Many of those who listened to his cry for help whispered one to the other of the McCormick record of party bolting, his turning down of Bryan and Grimm and scores of other Democrats after they had been fairly nominated, and his attitude toward Democratic candidates not of his own Belection. These are the ghosts which jare rising to haunt the White House 'nominee for Governor and the fear wome wraiths will not be laid by any «oft solder about party unity and soli darity. And the ponderous platitudes of Reform and governmental efficiency land civil service regulation will only impress those who want to play the postrlch game while the White House "twins fatten upon peace and power. McCormiek's peanut declaration the surplus of State em- Iployes under a Republican adminis tration falls flat in view of the record tof the Wilson administration at Wash ington where, after loud campaign Ipromises of economy and the reduc tion of employes in the several depart ments of the national government, ,there have been increases in salaries and the working forces. He knows ►quite well that in the improbable event of his election as Governor there would be no reduction in the forces now employed on Capitol Hill, but in stead would follow the creation of places without number for the hungry horde of place seekers who are now sneezing every time Palmer and McCormick take snuff. With the steam-roller methods of the present Democratic machine still fresh in their minds the people will •take little stock in the platitudinous declarations of the White House twins regarding the return of the rule of the people and the disappearance of boss ridden conventions. When a platform Js prepared in Washington and pro mulgated by a hand-picked committee ■without even being adopted by any constituted body, it is amazing that there should be a pretense of the rule of the people under the circumstances. Referring to the autocratic issuing of an alleged platform without the approval of the constituted representa tives of the party, McCormiek's per sonal organ says to-day: It was a striking Illustration of the readiness of the Democracy of to-day to restore to the people their right not only to name thsir candi dates, but as their agents to promulgate the platforms upon which these candidates shall stand. Such balderdash only excites laugh ter where It does not Invoke contempt. There has never been in the history of the politics of Pennsylvania such arrogant bossism as has been dis played in the management of the Democratic party under its present leadership. What care Palmer and McCormick for the rank and fll« of the party which they are now using for their own selfish ambitions? They know quite well that their day is almost done and that, as suggested by one of the members of the committee .yesterday, the twilight will come next November. Also, Senator Penrose's prediction 4hat more than 100,000 Democrats will support the Republican ticket this year seems to trouble the White House selection for Governor. He refers to it on every occasion and pre tends to believe that such a prophecy Is bound to reunite the Democratic THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JUNE 4, 1914. factions. But what transpired here yesterday will give him little comfort and indi cates more clearly than anything that might have happened how utterly im possible it is for the Democratic party to reconcile its factional differences t*iis year. Palmer and McCormick, throughout the primary campaign, heaped insult upon insult on all Demo crats who chose to differ with them and their frantic appeals for the sup port of those whom they insulted are failing upon deaf ears, if we may judge from the emphatic declarations of active Democrats throughout the State. In contrast to the boss-controlled Palmer-McCormick party yesterday and its steam-roller performances, the harmonious and dignified session of the Republican State committee was most significant and impressive. In sincerity, flim-flam reform and rank hypocrisy as the fruit of ambition and yearning for power were never so strongly revealed as in the working of the Democratic machine yesterday. Secretary Bryan ought to get closer to his friends, Carranza -and Villa. How that trio would draw on the Chautau qua circuit this summer. DUST THROWERS BUSY AGAIN MAYOR ROYAL'S newspaper apologist is at it again. This morning it devotes a double- barreled editorial to criticism of the Republican members of the City Council for their alleged mal treatment of the nonpartisan head of the municipal government. Most of the wall Is directed against the alleg ed interference of outsiders In the selection of policemen and to the vir tues of the civil service principle in the constitution of the working forces of the municipality. With the record of the Democracy in the national arena and with the more familiar record of the present Democratic mayor