MONDAY EVENING. MAY 25
PENNSYLVANIA THE ARENA
WITH the ponderous emphasis
of an oracle, A. Mitchell Pal
mer announces that Pennsyl
vania is to be the arena in
which will be decided this year the
future of three great national political
parties. Mr. Palmer also declares
that the "Democrats cannot and will
not merge their principles with the
policies of the Washington party" and
that fusion is impossible. All this
sounds like the whistling of a boy In
a dark alley to keep up his courage.
Palmer knows that there is no hope
of his party's amalgamation with the
Washington party in Pennsylvania and
he seeks to make capital for himself
by declaring against fusion, knowing
that fusion is impossible.
As to Pennsylvania being the battle
ground for the three political parties,
the wish is manifestly father of the
thought. The Democratic bosses hope
by a further division of the Republi
can strength this year to achieve an
other victory which cannot be won un
der any other conditions. Mr. Palmer
declares that the fight is between the
two wings of the Republican party
and he would have it appear that the
defeat of one faction would mean the
supremacy of the other in 1916.
It is perfectly clear In this early
period of the campaign that the Dem
ocrats of Pennsylvania are building
nil their hopes of success upon the
breaking down of the Republican
strength in order to make possible
the success of the White House ticket.
If Pennsylvania is to be the arena
for a test of the principles for which
the three parties as now constituted
stand, then no better arena could have
been selected. This great State has
been developed through the Republi
can policy of protection to home In
dustries, and there could be no better
place for a final test of the proposition
that American labor and American
manufacturing interests Bhall be pro
tected against the cheap labor of Eu
rope and a Democratic free-trade
policy. It may be well to determine
that question for all time, and we
may as well know now aB hereafter
whether tho workingmen of Penn
sylvania prefer the theories of the
Democratic party to the established
and approved policies of the Repub
lican party.
Colonel may not

his and per
sonal
to further divide Republican
forces. There is afSlHfnct trend back
to the Republican party, and no mqpe
spectacular appeal will W j n
Republicans to tho sup'ilpj* candi
dates and policies opposecWoHhe Re
publican party.
It ought to be a clear-cut issue and
the leaders of the Republican party
should recognize at once the import
ance of thorough organization and a
vigorous campaign. If the Republican
party Is to be attacked from two
angles, let the forces of protection be
prepared for the assault. Even Colonel
Roosevelt must have discovered that
there Is no, hope whatever for the
election of Mr. Pinchot and Dean
Lewis in this State. Whatever support
they may receive will be a reduction
of the Republican vote and nothing
else. This is what Palmer and his
associates are praying for. They real
ize that without such a breach in the
Republican lines there is no possibility
of Democratic success.
Colonel Roosevelt has no more use
for the Wilson administration and its
weak policies than have the Repub
lican leaders, and it is doubtful
whether he will risk giving further
aid and comfort to the Democracy by
diverting a few thousand Republican
votes to the candidates of the Wash
ington party in this State.
Republicans are awake mis year as
they have not been awake for some
time, and as the campaign develops it
will be discovered that thousands of
MONDAY EVENING,
voters who supported Colonel Roose
velt two years ago are now fish ting
under the Republican colors.
Next week the State committees of
the three political divisions will meet
in this city for the enunciation of their
platforms, and the Republican party
should go squarely berore the people
on a declaration of principles that will
appeal to every reasonable voter in the
State.
Thousands of Democrats have tired
of the Wilson administration already
and it is believed to-day that the
anti-Democratic alignment in 'Novem
ber will embrace great multitudes of
those who supported Wilson two years
ago.
Therefore, if Mr. Palmer Is correct
that the future of the three national
political parties is to be determined in
the hills and valleys of Pennsylvania,
let the conflict go on so that there may
be settled for all time the great ques
tions Involved in this year's campaign.
Our women suffrage friends have
been given a hard jolt by the Demo
cratic caucus at Washington. Repre
sentative Henry, chairman of the House
committee on rules, admits that he has
been instructed not to grant any request
that might hereafter be made for the
consideration of the woman's suffrage
amendment at this session.
MAYOR M'CLAIN'S APPRECIATION
MAYOR FRANK B. M'CLAIN in
his speech at the Lancaster re
ception to the Chamber of
Commerce the other night said
many pleasant things of, Harrisburg.
