4 EVERY CANDIDATE FOR SELF, RULE IN COUNCIL CONTEST |No Sign of "Slates," Althougfi Democrats Are Said to Be Talking of One Registration Day Saturday, Sept. IS The last city registration day is Saturday. Many of the voters in the various precincts have not availed themselves of the oppor tunity to register on tho two first registration days and will be given their last chance to do so on Sat urday. The primary election will be next Wednesday. Registrars will sit on Saturday from 8 to 12 in tile morning, 1 to 8 In the after noon, and 7 to 10 o'clock in the evening. With few exceptions the twenty- Wme candidates for City Council are making active canvasses this week f.ir the nominations they seek, and a feature of the campaign is that it is "every fellow for himself and no com binations." as one well-known politi cal worker who had been seeking in vain for signs for a "slate" told a re porter. Heretofore two. three or four can didates for Council have pooled issues find made a campaign on the "nil for lone and one for all plan," but this year there is not an indication of a combine In the city. Of course there aire tho candidates on the Nonpar tisan League, who have been speak ling at the same meetings, but even in this case the various candidates (have done a very considerable amount tof independent campaigning. There it re rumors, also, that at the last min ute the Democratic organization will issue orders, but even this could not be confirmed and Democrats are bad ly split up in support of the various candidates owing allegiance to that party. One candidate, it is reported, lias pledged a number of friends to vote for nobody but himself, but in Ihe main the nomination seekers are •content to exact a promise of personal support and let it go at that. Itepubllenn "IlnnUi-olf" On the Republican side the Council manic fight remains very distinctly outside the party lines. To be sure Republicans in a very large measure mav be expected to vote for the many excellent Republican candidates in the field, but so far as the city com mittee and the ward workers are con cerned it is every man for his own selections and no attempt to line up in favor of anybody for commission er. ' llnrtnrtt Shows I!p Strung Friends of Charles W. Burtnett said "to-day that he is showing up'strong- r than ever and it is predicted that be will carrv off one of the nomin ations. Similiar predictions are made for Kdward L.

I j r^^iey re new joy- | WEDNESDAY EVENING, various candidates are to be believed there could be no chance of defeat for any of them. DeWltt A. Fry, who was elected City Controller In an Independent campulmi, is attain making strong headway, this time for Council, and at a curbstone gathering of poli ticians the other evening It .was the opinion of a downtowner that "you couldn't beat Fry with a club." Charles C. Stelner. formerly president of Common Council, and a well-known member of the Typographical Union, got Into the fight only after the earn est solicitation of friends who sup ported him In previous contests and did not know his nomination petitions were In circulation until the required number of signatures had been pro cured. H Is receiving many promises of support. i There nas been talk of Democratic organization support of a slate made up of John K. Royal, Charles K. Spicer, Howard W. Jones or possibly Samuel F. Hassler, for City Council, and W. 1,. Gorgas for Mayor, but up to this time It either has not come into being or the workers have not been Informed for nobody can be found who has had any definite "or ders" on the subject and each of the men named Is making his own per sonal canvass. .. Went Kllll Club Meets One hundred and sixty-nine mem bers of the West End Republican Club, who live in the Twelfth Ward, have endorsed Alderman DeShong. Plans for the city fall campaign, especially in the Twelfth Ward, where the fight between the rival candidates for the aldermanic post lately has waxed extremely bitter on the side of the West End Democratic Association with the West End Re publican Club members smiling at the thought of electing any Demo crat to any office in the ward, were discussed at the chicken cornsoup sup per held by the West End Republi can Club last night. The affair was attended by over 300 members. The membership of the West Knd Repub lican Club is 791 and is expected to reach the 1000-mark by the last of this year. Speakers were E. 1,. Rinkenbach, W. 11. Lynch. Dr. S. P. Hassler. R. J. H. Douglass. H. P. Oves, DeWitt A. Fry and Alderman C. J. House holder. Last Registration Day At an informal meeting last night ill the home of Harry A. Phillips,. 021 North Sixteenth street, a number of candidates for offices spoke. Among them were Howard W. Jones, out for council: Fred. L. Morgen thaler, candidate for the six-week term from November to January, and Kdward Moeslein, candidate for school director. The men outlined their policies in case they were elect ed, stating they would work for the best interests of the city. Roth Republican and Democratic committeemen in the city are making every effort to have all voters who have not registered, do so on Satur day, the last registration day before the primary election. In a number of the city precincts the registrars report only about fifty per cent, of the voters have been listed. With city councilmen, a mayor, school di rectors and a number of important county offices to fill the committee men are doing everything possible to have a large vote. cmi.n mi's After a brief illness, Donald I'. Kearns. two-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. John F. Kearns, 317 Hummel street, died last evening. Funeral services will be held to-morrow aft ernoon, at 2 o'clock, the Rev. H. R. Bender, pastor of Ridge Avenue Methodist Church, officiating. GIRLS QUITTING WILL HAVE TO SCHOOL BECAUSE SPEED UP TO OF CONDITIONS GET ENOUGH I Long Climbs Upstairs and | Crowded Rooms Are Responsible | How Important it is to promptly, provide proper facilities for the girl students of the high schools is demon strated this week in the withdrawal of a number of girls from the Cen tral High School owing to the con ditions there. Parents of these girls are most emphatic in their denunci ation of the situation and insist that it is an unnecessary imposition upon them to be compelled to send their daughters at an early age to schools elsewhere. One prominent manufac turer said this