INCOMPLETE returns of yester day's primary election through out Pennsylvania indicate a tre mendous trend toward the Re publican party and a significant pur pose on the part of the voters gener ally to restore the government to safe and sane control. Notwithstanding the factional uproar in the Democratic party in this State the total vote cast for the candidates of that party was so small as compared with the Repub lican figures that there ought to be little room for argument as to the lesson of the day. Notwithstanding the quiet campaign of the Republican party, Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the popular Republican nominee for Governor, makes such a formidable showing in the figures as to indicate an overwhelming victory for the distinguished educator and executive in November. Senator Penrose has likewise dem onstrated such inherent strength as an advocate of Republican principles in every part of the State that his selec tion over President Wilson's hand picked favorite is indicated by a large majority. It is too early to analyze the vote, hut there are some significant straws in the early returns. Senator Penrose, for instance, in the town of Bloss burg, the home of Secretary of Labor Wilson, whose attempted whitewash of the labor record of the Democratic nominee for Governor is resented by organized labor throughout the State, carried the town three to one over Mr. From all over the State cotuKthe same story and the conclu sion's inescapable that the trend of the voting indicates deep-seated an tagonism to a further continuance of Democratic experimenting at Wash ington. This is further shown in the magni ficent vote given Congressman Kreider in this district AVhile he hail no op position in his own party, ho was nevertheless given a vote larger than that of any other candidate on a par tisan ticket as a protest against the free trade Congress and as a personal tribute of appreciation for his own stalwart services in the cause of pro lection and prosperity. Of course, President Judge Kunkel leads the procession in Dauphin county by an almost unanimous vote for the Supreme Court that is as com plimentary as it is deserved. Thou sands upon thousands of thoughtful men have placed their seal of approval upon his fine record as a jurist and while it is not possible at this hour to determine the result of the campaign for the higher court it is certain that his friends here and elsewhere have nothing to regret in the primary con test. While all his fHends did every thing within their power to promote his candidacy it is only fair to say that the burden of the campaign manage ment fell upon District Attorney M. E. Stroup and John R. Geyer, one of the well-known lawyers of the local bar. These two men were splendidly sup ported by lawyers and laymen, but the intelligent, aggressive and inspiring campaign was a direct result of the line head-work and energetic direction given the canvass by Messrs. Geyer and Stroup, with the able and ener getic support of Senator Beidleman. During the day the missing figures will doubtless be received, but enough is known at this writing to indicate the substantial rehabilitation of the Republican party in Central Pennsyl vania and throughout the Common wealth. No matter what may be said as to personalities in the preliminary canvass, the fact is self-evident that the voters, without very much regard to previous party affiliations, are de termined to deal a sledge-hammer blow at the experimental and misfit administration now in power at Wash ington. Those candidates in Penn sylvania who have pinned their faith und their hope of success upon Presi dent Wilson's favor will discover, if they have not already done so, that they are leaning upon a broken reed. Republicans have come back home ind that means a sweeping victory for the party/3 candidates next November. WEDNESDAY EVENING CHANCE FOR KKDHELI). SECRETARY REDFI ELD'S nice little plan to compel industrial plants to keep running at the risk of an administration investigation is now threatened by Federal officials in the case of the Ford automobile plant where a few thousand men have been furloughed. It is intimated from Washington that the layoff might be found to be only an artificial slap at the Administration's business policies. The Ford officials point out that any such view is erroneous, asserting that the laying off of men was nothing out of the ordinary for this season of the year and that It should not be taken as an Indication of general business conditions. But the manufacturer and business man who dares manage his business contrary to administration theories is in grave danger of the gibbet. There is a strong undercurrent to-day in favor of an antl-Demo rratic coalition to be effected by the next presidential election, but such coalition is only possible on the basis of the Progressive plat form. Coming from such a Progressive leader as Franklin Spencer Edmonds, the Philadelphia reformor and candi date for the State Senate, this state ment has unusual significance, espec ially when it is considered in connec tion with the recently quoted observa tion of Colonel Roosevelt that he would become a candidate for the Republican nomination for President only on con dition that he ran on a progressive platform. The anti-Democratic senti ment Is stronger to-day than It was yesterday, and it is going to be stronger to-morrow than it was to day. It is not going to be a question of Republican hair-splitting on per sonalities, but it is going to be a solid alignment of the anti-Democratic forces under one banner—the banner of the party of protection and pros perity. BETRAYAL OF UNCLE SAM PRESIDENT WILSON is going to force through the Senate, as he forced through the House the repeal of that part of the Pana ma Canal act exempting American coastwise shipping from the payment of tolls. It matters not that eminent lawyers have declared there is no vio lation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in this exemption or that a great public protest has swept over