Ho has long been familiar with the
spirit of improvement here and his
long service In the Legislature gave
him unusual opportuntiy to study the
methods employed here in building up
a modern and attractive city. Re
ferring to these things in his speech
he said:
We, however, do not envy you
your health or your beautiful, com
fortable homes; your good streets,
or your eye-pleasing, comfort-mak
ing' river bank park. On the con
trary, we rejoice with you in your
prosperity and the many good
things, which are yours. We ap
plaud the progressive, municipal
spirit which has brought about
your many civic betterments and
adornments, and which as well, has
been so potential in the promotion
of enterprises, numerous, varied
and extensive, which have added to
your commerce, and been BO helpful
to the industrial welfare of your
city. You have pushed through
the discouragements encountered
with determined, unfaltering step,
and now stand in the encouraging
sunshine of successful achieve
ment. For some reason or
another the social and commercial
relationship between Harrisburg
and Lancaster has not been as Inti
mate or cordial as should exist be
tween sister cities separated bv
such short distance. Your people
and ours should get together
oftener, talk things over and inter
change Ideas. I sincerely trust that
to-day, the "ice has been broken;"
that the "mix-up" of this delightful
occasion will bring about a better
understanding; promote a more
cordial relationship; a more grener
ous rivalry between Harrisburg and
I>ancaster, which policy, if pursued
will, yes must, prove beneficial to
both.
Mayor McClain's generous and ap
preciative speech was the talk of all
Harrisburg visitors and it gave ex
pression to the sentimont which seems
to prevail throughout all the cities and
towns in this part of Pennsylvania.
Harrisburg has been as a beacon light
whose rays have penetrated every cor
ner of Pennsylvania and the splendid
progress along every proper line of
development in this city has been an
inspiration to all other municipalities,
large and small. Mayor McClain has
doubly cinched his hold upon the
affections of Harrisburg and while he
was popular here before, he is now a
citizen by adoption who should have
the unanimous vote of our people for
the high office of Lieutenant-Governor
for which he has been nominated by
the Republican party.
Judging from his testimony Mellen
should have spelled Ills name m-e-l-o-n.
INDUCEMENTS 'IX > VOTE
IT is currently reported that the
Democratic party employed 1,500
"watchers" in Dauphin county dur
ing the primary elections of Tues
day. Of course each one of these men
was paid for his services.
This is the modern way of "in
ducing" voters to go to the polls and
take an interest In the candidacy of
the man whose money they receive In
consideration of their efforts. In the
old days, before the "corrupt prac
tices" act had been written into the
laws of the State, this means of get
ting out the voters was known gener
ally as "paying the workers," and in
•jirecincts where residents were less
thoughtful of the proprieties and
where scruples were not so carefully
,:§jjdged about by semblance of re
►jk>£etability, they called the practice
"Vijying the doubtful ones."
course every political party is
entitled to and should have a watcher
bj£fjtw° at every polling place. But
any party or faction goes to
the extreme of paying five or more
men as "watchers" in every precinct
in a county where ballot fraud is sel
dom attempted, it lays itself open to
the suspicion of abusing the privilege
and of using it as a cloak for bringing
out ward workers who might other
wise remain at home, or who, if they
did come out, might be found other
wise on the opposite side of the po
litical fence.
Calling a black cat white does not
make It so, and calling a paid ward
worker a "watcher" does not change
his status one particle. Those who
do that are not honest with themselves
and they are fooling nobody. It Is
perfectly proper to pay a voter to look
after the interests of a candidate at
the polls, and there is no apparent
reason why his identity should be hid
den under the mask of the word
"watcher," unless his employer wants
to conceal the fact that he is using
money In his own behalf.
The only trouble with President Wil
son's Idea of aiding the Mexican peon
Is tuat the Mexican peon has armed
himself with a gun to prevent it.
The discovery that there is water on
mars may be considered as another big
addition to the "cold water" territory.
President Wilson Is Just as vigorous
in his assertion that "we shall not take
a foot of Mexican territory" as though
anybody wanted to.
I EVENING CHAT 1
f
Some of the master newsboys of the
city, for there are such persons In the
distribution of the newspapers, exer
cise considerable generalship in the
handling of their forces and the sale o£
the papers. There are districts iin
which boys operate and they arc as
Jealous In defending them as anyone
else engaged in business in which ter
ritory is split up. Several times a
day, commencing with early morning
bundles, newspapers are delivered in
Market Square for newsies to sell.
Some of the boys get their supplies di
rect from agencies or from publication
offices, but there are other bales which
are consigned to the boss newsboys.
It's well worth watching what goes on.
The master newsie takes his bundle
and moves to a side of the Square.
Then he marshals his force in lln<=-.
Every boy has to line up and as he
marches past he Is given his share and
the number noted. It Is all done rath
er quietly and without the fuss and
yelling that one ordinarily associates
with newsboys. Some of the boys are
inclined to raise a racket and when
they do the boss stalks down the line
and uses his fists. Some of the bosses
are not much over sixteen, but they
have things clown pretty pat and do
not make any bones about getting
what is coming to them.
