United Business Office, 20S. Editorial Room 585. Job Dept. 201 WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. 2H OX THE FIRING LINE TO-NIGHT the Republicans of Harrisburg and this section will unite in the final rally* of an interesting campaign. Those who gather in the Chestnut street auditorium to hear the orators of the evening discuss live issues will em brace many voters who were aligned with the third party two years ago and scores of Democrats who have tired of the disastrous experimenting at Washington. Harrisburg is one of the centers of a great industrial Commonwealth and It is proper that our citizens should demonstrate in some public manner their feeling toward the party of in capacity and false doctrine that has precipitated upon the country a condi tion of business that is as deplorable as it was unnecessary. Instead of reducing the high cost of living, as was promised throughout the campaign of 1912, and fulfill ing all tho pledges to give legitimate business a chance, the Washington administration has broken its pledges right and left and now comes to the people asking a further commission to. continue its blundering for two years more. Unless all signs fail the voters of Pennsylvania and those throughout the country are preparing to express at the polls In no uncertain way their opinion of Democratic misrule during the last eighteen months. Manifestly, tho awful fear of the de feat that is already casting its shadow across his pathway has taken hold of tho Democratic candidate for Gover nor. He personally called upon the Di rector of Public Safety, in Philadel phia, this week, and begged him to see to it that the Democratic workers re ceive fair play and ample police protec tion at the polls! Tills is the usual pre liminary to an explanation of defeat. Is this preparing the way to a .claim of fraudulent voting and insufficient police protection and all the other awful things which usually happen to a can didate who is beaten? PRIMARY LiAW vioIiATED N his opinion throwing out a couple I of machine Democrats who were placed upon the official ballot in Philadelphia by the Democratic State Committee without consultation with the voters of their particular dis trict, Judge McCarrell has clearly in dicated the essence and spirit of the uniform primary law. His conclusions establish the fact that under th«» present domination of the Democratic party the most arbi trary bossism has prevailed. Pretend ing to favor home rule and wide lati tude of action in party affairs tho toppling Democratic machine has overridden the law, tho party rules and every decent consideration in advanc ing the interests of the machine itself. It was time that the courts should step in and call a halt. It is likewise time that the people should know how much real sincerity there is in the professions of the little men who are now running the Democratic machine into the ground. THE HANDWRITING THERE have been evidences right along since theFllnn-McCormick deal and the sell-out of the Washington party to' the Pal mer-McCormlck faction of the Democ racy of increasingly bitter resentment among Democrats 'of principle throughout the State. It has never beer* quite clear to these Democrats why a fusion dicker of this sort should have been arranged for the sole bene fit of the Democratic candidate for Governor. Nor has it been clear to tho honest voter of the Washington party why McCormick should have the only advantage in the deal. When this unsavory political com pact was entered into by Fllnn and McCormick an intimation was given that in due time A. Mitchell Palmer, the other hand-picked candidate of the White House, would retire in fa vor of Gilford Pinchot, the third party candidate for United States Sen ator. But the final day of withdrawal came and Palmer declined to get out for Pinchot. This was entirely satis- WEDNESDAY EVENING, factory to the Democrats, but most | unsatisfactory to tho Washington party men, who insist that In the In terest of fair play and decency Palmer should have retired for Plnchot. And these Washington party voters are till unable to understand why the Democratic candidate for Governor should be favored as against all other j interests In both parties. Now comes tho denouement. Un til the last moment Flinn expected to pull oft Palmer with the alleged con i nlvance of McCormlck, but Palmer | was stubborn and declined to with | draw. Then followed the outbreak j in the Bull Moose camp and every day since the bitterness has been In- I creasing against Palmer's attitude so j that about all that Is left of the Wash i Ington party has become affiliated with the Republicans. But the worst is yet to come. Pal mer's friends are now insisting that McCormick has