Read this from the Demo cratic platform on which President Wilson was elected: The Democratic platform de nounces appropriations of the last Republican Congress, which amounted to as profli gate waste of the people's money through lavish appropriations and promises a return to simplicity and economy. Now read this summary from an authorized source as to how that i economy pledge Is being kept: The first annual appropriations made by a complete Democratic Congress will be, at least. $105.- 000.000 In excess of the appropria- ; tions denounced in the Democratic t platform. And yet Democrats have the! temerity to ask for continuance in [ power on the results of their record j in office. Plnchot Is believed to have had a part I In the Harrlsburg deal of last week, and perhaps he was the one In mind when j Mr. Fllnn hinted that there might be j other withdrawals within the next thirty days. But the voters themselves ! ■will look after the retirement of those candidates who have so little regard j for the primary law which they in sisted on. THE FUSION DEAL STARTING as a recession, the de sertion of the Washington party by the voters of that organization has turned into a rout. Thou sands of good men who were induced to Join Roosevelt in his spectacular opposition to the Republican party two years ago have since realized just ■what the third party movement meant in making possible Democratic su premacy and they are now back in the fold or rapidly returning to the Republican citadel. Most of these voters were honestly of the opinion that a change in methods and policies was desirable, but they never contemplated the evil effects of Democratic experiment and Incompetency. Even Colonel Roose velt himself must regard with little satisfaction the evil results of his in cursion into new fields. So late as last Saturday in Kansas he declared In his usual emphatic fashion that there was no hope In the Democratic party. Further emphasizing the situation, the leader of the third party move ment in Pennsylvania deliberately and with a selfish purpose attempted last ■week to turn over to a direct repre sentative of the Washington adminis tration on the Democratic ticket in Pennsylvania the support of the rem nant of the Bull Moose organization. But he failed to understand the deep seated hostility of the honest Wash ington party voters to the Democratic heresies that have so nearly wrecked the prosperity of the United States. When William Draper Lewis quit the Washington party ticket in favor of a free-trade Democrat the final act 1n the dissolution of the third party movement in this State was enacted. McCormick. declaring that he knew of no fusion arrangement, was shown to have been In correspondence on the subject of a fusion combination at least a month before the consum mation of the deal In this city. And notwithstanding the protests of the honest Washington party men against the flagrant violation of the spirit and purpose of the primary law the game ■was played to the finish. Now comes Gifford Plnchot, the other star performer of the third party in Pennsylvania, with the state ment that he will also retire if by so doing he can defeat Senator Penrose. Thus the Democratic machine con tinues Its game of selfish absorption of Bull Moose bosses. It is not a wild statement that was made by one of the Washington party objectors to the fusion deal when he charged that McCormick as a Demo cratic Governor would use the State patronage In the building up of a low tariff Democratic machine for the benefit of Wilson in 1916. He prob ably voiced the sentiment of most of the honest Washington party voters that It waa "better to sink In a hope- TUESDAY EVENING. BXKRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 22. 1014. less fight than to tie ourselves to the tail of the Democratic donkey." The whole fusion scheme is pal- I pably an arrangement by which Mr. Fllnn, the financier of the third party movement in Pennsylvania, unloads ihe burden of an expensive campaign upon the vainglorious hand-picked candidate of the Washington adminis tration for Governor. In his eagerness to win support of the few remaining Washington party voters in Pennsylvania the Democratic i free-trade candidate for Governor i continues to Insist "that national ia- I sues do not enter into the contest in Pennsylvania this year." He doesn't say a word about the large congres sional delegation which Pennsylvania must choose this fall nor does he have anything to say about endorse ment of* the free trade heresy at Washington by the election of Demo cratic State officials in Pennsylvania, a State that has been so seriously in jured by the free trade, experiment. It Is mighty uncomfortable reading for the Democratic machine gangsters when they peruse the registration figures of September S and 15. There Is j absolutely no consolation in