CLASTER THE NEW HOME OK THE MECHANICS TRUST COMPANY V WILLIAM PEARSON FRANK PAYNE » KUNKEL BUILDING, THIRD AND MARKET STREETS J. H. TROUP V- -Jj "WATCHERS" ABE IN GALA ARRAY about the polls It was the topic of conversation over and above the tense ness of the battle of the McCormiek henchmen to hold Harrisburg for the Little Boss. "Hold the Home Town" The McCormiek campaign managers had secured the services of more "watchers" than ever known before and each one was infused with the desperateness of the situation and told to make his slogan "Hold the home town." Every effort will be made by the army of "watchers" to keep H&r risburg in the McCormiek column and similar efforts are being made in Steelton. The stay-at-home Democratic voter who happens to be enrolled will prob ably find his door bell pulled out by the roots to-night if he does not go to the polls. "Watchers" were scurry ing around at noon in a manner that ordinarily appertains to the strenuous work after 6 p. m. and men who had not made up their minds were being waylaid by "watchers," badgered by McCormiek watchers, belabored with arguments and showered with lit erature. . It waa a case of "Hold the home town." It .van Men Busy It must not for one minute be im agined that the Ryan adherents were one bit less active than the followers ot McCormiek. They were on the job when the polls opened and in some c ases actually had more "watchers" than McCormiek, which is saying something, and the Ryan "watchers' were just as persistent and as ener getic as those who wore the reorgan ization colors. They were beni on tak ing "the home town" away from McCormiek anil were working with a ginger that made the contest well worth watching. Democrats were actually hustled to the polls before they got through their breakfast and the Ryan men raced McCormiek rooters to the homes of doubtful Democrats. It's a good thing that the enrollment act is working, if voting of Democratic ballots was not restricted to men enrolled as Demo crats there might be some swell total votes to-night. But we can't go Into those Impossibilities. The tight wns to get the fellows who are enrolled. It at sundown there will be any en titled to mark a ballot and deposit it in a box tinder the eye of the ludge of election who have not exercised the inalienable, priceless, precious, Inher ent right of a Democrat to soak the man whom he does not like, it will not be the fault of "watchers." Busy in the County Out in the rural districts of Dauphin county and in those portions of Perry, Lebanon, York and Cumberland where farmers do most inhabit there were men acting as "watchers" who had never done that yeoman duty before. They stood around like greenhorns until the local bosses got busy and chased them to distant farms, where they stood at the fences or followed the seeders and rollers where farmers ■at enthroned in triumphant, if late agricultural progress and begged them fo come out and vote. Tf half a dozen districts in the i county th«re were several Democratic "wjti-hW where ordinnrilv it been hard work to get a dozen Demo cratic voters to forsake plow and har- TUESDAY EVENING, row, let alone one to sit around and bold a window book. Some powerful force appeared to have galvanized city and rural Democrats alke to-day. They were all adherents of the policy of "watching," but they were not "waiting" for voters. They were drag ging them in. Fanners Not Voting Telephone messages received in this city from Perry, Juniata, Snyder, Cum berland and York counties indicate that hundreds of farmers will not go to the polls to-day. Owing to the cool weather, many farmers are away be hind in their work and fields have, not been seeded. Whole families are work ing in the fields to catch ,up with the ordinary spring operations and efforts to get farmers and their sons to go to the polls have been reported as of no use. In parts of Dauphin county where the bulk of the enrollment is of farm ers the vote is very light. Many farm ers did not enroll at all and those who did are staying away because of their work. Men who follow politics say that if the same conditions prevail "in other counties with a large rural population the vote will run far below the enroll ment and may upset some calculations on results. Assistance Blanks About. But there were other interesting phases to the primary election than the multiplicity of "watchers" for the Democratic chieftains. They were a delight to the eye when they were act ing, but owing to their number liable to block the sidewalks, when not occu pied. Every now and then some one would dart in with some story that would cause a scattering of the cour iers. The McCormiek people were in a pepperjlg most of the day over fears of "last cards." One of the interesting incidents was the demand for "assistance blanks" which swept over the city about noon, t There were a score or so of these [blanks, which enables a man to make [affidavit that he needs help to mark this ballot, placed in