maneuvered in such a way as to practically desert Palmer In the hope of winning to himself the support of the Bull Moose faction. No real effort has been made by McCor mick to aid Palmer and it is now strongly Intimated that Palmer him self is becoming suspicious of his side partner—the other White House twin. Palmer refers to Pinchot as a "squat ter" and Colonel Roosevelt declares that Palmer Is not in the flght; that a vote for him is half a vote for Pen rose. The Colonel insists, in addressing his Pennsylvania audiences, that they must choose between Pinchot and Penrose. Of course, this is all very pleasant for Palmer. Judge C. M. Brumm, who failed to get off the official ballot as a Bull Moose candidate for Governor, se verely castigated Palmer in a speech at Pottsville just before the arrival of the Colonel on Monday. "Palmer is lacking in all sense of decency or he would withdraw in favor of Pin chot," exclaimed the Schuylkill jurist raucously. Then he continued: Standing in the way of Pinchot, like a dog In the manger, be is the only obstacle to the overthrow of Penrose and the rejuvenation of the Republican party, and it looks as if his course was dictated from the White House, with a view to con tinued Democratic success two years hence. And thus the rattled fusion schem ers go on their way. Palmer bang ing Pinchot and Pinchot scoring Pal mer and most of the Democrats de nouncing McCormick- as a selfish, in satiably ambitious individual who cares nothing about Palmer or any other friend or Individual when his own personal interests are involved. All of which means, confirming the investigation of the most astute po litical writers of the metropolitan newspapers, that the Republican ticket will be overwhelmingly elected next Tuesday, and the party of prosperity and progress and constructive achieve ment will continue its splendid work for the people of Pennsylvania and the entire country. A DEMOCRATIC REVOLT POLITICAL observers whose judg ment amounts to something are of the opinion that the Palmer- McCormick combine in this State jwas organized and has been pro moted for no other purpose than the building up of a selfish personal ma chine which these two men might dominate. But Palmer feels the car pet slipping from beneath him and McCormick is ready to betray his party associates as he has done in other campaigns since his entrance into the political arena. Friends of Webster Grim, the reg ular Democratic nominee for Gover nor; the supporters of John- A. Fritchey, the Democratic nominee for Mayor of Harrisburg; William B. Mil ler, another Democratic nominee for Mayor; friends of the late Dr. Charles B. Fager, for many years a pillar in the school system of the city; the enthusiastic backers of Mr. Ryan, the Democratic competitor of McCormick in the May primary, who could get no assurance from Mc- Cormick that Ryan would be sup ported by him in the event of his nomination, and scores of other reg ular Democrats have not forgotten that the present Democratic candidate for Governor has always reserved to himself the right to cut his ticket and they are now of the opinion that what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander. In short, Democrats all over Penn sylvania who have supported the party's nominees in all kinds of weather are not particularly enthusias tic over the White House selection for the gubernatorial office in Pennsyl vania this year, which is one reason why the McCormick cause has been slumping so seriously where it was expected there would be strong Demo cratic support. It has been openly asserted by many Democrats that for every Republican that votes for Mc- Cormick two Democrats will vote against him. His arbitrary course right through from the beginning has alienated individuals and groups of Individuals In every county of the State. These are now preparing to settle old scores. JUDICIAL VAUDEVILLE IT wasn't enough that tho cotton growers of the South should strive to involve the whole country in a financial cataclysm for their own benefit nor that the Congress of the United States should be held up in an effort to open the treasury and up set the financial balance that these same cotton growers might profit. Now comes a fine spectacle of judicial tomfoolery as a further evidence of the cotton-growing epidemic down South. Newspaper dispatches state that three Justices of the Mississippi Su preme Court sat on the bench Monday clad In blue overalls, hickory shirts and jumpers with cotton handker chiefs around their necks and so at tired handed down decisions. These judges wished to show that they were imbued with the spirit of "cotton day" and felt that by wearing overalls and jumpers made of cotton they would assist In emphasizing the Importance of the "wear cotton clothes" move In the South. An assistant attorney gen eral also appeared In overalls and made oral arguments before theso Jus tices. We may now expect to see judgps In Pennsylvania toting a bag of wheat on their backs when they ascend the Bench or lugging In a piece of armor plate or some steel product as evi dence of their sympathy with the de pressed agricultural and industrial in dustries of Pennsylvania. 