the re | turns for the Palmer-McCormick fac tion. S FEWER LAWS DR. BRUMBAUGH is having a splendid response throughout the State to his broad and in spiring speeches in which he portrays the splendid achievements of I Pennsylvania. All who have attended | the great meetings which he has ad dressed since the opening of the cam paign come away full of enthusiasm for the candidate and resentful of the attacks of the little men who are now posing as reformers. Perhaps no speech of the campaign has been so full of meat as one deliv ered by Dr. Brumbaugh at the annl | versary exercises of the Faoll mas sacre. A paragraph or two will bear repetition. In Dr. Brumbaugh's nlea for fewer laws and the practical In troduction of the Golden Rule he said: Countries, like Individuals, can prosper only as they give gloriously their gifts to those who need them. It is because our forefathers gave so splendidly that we have prospered so phenomenally. It is just as necessary to-day that men should give their lives for the na tion as it ever was. The man who loves his country honors it by liv ing under its laws, a decent, or derly, Industrial life If any are l to be denied a part in our civic procedure, let it be the lazy, the willingly Idle and the criminal. Those ,are unpatriotic. They are not real American citizens The first test of a good citizen is that he obeys the laws, not through sin cere love for the country whose laws he obeys. A few laws honestly and Impar tially applied will make for the progress of a people. Vague. In temperate. propulsive and radical enactments lead inevitably to con fusion. distrust and disaster. There should be stability in ordered pro cedure Just as surely as In Indi vidual conduct. Legislatures should. like Individuals, be sure they are right before they go ahead. Dr. Brumbaugh has hit the nail squarely upon the head in his decla ration against loose and 111-digested legislation. Those who have lived in the atmosphere of Capitol Hill know that the great evil to-day is the re dundancy of laws. What the State needs is about one session of the Legislature the entire time of which would be devoted to clearing the sti'tute books of unnecessary laws. | In this, as in nil other matters which he has thus far discussed, the eminent candidate has shown the breadth of his knowledge and the common sense which has been so conspicuously ex hibited in all his public work. We shall not be surprised to see hun dreds of former Washington party voters shouting for Dr. Brumbaugh as a result of the barter and sale between Fllnn and McCormick. COOP BASEBALL THE defeat of Elmira by Harrls burg in a series of games for the championship of the New York State and Tri-State leagues brings out one point very clearly—that the Tri-State managements have given their patrons better baseball for less money than have those in charge of the Ne*v York organization. Harrlsburg has enjoyed unusually good ball. Two pennants In three years deserves ' not only good words from the fans, hut their patronage in numbers sufficient to make the game at least stand on its own feet. Let us hope that next year the crowds at Island Park will be larger. •» BUYING IN THE FALL ORATORS Imbued with Fourth of July spirit have long delighted to tell us that the United States could shut itself off from the rest of the world and not only manage to exist, but could live in compara tive comfort. The European war has, to a great degree, forced this condition upon us, and so far we have not keen ly felt the loss of the immense quanti ties of goods we have been accustomed to import. Time was, and not so many years back, either, when each little Amer ican community was a world unto it self. The farmer lived off the land. The town dweller bought of the farm er, manufactured what was required locally and the community felt little discomfort when It was shut off from the outside world. A little enforced simplicity of this sort would not hurt us. Our markets have been too var ied and our merchants too obliging for our own good. The temptation to buy what we could well do without and to live from hand-to-mouth has been too strong to be generally resist ed. We need to get back to essentials. We ought to think in terms of necessi ties Instead of luxuries and to learn to buy economically. The old-fashioned practice of pur chasing quantities of vegetables, fruits, etc., in the autumn for winter use is a thrifty custom and ought to be- revived. Really large sums may be saved to any household by the pur chase of provisions In large quanti ties. The difference between the price of potatoes bought by the bushel and bought by the quarter peck la really amazing, frequently as much as forty p,er cent. Other fruits and vegetables vary in proportion. Beaide, the Fall prices for all staple farm products are much lower than those of mid winter and early