McCormick, Democratic candidate for Governor, tries desper ately to-day to dodge responsibility for the settlement of damage suits against the Sonman Shaft Coal Com pany, of Cambria county, brought by widows and families of Ave workmen who lost their lives in that mine through defective machinery. Mr. McCormick tries to make It appear that he was not a responsible officer of that company and therefore had nothing to do with its affairs. But the court records show that he was treasurer and director of the Son man Shaft Coal Company, and Judge Singleton Bell, of Clearfield, in a let ter to Senator Beidleman shows that this company was organized in a way that was purposely intended to evade the payment of damages for injuries sustained In the mine.

A The Real Test of Value Publishers of magazines and periodicals of a general nature are frequent newspaper adver tisers. They recognize the dally news paper as the medium to use when they want to make actual sales of their product. Announcements in the news papers send people to the stands I to buy the publications. In Just the same way the ad vertising of nny National product In the newspapers sends custom ers to the local retailers to make actual purchases. Of all forms of advertising one equals the newspaper for aklng sales.

FRIEND LIKE STOP-LOOK—LISTEN ' TONIGHT the mobilization of the voters of Pennsylvania and nation will have been completed. For months the IKMICS of the campaign have L>een presented to the people and It must be assumed that all intelligent per sons are thoroughly informed as to what Is Involved In the election of to-morrow. There is little excuse for any misunderstanding of the situation. Fucli voter must share the responsibility of the outcome and it is for him to determine when he enters the polling place what Is best for this country and the State. WHY are there hundreds of honest laboring people idle in Harrisbiirg and upwards of .1,000,000 in the United States? WHY are factories and railroad shops running half time? WHY are the earnings of railroads reduced to a point where they can not pay dividends? WHY are our earnings less and cost of living higher? WHY are we assessed with what is called a WAH TAX when we are at peace with the ,-vorld? WHY' has the government income been reduced, making u special WAH TAX necessary? WHY all tills Idleness and loss in government income in 1911? WHY the loss of the industry and prosperity which we enjoyed up to twelve months ago? WHY was the business depression said to be psychological before August Ist, and later charged to thv war? THERE IS A REASON The Democratic party got possession of the Executive and Legislative branches of our government March 1913, and changed our tariff system from a protective to a NEAR FREE TRADE basis, and put our workmen and manufacturers In direct competition with foreign labor—so cents per day in Euro(te; 7 cents per day in China, The War in Europe is not the cause—THAT is an excuse for the result of Democratic legislation. VOTE THIC REPUBLICAN TICKET and put an end to GOVERNMENT BY EXPERIMENT, and restore con fidence, wages and prosperity. WHAT WILL PENNSYLVANIA DO? Here In Pennsylvania the Issues have been obscured so fur as It was possible for the Democratic machine to obscure tlicin by u campaign of misrepresentation, abuse and hypocrisy such as lias never been known hi this Commonwealth. Notwithstanding the State-wide primary system advocated and enacted Into law with the aid of the very forces which have violated its spirit in the first open election the Palmer-McCormlck machine has striven lii every way to mislead the people and to secure an endorsement of the fallacies of the Washington administration by the election of the two men foisted upon the voters or Pennsylvania by the man in the White House. While pretending to direct their assault against Senator Penrose they have actually been scheming in every way to get control of the State government In order to build up a machine that might be used in continu ing Democratic control at Washington for four years after tfaifi. Dr. Murtin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate for Governor, has gone before the people on a straight forward declaration of principles as progressive as any candidate ever proclaimed as Ids pledge to the people. He has discussed intelligently and frankly the questions which are now uppermost in the thoughts of all Pcnn-> sylvanians. Especially luvs lie been outspoken and strong In Ills support of the local option proposition. He is acquainted with the needs of the State and Is fitted as few men are to administer the affairs of the Common wealth to the satisfaction of all the people. Dr. Brumbaugh is a native of Huntingdon county. He was born upon a farm and as a boy and In his youth worked on the farm to earn his daily bread, lie was educated in the schools of the State and throughout a long period of years has given splendid service to the causA of education. He was sent to the island of Porto Rico by President McKUiley to establish the American system of education there. His has been a life dcvote<l to high Ideuls of public service. He belongs to the plain people anil under stands their needs and sympathises with them In their struggles. Dr. Brumbaugh deserves the supjiort or every voter who believes that a man shoul il be judged by what lie has done and not by what lie promises to do. DR. BRUMBAUGH'S ENDORSERS Such men as John Wannmaker, Rev. Dr. Gray Bolton, Rnfus W. Miller. J. Levering Jones, Rev. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins, Francis V. Reeves, Cyrus H. K. Curtis and scores of others or like char acter and standing In Pennsylvania have endorsed Dr. Brumbaugh, stating Uiat they "believe that the temper ance voters or Pennsylvania in voting r«r Dr. llruiiibuugli will be pluelng In the Executive Chamber of Harris burg a man who will be a perfect Gibraltar of strength not only In the great local option movement, but to every other moral reform as well." These same men in an OJKII letter "To the Christian Workers of Pennsylvania" make this brief statement: We sincerely deplore any action that may divide the real Mends of temperance or cause any radical de parture from the fundamental position of the Anti-Saloon League, which was designed to be "unsectarlan" and "omnlpartisan" in its character. The attempt to array the temperance forces of this State against Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the can didate ror Governor on one or the three great party tickets now berore the people, we regard not only as most unwise, but also as grossly unjust. Every effort has been made by the backers of tile Democratic machine to throw dust in the eyes of the voters in the hope that they will not discover the truth until too late. But the light lias been turned on and the duplicity of this machine lias been discovered In time to o|»en the eyes or all voters who want to sec.

