to the back seats to which they sent
James M. Guffey and others a few
years ago. As a result of the recent
election Arthur G. Dewalt, guillotined
by the reorganizers in 1911. was
elected to Congress and other men
flouted by the bosses have gone into
posts of prominence by direct vote of
the people.
The proposition to have State Chair
man Morris retire in the interest of
haimon.v has caused a stir here, as
neither Morris nor his associates have
been noted as giving up anything aatd
arc said to be hopeful of profiting 1n
the next presidential campaign. How
ever. it Is said to be the determination,
of the men who want a fair reor
ganization to force it even if they have
to go to the length of calling the state
committee. Morris will hold olTiee
until 1916 and the only way to get
bint out is to wean away enough state
committeemen to form a majority
Against him and then ask him to quit.
Reorganizers say this cannot be done.
The others think It can. especially if
Washington shows a desire to have the
"Old Guard" recognized in the hope of
getting peace. Just now things are in
a formative state, but some observers
to see conditions like those
which prevailed when the present
bosses got hold of the machine.
However, $15,000 owed by the state
committee does not make party con
trol a very attractive prize just now.

Join the Staff of John

■ _ gjgf
IVY L. LEE
Resigns P. R. R. Post to Join John D.
Rockefeller Forces
Philadelphia, Dec. S. Announce
ment was made yesterday that Ivy L.
Lee, since December 1, 1912, execu
tive assistant of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, had resigned from the ser
vice of that company to become a
member of the personal staff of John
D. Rockefeller. Mr. Lee will be one
of the hoard of three advisers who
are directing the investment and dis
tribution of the vast Rockefeller mil
lions for philanthropic purposes. He
will enter upon his new duties Janu
ary 1.
Upon this board of advisers Mr.
Lee will succeed Jerome D. Greene,
who for some time past has divided
his time between acting as secretary
to the Rockefeller Foundation and as
a member of the personal staff. From
the first of the year Mr. Greene will
devote his entire time to the executive
work of the foundation.
The other members of the present
personal staff are John D. Rockefeller,
Jr., and Starr D. Murphy.
Air. Lee was formerly connected
with several New York newspapers,
in 1905 he became the press repre
sentative for. the anthracite coal op
erators. and later took charge of the
publicity of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, establishing the publicity bu
reau of that company in 190$. A year
later he went abroad as the European
representative of the banking firm of
Harris, Winthrop & Co., returning to
the Pennsylvania Railroad in Decem
ber, 1912, as executive assistant.
Mr. Lee was born at Cedarville, Ga.,
in 1877, and graduated from Prince
ton in iy. ~ later taking post-graduate
work at Harvard and Columbia Uni
versities. While in Europe he was a
lecturer before the London School of
Economics, and he has frequently, as
a representative of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, made important addresses
here.
He is a fellow of the Royal Geo
graphic Society and of the Royal Eco
nomic Society and a member of the
American Economic Association, the
Railroad Club of New York, City Club
of New York, Royal Automobile Club
of London, Travelers' Club of Paris
and the Pilgrims.
Enginemen Poorly Paul. —Railroad
enginemen in the freight service get
pay far below that of bricklayers or
plasterers, it was testified yesterday at
Chicago in the western railroad wage
arbitration by William S. Carter, presi
dent of-the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen and Enginemen, who was
on the stand all day. Carter said that
good passenger runs come only aftijr
twenty and thirty years of poorly paid
employment. Speaking of the weed
ing out of firemen, he attributed their
failure in most cases to reach paying
position to "elimination by physical
collapse." The seniority rules of the
railroads, bad as they were, he said,
were better than nothing.

STOUGH S STAYING IS
LARGELY UP 10 HIM
[Continued From Hrst Page]
I some more (food by staying another
[ week.
I "What do you think of Dr. Stough
staying in the city 'until hell freezes
over,' as he said he was willing to
do?" Mr. Weaver was asked.
Largely I'D to Stougli
"Well, that might happen before
the 27th of December if this wintry
weather continues. I cannot say much
about the question, as X have not been
in conference with other members of
the committee lately."
E. Z. Gross, chairman of the ex
ecutive committee, said he thought
that if Dr. Stough desires to remain
longer the executive committee will
extend the official formal Invitation.
The Rev. F. T. Cartwrlght, official
spokesman of the Stough party, said
that it has been learned through past
exp< '«nces never to try to overwork a
field, and that usually a six weeks'
campaign brings a city to a condition
where it can carry on the work with
its own local forces. Ke compared
the Stough party to a team of horses
or mules that helps a heavy load over
a mountain road and stays with the
job until the easy levels are reached,
where the ordinary motive power can
carry the burden.
He intimated that such a safe level
ha 9 not yet been reached in Ilarris
burg. He gave it as his opinion that
the feeling at the meetings during
the next few days will indicate the
I exact situation, and that a definite
| decision can be reached nearer the
I end of the week.
A prayer meeting was held this
morning in the Market Square Pres
byterian Church by Dr. Stough and
members of the local ministerium and
forty-two preachers from many cities
and towns of Central Pennsylvania,
who came to meet the evangelist and
learn more of his methods. After the
meeting the visiting preachers march
ed through the slushy streets of Har
rtsburg to the Ridge Avenue Metho
dist Church, where they ate a turkey
dinner provided by the ladies of the
co-operating churches.
Make Big Effort to
Raise sl£so of Budget
At the men's meeting when 0.000
men were present yesterday after
noon Br. Stough announced that a
balance of $1,250 on the campaign
budget still remained. He then tact
fully asked Chief Usher Houseal for
a loan of one dollar hill which was
handed to him. He spid that the bill
looks rather lonesome, some one else
handed up another dollar bill which
made a family of two, the How of bills

What Leads to
Tuberculosis?
In the opinion of mnn.v medical nu

■feneil. If not actually precipitated, by n
loan of lime from the ayDtetn. "Where

■mint be supplied medicinally," ««>• Dr.
J. W. Carhart. of Sun Antonio, Teim,
In the May, 11)13, l»»ue of "Medtcnl
Pi-ncre**." ,
To supply these necessary salts has,
in many instances, proved a difficult
matter, since in some forms they are
not easily assimilable.
In Kckman's Alterative, however,
calcium (lime) is so combined with
other remedial agents as to be asslm -
lated by the average person without di
gestive disturbance, and to this. in
part is due the success of this remedy
In the treatment of tuberculosis and
chronic throat and bronchial affections.
We make no boastful claims for Kck
man's Alterative, but a caieful record
of results obtained during years of
widespread use warrants the assertion
that many such cases apparently have
yielded to it.
It contains no opiates, narcotics or
hablt-formlng drugs, hence its use is
not attended with danger. Your drug

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem
edy for the Disease Has
Been Found
Rheuma, the wonderful rheumatism
remedy sold by H. C. Kennedy and
alt druggists. gives quicker and more
lasting relief than other remedies cost
ing many times as much.
Rheuma gets at once into the blood
and purifies it, allowing it to feed
freely into the veins and arteries and
passes the deadly poisonous secretions
into the bowels and kidneys, from
which they are quickly thrown off in
a natural, healthy way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: "I have made a
most careful investigation of tho
formula employed in the manufacture
of Rheuma, and I heartily recom
mend it as a remedy for all forms of
rheumatism, gout, and complications
arising from neglect of these diseases
in their early stages. On the basis of
the formula used alone, I find Rheuma
far in advance of the methods gen
erally employed in the treatment of
rheumatism, and altogether different
in composition from the remedies
usually prescribed."
This should give any sufferer from
rheumatism confidence in trying
Rheuma. It is so inexpensive you
cannot afford to do without it.—