Spring. If the war In , Europe drives us hack to some of the simplicities and econo mies of our fathers, it will have ac complished some good. EVENING CHAT I The split log road drag and Its brother, the patented road drag of iron and wood did more than anything else to pull Pennsylvania out of the mud this summer, and when the work of the State Highway Department in repairing the nine thousand miles of State highways, after the end of the financial hold-up conies to be written, it will be found that the humble road drag was the big factor. The department was retarded in its repair work for months and it was summer and in a period of hard rains before it could commence to put the highways into the shape that the pub lic, especially the automobile owners who paid over a million dollars in licenses under the belief that it was to he put into roads, demanded from the State. When the hold-up by the fiscal officials was ended by. the courts and the repair forces were organized hundreds of road drags were put to work dragging the roads and the change in a week was one of the things that attracted attention. Fully 1,000 road drags were In use by the State's men at one time or another and no appliance brought better re sults. On many of the roads but lit tle more tharf dragging was necessary to get them back into passable condi tion. The steam roller and the stone pile played a hig part in the repair of the roads, but the road drag came next to muscle In making repairs. Farmers' organizations in many parts of the State are to be asked to assist in the working out of a plan for more co-operation in bringing pro duce to markets as a result of a visit paid to this city a few days ago by David Lubin, who is taking an active part in the national marketing system campaign and who has spent many months in Rome at the International Agricultural Institute. The State Grange has been asked to arouse In terest and it is likely that some steps to hold a conference for development of a State-wide plan will be taken. The greatest need of the farmer, the men interested say, is a system to reach the best paying markets and to avoid the middleman. "Foreign manufacturers who have a good American trade are not going to lose it as a result of the war and the cry for American-made goods that has resulted." said a traveling sales man on Saturday night at one of the hotels. "I have just come from New York and I find that two German firms have established factories near New York for the making of things they have heretofore made only in the empire. They have American labor and are using American material. All that there is German is the method." The rather warm weather of • the last week has caused a good many youths to go back to baseball Instead of playing football which generally claims their attention at this period of the year. On Saturday almost every diamond about the city was occupied by a game and at the island and up town playgrounds nines contested al most all day. Abolition of the privilege of using eel baskets is causing a big Increase in the number of eels in the Susquehanna river, according to fishermen who have been fooled upon a number of occa sions by the big wriggling fish. Eels hav< been found In many places this year and the lower stages of the wai ter this Fall has resulted In many being noted close to the city. Interest in golf in the city is greater than ever this Fall and it is striking the number of players as compared I with ten years ago. At that time 1 playing was rather desultory on the I links at Lucknow where less than a dozen kept alive the traditions of the game, while the Reservoir links were just commencing to attract those de votees of the game who have made the course one of the best in this sec tion and who have furnished such fine players to city matches. The Colo nial course came later and in the next year there will be some three-cornered matches that will add much to the In terest in the game In the city. [ WELL KNOWN PEOPLE I —William G.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE [From the Newcastle News.] In the person of Judge George Kun kel, of Harrlsburg. the people of Penn svlvania have a splendid candidate for the Supreme Court, and it will be re grettable Indeed If the voters fail to give him enthusiastic suport, This Is harrtlv a possibility, however, for Judge Kunkel Is so well known und Ills quali fications so generally recognized that there is every reason to believe that he will be easily elected. It was Judge Kunkel before whom the Capitol graft cases were tried. His record in them Is a part of the history of our Commonwealth. The trials lasted more than seventeen weeks and when appeals were taken his rulings in every case were affirmed by the higher courts. lie is beloved by the people of Har rlsburg, his native city, and he has the highest esteem and respect