JI'DGE KUXKKI/S CAMPAIGN
THK fact that Dauphin and sur
rounding counties are solid for
Judge Kunkel for the State Su
preme Court bench should not
deceive voters into believing that
friends of the other candidates are
not busy. They are, and very busy,
too. Wherever they believe a vote can
be made for their favorite they are
at work. It therefore behooves every
friend of Judge Kunkel to see to it
that his friends in other parts of the
State learn of .the splendid quali
fications of the Dauphin county jurist
for a place on the Supreme bench.
Dauphin county has never had a
Supreme Court judge, notwithstanding
that it is the capital of Pennsylvania,
and that while geographical consid
erations may not enter weightily into
the choice of men for this high office,
other sections less favored as centers
of population have been and are at
present represented in the upper
courts; so that now, with a candidate
eminently fitted for the Important
duties involved, it may not be amiss
for our people to press their claims
among voters throughout the entire
commonwealth.
A dozen postcards may make a
dozen votes for Judge Kunkel. We
who know him so well ought to feel it
a privilege to aid in the campaign that
his friends are making for him, es
pecially so since the judgeship has
now been removed from the realm of
partisan politics and that men of all
parties therefore may feel free to
enter the lists in behalf of the Dauphin
county candidate.
In the furtherance of his present
ambition Vance C. McCormick states in
his recent appeal to the ministers of
Pennsylvania that he is constrained to
"leave no method untried." What more
need be said?
DEMOCRACY ELSEWHKRK
THE State's Democratic candidates
are so busily employed in de
faming and maligning reputable
Republican officials and brawl
ing out that all their opponents are
thieves, grafters and liars that they
have found no time to explain the
Innumerable broken promises of their
last national platform. They now
loftily ignore their pledges of the re
duction of living expenses by a tariff
law of their framing which has
brought only stagnation anil disaster.
Doubtless they will he equally silent
as to the niisgovernment and corrup
tion in neighboring commonwealths in
Which a majority of the voters, misled
by specious promises of reform, have
placed Democracy in power to their
Borrow.
Yet the Democratic orators on the
stump and the Democratic press of
thia State are so fond of mouthing the
words "bosses" and "gang" that per
haps they will relish the following ex
tracts from an editorial of a recent
number of the Indianapolis News, the
leading paper of Indiana, and one
especially noted for its fairness and
lack of partisan bias. In its deserip
. tion of the present Democratic gov-
V ernment of Indiana the News says:
* The record Is, indeed, black. But
It Is nothing more than the natural
product of the boss system of gov
-1 ernment which Is now in force
throughout Indiana. " Being sub
ject to the gang, the Legislature
i could not help doing the gang's
will.
!' If Crawf. Fairbanks desires to
sell more beer, of course it must be
arranged for him to do so. If Tom
Taggart wants a certain bill passed,
j and a certain other bill defeated, he,
\of course, has his way. No subject
/or question is ever considered, or
i ever can be considered, from the
!' point of view of the general good.
That is something that Is never
taken in account.
Now this is the type of govern
ment we have in Indiana from top
to bottom. The trail of the bosses
Is over it all. And it calls itself
Democratic. We should think that
the shocklngness of It all would be
chiefly felt by the Democrats who
see their party thus debased and
I degraded.
[ One of the leading Democmtic mem
| bers of the Legislature, Mr. Crawford,
L revolted against the venality he saw
[ all around him, and now the Demo
cratic Governor nnd all the satellites
>of the Tom Taggart rin? are bestowing
THURSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 15, 1914.
upon him epithets very like the de-j
nunciations that Democratic leaders j
in Pennsylvania are continually hurl- ]
Ing at all who venture to differ from
them.
The statement of Representative
Crawford, fully confirmed by Repre
sentative Eschback, the minority
leader of the Indiana House of Repre
sentatives, is that Homer L. Cook,
Democratic presiding officer of that
body.
was either so Ignorant or so bad
that, at times, he was an object of
I pity. He declared bills passed when
I regulations which the Constitution
imposes were disregarded, mem
bers being voted when absent, and |
roll calls padded. Cook was seen,
gavel in hand, pleading for support
of measures he favored. There
i were few days of the session of
191.1 that the Democratic State
Chairman did not lobby for hours
on tile floors of the House chamber
without being molested. He was
busily engaged in killing decent
legislation and promoting the cause
of booze, eigarets, etc.
And when the Democratic Gov
ernor of Indiana recently delivered
what was termed the "keynote
speech" in defense of the State Demo
cratic machine the only reply he could
make to Representative Crawford's
allegations as to the criminality and
venality of the State's Democratic gov
ernment was to hurl at him the
epithet "apostate."
