TRUMP UP CHARGES
TO OUST POSTMASTER
Raise Row With Office Holders in
Cumberland County to Make
Place For Democrats
Charges made by Gifford Pinchot, the
Washington party candidate for United
States Senator, that his campaign lit
erature is not being distributed by cer
tain postmasters, are being investi
gated.
For some time post office inspectors
have been visiting New Cumberland,
and other towns in the Cumberland
Valley, making inquiries about the Pin
chot mail. Recently Mr. Pinchot visit
ed New Cumberland. On his arrival in
that town he found some of his litera
ture was still in the post office, and he
made a complaint to the Washington
authorities. Referring to the charges
against him, Postmaster Long, of New
Cumberland, said to-day:
"The Inspectors were here. I tola
them X had delivered every piece of
mail that was possible to deliver. As
required by law. 1 returned to the dead
letter office mail that could not be de
livered. About eleven out of sixty
cards could not be delivered because the
persons do not live in New Cumberland,
or get their mail elsewhere.
"There is a lively scramble among
Democrats for this position, and 1 have
received notice that as soon as a suc
cessor has been named by commission
will expire. My term runs out January
1. Perhaps, if charges trumped up
against me can be sustained I will have
to get out before my time."

DIM HCCOINT ~
IS ALMOST 130.000
His Campaign Committee Puts in a
Statement Accounting For
$17,580 Today
The report of the Dimmick cam-
Paign committee of Northwestern
Pennsylvania was received at the Cap
itol to-day from Scranton two days
after the thirty day period for com
mittees to file expense accounts, but
there are still unfiled reports various
other campaign committees in the in
terest of candidates. Committees of
the Palmer-McCormick campaign in
a number of counties and wards of
Philadelphia have not filed any ac
counts and there arc probably others
which have noj complied with the law.
However, there is no penalty and the
law does not authorize any State offi
cer to enforce filing. Candidates who
do not file may be estopped from tak
ing the oath if elected.
The Dimmick expense account
shows that $17,580.52 was received
and expended. Air. Dimmick's personal
account filed some time ago shows
that he spent $12,032.85 himself.
Henry Belin, C. S. Westen, AI. B. Ful
ler, David Boies and W. W. Scranton
ot Scranton, each gave SI,OOO to the
committee fund and several of them
are credited with SSOO in addition.
11 easurer James Blair Jr., also ac
counts for a loan of $2,500 by Belin.
In the disbursements It is shown that
the 'Philadelphia headquarters" re
ceived SII,OOO, of which $5,000 was in
a lump. A large part of Mr. Dim
mick s personal expenditures also went
to the Philadelphia headquarters.

The Schuylkill Light, Heat and Po
wer Company has appealed to the
Dauphin county court from the de
cision of the Public Service Com
mission, withholding the approval of
an ordinance contract with the bor

The appeal states that the commis

ing that it had the power to impose
upon the municipality of the borough
of Ashland a sarving company wheth
er It desired It or not.

ness on the railroads in this State de

More Cycles.—Nearly 5,000 more

After Farm Facts.—Steps to ascer
tain from the authorities of various
counties the number of farmers till
ing their own property and the num
ber which are tenanted are being
taken by the State Department of
Agriculture. This information is in
tended to supplement the census of
farmers and the number and size of
farms taken last year. It is the idea
to issue this information in bulletin
form and also to give some statistics
regarding the number of farms which
have been allowed to run down and
which are available for grazing.

Orphans-Day Outing
at Hershey August 15
The greatest pleasure in life con
sists chiefly in promoting pleasure for
others. This is especially true when
we have it within our power to con
fer a favor upon the hundreds of
homeless children who have no par
ents to take them out for an occa
sional picnic. Therefore if you have
a motor car don't make any ap
pointment for August 16 that will pre
vent you from enjoying the pleasure
of seejng a lot of orphan children
made happy through your efforts.
In eager anticipation of the annual
outing at Hershey Park the little or
phans of the city are making daily
inquiries of the attendants as to the
time they may expect the automobile
ride and picinic they have been look
ing forward to since the one they en
joyed last year under the auspices of
the Motor Club of Harrisburg. This
has proved to be one of the most suc
cessful and enjoyable undertakings
ever promoted by the Motor Club,
therefore J. Clyde Myton, secretary,
has made arrangements to have the
orphans' outing on August 15 and all
members are requested to send word
if the use of the car may be depend
ed on again this year. A treat will
be in store for the little ones that
will bring smiles to their faces, and
the peals of childish laughter will act
like a stimulating tonic to all who
dispel the first case of grouch or
touch of' blues.