1 EVENING CHAT I Harrlsburg has two Infallible signs that winter is approaching aside from the feverish political activity and the wearing of light overcoats. These signs are the stealthy manner in which boys are approaching store boxes and barrels which are of right size and dryness to serve for election bonfires and the other is the appearance of announcements of those delectable fall delicacies, scrapple and cornmeal mush. The bonfire habit has sort of died out lately around election time, but it is threatened with revival largely he cause the political clubs have renewed their old-time way of parading and that gives the boys an excuse to stay out in the evenings and to whoop it up. There are evidently going to be some bonfires next Tuesday no matter who wins. As for the delicacies, 'ponhaus has been around for some time. Just like oysters, but no one likes them until the frost is on the pumpkin like it was yesterday morn ing. Now we can eat sausage, buck wheat cakes and other things to our heart's content and have a line time. Jack Frost's been around. Harrisburg people will be interested to know that the commander of the Tenth Infantry, which is the major portion of the United States garrison in the canal zone, is Colonel S. W. Miller, who was stationed in this city as commander-.of the recruiting office some years ago. Colonel Miller comes from Huntingdon and spent some time in charge of the Central Pennsylvania recruiting, which boomed under his direction. A good story is being told of an up town man which illustrates how he can. be made the victim of an innocent mistake. This man got shaved one evening and was followed on the chair by a neighbor. When he had made himself comfortable at home he was aroused by a hurried visit from the aforesaid neighbor, who appeared to •be much upset about something. "Did you get shaved just ahead of me ? ' he asked. • "Yes, what of it?" said man first shaved. "That's what I wanted to know." "Well, you know. What's ailing you?" "Look in your coat pocket." "What for?" "Weil, I put my scarf pin and collar in some other fellow's coat pocket when I got ready to get shaved. Your coat was hanging oil the hook near mine. Look, won't you." Man shaved first looked and to his amazement pulled out collar, tie and scarf pin. He did not know he had it and the other man hod been standing on his head trying to find his property. Miss Emma MacAlarney, formerly ?i was on a lecture tour through some of the oentrai counties, speaking before women's clubs, this fall and found that she had a capti vating way. In one town where Miss MacAlarney was a guest of the wom en s club she visited at the home of one of the members and the family dog, a fine collie, took a great shine to hei and insisted on following hei about. When she gave her address the dog was duly on hand, quiet, but observant. In the course of her remarks the speaker took occasion to emphasize something and the audience applauded with vigor. When the handclapping ended the dog, delighted at seeing so much appreciation, walked gravely to the platform and put up his paw for "a shake. ' The meeting of the Engineers' So ciety to-night will be one of the most important of the series to be held this fall because the membership will be asked to give its support to the effi ciency and welfare conference to be held here next month.

BRUMBAUGH AND THE PEOPLH [From the Altoona Tribune 1 Notwithstanding the terrific on slaught of the McCormlck partisans or ! rather in spite of it. Dr. Brumbaugh I continues to grow stronger with the voters of Pennsylvania. They recog nize that there is absolutely no foun dation for the insinuations or charges of his political enemies, and they have nothing but contempt for the sort of I politics that pats an illustrious and I useful citizen on the back with one I hand while stabbing him with a poi-I soned weapon held in ,the other They' realize the baseness and the turpitude of such conduct and some who had not meant to support the Republican standard-bearer have fallen into line because they resent the emplovment of such tactics. Men like Martin O. Brum baugh are a valuable asset to Pennsyl vania and the vote he will receive on election day will be the worthy and emphatic comment of the people upon the policy by his enemies.