How very like that sounds the Penn
sylvania Democratic method of sub
stituting maledictions and scurrilous
terms for argument. When the pres
ent blatant apostles of our State's
Democratic machine ask the voters to
abandon the able, tried and upright
Republican standard bearers in a
chase after something styled Demo
cratic reform is it a reform of the
Indiana brand that they seek to in
stitute?
THK DIFFERENCE
EVER since the opening of the
campaign Vance C. McCormick
has been endeavoring to involve
Dr. Brumbaugh in personal con
troversy in an effort to pull the great
educator down to his own low plane
of mud slinging and vilification. That
is the only style of campaigning Mc-
Cormick knows. He has schooled
himself in it for years until he is
now as expert in directing the course
of a handful of mud as Mexican snip
ers were in picking off American ma
rines at Vera Cruz.
Malicious untruth after untruth he
has hurled at Dr. Brumbaugh and at
last Dr. Brumbaugh has seen fit to re
ply. This is what he says:
I have no intention whatever of
entering into any personal contro
versy with Mr. McCormick. I am
engaged in discussing on the stump
before the people of the Common
wealth every day the Issues In
volved In my candidacy at the May
primary and in the November elec
tion. I have sought to make plain
and unmistakable the facts of my
candidacy and have stated definitely
my plans and intentions. If 1 am
made Governor, 1 pledge myself to
serve In that office as my consci
ence dictates and the Father in
Heaven gives me wisdom and
strength. I shall evade no issue in
volved in my speaking campaign,
which will go on vigorously until
election day.
How different is this from the "I
can't-preach-but-I-can-fight" billings
gate of McCormick! Brumbaugh cares
nothing about the fact that President
Wilson picked McCormick for the
governorship and that McCormick
paid $33,000 from his numerous mil
lions for the nomination. He cares not
that McCormick has never spent one
penny of his great fortune for the
benefit of Harrisburg. He is not in
terested in the fact that McCormick
was elected mayor by the largest cor
ruption fund ever raised in Harris
burg, and that he then showed his
gratitude by trying to send to the
penitentiary the man who directed the
expenditure of his slush fund. Dr.
Brumbaugh is not a mud thrower. If
he was he would not in this case lack
ammunition. Instead, he tells the
voters that he "pledges himself to
serve in office as my conscience dic
tates and the Father in Heaven gives
me strength."
The difference between these two
men is past the power of language to
describe, but it will be represented in
November by about 200,000 votes in
fa\">r of Dr. Brumbaugh.
LATIN-AMERICAN COUNTRIES
SPECIAL study of the countries of
Latin-America in schools in the l
United States is urged by Dr. P.
P. Claxton, Commissioner of Ed
ucation, in a letter to hitrh school
principals. Dr. Claxton declares:
We should teach in our schools
and colleges more of the geography,
history, literature, and life of tlie
Latin-American countries, and we
should offer instruction in the Span
ish anil Portuguese languages to a
much larger extent than is now
done.
All our relations with the repub
lics to the south of us are bound to
become much' more Intimate than
they have been in the past. The
completion of the Panama Canal,
the changes in commercial relations
brought about by the war in Eu
rope. as well as other recent events
have served to call the attention of
the people of the United States to
the recent rapid growth and de
velopment of the Latin-American
republics.
These countries comprise an area
three times as great as the i'nited
States. They are rich in minerals,
forests, water power, and a wide
range of agricultural products.
They have 70,000,000 of people, with
governments modeled after our
own. Their foreign commerce
amounts to more than $3,000,000,-
000 annually ami Is rapidly increas
ing.
It may be added that the third
American city in population Is in
Latin-America. Another Latin-Amer
ican city has 1,000,000 inhabitants.
Threo others have approximately 500,-
000 each, and five others have each
200,00<lft>r more. Some of these cities
rr.nk among the mo.it beautiful and
attractive in the world. These coun
tries are making rapid progress in ele
mentary and secondary education and
in industrial education. Several of
their universities enroll from 1,000 to
2,000 students each. The history of
their countries is interesting, and they
possess a rich and varied literature.
A further reason for teaching Span
ish in our schools is that it is the
language of one-tenth of all the people
claiming protection under the Amer
ican flag, as well as of one of the cul
tured nations of Europe. For years
sporadic attempts have been made to
substitute Spanish for sonae less desir
able study In Harrisburg schools, but
to this time without success.