MONDAY EVENING, N OVEMBER 2, 1914. 12 PAGES Deadlock Prevails Along 300 Mile Battle Line on French and Belgian Soil Official Reports From Berlin and Paris Agree on Present Situation; Emperor William Says Enemy Will Be Beaten "Under All Circumstances"; Berlin Is Pleased With Progress German Army Has Made During Past Few Days; Allies Have Repulsed Many Attacks The renewed assaults of the Germans, which have led in the last few days to the most violent fighting of the war, are still progress ing with fury almost unparalleled, but there have been no changes of importance at any point along the 300-mile line of battle. Official reports to-day from Berlin and Paris agree that the deadlock still prevailed. Here and there minor advantages have been won but the main positions are being held on both sides with dogged tenacity, notwithstanding the bitterness of the fighting and the enormous sacrifices of life. The confidence of Germany as to the ultimate result is reflected in the words of Emperor William. "Under all circumstances the enemy will be beaten," he said in addressing one of his regiments. Berlin states officially that the situation is regarded as the most favorable for some time, although it gives no new details of the fighting. The French statement is equally hopeful in tone. The allies are said to have made slight progress at various points, in cluding the blood-soaked fields of Flanders, in the vicinity of Dix mude. On the center and right of the allied lines assaults of the Germans are said to have been repulsed. The German and Austrian forces in the east, compelled to retire before the Russian advance have taken up new positions and a re newal of general fighting impends. Austrian successes on the Rus sian left flank arc claimed in Berlin. Apparently Turkey is now definitely involved in the general war. What the allies described as the "last chance" for Turkey to keep out of the struggle by disavowing responsibility for tha-acts of her Black Sea fleet has not been accepted and the Britishgovern ment to-day handed his passports to the Turkish amba«4s|(Por, fol lowing similar action by Russia. Meanwhile the Turkish tieet con tinues its acts of aggression. The Goeben and Breslau, German cruisers acquired by Turkey, and four Turkish torpedoboats are re ported to have renewed their bombardment of Russian towns in the Crimea. The presence is reported of Turkish gunboats at the en trance of Gulf of Suez and Turkish troops at an Arab village on the gulf. Bulgaria, faced with the bitter alternative of opposing her former protector, Russia, or fighting with her enemies, Greece and Servia, if such joins in the war, has decided, according to a message from Sofia, to remain neutral. No word has been received regarding the decision of Greece and Rumania, whose participation in the war is regarded as not unlikely, on account of the actions of Turkey. Heavy fighting has been resumed along the Austro-Servian bor der. According to official advices from Vienna, the Austrians cross ed the Save and Drina rivers, drove back the enemy and occupied several towns. This is disputed by Servians, who state that the Aus trian attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. All accounts agree that the loss of life in the fighting of the last fortnight has been tremendous, owing presumably to the fact that the fighting has been largely in the open, exposing large bodies of troops to the deadly work of modern instruments of war. The long dispute over the indemnity which the city of Brussels is to pay the Germans has been settled, Berlin reports. The amount is said to have been fixed at $9,000,000. In New York active preparations were under way to give relief to Belgium's starving people. It was expected that the first relief ship provided for by the Rockefeller Foundation, would sail to morrow. MAY REACHES VERA CRUZ By Associated Press Vera Cruz. Nov. 2.—Paul May, the Belgian minister at Mexico City, who wut, given his passports by the govern ment because of an alleged indiscreet protest regarding the treatment of a Belgian citizen, arrived in Vera Cruz last night.