during the period when he was able to work his own sweet partisan will, the hot-airing of the Palmer-McCormick bulletin on the virtues of civil service will only excite ridicule in this community. It has not been forgotten that Mayor Royal and his sponsor here were abso lutely indifferent to the protests of the people against the partisanship and the indifference of the Royal Ad ministration to the real interests of Harrisburg during the period when the Mayor was able to play his parti san game without restraint. Only those who want to forget, fail to remember when he sent not only one, but several appointments of policemen to council for confirmation and these selections were so rank that confirmation was refused. Nor has it been forgotten that the Chief of Police threatened to resign his posiUon unless certain outrageous se lections for his force were withdrawn. Nor have the people of Harrisburg forgotten that when it was pos sible for Royal to exercise his bitter partisanship in building up a po litical machine for his boss street inspectors and other incompetents were chosen without regard to the welfare of the taxpayers. We know nothing of the present controversy in council over the appointment of a policeman, but we do know that it does not lfe in the mouths of Royal or his apologists to criticise Republi can members of the city council on the score of partisanship in view of his unsavory record in this respect. Only yesterday Mayor Royal—poor, misused nonpartisan official that the Patriot says he is—presided as tempo rary chairman over the preliminaries of the Democratic State committee, as boss-ridden a political gathering as ever met in Harrisburg. The Patriot does not mention this, but It is easy to imagine what that newspaper would have said if one of the Repub lican councilmen had dared so brazen ly to disregard the nonpartisan fea ture of the Clark act under which he was elected. Nor will it do for the McCormick' organ to rail and rant over civil service in view of the Wilson administration's record in this regard. Competent and faithful officials all over the country have been dismissed to make way for Democratic job hunters in violation of the principle of civil service which that organ now pretends to favor with so much zest whenever one of its fa vorites happens to get the short end of the stick. It may as well be un derstood In the opening of the cam paign that McCormick and his satel lites in this community will not be permitted to throw the dust of re form and escape in the cloud of their own self-righteousness. Civil service as a principle is abso lutely correct and this newspaper be lieves that it should be observed everywhere, but when the principle ls more often observed in the breach than in the performance under the rule of Democracy, it is time that the truth be known. It matters little whether this or that person is appointed as a member of the police force, but it does concern the people whether misrepresentation is to serve the purpose of politicians who are consumed of ambition and ever ready when not in power to break down the systems whioh they pretend to favor. United States Senator Cummins has just been renominated for another term by the Republicans of lowa. Senator Cummins is one of the progres sive Republicans who has been urging a rehabilitation of the party with a view to a union of all Its elements against the Democracy. "MERELY PSYCHOLOGICAL" WE presume it is due to a "merely psychological" con dition that the steel traoe shows a falling off of 30 per cent, for the present year. It isn't pleasant to look upon the gloomy side of life. Neither is It right for newspapers of Democratic lean ings to belltUe the present grave con dition of business in this country. The President tells us one day that the depression is nothing more or less than a state of mind, and the next day admits there 1b a serious disturbance/ and then tries to make light of it by saying that it "Is less felt here" than elsewhere. He tries to convince the idle worklngmnn that he ought to be grateful because he is only hungry and not actually starving. Instead of admitting the mistakes of the Administration and the utter non sense of the White liouse excuses, and calling upon the President to halt for the sake of the nation, these same newspapers keep on whistling to keep up their own courage and continue to play politics with business. That, in truth, is the sum and substance of the whole trouble—this Democratic fad of playing politics with business. Meanwhile, midst this Hood of Wil son philosophy, this absurd newspaper chatter of good times when hard times arc knocking at the door, mills are closing, furnaces continue to be blown out and idleness and suffering ln- crease. The Iron Age of to-day says: JJ? e , re, ' e, lf drift in both iron and steel is well indicated by our sta il® ' CS ,^l? iron production in May.