EVENING CHAT I
This is "squirrel »iav" in Penn-!
sylvania as the season for shoot
ing black, fox or gray squirrels be
gins and six of ' the combined
kinds may be shot in one day. Red
squirrels are not proteoted by law at
any time and they may be shot in any
number so that the only squirrels that
will be safe will be the denizens of
parks and on private game preserves.
Reports made by the State's game
wardens indicate that the squirrels are
as abundant as other kinds of game
and that in many parts of the State
they are in greater number than usual
and some good bags should be made.
In addition to squirrels certain kinds
of pheasants become legal game to
day, but the quail and deer seasons do
not begin until later. Grouse are also
reported to be numerous and where
quail were fed during the winter re
ports indicate that there are many of
them. Hunters' licenses have taken a
boom as the season lor gunning has
approached and thousands of them are
being issued. It is expected that be
fore the end of the month the listing
will have run almost as great as it
was by the same time last year. The
deer season, which will begin in the
earlj* part of November is attracting
much Interest because of the reports
reaching the Game Commission about
the many deer seen near towns and on
farms. In some ol' the central moun
tain counties deer have been seen very
close to barns and in some of the
southern counties they have been
chased out of fields and orchards.
Another interesting farming fact is
that in spite of the fact that a very
large acreage of wheat is being plant
ed as the usual result of a war, and
some fields arc being worked rather
hard, there has been some skimping
iji the. way of fertilizer. The war cut
off the bulk of the national supply of
potash which comes from Germany
and prices went up with a prompt
objection all over the State. Accord
ing to reports which have,been receiv
ed at the State Capitol more of an ef
fort is being made to push American
made fertilizers than ever and some
farmers are trying out new mixtures.
However, there are some who are let
ting the soil go without potash this
year because of the prices and State
advisers arc telling them not to do it
but to use the utmost care and go to
some expense if they want to have
good crops next year when there is
every indication of a good price.
One of the things noticed about the
farms in this part of the State during
this very unusual autumn is the fact
lhat much of the corn husking has
been completed on many farms and
the golden ears have been taken in and
estimated. In years gone by it was
not uncommon to leave the husking
go until around election day and often
corn has been unhusked as late as the
tenth of November in some southern
counties. This year there is a very
abundant corn crop and the farmers
are getting it ready to market early.
The heavy rains of July washed out
many fields, but there have been tre
mendous yields in many parts of Dau
phin, Cumberland and York counties.
"What's become of the army worm
that had us all crazy before the armies
in Europe got busy?" asked a man of
State Zoologist Surface the other day.
"Gone into the ground; that's where
they go." said the doctor. "They bur
row i.ito the ground and turn up next
year, but it is doubtful if they will be
anything as numerous. Many of them
were killed off and people know now
how to head them off when they come
around early."
Dr. Surface also said that the de
struction of thousands of army worms
by birds demonstrated the value of
birds to the city man as well as to the
farmer. The birds were the greatest
agency in getting rid of them.
One thing the motor travel has
brought to the region round about
Harrisburg and that is signs. You
can go over any one of the dozen or
more main highways centering in Har
risburg. which is a sort of hub for
state highways, and find them lib
erally placarded with signs and sign
boards. The Motor Club of Harris
burg started things going in that direc
tion and their original signs are still
up. Since that time more have been
added by the club, the State and by
individuals. There is no mistaking
the way to Harrisburg and precious
little excuse for finding the way else
where.
If the proposed tax on automobiles
is laid by the national government it
will be paid by nearly 1,000 persons or
firms or companies in Dauphin county,
according to an estimate made at tlie
Capitol. There are that many ma
chines owned in the county according
to one man who follows up such
things. Harrisburg has the bulk of the
cars and the number of business mo
tor vehicles is something surprising.
Most of them are of high power and
firms which for years maintained fine
spans of horses now have motor
trucks.
Talking about farming matters it is
"*f interest to note that Dr. H. A. Sur
face, the State zoologist, plans to visit
as many of the demonstration orch
ards as he can during the coming
demonstration season. He will not be
able to get to each of the 300 orch
ards, but he plans to visit each county
and to assist the regular demonstrat
ors in showing how to get rid of pests
and to make trees bear.
Governor Tener will take up golf
playing again now that the world's
series is ended and it # will be golf for
him for amusement "until the snow
flies. The Governor played until late
into December last year and was the
first one out on the Country Club links
last Spring.