the country against such action. President Wil son wants the clause repealed and those who believe that all the wisdom of the ages resides within his person ality are urging the repeal. United States Senator O'Gorman, of New York, declared the other day, re ferring to the Baltimore declaration, that "a platform pledge is either the plighted word of men of honor or a shifting, dishonest, unconscionable prete ise to mislead a confiding elec torate." "Those who seek to justify the be trayal of party pledges," said Senator O'Gorman, "must invent an excuse or openly confess that the declaration of principles adopted at the Baltimore convention was a mere sham to be used only for the purpose of deceiving the American electorate and not for the purpose of being redeemed hon estly." Senator O'Gorman, who is chair man of- the lnteroceanic Canal com mittee, further denounced the pro posed repeal in these words: When we talk of national honor we may be suspected of insincerity if we do not recognize that a vio lated party pledge is the rankest kind of political perfidy. We surely owe at least the same good faith to the American people that we profess to feel for a foreign na tion. The American people, not the British Government, restored the Democratic party to power, and if we retain power it will be by tile favor ami confidence of the Amer ican people and not by the grace of Great Britain. , Is the Democratic party prepared to confess itself guilty of a be trayal of a public trust? Will it admit to tho country that it se cured office by false pretense? What confidence can the people have in such a party so devoid of respect for its own pledges? We secured ofiire under a solemn promise to the American people, which we are now asked to re pudiate. In his vigorous denunciation of the President's proposal, the New York senator has put into concrete form the growing sentiment at Washington against the tyranny of the White House. "Reason, common sense, jus tice and patriotism alike cry out and condemn it. The American people will never consent to it," was the final con clusion of Senator O'Gorman. PSYCHOLOGIST AT LARGE AGAIN. PSYCHOLOGY is at present a pseudo-science. But there Is reason to believe that as astrol ogy yielded to chemistry so the science of the mind will some day evolve a substantial basis. At present it is the plaything of every "learned" fellow with a hobby. Using psychology as his mask, the fool professor has broken loose again. As usual he calls Chicago his habita tion. "Read this sentence slowly," he says. "A little dog with brown curly hair ran up the street, lie had long legs and a short tail. Now repeat it. if you can't do so correctly you are men tally deficient. You are a 'moron,' " according to the highbrow professor. For instance, if you say the dog had curly legs and ran down the street your mental apparatus is not working prop erly. This interesting experiment was tried on a group of fairly successful men the other day and only a couple out of a dozen repeated the sentence correctly. Yet we venture to say that they could nearly all beat the profes sor to chips in the everyday business game. The latest addition to our gallery of psychologists forgets that the abil ity to repeat a sentence of this kind la simply an indication of a quick mem ory. A child's memory is more active than a man's. Possibly a normal child should be able to pass this test, but when a grown man of ordinarily suc cessful attainments falls to do so It Is lust an indication that his mind has been trained in another direction or that his thoughts are concentrated on [more periods bufliaesa. , 1 EVENING CHAT 1 Without taking into consideration the amounts of money expended by the hundreds of men who sought nominations yesterday it is safe to say that the cost to the public of the pri mary elections held yesterday was close to half a million dollars. There will be no way of estimating the cost for months to come, as the bills must bo to the Auditor General afteV bein* paid by county commissioners and generally fare badly at the Capitol, Some of the bills for 1912 have just been settled and the 1913 list of bills Is not finished. Two years ago Iho primary cost about $400,000 and there was not nearly as much required as in the present elections under the general primary and the nonpartisan primary acts of 1913. Practically the whole cost on the State, and as the pay of election officers has been increased and more printing required it looks as though there would be a dent made in the State balance. Under the. law every person who ran as a candidate at yesterday's election must file a statement of his expenditures by Wednesday. June 3. The law is very plain on this subject, requiring a full statement of all money spent, of con tributions to committees and of ex penditures by such committees. What the total of expense accounts will be no one can tell. More men are before tho people for state-wide offices than ever known under the old convention system and there will be interesting documents filed at tho Capitol before long. ■ Driving a cow along a city street is something rather difficult at dawn when there is not much traffic, but, given the middle of a morning with a good hot sun working, a street with a double track and the usual number of cars moving, several automobiles and a steam roller working on new asphalt, and there is a combination that would make an experienced drover sigh for solitude. Yesterday morning a man tried to lead a cow in Derry street in the vicinity of Seventeenth and Eighteenth. He encountered each of the above-named objects in a block. He gave up trying to lead and started to drive. With the assistance of half a dozen laborers, who hurrahed and waved shovels and rakes, and of the steam roller man, who shrieked his whistle, the cow was gotten moved two blocks. And she went on the sidewalk all the way. A good many people yesterday "passed up" the nonpartisan ballot through sheer ignorance. Although it has been the most written about of all the election innovations in