each bunch of supplies. No one for an instant imag ined that there would be such Demo cratic activity and the extra blanks were in demand. ft is a fine day and the voters in the city and many urban dwellers are vot ing, but in the country It's a case of starting the crops. Interest In Candidates. It has been so long since Harrisburg has had any state candidates that it was hardly accustomed to the idea of having three. President Judge Kun kel, candidate for supreme court, who has been backed by men of every party for that nomination, is getting a great vote, the attempts started on Market Square to get support for End- Ucii having reacted. The judge voted at the Hope englnehouse, the polling place of the Second precinct of the Fourth ward, and was greeted by many friends. Messages from over the state to his friends told of voting for him being heavy. In the First precinct of the Fourth ward McCormiek voted No. 83. A few hours later William K. Meyers, candidate for Democratic nomination for Congress-at-large, who is aligned with the Ryan forces against the ma chine, voted at the same voting place. Scrap for Empty Honors. Backed by the Pa-Mc League Charles S. Prizer, the Middletown single taxer, is waging a fight in the city and boroughs of the three counties of this congressional district against D. L. Kaufman, who Is strongest in the countryside than in the towns. Kaufman won in 1912 be cause he got the farmers, hilt this vear the frniei-K are busy. No matter which' one wing Congressman Krcider, who Is unopposed for Republican renomina-l tion, will just walk away with the elec tion. A monkey and parrot light is being waged In the city for the two Demo cratic nominations for the legislature. Jesse Jobhunting Lybarger, is again a cundidate. John A. Marshall, ('aider B. Sham mo and S. T. Kinsinger are likewise running. Dybarger is the ma chine candidate and the other three are working 011 their own hook, keep ing a keen lookout for any signs of the "double cross." Nonpartisan—Not To-Day. llarrisburg's nonpartisan mayor, John K. Royal, was playing partisan politics to-day. He is a candidate for Democratic state committeeman and was hunting votes. Part of the time he sat In at the voting place of the First precinct of the ward, holding a book just like* he used to do iin days before he entered nonparti san office. The scrap between the factions of the Democratic party for control of the state machine is reflected in the tight for the two Democratic state committee seats from Dauphin county. Royal and Herr Moeslein, the county chairman, are the machine candidates | and Howard O. Holstein. the city | chairman, and I. J. Brenner are the | men fighting them. In the county out | side of the city little interest was he | ing taken in the state committee fight except by postmasters and prospec | tive and hopeful postmasters. The j county has no candidates and is ap- I parently letting the city Democrats 'claw each other over the honors. Republicans Doing Well. Without any particular effort the Republicans are polling a big vote. Senator Penrose's visit here last night lined up many people for him and he , will get a whaling vote In Harrisburg land Dauphin county. The Dimmlck I strength did not appear to amount to I much to-day. The candidates for the Republican nominations for the legislature in the city, Wildman and Swartz are not op posed and were polling a good vote. In the county the three-cornered tight between Nissley, Young and Gordo for the Republican legislative honors attracted some attention. This city will have a tine Republican vote in spite of the quiet condition of the campaign. Great consternation was caused In the Palmer-McCormick camp late yes terday afternoon by the arrival of a special political edition of Hearst's New York Journal containing a ter-1 rifle broadside aghinst President Wil son's Interference in the first state wide primary and his insistence upon the nomination of the White House twins—Palmer and McCormiek. Sec retary Bryan was assailed for coming I to the support of two candidates who! had bolted him as the Democratic I nominee for President in two cam paigns. It was declared by the Journal that the President's course was certain to defeat the Democratic ticket. "What possible difference," asks the Journal In an editorial, "Is there between the old system of having a boss tell the Legislature what Senator to elect and having the nation's chief official and his political organization select the man and tell the citizens to run along and endorse the selection? In either case the effect is to take from the peo ple as a whole the right to freely and without Interference name the men who represent them In the highest legislative body they know." It is further contended by the Jour nal that the picking of two candidates and placing upon them the hurden of the administration policies in a state which Is already suffering tinder a free trade tariff, imposed by the ad ministration, dooms them to defeat.