At least such a measure might tend to give the legislative experimenters more of thought for the man whose dinner pail is light or heavy according to the state of business. 1 EVENING CHAT 1 Offers of regiments to flght in Mex ico and tenders of bands of music to lead Pennsylvania soldiers are not the only things which the Mexican situa tion has brought to the desk of Gov ernor Tener. Haxdly a day has passed since the state of affairs in relation to Mexico became critical that letters have not been received by the Execu tive of the State giving suggestions for ending the rebellion, telling how the United States should act and what is the duty of Pennsylvania in the prem ises. Many men ambitious to wear uniforms have showtt*ihemselves to be eager to embrace opportunities and the mail matter on the subject would fur nish some interesting as well as en tertaining reading. However, it is a fixed rule of the Executive Depart ment not to make public such com munications, they being regarded as confidential and pertaining to the business of 'the State. To each one a reply is sent stating that the matter has received attention and that in case of need the patriots and others will be advised should Father Penn desire their services. Some of the communi cations are of a less serious nature and sentiment and patriotism get com bined. One of the most striking of the communications on the general subject of Mexico was in the form of a poem written by Miss A. H. Praeglow, of Pike county. This communication was accompanied by a letter stating that three verses of an original poem had been enclosed and that seven more would be sent if desired. The poem as far as received here is as follows: OH, MEXICO Oh, Mexico! Oh, Mexico! Beg pardon, What made you do so? Didst thou not know the American? With heart so clean and eye so keen' Oh. Mexico! Oh, Mexico! Beg pardon. What made you do so? (Repeat chorus. Retard so.) He never would an InsuTt brook, To his glorious Stars and Stripes. Inspired he views the stars so bright In afield of Heaven's own blue. Chorus. The true men of the present time Are just as loyal as of old. No country boasts of men more fine. Worth more are they than so much gold. Chorus. (Air, "Maryland, My Maryland.") The manner in which the suffragists and the anti-suffragists got to work among the members of the State com mittees yesterday and to-day was worth watching. They were on hand early and lost no time In meeting the members and ascertaining their views The antis included Miss Emmellne Pitt, the field secretary, and Miss Eliza D. Armstrong, vice-chairman. They are here organizing the opposition campaign. On the part of the suffra gists Mrs. Frank M. Roesslng, the president of the association, and Miss Helen McFarland attended the meet ings. Harrisburg friends of F. W. Fleitz. ex-Deputy Attorney General and prominent Scranton lawyer and banker, will regret to hear that he is suffering from trouble with his eyes, and that he has been compelled to go to a Philadelphia hospital for treat ment. People get accustomed to gruesome tasks even in daily life and yesterday an instance was furnished on the "Hill." While one man was making out a paper certifying to the con fidence and trust reposed in a citizen and setting forth his appointment to a position of honor, at the adjoining desk death warrants for four men were being written. But the contrast excited no comment. It is all in the day's work. At the meeting last week of City Council Commissioner W. H. Lynch caused a lot of amusement among his fellow-councllmen and other friends in the rear of the chamber by his abrupt departure for a seat on the far side of the room when the electric fan over head was turned on. Mr. Lynch gravely protested that the fan was whizzing 'round directly over his head and caused too great a draught. "At yesterday's session the fan whizzed in the same old way, but Mr. Lynch didn't seem to mind It a bit. "What's the matter, Chiefy?" whis pered a friend from behind the vis itors' railing: "you don't seem to mind the fan and It's moving right along." "Why," gravely responded the com missioner, "it's movin' the other way!" STEM ROLLER WIS 111 (MET FORM It Ran Back and Forth at the Democratic State Committee Meeting in Style NEW M'CORMICK IS PLACED Henry B. McCormick Chosen as a Division Chairman; Com mittee Furnishes Fun The meeting of the Democratic' State committee yesterday and the subsequent meeting of the platform committee, to which the bosses shunted the framing of a platform to avoid a row in the committee, which broke out anyway, will go down in political annals as one of the most entertaining affairs in the annals of the party. To begin with there was no question but that the State machine was in full control of the committee, but afraid to go to the test on local option. It also had one of the smoothest running steam roll ers ever seen at a State committee meeting and a bunch of the most pol ished speeches the Democrats have listened to for years. And Palmer and McCormick, personally selected by President Wilson as the candidates for Pennsylvanians to vote for, had the temerity to talk about other can didates being "hand picked." The meeting was presided over by Slate Chairman Morris with dignity, verbosity and grace. He was always just right in liis movements, always ready to make a speech and always ready to pour oil, although he caught a Tartar in Representative John M. Flynn. The funniest thing about the whole