the last eighteen months or so, many do not understand it, and election voting places were strewn with unused non partisan ballots. It appears that voters were afraid to make a blunder and did not mark to avoid the risk. Harrisburg people are following with a great deal of interest the de velopments in the selection of the moderator of the general assemblv of the Presbyterian Church of the United States, as the man who presides over the highest council of the great de nomination in the northern states is known. It happens that one of the men who is ardently advocated is the Rev. Dr. George B. Stewart, former pastor of Market Square Church and now president of Auburn Theological Seminary, at Auburn, N. Y. The selec tion will be made at the one hundred and twenty-sixth annual general as sembly, which begins in Chicago on May 26. The Rev. Dr. Maitland Alex ander. of Pittsburgh, is also being mentioned. Just now some of the greatest floral displays to be found in many miles are to be seen in some of the back yards of Harrisburg and in some of tht» farmyard gardens in this section. They are of the real old-fashioned flowers and the blue iris is the queen of them all. The "flag," as it is popu larly known, is just now in its glorv and the blue variety, which is famous the world over, is attracting even more attention than the white and striped varieties. The canoeing season lias had a hard time getting started on the Susque hanna because of the high water which has prevailed for several weeks and It ts rather surprising that the river has been as irregular as it is in the present month. Half a dozen times young men have started out for trips" in canoes and found that currents are strong and contrary as well ns slightly differ ent from last year. The Siisquehann* currents are largely governed by the deposits and objects in Its bed and as the sand and coal is moved around a good bit every spring the river has to be observed afresh. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE 1 —Judge Mayer Sulzberger, of Phila delphia. has criticised the method of conducting Philadelphia's "vice squad." —Frank S.

NEWS DISPATCHES OF THE CIVIL WAR [From the Telegraph of May 20, 1864] TRY IT) FOOL REUS. Bermuda Hundred, May 18.—All quiet with our army today. The ob ject of the demonstration on Fort Dar ling was merely to draw off and en tertain as many of Lee's troops as pos sible; also to attract the attention of all the rebel forces in and about Rich mond, to enable General Kautz to de stroy the communication south of Richmond. OUR LINES ADVANCE. Washington, May 19, 11.20 P. M.— Advices from headquarters of the army up to 10 o'clock this morning state that the battle of yesterday had not been renewed up to that date. Our lines had been slowly but steadily ad vanced upon the erlemy. BUSINESS MAY HAVE A CHANCE; [From the New York Sun] It Is whispered in Washington that the Administration has at last decided to let business have a chance to adjust Itself to the now conditions created by the tariff and hanking laws. The House caucus program, which includes the passage of the anti-trust and appro priation bills, Is not necessarily the legislative program of the Senate. The appropriation bills must be passed, for the government needs the monev. But the House is to devote Its attention to the anti-trust bills as a guarantee of its good faith with the enemies of big business, but with no expectation that i the Senato will enact them into laws. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OFFICIAL COUNT WILL BE DELAYED Big Ticket and Slow Methods Will Retard Forwarding of Figures to the State House COMMITTEES COME NEXT Parade Last Night Headed by Band Playing "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here" Attaches of the Department of the Secretary of the Commonwealth say that it will take a couple of weeks bo fore anyone will be in a position to give exact figures on the results of the primary election just held in this State. This is due to the fact that the returns to be filed at the Capitol must be official and the county commission ers or official returning boards will have to count thq votes cast for each p.arty. At a general election count the number of votes and candidates are the only things considered. In computing the primary results these two factors must be considered for each party and in addition for the nonpartisan ballot as well. The law requires the results to be filed at the Capitol where the com putation will be made. The first coun ties are generally Montour, Perry, Juniata, Snyder or one of the small ones in this vicinity. It is not believed that much over a dozen returns will be filed before the end of the week. The slowness of the computation of the returns of the primary election will probably hold up the holding of State committees the meetings of the Committees which are fixed for Likely to June 3 or thereabouts Be Held l T p under the act. It is believed that when the time comes for the call to go out that the chairmen will designate later days when the returns are complete and it can be ascertained who has been elected. The Republi can State committee was held up last year and the Democratic committee would have been held up too if it had been required to meet. It looks as though the State committees would meet in the middle of June. State Chairman Crow is being boomed for the place again although it is doubt ful if he wants it. Whether State Chairman Morris is re-elected will de pend upon which wing of the Democ racy controls the State committee of the Democrats. A. Nevin Detrich will be Washington chairman again. In spite of the fuss made for months over the primary elections the city went to bed early last night and tran quilly. Republican and Democratic parti- Maeliinists sans swarmed around Parade to their headquarters "Hail, hail. - ' and a band which tooted away for hours in front of the Pa triot office kept the crowd from going home until figures began to come in which encouraged the machine. Then things brightened up and there was talk of