waged for Democratic nominations
will close in Pennsylvania late to-night
and, true to its traditions, the Demo
cracy will celebrate the coming of
State-wide primaries by fighting al
most to the time the polls open to re
ceive the ballots. The remarkable
campaign of "vilification and abuse"
in which both the McCormlck and
Ryan factions have indulged, was in
full swing to-day and desperate ef
forts were being made by adherents
of the former mayor of Harrisburg to
hold this city and county in line. These
attempts were being watched with in
terest in view of the well-known po
sition taken by McCormick and his
newspaper against the use of money
in politics.
As far as claims go the McCorinick
people had the better of it in this
city to-day. There were some very
loud claims being made that McCor
mick would carry Harrisburg and
1,000 was the very lowest figure given.
As to the county some of the claims
made for the Little Boss were for ma
jorities considerably in excess of the
Democratic enrollment in all Dauphin
county and the whole Democratic reg
istration in Harrisburg. But a little
thing like that did not matter. The
Ryan people were also doing a few
stunt 3 in the claiming line, but did not
soar to the heights of the gay and
giddy partisans of McCormick. The
Democrats in this city to-day showed
that they realized that the eyes of
the State were on the State Capital
and were in fine fettle..
That singular Inability to recognize
that any one else has a right to think
or to express thoughts which has
characterized the Mc-
Cormick campaign and
Groon Gets its bugle blower from
a Goat on the day the White
Uie Square House slate was
launched was striking-
ly manifested to-day
when the McCormick people bubbled
over with wrath over a plain ordinary
campaign claim made by John J.
Green the campaign manager for
Ryan. Green simply went Palmer's
claim of 50,000 majority 10,000 better
and asserted that Ryan would carry
all but a few rural counties. He gave
Dauphin and Cumberland to Ryan
and the touchy mourning newspaper
of the reorganization cause proceeded
to berate him as though it feared
everyone would take what Green said
and disbelieve its own claims. Columns
wei devoted to-day to refuting
claims of various opponents of the
machine about certain counties and
tucked away in an obscure corner was
a dispatch which said that Secretary
of State Bryan, who had found time
to leave his desk in the crisis with
Mexico to butt into Pennsylvania poli
tics in behalf of the machine slate, was
unable to go to New York yesterday to
address a peace meeting.
It is interesting in view of the
claims made by "the McCormick peo
ple to read what is said by the Phila
delphia Public Ledger
in a round-up article
on the Democratic cam- Ledger
paign. The Ledger has Expresses
been advocating Mc- Doubts
Cormick in its editorial
columns and playing
up his campaign. Yet it has this to
say about the Harrisburger's chances
to-day and in a dispatch sent from
Harrisburg: "On the Democratic side
Vance McCormick is believed to have
more than a shade the best of the
running outside of Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh,- where the bulk of the
Democratic vote is cast. It may be
said, however, that the Ryan strength
is not confined wholly to the cities
named. The Public Ledger corre
spondent has traveled through more
than forty counties since the opening
of the primary campaign, and he has
discovered not a few Ryan partisans in j
such cities as Lancaster, Allentown,
Reading, Altoona, Wilkes-Barre and
Scranton. On the other hand, he has
found many reorganization Democrats
in these same centers. And a pre
ponderating McCormick element in
rural counties. The Budd strength for
United States Senator does not run
parallel with the Ryan strength for
governor. Ryan has a chance; Budd,
unless there are unseen silent forces
at work in his behalf, has none."
The contending Democratic faction
ists ended their speech-making Satur
day. The McCormick caravan wound
up in the Ryan strong
hold of Mahanoy City
Campaign and marked the end of
Thunder a tour of fifty-nine
Laid Away counties. Why the
other eight werel
slighted does not ap- j
pear. Congressman Palmer took oc
casion before he said farewell to make
a stinging reply to the attacks upon
him and to say that search of his af
fairs failed to show him guilty of any
thing which would make him ashamed
"Farmer" Creasy did not bother to
reply to what was said about him.
The Ryan aggregation stumped Phil
adelphia and made speeches in which
McCormick was frizzled. Some of
their speeches sounded like Patriot
editorials with the records reversed.
Washington dispatches speak high
ly of the speech of Michael J. Ryan
at the unveiling of the Barry statue
on Saturday. One story says: "Pres-1
ident Wilson applauded vigorously the
speech of City Solicitor Ryan, whose
eloquence won loud applause from the
great crowd. The President's ap
plause was conspicuous because of the
fact that it was so much more spirited
than that he had accorded any of the
other speakers."
Manifestly there is a difference of I
opinion among Democrats as to Presi
dent Wilson's real friends in Pennsyl
vania. Ryerson W. Jen
nings, a cousin of Secretary
Bryan. In a letter to the Macliliu-. I
Philadelphia Public Ledger Tactics i
says: Scored
"It would make a very
interesting political chapter
to know the arsninpnti u»ed to induce
Mr. Bryan to invade Pennsylvania In
behalf of an already discredited ma
chine. It can be inferred, however,
that misrepresentation, if not prevari
cation, was used for the puropse. * * *
"He has again been deceived by the
same men. because he laid particular
stress in his speech at Wilkes-Barre
that he waa in Pennsylvania to help
the inen who are upholding President
Wilson.
"President Wilson has no firmer
friends than the majortiy of the Demo
cratic party who are lighting; for honib
rule in their own State. Who made
President Wilson possible? William
Jennings Bryan. Who made Mr. Bryan
■ possible? The man who stood by him
|in rS9fi. Palmer did not, Guthrie did
I not, Kane did not, and hundreds of
others who are now hiding behind his
coattails. McCormick fought him al
ways, voting against him in 1900 and
working against him before the con
ventions that afterward nominated
him, going so far as calling him an
anarchist. Michael J. Ryan supported
Mr. Bryan in IS9O, in 1900, in 1908,
He knew a. man when he saw him.
j and a man who knows men is needed
! in Harrisburg, and is needed badly."
I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—John J. Green's prediction of 00,-
000 majority for Ryan appears to
have disturbed some people in Market
Square.
—Although the Patriot does call
Mayor Armstrong a Republican he
was elected on the nonpartisan bal
lot and many Democrats aligned with
the reorganization element in Pitts
burgh worked and voted for him.
—Evidently the Ledger does not
agree with the Patriot in estimates
on the result of to-morrow's Demo
cratic primary.
—So the campaign of vilification
and abuse is at an end according to a
certain morning newspaper.
—And we wonder what it all cost.
—Palmer's closing campaign speech
was about as warm as any made in
the campaigns. Dr. Shull's hot shot
must have penetrated.
—The campaign of vilification and
abuse however, appears to be still
under way on the editorial page of a
certain perturbed morning newspa
per.
—Calder Shammo made an error in
refusing to take the Patriot seriously.
But maybe—he could not.
—Up in Schuylkill they say Con
gressman Lee, opposed by reorganiz
es, will have more majority than his
opponent will have votes.
—Wildman and Swartz are taking it
easy just now.
—These are Jesse Lybarger's wild
days.
—Howard Holstein declines to agree
with the Royal-Moeslein predictions
of victory.