meeting was the way Dan Hart pre sented his resolution endorsing the candidates. Hart is a Lu- zerne man and an ardent Funny Ryan man. They were go- Tlilngs ing to guillotine him, but There refrained. He said some nice things about Ryan and the men who beat him and then talked about the "peaceful twilight" coming in November. Pal mer declared the tariff was helping workmen and seemed to have been inoculated with the Wilson idea that bad business and no wages were purely mental difficulties. McCormick started oft his speech with the personal pro noun I, both in his prelude and in his set speech. Everyone wondered if he did happen to be elected Governor whether the hungry Democrats would ever let him abolish the jobs on Cap itol Hill he complained about. Creasy and the rest of the ticket were also exhibited, W. N. McNair getting a generous hand. Vance C. McCormick, Democratic nominee for Governor, yesterday allowed the mantle of leadership of the division of the Democracy in vv hi c h Dauphin H. Is. McCormloU county has been Becomes Big placed to fall upon Division Boss his brother, Henry B. McCormick. Brother Harry was elected chairman of the division comprising Dauphin, Cumberland, Lebanon, Berks and Le high, although how the interests of this district and the congressional dis trict known as the "Tenth Legion" and the "Citadel of Democracy," fit in, does not appear. Anyhow, there is another chairmanship nailed down. B. Stiles Duncan, of Duneannon, a Mc- Cormick follower, was elected chair man of the division comprising the West Shore counties, the York Demo crats being passed up, while E. Wei denhamer, of Shamokin, was picked for the up-river district. Judge E. C. Bonniwell bagged the Philadelphia chairmanship. Within a few days committees will be named by the Democratic State machine to pass the hat and to write pieces for the papers. The State committee yesterday authorized Financing selection of various Looms oh committees specifying the Horizon finance and publicity. The mention of finance caued some chill because members feared that it meant that they might be called upon to put up. The society of prospective postmasters, which was tapped for 1912 is shivering over the possibility of being visited by Wilson Bailey. The Democratic headquarters will be fully organized, although Con gressman Palmer says that the cam paign will not be started for some time to come. He said last night that he would let Pinchot roam around a while. 1 LLnERSTOTHE EDITOR PROBLEM IX HI(>HERM ATHHM ATICS To the Editor of The Telegraph: I wee by a report published in your morning contemporary that Vance C.

THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS By Wing Dinger I've done a bit of figuring. But, gee, I must confess, The cost of an election Is s'omething I can't guess. It seems that thirty thousand Is what one has to pay To win the tight for Mayorship—■ At least, that's what they say. It took a few more thousand To nominated be As candidate for Governor At this last primary. And now I'm set to thinking What will it cost to run For Governor next November— I'd say, at least, a ton. But what is still more puzzling To other brains, I'd say. Is what Dan Hart sprung at the Convention yesterday. What did he mean when he said The Democrats' hard fight Would lead them next November To a "peaceful twilight?" PENROSE AND ROOSEVELT And yet on the two leading issues of the campaign Mr. Penrose and Mr. Roosevelt are in substantial agree ment. Both are protectionists. Both are opposed to what may be called, for convenience, the foreign policy of the Administration. Mr. Penrose will vote against tolls repeal, as would Mr, Roosevelt if he were a member of the Senate, ant', will also vote against the treaty with Colombia if that instru ment is submitted to the Senate. Mr. Roosevelt's hostility to Mr. Pen rose is based on bosslsm. And yet the chairman of the Bull Moose commit tee in Pennsylvania is William Fllnn, of Pittsburgh, who is numbered among the Pennsylvania bosses. He and Mr. Penrose received their political train ing in the same school, and at one time were close friends. Indeed, Mr. Flinn desired to be Mr. Penrose h col league in the United States Senate. The warfare between them dates from the refusal of Mr. Penrose to support Mr. Fllnn's aspirations.—Washington Star.

ANOTHER BRYAN TOUR [From the Philadelphia Press.] Just at this season of the year when the almanac bids us look out for signs of summer the announcement is made that Secretary Bryan is again to tread the gold-lined path of the Chautauqua. Upon this circuit the same irresistible combination of the yodeler, the juggler and the Secretary of State is to delight the populace. The bookings are being made, and next month the Nebraska statesman, armed with the Wilson blessing, will fare forth with his pil grim scrip and bis dove of peace. There has been a hope among good citizens that this summer would not see a repetition of the humiliating spec tacle of last year, when the premier of the Administration competed hand to-hand with the lights of the vaude ville stage; that even the Bryan mind had realized the effrontery of selling at Chautauqua the time that he owes to the service of the Government and that there was something, too, that he owed to the dignity and prestige of the office which he holds. It Is bad enough for a man to make the record that Mr. Bryan has made in the State Department without fol lowing it by exhibiting himself for price and pay.
