HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WASSON WORKING ON DELEGATE LISTS | [Continued From Pint Page] Ex-Senator George M. Wertz, of Cambria; C. T. Evans, Jr., German town; F. W. Fleltz, Scram on and Paul W. Ilouck, referee 'n compensation, Shenandoah, and is understood to have reiterated his desires for a reunited Republican party and desire for har mony. The Governor declined to make any statement and his friends pointed out that it was not his move. Sotting Up Candidates Mr. Wasson and Mr. Detrich were in consultation part of the day with Air. Brown and the national commit teeman said that some details about the selection of candidates were being arranged. Mr. Wasson was in touch with a number of men throughout the State. Mr. Wasson said to some newspapermen that, he was "putting fuel on the lire" and Mr. Detrich was facetiously referred to as "a stoker," too. Neither one would discuss the names of the men under considera tion. " Mr. Detrich said to-day that he ex pected there would be candidates for Republican national delegate in op position to Messrs. Green and Byron, who were picked out .at the Seven teenth district conference here some time ago. Capitol Hill was inclined to await developments in the harmony pro gram to-day and there was not much activity shown in political affairs. In surance Commissioner Charles John son said to-day that he was attending to business. The State Committee While many at the Capitol have high hopes of avoiding a contest, over delegates in spite of conferences and reports to the contrary, there are not many who see how a contest for elec tion of members of the State com mittee can be prevented. Both sides are busy putting up candidates for committeemen all over the State and control of the committee, which in the opinion of Mr. Wasson, will nominate the next national commit teemen, is looming large as an issue. Men who do not share Mr. Wasson's' opinion, say that the action of the Re publican State Committee in selecting a national committeeman will be final. The Governor will leave here late in the week for Luzerne county, but his schedule is not made up. He has been pledged earnest support for na tional delegates from many parts of the State and by many on Capitol Hill. What Headquarters Gave Out The Brumbaugh headquarters to day gave out a letter sent to the Gov ernor by Walter L. Vanaman, former secretary of the Washington party committee in Harrisburg, as follows: "Wish to tender you such assistance as I may be able to render. Have re signed my position as secretary of the Washington party, and aligned my self with the Republican party, main ly for the purpose of trying to get delegates from this district, that would stand for the kind of a man for President a Progressive could con sistently support. "To my mind, the elimination of Penrose, as dictator in Pennsylvania politics would entirely remove the necessity for a third party, providing, of course, that Barnes, Root, and others-of that type do not again make the mistake they did in 1912. I feel that the issues of the Pennsylvania Progressives are safe in your hands, and, for that reason, wish to help you in any way that I can. You have but to command me." Two other letters made public to day from men In other States indicate the outside interest being manifested in the Governor's candidacy. One, from M. H. Neil, an attorney of Lusk, Wyo., read In part: "1 just wish to say that. I trust very much you will be the next President, as I have watched your progress for a number of years and am in sym ! pathy with your ideals as well as a ! member of your party. If I can be of service later In my present home State will be only too glad to do so." The other letter was from Frank D. McQuesten, of New York City, who attended Harvard at the same time as the Governor. It read, in part: "X am glad to read of the stand you have taken In Pennsylvania politics, for in case the bone of contention narrows down at the National Convention to former President. Roosevelt and Chief Justice Hughes, with you in the run j ning as Pennsylvania's candidate, the I final selection may rest on you. 1 | wish you success." WINDOW BOXES ARE ENDORSED [Continued From First l*agel not only be economical for the first year, but for years to come. Mr. Heckley is the originator of the j sectional windowbox which can be easily installed and in the Spring and I stored for winter in the Fall. The Berryhlll Nursery Company and I all the other flower dealers of town see not only a future profit in the win dowbox movement in Harrisburg but are anxious to further the enterprise in order to see the city beautified as they believe it should be, and Mr. Heckley for one assures the Telegraph that he is willing to spend more In the project this year than he can pos sibly hope to get out of it. Mr. Berkley's I>ettcr Mr. Beckley's letter, as president of the Berryhill Nursery Co., is as fol lows: The Editor of the Telegraph: The announcement of your pro posed campaign for window and porch boxes in the making of a more beautiful city is exceedingly interesting and timely. Harris burg has won great fame in its great public improvement cam paigns and many citizens have caught the spirit in the beautify ing of their own premises. But there has not been that enthusias tic concerted effort in the beauti fying of home grounds, and the planting of trees, shrubs and flow ers that has characterized Dayton, Des Moines and other American cities. If private enterprise would match public improvements Har risburg could be the most beauti ful city in America. The window and porch box campaign is one in which every resident can join. Even the apart menthouse dweller can have a window or porch garden—at small cost to begin and very little effort to keep continuously beautiful. With the idea of making it easv for folks to have flowerboxes we devised the sectional boxes made in foot and half foot lengths from two to five feet. The idea is the same as has been worked out so • practically in the sectional book cases. The boxes are lighter, more durable, easier to store in winter and they fit any space. By proper planting the plants soon cover the Joints and the efTect is that of one box. Attention has been given in the making of the boxes to proper width and depth. This is impor tant for many of the flowerboxes in the city have been too small to alfow room for the maturing of the plants, with the that lopg before Fall the boxes are un sightly and need to be removed. The soil used In flowerboxes should be of the very best, just as good as is used in greenhouse benches for rose culture. If the best results are to be obtained. It will not do to use just any old garden soil to fill the boxes and expect to have a beautiful dls- jij New Victor Records H ■ for April IJJ Two beautiful numbers by Caruso A dainty minuet by Elman A favorite hymn by McCormack and 67 others including 20 of the best popular song: "hits" 8 lovely instrumental numbers 'Nflilil 6 new entrancing: dance records 2 exquisite operatic arias 2 fine orchestral numbers 2 attractive marimba band selections 4 brilliant musical comedy numbers 2 amusing monologues 8 interesting- educational records.

Fertilizer of the proper kind should be mixed with the soil to feed the plants and carry them to perfection after the plant food in the original soil has become exhausted. The selection of plants is the third important item. This de pends on the- location of the boxes, and the surroundings for some will be in bright sunny loca tions while others will be in shady places getting little if any direct sunlight. If just a little thought is given in these three important matters in planning the flower boxes—sizes—soil and plants there need be no disappointment in results and but little attention need be given the boxes during the summer. We will be very glad to co-op erate with the Telegraph in this campaign for a city of flower boxes—unlike the planting of a young tree and a long wait for I maturity, this can be done this I summer, for a good, well-planted flowerbox is beautiful at once and each day until it has fulfilled its 1 purpose for the season.
