DRAGGING IN NAME OF T. R.
Last Desperate Effort of Fusion
ists Is Doomed to
Failure
Special iff The Telegraph
Wilkes-Barre. Oct. 20. After a
thorough canvass of a large part of
the State and talking with men of all
parties I am persuaded that the cam
paign from now to the end simply
meona an increase of the majority for
the Republican ticket. There can be
no doubt about the result after an
Investigation of the conditions In all
sections of Pennsylvania.
In my interviews with the potential
leaders of the principal parties here
and there it has developed that the
third party movement is practically
negligible. Thousands of. Colonel
Roosevelt's followers have ceased to
regard the Washington party as any
thing more than an, annex to the
Palmer-McCormick wing of the Dem
ocracy. And this fact has had a tre
mendous bearing upon the changed
conditions everywhere. Voters who
two years ago were enthusiastic ad
herents of the Bull Moose cause are
now outspoken in their support of the
Republican ticket.

Of course, there are still a few rad
ical Bull Moosers who are hopeful

American Shoes
March Forward
When It was reported that one

equipped with American shoes, it
was remarked that "these shoes
would only march forward."
In an Industrial sense Ameri

Fall to a greater extent than
ever.
Demand Is heavy and factories
busy.
Just now the stores are show
ing the Fall styles—all of them
creditable to our American shoe
makers.
But for your Individual need
some shoes are better than

Majorities For Ticket Are Pre

Districts In the eastern part of Dau

some majorities for the Republican
ticket this Fall.
This was made evident last evening
at Republican rallies In the lower
end of the county, where Republican
committeemen from the surrounding
country reported to County Chairman
Horner.
That district Is feeling very keenly
the hard times due to the Democratic
mistakes at Washington, and the
voters are demanding a change. For
Instance, the quarries at Hockersville
are almost at a standstill, due to the
business depression throughout tho
land, and many men are out of work
or employed only part of the time.
Whereas, under the Taft Administra
tion the quarries there turned out and
shipped dally twenty-six cars of lime a
week, now only ten cars are being
shipped. Under Republican rule

Harrisburg Folks Take
Look at the Comet's
10-Million-Mile Tail
About 150 persons gathered in the
park at Front and Forster streets at
6.30 last evening and with opera
glasses, field glasses, binoculars and a
three-Inch telescope viewed the Dela
van comet. It was visible to the un
aided eye, though no longer so bright
as it was two weeks or more ago,
when nearest the earth.
The head of the comet Is now about
250,000 miles in diameter. Thirty
globes as big as the earth, placed side
by side like beads on a string, would
fall Just a little short of spanning the
width of the comet's head. The tall,
which extended northward several de
grees, Is about 10,000,000 miles long.

Lew Dockstader Wants to Know
Why Mill Town's Smokestacks
Aren't Puffing as of Yore
Lew Dockstader, the black faco
minstrel man, who has been coming
to Harrlsburg off and on for the last
twenty years, says Steelton is the
"cleanest" town he ever saw.
"Steelton is the cleanest town I ever
saw," declared Lew, this morning.
"Why there Isn't a bit of smoke con
taminating the atmosphere. And I
didn't see a dirty man about one of
the mills as X came through on the
train. Fact is, I didn't see anybody,
clean or dirty. What's the matter with
that burg anyway? Why, X remem
ber the time when the smoke was
coming out of those chimneys so fast
that the sky over Steelton put the
blackest face I could make up to
shame."
It was expi -ined to Mr. Dockstader
that the Democratic tariff and the
war has played havoc with the busi
ness of the lower end mill town.
"If something isn't done pretty soon
to make business better in this coun
try, I'm going out of the show business
and rent a peanut stand," said Lew.
Dockstader is at the Orpheum this
week.

By Associated Press
Washington, Oct. 20.—The United
States should draw from the European
war a lesson regarding its own con
duct, said ex-President William H.
Taft in an address here to-day be
fore the American Bar Association.
In discussing the charges of violation
of treaties by European nations, Mr.
Taft said that this country should put
itself in such a position that it could
fulfill to the letter the obligations Im
posed by Its treaties, and he recom
mended legislation to that end.
In his address, delivered as presi
dent of the American Bar Association,
Mr. Taft also said that the Progressive
party was reparting from "the prepos
terous nostrum" of the recall of judi
cial decisions because It apparently
had become a burden to the party.
In speaking of the European war,
Mr. Taft said that President Wilson
should have the warmest approval and
slncerest co-operation in his efforts to
maintain the strict neutrality of this
country.

