"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.