thirty years and for nearly
eighteen years he has been a
United States senator. With un
faltering fidelity and with rec
ognized ability he steadfastly has
fought for the maintenance of the
protective tariff system. In the
enactment of Republican tariff
legislation he has occupied a po
sition of commanding influence.
In the enactment of destructive
Democratic tariff legislation he
led the advocates of protection in
opposition and earnestly voiced
the protest of the wage-earner,
the employer, the farmer and the
business man against the substi
tution of law tariff duties which
have proved so fatal to the pros

Republican party is returned to
power the protective system will
be restored. In the enactment of
legislation that will repeal the so
citlled Underwood tariff act Sen

of the industrial, commercial and
agricultural interests of Pennsyl

nomination of Aaron S. Kreider,
and wo urge all Republicans to
support him at the polls, believ
ing that he will use his best en
deavors to promote the interests
of all the people.
With the election of a Repub

been up and down the county, from
one end to the other, and he has found
nothing but dissatisfaction with the
manner in which the affairs of the na
tion are being conducted bv the
Democrats. Business is bad, he said
and getting worse. "The voters teli
me, he said, 'that I'*oy have been
fooled once, but they won't be again."
Mr. Smith's Predictions Verified
Former County Chairman Smith was
next called upon and in one of the
strongest speeches of the meeting
called the committee's attention to his
predictions when he stumped the
county for Taft and asked the mem
bers if they had not been pretty well
verified in the past year. Said Mr
Smith:
"Mr. Chairman and members of the
Dauphin County Republican Commit
tee: I jim indeed most happy to bo
with you to-day. to congratulate you
upon the unanimous re-election * of
your chair, and his fellow officers and
to make special mention upon the

prevails throughout the entire Re

To Discuss Advisability of Re
placing Some of Present
Equipment
One of the matters that will prob
ably occupy the attention of the bor
ough council at its next meeting will
be whether or not to purchase motor
driven fire apparatus to replace some
of the present equipment.
The town property committee is now
at work preparing estimates as to
the probable cost of three motor
driven apparatuses and will likely
submit its report at the next meeting.
_lt is understood that the town prop
"erty committee will recommend the
purchase of three new trucks to re
place the combination trucks of the
Baldwin and Citizen companies and a
motor-driven ladder truck for the
Paxtang Hook and Ladder Company.
To purchase three entirely new trucks
would cost the borough, according to
conservative estimates, about SIB,OOO.
Mounting the present apparatus on
motor trucks has been suggested and
apparently meets with the favor of
the councilmen. It is pointed out that
the Baldwin, Citizen and "Hookies' "
trucks could all be mounted in this
way for something like SII,OOO or
$12,000..

