ALL ELECTION ACT
AMENDMENTS GO
Governor Vetoes the Senate Bills
Which Would Have Made Many
Changes to the Laws
All election law amendment bills
of any importance were vetoed by
Governor Rrumbaucli. They were
gi3 - en out as vetoed before the Gov
ernor left the city on Saturday, but
not to be published this morn
ing.
The so-called "antifusion bill" was
vetoed by the Governor with these
3vords: "Its purpose is to compel all
parties nominating candidates at the
primary to carry their tickets un
changed to the election. There are
reasons for such a law, any one con
versant with the unnatural alliances
of a recent campaign might 3vell fa
3or such an enactment and such con
ditions undoubtedly provoked and
prompted the introduction and pas
sage of this bill. But the fact that
some have abused what others would
use is not sufficient warrant for the
approval of this bill. It may well be
that the time will come when under
present law citizens may co-operate
to promote the loftiest ends of good
government. It 3vould be unfortu
nate if by any law this 3vere pre
vented. It Is a serious matter un
duly to restrict the electorate and pre
3-ent such concert of action as will
give the people relief In case a mis
take is made Jn the nominations.
The party in po3ver will always se
cure the sympathy and support of
right thinking citizen? 3\hen it meets
in the open and unrestricted its po
litical opponents. Any attempt to
thwart concert of action or to limit
reorganization of interests prior to
election is likely to preduc® criti
cism and opposition. The American
\oter loves free, fair play; and, in
Inst analysis, those that abuse the
rreedom that should be given the
3-oters will suffer, not profit by their
misalliance."
People to Utile
In 3-etoing the bill regulating the
formation of new parties the Gover
nor says: "Its whole intent is to de
line party lines early in the year,
to prevent fusion thereafter and
hence to make the primary the po
tential election and the election that
follows more or less a matter of
course. To compel 3*oters before Feb
ruary 1 to define their ultimate pur
pose as to the election in November
is to restrict and hamper that in
dependence of action which, though
juggling and shifting of candidates
and parties may sometimes be done,
cannot in fairness be denied the elec
torate if 3ve are to take the spirit
of our government seriously. If the
people are to rule It is only fair to
give them the opportunity to da
so."
On the bill which would give the
Republican party the first place on
the ballot in the next election be
cause of polling' the largest vote at
a general election the Governor says:
"To deny the Democratic party the
preference in place on the ballot won
at the last presidential election is of
doubtful advantage to a party which
for a time was in the minority but
which is usually overwhelmingly in
the majority. It is a "ripper" meas
ure which would provoke justifiable
criticism. A political party is en
titled to all the advantages it can
fairly win at the polls .The place
of a party on the ballot is no longer
of great significance. Voters are quite
capable of finding the candidates
they desire and the will of the peo
ple will be fairly expressed. Having
the right of line is of little advan
tage, but whatever it may be, It
should be won at the polls and not
by Legislative enactment."
Committeeman Bill, Too
The bill to change the election of a
national committeeman is declared to
be retroactive and hence inoperative.
The Governor says the bill also chang
es the per cent, of the vote re
quired to establish a political party
and while he assumes it was not in
tended to destroy any political parties
it would accomplish that result and
is therefore "unfair and unreason
able." The clause relative to elec
tion of a national committeeman he
says refers to 1913 and it is to be re
gretted that the real Intention can

not be written into the bill, as It is
reasonable, that the State committee
elected In a presidential year should
elect the national committeeman.
The bill regulating use of party
names and nominations Is vetoed with
(,#iment: "The evident purpose
of the repealer is to prevent inde
pendence of action on the part of any
group of voters. It compels accept
ance of party control and makes it
difficult for those not willing to abide
by the outcome of the primaries to
find a means of registering their dis
sent. It distinctly restricts the vot
er in that freedom of action which
he may abuse, but which, if we be
lieve in our common democracy, we
must accept and abide by. If we be
lieve that the people should govern
through their chosen delegates we
can scarcely justify an attempt to pre
vent the people from having free
dom of approach to the polls in or
der to express In their own way their
rights as free citizens."
The bill prohibiting policemen and
flrmeen from canvassing election pre
cincts in first-class cities Is declared
to in effect do away with what is
known as the "Shern law." "City
employes should not be in politics"
writes the Governor, "but extraor
dinary conditions may arise in which
it would be proper for the municipal
officials to endeavor to secure data in
dependent of whose special duty it
is to secure such data or informa
tion.