Will always grasp the chance
To learn how others run tlielr biz,

In working out his plan
May teach him something worth a heap
To run his business profitably
And make the most he can.
Therefore, the trip that will be made
To various towns this week,
As by the Chamber of Commerce

Is one members should seek
To take advantage of, because
They'll meet with great big men
In other towns, from whom they can
Perhaps learn much, and then —
They'll help to give this town a boost
Wherever they may go,
And folks in other towns may think
This burg is the whole show. i

The corporations have been forced
by the stress of the battle to crawl out
of the shell of secretlveness in which
they had been hidden, and to take
their stockhodders and even the public
into their confidence. No longer is
the man in the street a despised out
sider, entitled to no information. On
the contrary, he is now the recognized
partner in corporate enterprise, to the
extent that he is part of the people
from which the corporation obtains its
right to exist and do business.

BRYAN AND WILSON IX MEXICO
[Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
V eracity seems not to be Huerta's
chief attribute. Men of all nationali
ties have been fighting under Villa,
soldiers of fortune from Germany,
England, France, Italy and the United
States. It may even Be that some of
them woro discarded American uni
forms. The assumption, however, that
any American regular troops fought at
Torreon is too preposterous to admit
of serious comment.
Huerta touches a sore spot, how
ever. when he declares that "auxiliary
| services, hospital trains, everything
has been supplied by the Americans
to the rebels." They have; that is
what the lifting of the embargo meailt,
but the supplies came not from the
American government, but from Ameri
can dealers. Our Secretary of State
has boasted in his personal periodical
that the administration's policy in lift
ing the embargo made the victory at
Torreon possible. The Villa movement
did not become formidable until our
arsenals were opened to it. We rec
ognized the Constitutionalists, in effect,
as belligerents.
It is, it appears, the avowed policy
of the administration now to extricate
itself from the Mexican muddle
through the success of the Consti
tutionalists. They have the moral sup
| port of the government. Every victory
they achieve is hailed with delight in
Washington. They are expected to
drive Huerta out and save us from
that duty. Our policy is essentially
based on the physical power of Villa's
army. The Constitutionalists are amplv
provided with the munitions of war
our diplomacy and our fleet deprive
Huerta of all supplies. The contest is
thus made one-sided and the ultimate
downfall of tho dictator is assured.

McCORMICK AND IMPROVEMENTS
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Dear Sir: Perusing an article in The
Patriot to-day I see that Vance C. Mc
cormick "while he was Mayor gave the
city clear water in place of foul." It is
my belief that the filter plant did not
furnish any filtered water until October
21, 1905, which was after McCormick
had left the office of Mayor. If I am
wrong in this fact I shall be glad to be
corrected. Q q
SENTIMENTS VS. SENTIMENTALITY
[From the Altoona Times.]
We have no fault to find with the cus
tom of wearing a flower in honor of the
mothers of the nation. "We cannot pav
them too much reverence. But we can
show our appreciation in a more tan
gible manner. Instead of waiting until
they have departed from this vale of
tears, their untimely end being hasten
ed in too many instances by deadening
drudgery, it should be our purpose to
lighten their burdens. Helief from manv
household duties that may be performed
by sons and daughters—and by hus
bands, as well—will, we are «ure he
more appreciated by mothers than'the
wearing of the most beautiful flowers.
