EVERY CANDIDATE
FOR SELF, RULE IN
COUNCIL CONTEST

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. '

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

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.

are most emphatic in their denunci

it is an unnecessary imposition upon

turer said this morning:

This is a mistake and all those who

see Principal Dibble immediately if
they desire to enter the choir this

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.

The exemption boards at Paxtang
and Steelton have Issued new lists of
names of the men who have been
certified to the appeal board as

draft army. Paxtang has seventy
