DEMOCRATIC MACHINE BEGS STATE LIQUOR
LEADER FOR CASH TO HELP ELECT ITS TICKET
State Chairman Morris Wants
to Put Neil Bonner on the
"Roll of Honor"
UQUOR BOSS LONG THE
FRIEND OF DEMOCRATS
Contributed to 1908 Fund;
Asked to Use Money and
Influence For Democrats
Neil Bonner, the acknowledged
leader of the liquor forces in Penn
sylvania, has been appealed to by Ro
land S. Morris, chairman of the Demo
cratic State committee, to come to the
help of the Palmer-McCormick ma
chine in its last desperate effort to
elect Vance C. MeCormick Governor
of Pennsylvania.
Bonner is the individual referred to
by Evangelist Stough in a recent at
tack upon the liquor interests at
Du Bois.
The letter which appears herewith
is evidently a personal letter, inas
much as it mentions the fact that Bon
ner was on what Morris calls the
"Roll of Honor" in the 1908 campaign
and has evidently been regarded as
one of those who could always be
relied upon to help out with his money
and influence in behalf of Democratic
candidates. This is shown by the fact
that Chairman Morris concludes his
appeal for help from the liquor leader
in this paragraph:
"May I ask you to again enter your
name upon the Honor Roll by sending
me your contribution to the Demo
cratic State campaign fund?"
Notwithstanding this anil other let
ters of similar import, the Democratic
machine bosses are trying in every
way to make the friends of local op
tion believe that they have no alliance
with the liquor interests.
Gives 80 Square Inches
of His Skin to Save
His Friend of a Week
Stewart G. Forney, 434 Harris
Btreet, gave eighty square inches of his
skin yesterday to save the life of Paul
S. Erb, the 13-year-old boy who was
burned on the Fourth of July while
visiting on a farm near Enterline. The
operation was performed by Dr. David
I. Miller.
Mr. Forney did not know the Erb
family until a week ago, but he was
willing to undergo the operation for
the sake ot' his new friend. He did
not take an anesthetic. Young Erb is
reported resting well this morning and
will be able to walk on crutches by
Christmas.

Mr. Manufacturer, newspaper
advertising does not merely
promise possibilities, IT PRO

If it does not you have not
used your opportunities right.
The reason Is simple. News
papers not only reach the peo
ple who buy your product, but
they aIBO influence the dealer J
who sells your product.
They link the dealer's push to
the advertising's pull. SALES

Manufacturers interested in

My dear Mr. Bonner
There is nothing among the archives of the State Commit
ee which I prize more highly -than a list which I like to call the
Roll of Honor containing the mines of all who contributed to Bryan'a
Campaign in 1908 and on which your name appears. Although that cam
paign ended in defeat, it has always marked in my mind the beginning
Of the progressive movement in the organization which resulted in the
splendid Btand Pennsylvania took at Baltimore in 1912. Many of those
connected with the movement in 1908 have lived to see their political
ideals realized under the leadership of President Wilson and Mr. Bryan.
What seemed to be a hopele3S task in Pennsylvania in 1908 is now the
most hopeful opportunity that the Democracy has ever had.
We can elect our candidate for Governor and our candidate for
Onited States Senator, but we need your help and financial assistance
as far as you are able.
May I ask you to again enter your name upon the Honor Roll by
pending me your contribution to the Democratic State Campaign Fund?
Yours very truly,
Chairman

MINISTER TO MEXICO,
IS GIVEN PASSPORTS
Mexican Minister of Foreign Af
fairs Says Disrespectful
Notes Is Cause
By Associated Press
Mexico City, Oct. 31.—Paul May,
Belgian minister to Mexico, was hand
ed his passports yesterday by Minister
of Foreign Affairs Fabella. Senor Isa
bella declared he was compelled to
tal<e this course because of certain
aggressive and disrespectful notes di
rected to the Mexican government by
the Belgian representative.
The minister of foreign affairs
would say nothing regarding the na
ture of the correspondence but it is
i believed that the notes referred to the
operation by the Mexican government
of the property of the Mexico Tram
ways Company.
The tramways company is capital
ized at $60,000,000 in gold and a large
percentage of the stock is held by Bel
gian capitalists. The Mexican gov
ernment took over the property on
October 12 after the employes of the
road had struck, demanding an in
crease in wages. It was understood
at the time that the loads would be
operated by the government for fifteen
days but the government says much a
longer period will be necessary before
a-i adjustment can be accurately
made.
Belgian capital to the extent of $50,-
000,000 also is interested because of
railway concessions had given during
the Huerta regime.

