DESPERATE EFFORT
OF M'CORMICK TO
car HOME TOWN
Beautiful Day Brings Out "Stay
at-Home" Voters in Large
Numbers
HEAVY VOTE FOR KUNKEL
Many Cast Their Ballots Before
8 O'clock in Some
Precincts
Vance C. McCormick, candidate for
governor on the mule ticket, was
making the effort of his life in Har
risburg to-day to hold his home town
and a multitude of watchers, a well
lubricated machine, and captains of
politics conversant with every Dem
ocratic scheme and reinforced by Bill
Flinn methods, were aiding him. Tho
great McCormick machine, built up
by personal effort, money and abuse.
Is working at its best to-day, not only
in Dauphin, but in Cumberland and
Perry counties and probably In every
other county where the Little Boss
has followers. However, the supreme
effort ig being made here at home be
cause if a candidate Is defeated in
the State and beaten at home, sorry
indeed is his plight. This is one cam
paign in this section.
Judge George Kunkel, known
throughout the whole State as an up
right judge, endorsed by men without
regard to party, is being supported by
admirers, neighbors and friends with
out raising a hand. The people of
Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry
counties are lined up back of Kunkel
and voting for him as a duty they
owe to their state. That is another
campaign in this section.
Voting Very Heavy.
A brilliant sun came over the
eastern hills this morning and ushered
in an autumn day that is as unusual
as the campaign which is being
ended. The weather was all that
could be desired and the most chronic
stay-at-home voter could not find it
in him to miss voting. The duties
of the men who have to go around
and pull doorbells out by the roots
and worry telephone operators Into
getting voters' attention were light.
The voters came out. They arc in
terested and the weather is line. Z*
All throughout the city the voting
was heavy and early. By 8 o'clock
there were big votes polled and men
were predicting record breaking to
tals. In some city districts the work
ers found that they had little to do
except think of what they will show.
Incidentally, the thoughts of some
McCormick men were not pleasant.
In Steelton the Industrial depression
is keen and Democratic vote 9 were
slim. Pride in a Democratic candi
date although he lives in the county
does not go far against an empty din
ner pail.
The county reported lively voting,
especially in the upper end.

Then Gives Examples
As a justification of his sensational
style of preaching. Dr. Stough last
night declared that the Hible, from
the first chapter to the last, is the
most sensational book ever written;
then he recalled examples of the ul
tra-sensational methods used by the
prophets and great teachers as re

is "not in it," when compared with
them.
Dr. Stough illustrated his eccentric
ways during his discourse by slang
expressions, funny remarks that drew
applause and roars of laughter, and
by physical "stunts," such as lying
at full length on the floor, jumping
off the r»ar side of the platform, and
accidentally stumbling over the small
stand that supports his Bible, after
which he said he hoped his audience
was not too much shocked because
he will have some more shocking
things to say and perform at the

He took as his text the twenty
seventh verse of the first chapter of
First Corinthians, "God hath chosen
the foolish things of the world to

CITY GETS MM
BED CROSS SIMPS
FOR DISTRIBUTION
Preliminary Plans For Christinas
Campaign Will Be Outlined
This Evening
Coincident with the closing to-night
of one great State-wide campaign an
other crusade, national instead of
State-wide, will be opened when pre
liminary steps for launching the 1014
Red Cross Christmas seai sale are
discussed by the general committee
at the residence of the chairman, John
Fox Weiss.
Mr. Weiss_ who headed the campaign
last year which placed Harrisburg
among the record-breakers of cnie3
of the count!y for number of stamps
sold, has called the committee to
meet at 7:45 o'clock. Because of the
fact that it is election night, however,
the session will be very brief.
Harrisbu»g has already received its
first consignment of the Christmas
seals—3oo,ooo —the largest numner
ever handled in the initial conaiijn
ment. Mr. Weiss says he is confident
that all the seals will be disposed of
by Christmas.
The general campaign plan will be
similar to that of last year when a
score of different ideas were followed
out successfully. The public schools,
the secret societies, the Boy Scouts'
organizations, the churches and the
merchants of the city and the subur
ban towns will be among the avenues
in which Harrisburg's general com
mittee will dispose of its stamps.
Chief among this year's campaign
features will be the series of "Mer
chants' Days." This plan was adopted
last year, but because of the brief time
the results were not so large as might
have been possible in a greater time
allowance, and for this reason the
idea will be worked out much earlier.
In brief the scheme is to set apart one
day during the crusade as c. certain
"merchants' day," such as a "grocers'
day," a "bakei-s' <Sdy," etc.. when tl-.eso
merchants will be given stamps to dis
pose of.
The Boy Scouts will be enlis'.ed
especially in this work in helping to
distribute the seals.

