TWTNR YELLING FOB HELP
READ between the lines the pro
ceedings of the Democratic
State committee yesterday
sounded like the wails of a ship
wrecked mariner on a spar at sea.
and doubt characterized
•*he meeting throughout. Palmer and
MoCormick pleaded for party unity
»nd harmony and besought the thou
sands of Democrats whom they have
reviled up and down Pennsylvania to
liive them their support. It was an
"exhibition throughout of a scared
iproup of little bosses and experienced
(politicians laughed scornfully.
McCormick especially begged the
pparty to come to his relief, hoping
kthat all the mean things he said about
ihis opponents and those who see
through his ambitious schemes might
toe forgotten, and that there should
%>e no remembrance of his own party
delinquencies. Like the spider, he
•now seek:; to entangle the Ryan fly
1n his own ambitious web.
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

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

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.

Sometimes one ik inclined to be
lieve that it might be a good thing to
reduce salaries at Washington every
time it becomes necessary to lower
the wjjges of workingmen and to oat
down the working force of "states
men'' whenever such pernicious leg
islation as that which has been en
acted since President Wilson was in
augurated causes dull times. 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!"

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.

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

JUNE
Say, June,
Alnt you the rhythmic rune,
The blissful boon
When you dip a sentimental spoon
Into the lambent moon
And pass it up
To fill the cup
Of lilting lovers
On the purple edge of the light
When they wander hand in hand
Through the soft, delicious silence
Of a dreamy sweetheart land?
Wow! ,
Now,
A'int you the goods
When the moon-kissed woods
Sing murmurous, tender music
That trembles In the breeze
As though a million Cupids
Were roosting in the trees?
Or something like that.
My scat,
June.
You are the boony boon
To them that spoon
By the light of the moon,
Ain't you? And, say,
In the blue-skied day.
Any rare June day,
When the roses bloom
And the ring doves coo,
Tt isn't all gloom
That comes with you,
Either, is It? Oh.
Move along slow!
Move along slow!
Night or day,
Love finds a way!
On the primrose path of dalliance
The happy hikers stroll
In rosy dreams
By babbling streams
Where soul communes with soul.
Gee Whiz.

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

GROWTH OF THE COUNT* FAIR
[From the Washington (Pa.) News.]
It is gratifying to learn from Secre
tary Crftchlleld, of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, in his bul
letin announcing the dates for local and
county fairs to be held this year, that
the number of such gatherings is in
creasing, that the Interest in them is
expanding and that they are becoming
more and more useful both in an edu
cational and social way. The statis
tics prepared by Deputy Secretary
Martin showing an increase of more
than 200,000 in attendance in 1913 over
1912, hear out Secretary Critchfield's
statement of the growth of this very
Important Institution.