All sorts of dodges are worked by
men who want to make a stake arid
some of them are ingenious to a high
degree, but it is doubtful if any more
original, and remunerative, has been
worked in a long time than that which
was put Into operation on Saturday in
Third street by a man who claimed
to be a veteran from Hamilton. Mis
story was that he had Just come to the
city for a short time and had to stay
here between trains. Money he claim
ed was short and he did want some
amusement. He asked for a few cents
to enable him "to see the movies." It
netted him half a dollar in one block.
Fred E. Geiser, member of the
House from the Easton district, was in
the city on Saturday night for a short
time. Mr. Geiser is a Democrat and
was renominated for the House, win
ning over the reorganizers' ticket. As
Northampton is a Democratic county
it goes without saying that he stands
a pretty good chance of being re-elect
ed. Mr. Geiser is best known locally
as the author of the "pure pay roll"
Investigation, which brought forth the
Economy and Efficiency Commission,
which is how making a study of the
business methods of the State govern
ment and which is finding out what
the national and other State govern
ments are doing in the same direction.
The dust nuisance which residents of
Paxtang are trying to abate is getting
worse and worse in the vicinity of
the city and it is probable that before
long systematic steps to improve the
conditions will be taken by local au
thorities and the traction company.
Whether the dust is worse than it has
been for years is, of course, a matter
for discussion, because in the city,
where so many highways are paved,
there is little or no dust and the con
trast in the country_ or suburbs is all
the more noticeable! Then again the
use of limestone on highways is a dust
creator of the first order.
The Capitol Park gardeners whose
activities tell the advance of the sea
sons, are showing that early summer
has corns indeed and the beds In the
park which were tilled with tulips and
hyacinths a few weeks ago are now
being planted with geraniums and
scarlet sage. Some of the beds are
larger than usual and the display of
white and red geraniums is well worth
looking over. The scarlet sage will
hold forth In the beds fronting the
main Capitol building and before long
the cannas will appear in the ovals
on the lawns between the wings of the
buildin. Zinnias are also being put
out and the park is getting its summer
aspect.
Pew people are aware that the
building at Second and Mulberry
streets, which the Cumberland Valley
Railroad has spasmodically used as a
local station for way trains for years,
Is one of the oldest of the brink build
ings in the city. It is a relic of the
days when South Second street was
one of the chief thoroughfares of the
city and lined with the residences of
people prominent in the affairs of the
infant State Capital. It was built be
fore 1800 and was the home or one of
the first borough officials of Ilarris
burg.
William H. Donner, the new head
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company's
executive affairs, is one of the big fig
ures in the iron and steel industry of
tho country, yet one of the least known
of men. He has been the silent force
in many of the developments in the
western part of the State and is said
to have few confidants and to be
one of the keenest of observers. Only
a short time ago he paid a visit to the
works at Steelton which was an
nounced and which attracted some at
tention. It just happens, however, that
he had visited the plant, unannounced,
a short time before that.

I LLTTCRSTOTHE-EDITOR I
OPENING BRIGGS STREET
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
A few days ago while walking up
Second street I was agreeably sur
prised to see a number of workmen
tearing down the old fence along the
Briggs street end of the Silk Mill, and
supposed It meant the opening of
Briggs street from Second to Front,
an improvement which should have
been among the first considered when
comprehensive plans for the better
ment of the city were adopted. Upon
inquiry, I found that instead of Briggs
street being opened, as I supposed,
the Silk Mill contemplates the erection
of a building at that point, and if they
are allowed to proceed it will stop for
all time the opening of Briggs street
through to Front.
This being one of our principal
cross-town streets in the central por
tion of the city, it should extend from
the river through to the eastern end
without a break, and in the opening
would be a great convenience to the
residents of that part of the city.

Interesting Story From Washington
About the Coming Fall Cam
paign Speeches
The Republican, Democratic and
Washington party county committees
will re-elect their chairmen when the
meetings are held for organization in
June. The committees will be called
as soon as the returns are certified by
the county commissioners and the
meetings will serve as a start for the
campaign work.
County Chairman William H. Hor
ner is being urged to accept another
term and it is believed he will take
the place. Herr Moeslein, 'apparently,
has plain sailing for the Democratic
honor as the Ryan people do not seem
to be thinking about fighting him. Ira
J. Mosey will get the AVashington
county chairmanship.