THAT'S BRUMBAUGH > i i r HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ONLY ONE WATCHER GiVEN BY BOSSES Democrats Get a Chill Over Sudden Change in Plans of the State Machine TAKEN AS A GREAT BLUFF One Moore Adds to the Troubles of the Democrats; Roose velt Due Tomorrow Members of the Democratic city and county committees are wondering if It can be true that the McCormlck ma- I chine Is going to pay for only one | watcher in each precinct. The city committeemen were given a hint that there was not going to be a generous handout of cash when Chairman Moes lein addressed them Monday night in the Central club, but few were pre pared for the word, said to have come from Division Boss Henry B. McCor mlck himself, asking if they could get along with one watcher to a precinct. Among many of the Democrats, who thought they were In sight of the promised land and were sure of Christ mas money, the news caused a chill and spread like Ice after a January rain. To some it sounded like an ad mission of defeat, to which much was added when it became known that the usually joyous, irresponsible James I. Blakslee predicted that McCormlck would have only 50,000 majority. Gen erally you have to divide what Blakslee says by ten. Some of the party workers refused to pay any attention to the "money for one watcher only" story last night and said that It was Intended to make men scale down their demands. "The McCormlcks ain't tightwads when an election's on," said one man. "Some one's running a bluff. The money's there and it'll be put out." There never has been any sign of lack of cash around the Democratic State headquarters, either when It was violating the principle of Democratic rule by boosting McCormick for the nomination against Ryan or after the campaign got started in August. Hundreds of Democrats and some independents were saying hard things about William H. Berry, former State Treasurer and now the fat-salaried collector Berry Gives of the port of Phila- Cold Shoulder delphla, last night and to Our Town to-day because he failed to show up for the "mass" meeting of 200 persons scheduled for Kelker Street Hall. Berry was advertised to speak, but went to Carlisle Instead. Why, no one explained. The Central Democratic Club turned out 83 high hats and a band and the Pa-Mc League 43 slouch hats and the usual accom paniment of banner bearers who ought to have been in bed if the child labor laws were enforced as demanded by McCormick when away from home. Mayor Royal was dragged from his fireside to preside and Jesse J. Ly barger led the applause. The "parade" of 130 helped nil the hall. Democrats all over the State, and men of other parties, too, are discuss ing with considerable zest the manner in which Judge S. J. M. McCarrell decided that the rules of the Conventions Democratic State com- May Be Held mittee were not in ac- in tlie State cord with the letter or spirit of the primary act. It was the first important decision under the act of 1913 and the clarity of the opinion is renjarked ljy many. The judge found that the Democratic committee had arrogated to itself pow ers to which it had no right and the Washington party is In the same boat. The interesting thing Is that the Judge held that the act did not abolish con ventions and rather intimated that they could be held if parties desired thein to be the supreme representa tives of the voters. A man named John Moore, of Lan caster, came to Harrisburg last night to make a speech at a Democratic • mass meeting of 200 per sons and to-day the most Creasy popular air among the Gets u Democrats is the "Burial Clout of John Moore." Mr. Moore gave "Farmer" Creasy, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, a tierce backhander. Among other things Mr. Moore said that McCor mick would be elected Governor by 100,000 majority. This caused Jim Blakslee, who had stretched things by saying 50,000, to sink lower In his chair. Then Moore got going right. He usked In dramatic tones where was Frank McClain when the Capitol was being looted. And when he got down some man back in the audience snickered and said audibly: "Why, he was in the same House of Repre sentatives with 'Farmer' Creasy. They occupied the same position in the State ~ government. Why don't some one give these Democratic orators the right dope?" Ira J. Mosey, chairman of the rem nant of the Dauphin county Bull Moosers. has named a committee to meet Colonel Roosevelt when he arrives to morrow. The big halls Roosevelt of the city have been Is Coming engaged for to-mor- To-morrow row's meetings and there will be a mighty gathering of all Moosers from ten counties in order to make a show ing, It being recognized that the Dau phin and Cumberland strength would not. look well. The terrific frost at the Democratic meeting in Kelker street hall last night has caused some alarm and every effort to get out a crowd will be made. An interesting fact about the committee of welcome | is that it contains the name of H. B. McCormick. I POLITICAL SIDELIGHTS —The Colonel has been getting the same great crowds, but things are different this year. He's not running. —Jim Blakslee lost his laurels as a jester to one Moore last night.