Nominee
Special to The Telegraph
Huntingdon, Pa., Oct. 20.—Hunt
ingdon county will give Judge George
Ku«kel a handsome majority for State
Supreme Court judge. The sentiment
is strongly In his favor. Many promi

Thomas F. Bailey, a well-known
member of the Huntingdon county
bar and a director of the First Na
tional Bank of Huntingdon, says:
"Judge Kunkel has always stood very
high in the opinion of the bar of
Pennsylvania. The judgment of the
people both in him and in the courts
was put in severe test at the time of
the trial of the Capitol graft cases,
where it was thought by many lawyers
that the courts .would show subserv
iency to political influence. Judge
Kunkel's reputation came through
that ordeal unscathed, and was
brighter at the end of the trial than
at the beginning."

Germans' Plan to Find
New Route to Paris Is
Frustrated by Allies
British Naval Forces Arc Supporting Left Wing of Army
Which Extends to English Channel; Japan Occupies
More German Islands For Military Purposes; Husre
Conflict in Progress Along Vistula River
That the allies are frustrating the attempt of the reinforced
extreme right wing of the German army to skirt the English Channel
ports with the supposed object of finding a new rout to Paris, is in
dicated by the French official statement give out this afternoon
which asserts that the Belgian army is maintaining its position on
the river Yres.
Further actions, the statement adds, are being fought betweerf
the allies and the Germans in the region Yres, Belgium. From Yres
the allied left wing extends to the English channel where it is being
supported by British naval forces.
Along the remainder of the 360-milc battle front stretching from
the North Sea to Switzerland, where the defenders and the invaders
have been deeply entrenched for thirty-seven days, the only activity
noted is that in the region of the Meuse river where heavy fighting
goes 011 incessantly principally in the vicinity of Camp Des Romains.
French batteries at St. Mihiel, south of Verdun, are reported to
have destroyed an entire battery of German artillery which had been
particularly active in sweeping the French positions.
There is a dearth of news from German sources concerning the
operations of Emperor William's forces either in France or in Rus
sia.
A huge conflict is in progress along the Vistula river, in Russian
Poland. Dispatches from Petrograd declare that after fierce fighting
to the west of Warshaw the Germans have been driven back towards
their main positions on a line from Skiernewice, near Lodz, to
Sandomir, on the Galician border.
GERMAN ISLANDS OCCUPIED
Russian official reports say that large forces of Austrians crossed
the river San have been repulsed.
In the Pacific ocean Japan has occupied "for military purposes"
the German islands in the Archipelagos of Marshall, Marianne and
Caroline. The groups lie from 1,000 to 1,700 miles east of the Philip
pines, and include the American island of Guam. The occupation
of Yap, one of the Caroline islands, gives Japan control for the Ger
man cable station which connects China with the Malay Archi
pelago.
Tokio officially announces that the German torpedo boat S-90,
after escaping under cover of darkness from Tsing Tau, ran ashore
at a point south of Kiao Chow bay and was destroyed by the Japan
ese blockading squadron. It was the S-90, according to a message
from Tsing Tau, which sunk the Japanese cruiser Takachiho.
Advices from Bucharest, Rumania, by way of Berlin, reiterate
earlier reports that a big Russo-Turkish naval engagement has been
fought in the Black Sea.
James W. Gerard, the American ambassador at Berlin has suc
ceeded in arranging for the release and departure of all Englishmen
in Germany over 55 years of age. Similar exchanges have been
arranged for the nationals of France and Austria.
King George and Queen Mary returned to London to-day from
Sandringham.
Berlin announces that the German warships sunk a British sub
marine in the North Sea, last Sunday.
Commission Recognizes
Depressed Conditions
Washington, D. C., Oct. 20.—The
Interstate Commerce Commission to
day officially recognized "depressed
market conditions" in deciding a case
involving grain rates from Montana
to eastern destinations begun by the
Railroad Commission of that state
against various northwestern roads.
The commission held "that the rea
sonableness or unreasonableness of
freight rates cannot be guaged solely
by the ability or inability of shippers
under depressed market conditions to
market their products with profit un
der existing rates."
It further was held that the rates
assailed were not unreasonable.