able item. The new machine has a double folder with

mer. Democrat; Otfford Pinchot, Wash
ington. and Boies Penrose, Republican,

McCormick, Democrat-Washington,and
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican, for
Governor, served to bring out a heavy
vote in the early hours of the election
to-day throughout Pennsylvania. The
weather was fine.
The fact that many voters took a
long time to mark their ballots gave
rise to reports that much cutting was
being done, but the slowness of the
voters may be due in a measure to th»
large number of candidates to be voted
for.
Penrose Not Being Cut

day in Philadelphia, especially in bis
trlcts where there were close sena
torial and legislative rights. In the
Fifth Congressional district in this

p. m. and Martin G. Brumbaugh cast
his ballot early in the day.

what seemed impossible we might say that there does
not seem to be any prospect of further improvement in
these presses."

Turkey's Apology to
Russia Has Failed to
Accomplish Its Purpose
Great Britain and Russ Government Have Undertaken
Active Military Measures Against Country; Germans
Are Seeking New Route in Effort to Reach Channel
Ports; Flanders Still Shows Continuance of Hard
Fighting
1 he apology of the Turk for the assaults of his fleet on Rus
sian ports on the Black Sea has not accomplished its purpose, Both
Russia and Great Britain have undertaken active military measures
against him and hostilities have begun on the Red Sea. In France
the troops of Emperor William, frustrated in their persistent en
deavors to advance along the coast, are now seeking a route more
to the south and the fighting in Flanders is going on with determin
ation on the part of the allies and heavy onslaughts from the enemy.
A group of incidents shows that Turkey's effort to hold aloof
from the general warfare came too late. Fighting is reported be
tween Russian and Turkish troops near Trebisond, a British cruiser
has shelled and occupied the Turkish fortified town of Akabah, on
the Red Sea, in Arabia; it is announced in a news dispatch that
Lmperor Nicholas has ordered his Caucasian army to cross the
frontier and attack the Turks; the Turkish ambassador has left the
Russian capital; the Russian foreign minister has replied to the
Porte that negotiations are now impossible and an imperial mani
festo issued in Petrograd says Russian confidence is firm that in
tervention of Turkey will only hasten the fatal issue to that em
pire and that Russia will not find a way to settle the Black Sea prob
lems handed down to her by previous rulers.
1" landers still shows a continuance of hard fighting, always
attended with heavy losses on both sides, as the allies maintain their
apparently successful resistance to the German efforts to advance
toward French ports on the English channel. The French official
announcement given out in Paris this afternoon said that the Ger
mans evidently had abandoned the left bank of the Yser below Dix
mude and that the allies had taken possession of points on the river
where crossings could be made. The French report bears out news
dispatches that the Germans are seeking a route through the allies'
lines further to the south than any they have attempted in the past
two weeks.
Lord Kitchener, the British secretary for war, was in Dunkirk
Sunday night doubtless for the purpose of supervising the oper
ations of the allied forces. lie crossed from England and was in
conference with President Poincare of France and M. Ue Brocque
ville, the prime minister of Belgium.
SUPREME EFFORT TO CAPTURE YPRES
The Germans last Saturday, according to news dispatches, made
a supreme effort to capture Ypres. Lives without number were
sacrificed in an endeavor which apparently resulted in failure for
to-day they arc said to be concentrating their effort at a point well to
the south of this battle-scarred locality. Emperor William him
self was present, according to news dispatches, the latest attempt to
capture this important position. German forces have left Bruges
for Courterai, twenty-five miles to the south and eighteen miles east
cf Ypres, where the British hold the line. This is taken to indicate
the selection of a another way to reach Calais.
Basing its hope that the allies will be able to continue to hold
back the German advance in the north, no matter how determined
and furious it becomes Paris is 6till optimistic as the outcome in
Flanders.
A wounded man was brought recently to the imperial palace at
Strassburg, and medical experts from Berlin were summoned to
attend him. The rumor soon got abroad that the patient was
Frederick William; Crown Prince of Germany. These reports have
not been verified, but travelers reaching Geneva from Strassburg
declare them to be true. The patient in the Strassburg palace is
siid to be although not mortally hurt. The German
Crown Prince has not been heard of directly and authoritativelv
for some weeks. He met his wife at Luxembourg, October 10, anil
twenty days later he was reported as having been wounded before
Verdun.
President Poincare, of France, and King Albert, of Belgium,
have reviewed French and Belgiart troops at Fumes, close to the
I line of battle in Flanders, to an accompaniment of exploding shrapnel
from the artillery of the enemy. Later President Poincare and his