CLUB TO ENTERTAIN
THE CANDIDATES
Harrisburg Republicans Will Be
Hosts to Kreider, Swartz and
Wildman Wednesday
DEMOCRATS GIVEN JOLTING
Manufacturers Lining Up For the
Whole Republican Ticket; Pal
mer Will Stay on Ticket
Arrangements have been completed
by the members of the Harrisburg Re
publican Club for the annual enter
tainment in honor of the Republican
candidates and it will be given on
October 21 In the Second street club
house. Congressman >A. S. Kreider
and Legislative Candidates J. W.
Swartz and Augustus Wildman will be
the guests of honor.
It is expected that several of the
prominent Republicans of city will
be speakers in addition to the can
didates and that several State officials
will lie present .
The club will take a prominent part
in the reception to the Republican
State candidates later in the month
and its members will act as escorts
together with members of other Re
publican clubs on that occasion.
Democratic machine men in Leb
anon county and their Bull Moose
partners are down in the mouth over
the fact that William
Coleman Freeman, for-
Democrats mer legislator and anti
llave Little Penrose man, has come
To Smile At out for the Republican
ticket as the best litted
for the State in the
present emergency. Mr. Freeman is
making speeches for the ticket and
the McCormick gangsters are sore
over it. In Cumberland county many
of the prominent manufacturers are
declaring for the ticket and fail to see
the good in McCormick which he pro
claims. In Philadelphia John G.
Johnson, eminent attorney, has de
clared for Penrose over his signature,
and the editor of the Pottsville Jour
nal charges in an editorial that Bill
Flinn Is trying to control the Demo
cratic State machine through his pull
with Vance C. McCormick.
John C. Nissley, candidate for the
Legislature, and Phil. S. Moyer ad
dressed a large Republican rally at
Grutz last evening. The
rally was held in Smith's
hall and George Guise Rallies in
presided. At a rally in tlie County
Loyalton the addresses Draw Well
were made by Charles E.
Pass, former poor di-
rector, and James B. Lentz, vice
county chairman. The campaigners
visited several towns in the upper end
during the afternoon, including Pillow.
Meetings will be held to-morrow
evening at Flshervllle and Halifax.
By special invitation Senator Beldle
man will be one of the speakers at
Halifax. Congressman Kreider will
also deliver an address at that place.
Saturday evening there will be meet
ings at Elizkbethville and Berrysburg,
When the Democratic State execu
tive committee meets here at noon
to-morrow to complete fusion dickers
there will be nothing
doing on United States
Palmer W ill senator. It was au-
Stick. But thoritatively stated to-
Flinu Kicks day that there will be
no fusion on that office
iuid that Palmer and
Plnchot will go right through. This
means that the Bull Moosers have
been given a large, well-polished gold
brick. McCormick is on their ticket
and Plnchot and Palmer will remain
to tight each other. William Flinn,
the boss of the Bull Moose, Is angry
at the refusal of Palmer to quit and
plans to have some emissaries here
to-morrow to make statements. At
Flinn's direction the various Washing
ton county committees throughout the
State have been sending letters to Pal
mer telling him to get off the ticket
since McCormick was taken up by the
Bull Moosers, but there is nothing do
ing, and the Washingtonlans will be
told so to-morrow.
Democrats who have espoused the
Vance McCormick cause are planning
to give the candidate a run for his
money and the Central
Democratic Club plans to
get rid of the odium of Plannins; to
having invited Arthur R. (Jive Vance
Rupley, a Progressive and a Run lor It
candidate on a rival
tick'it against the Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress-at-large,
to speak to it by taking part in a
series of parades. One of these will
be in Reading to learn steps and then
the club will burst on the city for the
"rally" to be held at Kelker Street
Hall. The club also talks about going
to Stcelton. Meetings are being held
nightly by the distressed Democrats in
the county and are poor drawing
cards, while the attempts of the Bull
Moosers, who are leading around H. B.
Sassaman as a horrible example of a
Democratic quitter, arc exciting amuse
ment. When McCormick comes
marching home after his tour of the
State he will be given a parade be
cause there will not lie any chance for
it after November 3. Some of the
money that would have been used for
the pilgrimage to Palmer's home will
be burnt up in red fire.
The fact that the Washington party
is a mere annex to the McCormick
machine is pretty well indicated by the
manner in which the
mourning Patriot, the
Kverythlnir McCormick newspaper,
Democratic heads up the events
Nowadays among the Bull Moosers.
For instance, it Is an-
nounced that "McCor
mick's banner" is back In Market
street. One. would not think that
there were any other Washington party
nominees. Then announcements of
the Washington party meetings Iti
Steel ton and vicinity, which were ad
dressed by Doc Kreider and other
Bull Moosers, are headed up "Demo
cratic meetings are well attended."