morning: j "When we are taxed and cheerful- I ly pay our share of the necessary burden of education In this com munity we ought at least to feel j that we can keep our daughters with | us during their early school years. I Owing to the menace to their health. | however, some of us are. compelled to send our girls out of the city j when the facilities ought to have | been provided here long ago. Sure i ly this community must get awake j and waste no more time in providing accommodations and facilities wheh • will equal any school elsewhere." j Much of the complaint about the present Central High School building has come from the necessity of the Kills several flights of stairs constancy and being divided owdS°con,dfc ß " Wl " g to tho Central High Notes All boys over 16 years of age who wish to join the Hoys Reserves are requested to hand their names to Principal 11. G. Dibble at once. There seems to be a rumor going around among the student body to the effect that students with con ditions are not eligible to the choir. This is a mistake and all those who tried for the choir last spring should see Principal Dibble immediately if they desire to enter the choir this term. Inquiries concerning "lost and found articles" will be made at the office in the future. There will be no chapel announcements concern ing them. HAWAII HAS LABOR COMMITTEE Honolulu, Hawaii. Royal D. Mead, head of Bureau of Labor and Statistics of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association, has been ap pointed chairman of the Committee on Labor of the Territorial Food Commission. The committee, which is a new one, will have charge of all labor problems and affairs com ing before the commission. HARIUSBURG TELEGRAPH County Draft Boards Short Required Number of Men to Go Sept. 19 The orders issued yesterday by the provost marshal general increasing the quota of the lirst contingent to leave next Wednesday from 35 per cent, to 45 per cent, has raised havoc with the local exemption boards. The order caught the boards unprepared. Where the three division boards are going to secure the 267 men to send as representatives of Dauphin county to Camp Meade is the question that remains unsettled. Not one of the three boards has sufficient names certified to feel safe. Steelton must send 115. To date 127 are certified. Of this number nearly fifty are negroes, and a3 these men are to bo excluded lroni going with the first contingent the board is left short. To-day a new list of 102 names was prepared and rushed to the district board at the Capitol to be acted upon. Qf this numtber thirty-four are colored men. If these names are certified, Steelton will have 228 men on hand. Taking out the 79 negroes that arc included, there will be a bare margin over the required number. This board had not intendde to call any more men for examination. However, to-day the belief was expressed that more men will have to be called in order to secure the full quota of 255. Rush Examinations At the headquarters of the Pax tang board in the Dauphin Building the work of examining is being rushed in order that the required number of men can ce secured. To day the board received from the dis trict board 2 4 names that were cer tified. These, added to the 71 already certified, brings its total up to o~va more tha nis required to send on September 19. A margin of five is not sufficient and more names must be sent in. This week so far 150 were ordered to report for examina tion in the first three days. The ma jority put in appearance and the re mainder of the 300 called will be ex. amined before Monday. Paxtang Board Safe The Taxtang board is much better off in this respect than the othei* two boards. Steelton will eh fortunate If It pulls through, while Ellzaheth ville is working to rush the names to the appeal board. At Elizabethville yesterday the board examined 54 and of this num ber 30 passed and 24 were dis charged. Twenty-three asked ex emption and 7 expressed their will ingness to go to the rt-ont. Taking into consideration the way tho district board has been acting on the claims presented, the chances of Dauphin county being fully repre sented Wednesday appear slim. Yes terday the appeal board acted on 21 claims from Franklin county and of this number sent back 13 for ad ditional information. To-day tho board acted on 14 claims from Fulton county, denied 8 granted. 2 and sent back 4 for more information. Twel* claims from York IVo. I were acted on, 7 were denied and 5 were grant ed. Ono claim from Dauphin county was allowed, this being a man wlro is engaged in teaching engineering In an industrial school in Porto Rico. Most all the claims presented to the board were on the grounds of agri culture, onl ytwo being industrial. May Cut Taile Ren-prts from Elizabethville to-day staet'fl that this morning 53 were examined. Of this number 35 passed.. 18 were discharged and 7 claimed no exemption. The chairman of this board is honeful of having 47 men ready. While only 35 names have been certified to this board, ho feels that with 72 men not claiming ex emption he will be able to secure the extra 11. This is a possible solution of the troubles of the other boards, too. If the men who have not claimed exemption are alolwed to go, then the full numbers in all the boards will he certain. Perhaps the red tape that is bound around the working of the appeal board may be cut and the men allowed to leave. If this be the case, there will be great rejoicing among tho hoards and a great load will be taken from their minds. hpmnnds Speed Officers at the staet draft head quarters to-day asked that members of district appeal hoards and local boards speed up their certification of men for tho national army so that Pennsylvania will be able to send forth Its quota of men on tho first call for Camp Meade next Wednes day. The quota was Increased yes terday by an order from Washing ton and the headquarters officers de clare that it will require much more active work on the part of district boards. The certifications should bo started at once, as tho first of the five movements of men to Camp Mede will begin on Wednesday, Sep tember 19. v Detailed Information has been sent to local boards regarding the move ment to Camp Meade and the rail road officials are now working on plans for special trains from eastern Pennsylvania. Movements to Oamne Lee and Sherman are scheduled to b<> made on the same day.