of the legal fraternity of the State at large. Judge Kunkel consented to become a candidate at the request of his many friends, and his campaign has been conducted along strictly nonpartisan lines. He is the candidate of no man or clique of men, but Is supported by men of all shades of political belief who feel that his efficient service de mands his promotion to the highest court of the State. At the May pri maries he carried forty-eight out of sixty-seven counties of the State over the other candidate now upon the of ficial ballot. v The justice of the Supreme Court to be elects! this year will hold that office for the next twenty-one years. E#ry citizen is Interested In having selected for that office the man hest qualified for the place, who will not he under the influence of any combina tion of interests or influence*. Judge Kunkel is admirably qualified and The News hopes that Lawrence county votars will give him their support. PMJIIIER DEFIANCE GETS HOT ANSWER Detrich Says That Pinchot Will Not Retire From the Senatorial Ticket, Either THINGS GETTING MIXED UP McCormick's Position on Fusion Ticket Causing Many to Re nounce Him Utterly "Mr. Palmer is in the contest to the finish," Roland S. Morris, chairman of the Democratic State committee. "Mr. Plnchot will never with draw," A. Nevln Detrich. chairman of the Washington State commit tee. II ■ ll■ Congressman A. Mitchell Palmpr's defiant assertion that he will not sur render his place on the Democratic ticket so that the senatorial nomina tion can be turned over to Gifford Pinchot. the Washington party candi date. has been promptly met by a statement by A. Nevln Detrich, the Washington chairman, to the effect that Plnchot will not withdraw. Thus the situation is thrown up In the air again. Bull Moosers in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia are rearing and plunging and asserting that they will not stand for Vance C. McCormick unless the Democrats give something to the Progressives and part of the Progressive organization is asserting that it will not vote for McCofmick anyhow, because he is one of the Dem ocrats whom Colonel Roosevelt says cannot be depended upon to do any good for the people. The Philadelphia Press to-day says that J. Benjamin Dimmick has repu diated the use of his name by the so called Anti-Penrose League. "I have not yet made any declaration in behalf of candidates In this present cam paign," he Is quoted as sa.ying. While Dr. Brumbaugh was up in Lycoming . county with his coat off and meeting the voters in a way that made the McCormick tours look like juvenile excursions, prominent men all over the State were sending word to his headquarters in Philadelphia that they could be depended upon to help him. Among the men who entered his campaign yesterday were Isaac H. Clothier, ex-Senator Bayard Henry and Theodore C. Search, lead ers in reform movements for many years in Philadelphia. Seeing the handwriting on the wall, H. B. Sassaman and D. W. Shaffner. Democratic candidates for the House in the Second Dauphin legislative district, quit last night and Herr Fainthearts Moesleln will proceed Among the to start the machin- Dem<X'rats ery so that Lenker and Martin, members of the iollowing of Colonel Roosevelt, who denounces Democrats, will he put on the Democratic ticket. It is hoped the fusion will aid in getting votes for McCormick. Sassaman, who is In Harrlsburg most of the time, but who votes up the county, has been a conspicuous Democratic gangster ever since the McCormick machine began doing business in the present cam paign. However, since Brumbaugh's tour of the upper end he has conclud ed that it is not worth while running. Shaffner is officially physician to the county home, which job he apparent ly thinks more of than running for the Legislature hecause it would be in conceivable for any follower of Mc- Cormick to hold a public job and be busy playing politics. Determined efforts to overcome the frightful slump in the registration and the stampede of Bull Moosers to re turn to the Republican party, the Washington Colonel party ringmasters have to Boost arranged to have Colo n While nel Roosevelt make a speech in Philadelphia next week or a few days in advance of the last registration day. Boss McCormick and Faintheart Lewis will arrange to be there at the same time to get the reflected glory. The Colonel's plans, as announced in Phil adelphia, but subject to change, call for a three day tour of the State, in cluding Harrisburg. October 2B to 28. Other States are demanding his pres ence and the Colonel is demanding to know what about the rest of the fu sion here. A York county friend writing about the Penrose .visit to .Dallastown and vicinity says: "This strong Demo cratic borough gave a reception to United States Senator Pen- York Will rose, and others on Help the the Republican ticket