Trinity (Episcopal) The Rev. Har
our Senator from Dauphin county has,
but I did know something about busi
ness and business conditions as they
existed at that time. You know what
my plea was at that time. I asked
the voters of this county if they really
thought a change at that time was
best, adding further not to ask the
other fellow; not to believe all they
rend in certain papers, but to bring
the questions right home to their own
doorsteps. How am I doing? How
is it with me and mine? Am I pros
pering? And then after deciding that,
vote as they really thought they
should. Tt was apparent that many
did not take this home, but turned
their ear to false prophets. lam not
going to rub it in by saying 'I told you
so' for I believe you now fully realize
there was more truth than poetry in
my statements. Well, we all make
mistakes and I am mighty glad there
were so many such mistakes in that
campaign for we all profit by these
errors in judgment, and I know that
the error to which I refer will soon
be rectified not only in this county
and State, but throughout these United
States, when in November next we
shall have a good Republican major
ity In Washington."
"Psychology"
"I wonder how many men in this
room arc students of psychology. I
wonder how many men in this county
and State are versed in this most in
teresting study. I fear not many, and
yet we are asked by President Wilson
to believe this. There's nothing eithor
good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
"I read in the papers and you have
also read and know of many large
manufacturers who have laid off thou
sands of men. You know that thou
sands of railroad men are out of work
and I could site many other cases, il
lustrating the point, but I am going
to ask you if these men who need
work, these manufacturers who need
rest from federal interference, believe
this is all psychological. No fellow
Republicans, neither do they or we be
lieve it, but there's one thing we do
know, and the country at large knows
it better etech day, that in 1916 Presi
dent Wilson will be made to under
stand whether he thinks it good or
bad, psychological or otherwise, that
he and his policies have not made
good.
Kndorses Candidates
"There are others here who want
and will say a word to you about the
candidates upon our ticket but I just
want to take your time to mention the
names of three men. First, each man
here is anxious to see present condi
tions improve, we are all vitally anil
selfishly interested in our own wel
fare and each one of us can do his
share in bringing about this change.
We want men in the United .States
Senate and Congress that understand
Pennsylvania's needs, we want men
who know our conditions, we want
men who are loyal, who will stand up
for these things fearlessly we want
men who will and who have protected
Pennsylvania and her vast interests;
we all want this honestly and sin
cerely, and I say each one here can
do his share to bring about this desir
able condition. Not only vote for, but
talk for the Hon. Boles Penrose, the
next United States Senator from this
State and Aaron S. Krelder for Con
gress.
Word For Judge Ktinkel
"And just one more thought before
1 close. We must not forget the non
partisan candidate, and I need not
dwell long upon the man I have in
mind, a man we all respect and ad
mire; admire because of his justice,
his consideration, his understanding,
his strength, his abiding faith in the
people, a man who is a gentleman an«J
a scholar, a fellow townsman, one of
our very own. I refer to the next
judge of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania, the Hon George Kunkel. His
election there is no question about,
but we want Dauphin county to show
him by our vote how it is with htm
at home. Gentlemen, I thank you."

term was presented to the committee
and he appeared in very cheerful
frame of mind as to Republican pros
pects in November.
He spoke of his observations at
Washington and scored in severe
terms the reckless attitude of the Wil
son administration toward business
and the,direful effects of the new tariff
law on the country.
Ho said that there is every Indica
tion of a sweeping reaction at'the polls
in favor of the Republican candidates.
Mr. Kreider said he would reserve his
speech-making: for a later date in the
campaign and contended himself at

Wo contended that, it would not work

jeopie to say whether in their opin
on we or the Democrats were right."
•More About McCormick
Senator Beidleman, whose counter
attacks on Vance C. McCormick when
the latter assailed his good name in
the. memorable campaign of 1912 are
still high points in local political his
tory, took another whack at his old
antagonist in his speech to-day, prom
ising further revelations along the Una
of his previous charges as the cam
paign opens.
Said Senator Beldleman: "During
the 1912 contest I told the people of
Dauphin county some truths about thia
boy up in the Square who runs a news
paper and poses as the political dic
tator of Dauphin county. But I didn't
tell all then that I will to the people
of Pennsylvania next Fall because I
didn't know some things then that I
do now.
McCormick Is now posing as the
friend of labor in order to detract
from the growing distrust for Dem
ocracy on the part of the workingmen
of the nation. I present to the com
mittee his true attitude in the photo-,
graphic representations I hold in my
hand. They were made of the edi
torial page of The Patriot, the day
before McCormick assumed charge of
it as owner and the day following,
after he was in charge. On the day
before he took over the newspaper you
will see that the union label was
prominently displayed. On the day he
became its proprietor that union label
was taken down and it has not since
reappeared.
'This man has now started out to
besmirch the character of Dr. Brum,
baugh, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, who was pronounced the best
qualified man in the country for the
groat work of organizing a school sys
tem for Porto Rico by President
Roosevelt when he chose Brumbaugh
for that- important work.
"This campaign of vilification liaa
been going on for years, but next Fall
the people of the State will speak their
minds on the subject and silence it
forever."
Senator Beidleman paid a high tri
bute to Judge Kunkel and urged the
committeemen to roll up a big ma
jority in his behalf.
Vice-Chairman Dentz followed with
a brief speech, thanking the commit
tee for his election and promising his
best efforts for the majority he fools
sure is coming in November.
The speeohmaking was concluded
with an address by District Attorney
Michael E. Stroup, who took a hard
fall out of the Democratic national ad
ministration. its attacks on legitimate
business, its foolish tariff law and its
illogical and cowardly policy in Mex
ico. Mr. Stroup also behalf
of Judge Kunkel's candidacy and pre
dicted that, with tho Welp of tho
county committeeman, Dauphin will
be practically unanimous for him.