a parade. That was held off | until after 1 o'clock when enough was in hand to make claims worth while. And then with a bugle call the parti sans and the Pa-Mc Leaguers were called together and a parade was formed which marched to the home of McCormick and gave him a cheer. And in the march what do you think the band played? Our old friend, "Hail, hail, the Gang's All Here." It is now the official air of the Democratic ma chine. Results in the Carious contests for congressional nominations in this part of the state may not be known for a couple of days. Claims of the most conflicting na ture were made to-day Congress regarding the nomina- Battles tions in the Seventeenth Uncertain, and Twentieth districts. In the former friends of 13. K. Focht and P. L. Dershem claim their nominations to run against each other as in 1912, although the partisans of J. M. Yeager were in clined to be sanguine too. In the York Adams district it was claimed that Brodbeck had won and had won in his fight with Gitt.. Congress man Lee was renominated in the Schuylkill district and Arthur G. De walt, former Democratic state chair man, is probably the Democratic con gressional nominee in the Berks-Le high district. Telegrams received here to-day indi cated the great interest in other states in the result of the primary and the try out of tiie first state wide primary. In Wash- National ington and other cities Interest they were eager to find Is Shown. out how the Wilson slate went through but by far the greater inter est was taken in the fight of Senator Penrose for renomination. The tre mendous vote for Penrose, which has discouraged the Democrats already was asked about by New York papers! The general sweep for Brumbaugh has attracted much attention because everyone realizes that It means his election in November. 1 POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —Now to count up the cost. —The time for filing expense ac counts expires June 3. —lt means Brumbaugh in a canter next November. —Only McCormick's nomination was needed to make Brumbaugh sure. —Honestly, though, the scowls ought, to be taken off those faces on the Pa-Mc League banner now. —That Penrose vote will be a night mare to the Democratic machinists for many months to come. —Now the state committee will come to disturb our rest. —The period of the marching clubs is about due. —For a primary with big tickets the results were in comparatively early. —Friends of Dr. Brumbaugh sent him hearty congratulations to-day. —"Hail, hail" was last night adopted as the Democratic machine marching air.

(JOVKRNOR TUNER'S LITTLE STORY ["Girard" In Public Ledger] Governor Tener was watching a baseball game recently when Jim Thorpe, the Indian, made a particularly good play. That "reminded the presi dent of the National I-«eugue of this story: The Carlisle Indian School team was playing an up-State nine for which a newly-landed Irishman was covering third base. One of the Indians batted out a three-bagger, but dashed past the astonished player from the Emer ald Isle for a home run. When the cheers for the runner and the jeers for the third baseman had died out the latter said In language all the spectators could hear: "These darned furrlners are puttin' this game on the bum."

J —" —ii —" —ini —ii —ii —l, —ii—n TIIE HE Ali REASONS | [From the New York Sunl In his address upon the Mexican sit uation In Carnegie Hall on Sunday ex- President Taft. in accounting for the fact that "the prospect of war does not awaken general popular enthusiasm," said that it might lie due to a "growing love of peace as well as to the absence of those soul stirring issues" which arouse warlike enthusiasm." Our impression is that whether the love of peace for its own sake is grow ing among the American people or not—and we hope that it is—the rea sons they lack enthusiasm for a war with Mexico are practical and not in Hie least sentimental or idealistic. Those reasons may be briefly stated. The American people have always be lived that the policy of non-interven tion was fundamentally sound, and that there should never have been a de parture from it. They are of the opin ion that a moral issue should not have been made out of General lluerta's ac cession to the Presidency, and that Mr. Wilson would have been in a much stronger position if he had cited the Diaz precedent of 1577, and given Huerta a year to establish his govern ment and qualify for recognition, if he could. The American people are aware that Mr. Wilson has not adhered to his policy of non-Intervention in a spirit of strict neutrality, but has given countenance and aid to the Constitu tionalists and has permitted friendly negotiations with General Carranza and with General Villa, who lias never been v'eared of responsibility for the murdei* of Benton. The American people cannot understand even now whv the Hag saluting incident at Tampic'o provoked Mr. Wilson to send the fleet to Vera Cruz and seize the custom- house when outrages upon American citizens in Mexico wore borne with diplomatic philosophy. That the occu pation of any part of Vera Cruz was an act of war Americans generally be lieve, ami they do not doubt that a sa lute of the Hag at Tamplco could have been obtained from General Iluertiu And finally thoy do not see how a war of great sacrifices can be escaped now, although they have some faint hope or the success of mediation, to which Mr. Wilson turned as a last resort. For these reasons the American people feel no enthusiasm for another war with Mexico, and there is no 'soul stirring" issue in it for them, however the Mexicans may feel about it aa prospective defenders of their country. It may be added that the average Amer can does not see why the United States should engage in an altruistic war of service to Mexico and Mexicans that might cost the United States thousands of the lives of her citizens and would certainly cost American taxpayers hun dreds of millions of dollars, when tho country is not in a prosperous condi tion and needs rest and opportunities for industrial restoration.
