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. Dr. John Price
£., s , c l n • P'' es 'dent, expects the
exhibits to be the largest ever at
tempted in the city.
The romance of Robert W. Daniel
and Mrs. Eloise Hughes Smith, who
were thrown together when the Titanic
sank, and who have just been married,
will interest a number of Harrisburc
f"? years ago Mr. Daniel

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.

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. The
best Jim could give was 50,000. Moore
doubled him.
—greasy ought to take time to write
Moore a letter.
—Edwin S. Stuart will speak for
Brumbaugh In Philadelphia to-mor
row.
—The Bull Moose legislative candi
dates will put out a legislative plat,

—Just 271,106 voters have qualified
to vote in Philadelphia.
—Palmer said yesterday that Pen
rose had been rejected at the pri
maries in spite of the fact that he had
a tremendous majority over Dimmick.
That sounds like the Patriot claim of
2,000 majority for McCormick In
Erie.

sonal Liberty would satisfy anyone
except his Democrat!" -»'lval. . ,

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.

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