REST OF THE STATE IN LINE
McCormick Will Get the Greatest
Surprise of His Life in Small
ness of His Vote
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Oct. 31. The cam
paign of 1914 is practically over and
those-in a position to know of the
currents and cross-currents of the
situation are strongly of the opinion
that it is going to be a Republican
landslide. While the Democratic ma
chine and its allies of the Bull Moose
party have brought up all their siege
guns and every other weapon, includ
ing the hullabaloo demonstration of
a former President, their campaign
has failed and the mud batteries will
be silenced next Tuesday.
Inside figures which are before me
Indicate a tremendous vote for Dr.
Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate
for Governor, and a substantial ma
jority for Senator Penrose, who has
been the center of attack for months.
Thousands of Democrats will vote
against McCormick by reason of his
practical desertion of Palmer in his
own selfish interests and his fusion
with Pinchot, who has constantly at
tacked the Wilson policies for which
McCormick pretends to stand.
It had been hoped by those in
charge of the Democratic machine
forces that McCormlck's money would
make up for his loss of personal pop
ularity, but he has angered so many
people that no amount of cash will
overcome the widespread resentment.
Colonel Roosevelt's whirlwind tour
has accomplished little except some
stir of enthusiasm among the Bull
Moose element, in favor of Pinchot.
It is not believed that he has helped
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, and some believe his insults
upon Palmer have actually lessened
McCormick's strength among the
Democrats. t R. M. C.

Italy Believed to Be
Preparing to Take More
Definite Stand in War
Dispatches Say That Island of Saseno Has Been Occupied
by Italian Forces; Battle of Give and Take Along
North Sea Continues With Heavy Losses; War Has
Not Yet Been Declared Between Turkey and Russia
Washington, Oct. 31.—The Turkish minister of finance in
formed the French ambassador at Constantinople yesterday that
the raid of Turkish warships on Russian seaports took place
with out the knowledge of the Ottoman government and pre
sumably under the influence of the German officers and crew.
This information was conveyed in a dispatch to-day from Am
bassador orgenthau to the American government.
Mr. Morgenthau added that the Russian ambassador re
ceived instructions at 3 a. m. yesterday to demand his passports
and made an effort to see the grand vizier who peaded illness
and did not receive him.
The Russian, French and British ambassadors, according
to the same dispatch, are preparing to leave Constantinople
together to-night.
Ambassador Morgenthau's disatch made no mention of any
declaration of war nor internal conditions in Turkey. He prob
ably will take over the French and British embassies.
1 lie story of the European war was again slow in the telling
to-day but such fragments of news as the censors permitted to pass
indicated that along the North Sea, the chief point of preseivt con
cern for the nations involved, it was still a battle of give and take.
Of immediate interest was a semi-official note from Rome indicat
ing that Italy might take a more definite stand in the struggle. It is
said that the island of Saseno, commanding the harbor of Avlona,
. vlbania, ownership of which has long been disputed by Greece and
Italy has been seized by Italian forces.
The French war office in to-day's official statement, ac
knowledges that the fiercest German onslaught, shifted a few miles
to the cast and south from the coast, has met with success at points.
Two towns south of Ypres in Belgium, just north of the border are
mentioned by the French as having been captured by the Germans.
Further east, it is said, some ground has been won by the allies.
Along the entire western front, from the sea to Arras the Germans
resumed a general offensive movement, following the slackening
activity of the last few days, but according to the French war office
nothing has been accomplished on either side more than alternate
movements of advance and retreat. Further indefinite claims are
made of gains at other points along the line which stretches south
and east to the Swiss border. No word is spoken to confirm the
unofficial statements of last night, that the Germans had evacuated
Ostcnd.
In the East the battle of millions continues without definite re
sult. An Austrian defeat on the East Prussian front is reported by
the Russian embassy at Washington. The latest word from the Aus
trian government is that reverses have been suffered by the Rus
sians at various points in Galicia.
READY TO LEAVE CONSTANTINOPLE
Turkey's hostile acts against Russia soon may place her at war
with all of the allied powers. It was said at the State Department
in Washington to-day that diplomatic representatives of these pow
ers were preparing to leave Constantinople.
The German point of view of the Russo-Turkish war is presented