Once in a while It creeps out.
POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS
—There's some contrast between the
Brumbaugh and McCormick styles of
campaigning.
—McCormick did not say anything
about the use of money in politics In
his letter to the preachers.
—The Bull Moosers are finding that
when it comes down to being sellish
about tickets they have something to
learn from Palmer.
—Just how Bill Flinn expects to
win with Plnchot and get Palmer out
is a problem.
—The Montgomery Brumbaugh
committee has started some energetic
work for the doctor.
—Penrose's speech appears to have
made some Democrats In this part of
the State wonder where they are going
to end.
—Palmer says he is in the race. But
it Is chiefly as a target.
—The Dauphin county Washington
party is for McCormick and is lam
basting Palmer.
—McCormick's golden banner Is
very appropriate and very much ad
mired by the Washington party men
who hope to share.
—The Palmer-McCormlck banner
ought to be given a golden lining, too.

McCORMICK'S DISCREDITABLE
METHODS
[Philadelphia Telegraph.]
Mr. Vance C. McCormick, the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, dis
credits himself and impeaches the in
telligence of his audiences when he
attempts to question the integrity or
the sincerity of the declared purposes
of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, his Re
publican competitor.
Dr. Brumbaugh needs no defense
from such attacks. The people of the
State know him, and their judgment
of him is grounded upon his record
of faithful, efficient and honest public
service, and upon the unassailable
character of his private life and not
upon the malignant flings of the Dem
ocratic candidate, who has brought his
campaign efforts to the lowest level of
pothouse politics.
No pledge made to the people by
Dr. Brumbaugh has ever been broken.
In the platform which he promulgated
when announcing himself as a candi
date for nomination at the primaries
he spoke independently,' and wholly
free from any influence but his own
convictions. Had it not been so there
are some things in his platform that
would .not have been there. That of
itself is a complete refutation of any
intimation that Dr. Brumbaugh is not
his own master.
The people accepted Dr. Brum
baugh on that platform, and by a vote
as honorable to them as it was to the
candidate they nominated him for
Governor by an overwhelming major
ity. in his canvass of the State during
the past month the Republican candi
date has renewed over and over again
every pledge made in his primary dec
laration. And the people of Pennsyl
vania—all who are just to themselves
of whatsoever party—know that when
Dr. Brumbaugh makes a pledge to the
public he will keep it.
His public record and his high and
unimpeachable character are a guar
anty of this. The Democratic candi
date for Governor knows this as well
as anyone, but he does not choose to
be honest with himself a.id with his
party. He presumes upon the ignor
ance or the blind prejudice of his
hearers. If he has nothing better to
offer than personal' attack upon his
opponent he is himself unfit to be
Governor.
No man has ever been elevated to
the Chief Magistracy of this great
State by means of vilification and mis
representation, and none over will be
as long as the people of the Common
wealth are gifted with common sense
und self-respect.

LETTERSTOTHE-EDITOR I
STREET SIGN BOARDS
To the Editor of llie Telegraph:
Being a native of . Harrisburg and
having lived here all my life, can
proudly agree with the expressions
elicited by the Chamber of Commerce
at one of its recent sessions, as to the
substantial growth of the city, and its
commendable improvements, which are
a credit to its enterprising citizens.
I have occasion to visit all parts of
the town in the interest of my busi
ness, and am constantly handicapped
regarding the names of new streets and
locations, caused by the unaccountable
absence of street signs on street corners
for guidance.
If this is an inconvenience to Har
risburg's inhabitants, how much more
does this inconvenience strangers?
This oversight on the part of the city
authorities cannot be one of expense;
then why not remedy this mistake, if an
expense. Are not all public improve
ments coupled with cost'.'
Fifty years ago. when the town was
limited in size, all street corners had
signs giving the names of its streets
and alleys. Why not now, when it is
more urgent and necessary?
If this suggestion is deemed imprac
ticable or visionary, the undersigned is
eager to learn from some one that
such an improvement and convenience
is not required.
Respectfully,
I-IKNf.Y C. OR'l'H.
Harrisburg, October 14, 1914.
The Wall Street Journal bitingly re
marks that "Mr. Roosevelt is wrong in
supposing that all a campaign needs
are thick skins and a fat bank roll.
Votes are still indispensable."
Ffyl Musician
is found in every home where a player-piano
is installed.
One's musical taste is bettered by being
able to play the best music.
This is possible to anyone who operates
one of our Winter Player-Pianos—can't we
demonstrate its tone and operation to you?