A MAN By Winn Dinger I've just been jacking up a bit my mem ory On Kipling's poem, which I'm sure you know. Entitled "IF," in which the poet clearly Defines the path a sterling man must go. And as I read It. I can't keep from thinking How all those qualities that are de fined— In Martin Brumbaugh, candidate for Governor. Without exception seem to be com * blned. He seems to keep his head when all about him Are losing theirs, and blaming it on him. And he can wait and not be tired of waiting Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hat ing, Nor does he try to talk to folks too wise. And he can bear to hear the truth he's spoken Twisted by knaves that they may gain the prize. It seems to me that when we choose a Governor' We should make certain he's a sterl ing man, And on the chap who's slave to cold ambition We ought to do our all to place a ban. And If you'll turn to Kipling's poem, as I have. And candidates for Governor one by one Compare with every line, you'll llnd that Brumbaugh Best tills the bill, so vote for him, my son. THE TARIFF AM) THE WAR [Philadelphia Bulletin.] Possibly the war in Europe and its effect on international commerce may obscure or largely prevent the defi nition of the Democratic tariff bill as a factor in the present business and Industrial situation, as Congressman Palmer hopefully declares, but it cannot wipe out the record which was written in the customs houses of the 1 country before the war broke out, and for which the tariff bill and other domestic policies of this adminis tration must assume their full respon sibility. There has been made by the Boston Commercial Bulletin an interesting compilation of foreign trade figures, comparing the business of the United States for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1914—before the war was in sight —with that of the previous year, which serves to put the tariff issue in a nutshell, regardless of any evasive discussion of words whether or not the Underwood bill is a "free trade" meas ure. As a matter of record in the year ending June 30, 1914, the United States imported eighty million dollars' worth of foreign products more than in the previous year, and in the same period sold one hundred million dol lars less of its own products to for eign countries. That is to say that tho combined home and foreign mar ket for the American producer and worker was one hundred and eighty million dollars less In the year in which the Underwood tariff was in operation than in the previous year, which in itself is quite enough to cause an industrial depression without the contributing Influence of a war em bargo. Pursuing the analysis of the record further, the Commercial Bulletin draws attention to other interesting facts. Imports of luxuries decreased in that year of the Democratic tariff, in works of art, automobiles, hand made lace and embroideries, feathers, plumes, precious stones, etc., which chiefly were not competitive with American products. The Increase came in the more ordinary necessary com modities of trade, in breadstufts, cot ton goods, glassware, leather, gloves and shoes, paper, silk, wool and woolen goods, accentuating the Injury done to the occupation of the Ameri can producer. South America, whose trade the American manufacturer is now frantically urged to seek, bought twenty-two million dollars less of us in the year of the Underwood tariff than in the previous year; Canada bought seventy-one million dollars less and sent forty million dollars' worth more of her goods into this country. This is the tariff issue as It was be fore the war. and as it will be after the war. It Is the tariff Issue cleared of the fog of war, and Is a statement of fact and of record which cannot easily be contraverted.

WINTER <sc CO. 23 North Fourth Street v > Plain Letters by a Plain Man L_ 1 ; Messrs. Vance C. McCormick and A. Mitchell Palmer, Gentlemen: In his recent letter endorsing all Democratic Congressmen for re election, President Wilson says: "The Democratic party is now the only instrument ready to the country's hand by which anything can be accomplished." Is this not rather a slightly in flated claim? If Democracy's rule Is so esential whence the half century of our na tion's progress and prosperity, un exampled In the worlds history, during all which time, with the ex ception of a very few years, the Democratic party was a nonentity as regards national management? The President proceeds to predict party victory because "Every thoughtful man sees that a change of parties just now would set the clock back, not forward." The same old story—Democracy, having had a taste of office holding, likes the taste and proposes to hold on like a leech! But there are multitudes of "thoughtful" men who do not fancy Democratic notions in the matter of clock fixing. It was many years ago when Democracy was accidentally in power for a short time, that Thomas B. Reed stood on the floor of the House of Representatives and Hung Into the faces of its Democratic ma jority the declaration— "You can't last long, because you are not accustomed to govern ing anybody or anything; you cannot govern the country: you cannot goyern yourselves; you are incompetent." Was Heed's assertion true? Evidently the voters of the United States thought so then for, with the following elections. Democracy faded out of national power and remained In political banishment ever since until a di vision of the majority party, In 1912, gave it the opportunity to execute quack and fantastic schemes for which the majority of our people never voted. Is Democracy equally incom petent to-day? To judge by its present vagaries no skilled photographer ever pro duced a nipre truthful picture than Reed's description of that party WHY WOMEN LIKE THIS INSTITUTION A large number of women are depositors with this institution, this being due to the fact they they know that their banking needs will meet prompt attention and they themselves will be given the utmost courtesy.