This interesting story comes from
Washington to the Philadelphia In
quirer: "A story emanating from the
vicinity of Oyster Bay,
N. Y., says that fol-
Roosevelt lowing conferences
Not I,ikel.v with Progressive party
to Enter leaders in Pennsylva
nia and other States,
Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, the hope of the Progressive
forces, is seriously considering keep
ing hands off in the Keystone State
and other parts of the country where
fights are now raging, in the hope
that he will be the choice of the two
wings of the Republican party for
President in 1916. This story, although
denied by leading Progressives in
Washington, has the earmarks of
truth about it, and to-night all bets
are off, insofar as Roosevelt taking
the stuinp against the duly nominated
Republican ticket in Pennsylvania is
concerned. Notwithstanding mes
sages to Pennsylvania Progressives in
Congress from Gifford Pinchot, Pro
gressive senatorial nominee, Dean
Lewis, gubernatorial nominee, and
others who have seen the Colonel since
he returned from South America, it
is said on authority that the former
President hesitates to oppose the
choice of the Pennsylvania Republi
cans, as expressed by their ballots
Tuesday last. The overwhelming vote
cast for Senator Boies Penrose for
another ter* and the almost unani
mous call extended to Dr. Martin G.
Rrumbaugh to be the party's candi
date for governor in November have
set Colonel Roosevelt to thinking, it
Is said."
When the Dauphin county Repub
lican candidates used to •hoose the
chairman of the Republican county
committee, tho Dem
ocratic Jin rrisburf
Patriot used to rave ('mulldates
over that action and Picking; a
declare it was the Chairman
handiwork of bosses.
According to a Car-
lisle dispatch printed in the Patriot
to-day the Democratic legislative can
didates in Cumberland county met
Saturday and recommended the chair
man for the Cumberland county com
mittee, which will be called for early
in June to ratify the choice. Deputy
Prothonotary Fred Mentzer was tho
man favored by Messrs. A. M. Bow
man, of Camp Hill, and H. A. Barner,
of Sliippensburg, who were the Demo
cratic nominees.
William J. Noll, of Cornwall, was on
Saturday afternoon re-elected as
chairman of the Lebanon Republican
county committee. J. Hauer Relnoehl,
of -Lebanon, was re-elected as treas
urer, and T Saylor Zimmerman, was
elected as secretary. John K. R.
Schropp presided as temporary chair
man for the organization. Nearly all
the districts in the county were repre
sented at that meeting and party suc-
I cess In November was assured by Mr.
Noll in a spirited speech.
Two well-known members of the
last House have figured in the returns
of last Tuesday's primary in a rather
amusing way. Plymouth
W. Snyder, who was nomi-
Membere' nated for senator in Blair
riiiiisunl county, defeating his col-
Ileturns league, George C. irwin,
for the Republican nomi-
nation, also won the Wash
ington party nomination. He took it
away from Frank M. Waring, the
Tyrone hanker, who is the Washington
party chairman in Blair and was a
candidate for tho senatorial nomi
nation of his party. Edward E. Jones,
well known as "Dirt Roads" Jones,
was made the Republican and Wash
ington nominee for the House in Sus
quehanna county and only missed be
coming the Democratic nominee by
one vote. James F. Woodward, chair
man of the appropriations committee
In 1909 and 1911, was opposed by
John D. Evans for the Republican and
Washington nominations. He beat
Evans for the Republican and Evans
won the Washington.
Senator Charles H. Kline, president
pro tem. of the Senate, was among
those renominated for the upper cham
ber at the primaries and
is certain to be elected in
Pittsburgh. The senator Kline is
was elected president pro Nominated
tem. at the close of the for Term
session and is also a
member of important
legislative commissions whose work
will be resumed very soon. Senator
Kline will likely be a candidate for
president pro tem. for the session.
He is just now devoting considerable
attention to the cold storage commis
sion. Senator William E. Crow, who
has been president pro tem., was also
renominated.

"LET'S THANKFUL BE"
By Winn Dinger
The primary election day
Has come, thanks be, and left.
And we will have a breathing spell
of wordy wars bereft.
A week ago the air was full
Of politics, and gee,
The only thing one heard discussed
Was who'd elected be.
A bunch of men were In the race,
Whose names each day were brought
Before the public eye, but now
The whole lot is forgot.
And business has returned again
To what lt was before
We all got mixed up In the fights
Of the primary war.
The adage, though, lest not forget
About the pan and flre,
Because it won't be long until
There'll be a lot more mire
Of politics on every side
As we approach the day
Of general election, in
November—so X say:
Let's thankful be that primary
Election day is done;
We'll have enough heat for a while
Prom summer's blazing sun.