IP PINK BILLS
Governor Approved Allowances to
Something Over $65,000,000
For Next Two Years
Study of the reductions and vetoes
of legislation carrying appropriations
as far as announced by Governor
Grumbaugh show that he cut off at
least $6,729,559.35 from the $72,194,-
411.77 passed by the Legislature. This
may be increased to $6,750,000. The
Governor's figure sheets show ap
provals of appropriations to the
amount of 65,464,852.42.
In making his cuts the Governor
went closer to the estimate given to
him by Chairmen James F. Woodward
and Clarence J. Ruckman, of the ap
propriations committees, than to what
was furnished to him by Auditor Gen
eral A. W. Powell. The chairmen esti
mated that $68,479,819.70 would be a
safe flgura, basing this statement on
what had been given them by Mr.
Powell on February 28. The Auditor
General gave an estimate of less than
$61,000,000. The Governor's approvals
seem to aggregate $65,464,852.42. The
aggregate appropriated was $72,194,-

In 1913 Governor John K. Tener
faced appropriations of $89,046,777.48
and cut off $22,838,636.21, leaving
$66,208,141.22. A table of compari

HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH
EQUAL RIGHTS GOES
DOWN IN THE END
Bill Was Held Until the Last Day
and Vetoed Because Change
Had Not Been Printed
Governor Brumbaugh vetoed tho
"equal rights" bill because as Anally
passed It contained words written and
not printed, as required by the Con
stitution. He says that existing laws
guarantee equal rights regardless of
race, color or creed and that the State
has npt been remiss in enacting laws.
While due notice was given and noted
on the legislative journal that the
change had been made, It Is Impos
sible to approve it under the law.
The Senate bill providing for addi
tions to the force of the State Fire
Marshal is vetoed because It would
cost $70,500, which the State cannot
afford at this time to add "to its
already heavy charges for salaries."
The Governor also says it opposes the
act giving the Attorney General con
trol of all legal business.
Other bills announced as vetoed in
clude several Philadelphia salary
raisers and the following:
Senate bill providing for State su
pervision over Inspectors of weights
and measures, which, the Governor
says, would mean ten new places,
which is not advisable at this time.
Senate bill for a commission to
codify laws relative to juvenile courts,
the Governor saying that the Legis
lative Reference Bureau and Attorney
General can and will do it.
Senate bill making an appropriation
for the Topographic and Geologic Sur
vey. The Governor says the appro
priation Is too small and would scarcely
keep the department salaries in force.
It would be better, he says, to do it
in a manner commensurate with the
Importance of the work.
ELEVEN LODGES REPRESENTED
AT MEMORTAIi SERVICES
.Eleven lodges of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows were represent
ed last evening at the annual memor
ial services of the Southern District
of Dauphin county, which were held
in Messiah Lutheran Church. The roll
call of the dead members was read by
Christian W. Myers, past grand master
of the order. The memorial sermon
of the evening was given by the Rev.
Henry W. A. Sanson, pastor of the
church, who spoke on "Faith, Hope
and Charity." A special program of
music was given by the choir.
OLD PRINTER CELEBRATING
IS CELEBRATING BIRTHDAY
James Falker, of Rutherford

day to-day. He claims to be the old

in Carlisle. He was employed at
Washington in the government offices
when the reports were being made of
President Johnson's impeachment,
trial.
GOVERNOR VETOED
EXACTLY 211 BIOS
Made New High Water Mark in
Catting Down Legislation on
General Subjects
Governor Brumbaugh finished up
work on the 708 bills left with him by
the recent General Assembly on Sat
urday afternoon and It was 8 o'clock
last night before his office force
handed out the last veto. There are
some more which will come along
later. The Governor is away for sev
eral days, the place being kept secret
so that he will not be bothered by
anyone.
Records of the State Department
show that he vetoed 211 bills, or 41
more than John K. Tener in 1913.
The Tener veto list ran up to 171. In
1911 he vetoed 122 bills and in 1909
Edwin 8. Stuart vetoed 12 0. The Gov
ernor signed 792 bills. John K. Tener
signed 857 in 1913 and 847 in 1911.
Edwin S. Stuart slgneo 659 in 1909.
The Governor vetoed In part many
Items in the list of appropriations for
hospitals and other charities and mis
cellaneous objects. He carved out over
$5,500,000, the results being announced
shortly before midnight Saturday
night. Only SIOO,OOO was cut from
the highway appropriation. It amounts
to $8,300,000 and the schools were
not touched. Thus the Governor will
be able to carry out his two big ob
jects. The State Armory Board Is cut
SIOO,OOO and the Philadelphia port
reduced from a half to a quarter
million.
Molly Pitcher's monument bill was
approved and $250,000 given for
mothers' pensions. Forty thousand dol
lars is allowed for the completion of
the State arsenal and Superintendent
Rambo will now ask bids.
The Capitol Park extension com
mission is given $300,000 to finish the
work.
The University of Pennsylvania gets
$900,000 all told and State College
something over a million. The Univer
sity of Pittsburgh gets $600,000 and
allowance is made for buying normal
schools.
Before going away the Governor
Kave out this statement:
"In an attempt to keep the expendi
tures of the Commonwealth within its
predictable income It has been neces
sary to reduce the Commonwealth's
bounty to many deserving Institutions
and organizations. It is to me re
grettable that higher education, to
which I gave so much of my life, has
with other worthy causes been re
duced as it became imperative to do.
I am not unmindful of the fact that
some of my fellow-citizens and their
representatives who have been most
active and insistent In their efforts to
secure large appropriations for the In
stitutions with which they are con
nected or in which they have a special
Interest are precisely the same citizens
who have been even more active in
defeating legislation to Increase the
State's revenues. In other words,
their activity against good laws has
been the cause of their failure to se
cure what their activity for institutions
led the Assembly to appropriate. If
men are not willing to -help provide
