that he regarded the list of candidates
alread in the field as ample material
for excellent selections by the voters
in November.
Among men of all parties there i 3
considerable comment as to the diffi
culties of the Democratic situation in i
Dauphin county and the city of Har
risburg. It is realized by the clear
visioned Democrats that the Repub
lican selections are for the most part
f-o unimpeachable as to furnish the
Democratic machine little excuse fori
opposition this year.
Even the Democratic city committee I
at a meeting last night labored long j
and arduously and brought forth a i
mouse in the shape of a series of reso
lutions arraigning the three Repub
lican members of the City Council for
alleged partisanship, overlooking en
tirely the partisan antics of the ml-1
norlty representatives in the municipal
organization. Messrs. Bowman, Lynch I
ond Taylor are accused of the awful j
dereliction of permitting the Harris-1
burg Light and Power Company to ■
proceed with the lights on the river j
wall and in Second street hefore a for- 1
mal ordinance ratifying an agreement ,
with the company was passed. Of,
course, the fact that this was done in j
order that the illumination might be I
provided for the approaching munici
pal celebration is not mentioned. In- j
stead of commendation for enterpris
ing and public-spirited action, the'
three Republicans are denounced. I
Commissioner Taylor is also called to
account for not favoring a local con
cern with all of his orders for fire
apparatus.
Not a word is said in these reso
lutions regarding the energetic and
progressive service of the three de
partments beaded by Republicans dur
ing the last year, nor is there any
reference to the difficulties which have
been overcome in gettlne undl>r op
eration these three important depart
ments in harmony with a new scheme
of municipal government forced upon

A Personal Message to
Every Woman and Miss ■
From Mr. Irving E. Robinson HL jjfcJy
"My Dear Friends and the Public" '~*wUJK.
After 20 years' experience as an employe, I am now about to open my own store at 20 North ith St., near
the Young Women's Christian Association, with a complete line of Women's and Misses SUITS, tu a it>,
DRESSES, SEPARATE SKIRTS, WAISTS, FURS, PETTICOATS, HOUSE DRESSES, KIMONOS and CHIL
DREN'S COATS.
No doubt this will be gratifying news to my many friends. m
My unlimited experience as a buyer in the Ready-to-Wear lines will enable me to offer Women i siand
Misses' outer garments at prices that will be hard to match. While I will not have the biggest store in Harris- |UU IF JM
burg, I PROMISE YOU THE BIGGEST VALUES IN HARRISBURG; and know that my success depends en- n|
upon you
I have arranged for New York and Philadelphia offices, which will give us last minute i n*MVT\JT
crowd my store with many garments of one style, and I PROMISE NOT TO MAKE ANY GARMENT
The oDeratlne exDense of "THE WOMAN SHOP" will be exceedingly low, owing to the fact that I vnUU be my own buyer, my own advertising
man, m^ - window dresser and manager, which naturally will keep down the overhead expense and will enable me to mark all merchandise at a
STYLISH YOUNG MISS, and THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN, and will be sure to interest women who follow the fashions, all at sensible prices.
I have learned to love the people of Harrisburg, they have been exceptionally klndto me. and thUI h as'**' minfknd
in "THE WOMAN SHOP." I desire to take this opportunity to thank my many friends and the i shopp ng: public in genera for tneir many Kind