Republicans that was without ex ception the most en thusiastic for years. It was held on the portico of the Commercial Hotel, where the senator and party, with al most a hundred representative citi zens, took dinner, prior to the meet ing. The hotel was gaily decorated. John C. Heckert, a leading cigar manufacturer, presided. Addresses were madit by the Senato" and Mayor Frank B. McClaln, of Lancaster, can didate for lieutenant-governor, which were received at times with great ap plause. The Dallastown Band fur nished the music. A delegation from Red Lion, which comprised twenty filled automobiles and a band on a large truck, met the party here and escorted it to that borough, where a like reception, If possible, still more enthusiastic, the large opera house be ing packed almost to suffocation. "Both these receptions were awak enings compared with the cold recep tions to McCormick and other mem bers on the Democratic ticket who have been In this section at various times. Appearances would surely in dicate that business men are being aroused to the necessity of a return of the Republicans to power." Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh and his campaign party are up in Clinton county to-day meeting the voters and finding that the recent Democratic tour of Brumbaugh that district and Pin- Aotlve l*p chot's invasion have the River been more occasions for mirth than any thing else. T o-d a y Dr. Brumbaugh will be in Renovo and adjoining towns and to-night will speak in Lock Haven. To-morrow the candidates will come down .the river and will be at Watsontown, Mil ton and Sunbury, winding up with a meeting in the latter town lYi the evening. Thursday Northumberland. [Union and Snyder counties will he !visited, including a visit to *he Union county fair and to Mlddleburg. Many Washingrtonlars are now writ ing the Brumbaugh Citizens' Commit- i tee that they will now support Dr. Brumbaugh. And the Indorsement of McCormick by a number of antl llquor delegates at Harrlsburg on Thursday last, temperance men say. no more Indicates the real feelings of the vast army of local 1 optlonists In the State than does the Indorsement by those delegates of Gifford Plnchot, rather than Palmer. State Chairman Roland S. Morris last night issued a call for the Dem ocratic State committee to meet here and see how 'the fu sion scheme ''took among the home Morris folks." Folks at the Battled windmill are a bit Nowadays nervous about the way the dyed in the wool Democrats regard this flirting with a party whose chief abuses Wilson at every opportunity. The meeting Is to see about tilling vacancies and fu sion. ostensibly, but as the State com mittee has nothing lo do with local or district nominations it is a mere blind. The whole scheme is one to stiffen up some of the fellows who have declined to go along and to try and smooth out the kickers. The Democratic campaign changes every week and changes for the worse. Albert E. Turner, a leading inde ■ pendent of Philadelphia, says of Dr. j Brumbaugh's position on local option: 1 "He Is not a man who | uttered Insincere words I when he said what h* did Rumps regarding local option." For the Mr. Turner wrote the "Cause" foregoing In a letter to John D". Strain, secretary of the Independent Republican Com mittee of Harrlsburg. who had asked Mr. Turner to vote for' McCormick. The Phlladelphian favors Dr. Brum baugh for Governor and Mr. Palmer for United States senator.

Mosey promising support to McCormick. as announced by the Patriot to-day, means one vote. Some little difference of opinion obout the senatorial fusion. —Doc Shaffner will not h'ave to give up the poorhouse Job now. —City Democrats do not seem to lll<e the surrender of the county legis lative nominees. —Lebanon Bull Moosers are to put up a . fusion banner. The Pa-Mc League can give points on banners that fade and fall down: also prices. —-Some one must be putting up a lot of money for all of these Democratic meetings around the city and county. Democratic workers are certainly not. —Bands cost money, too. Demo crats who financed other campaigns can testify. —The Washington party committee of the Twenty-fifth Ward in Philadel phia repudiated McCormick last night. —The advocacy of Pinchot by Con gressman Parsons, of New York, is sign'ficant, in view of questions about residence. —D. M. Hertzog will be led to the daughter against Senator Crow In Fayette, fusionists having built the platform. —Many prominent Phlladelphtans are voicing their confidence in Brum baugh and the esteem in which a man is held at home counts. —Bruce Sterling's law partner, one Higbee. thought he was on the Demo cratic Fayette senatorial ticket for a while. He knows better now. —Philadelphia Bull Moosers say that if Plnchot withdraws Roosevelt will not come into the State. —Tyson Kratz has sent an open let ter to Fllnn.
