Sigler Is the local agent, has bought the building of the Pennsylvania Bronze foundry, locat ed at Seventh and Camp streets. The building will be used to house the greatly increased business of the company.

'NON-PARTISAN' GETS REAL TEST State Elections Next Tuesday Will Demonstrate Value of the System Nonpartisan acts governing the election of Judges and associate judges In counties and mayors and eouhcilmen In the second and third pines cities ot the state will bo given the most extensive test next Tuesday tlilH they have had since they were enacted by the Legislature ot 1913, Very little amendment has been done jo them and while there have been law suits to determine various ques tions the acts stand practically Os when placed upon the books. The experience of the last few years in the selection of appellate court judges coupled with what may be turned up in the numerous contests this year will influence in great measure movements against the non partisan system in the General As sembly of 19 ID, In nineteen judicial districts there are forty-two candidates for twenty six common pleas judgeships. Twelve judges, ten now on the bench, are not opposed on the ballot, having se cured a clear fifty-one per cent of the votes. In two districts, Philadel phia and Fayette, three orphans court judges are to be chosen and In the latter district the sitting Judge Is alone on the ballot. More "side" or "lay" Judges are to be chosen this year than for a long time, certainly more than since the nonpartisan law became operative and the candidates passed through a primary made strenuous by the license Issue. There are thirty-eight candidates for twenty-two Judge ships In seventeen counties. Three fourths of the counties having such judges will elect this year. The non partisan act has made the judicial primary in small counties a strenu ous affair. Some counties had eight and ten candidates. Fifteen Mayors Fifteen cities will elect mayors ami councilmen, ami nineteen other* will elect councilmen only. These thirty four cities are all under nonparti san acts. They include Pittsburgh and Scranton, which have fierce con tests. Lancaster. which operates under a charter almost a century old, elects only a few councilmen and school directors. In a number of counties candi dates for county offices are candi dates of more than one party. This is strikingly illustrated by the dis trict attorney candidate in Lebanon, who is on five tickets and has no op ponent. In Columbia County candi dates appear to be on all tickets. Socialists seem to have nominated candidates everywhere they could and are making fights for council manic seats on what really amount to partisan grounds in niore than one city. Tlie Soldier Vote It is generally believed that the soldier vote will have considerable influence upon municipal elections in muny places and may also determine close contests for county offices. Un der the act relative to the voting of soldiers and decisions thereon the men will vote at the camps for county-wide and city-wide candidates and the plan is to have polls by counties at the dozen or moro camps where there are Pen nsy Ivan lans. liooks giving all nominees to bo voted for have been provided, but the ballots are large enough to per mit a soldier to vote for anyone whose name he may care to write upon the ballot. Commissioners In charge of Ihis voting are starting for the camps. There is no slate officer to elect tills year and the single congres sional seat to be filled results from a vacancy in the Twenty-eighth dis trict, composed of Mercer, Warren, Forest, Venango and 131k Counties. There are four candidates. The even dozen of judicial "candi dates, most of them sitting judges, unopposed on the ballot. are: Judges liregy and Audenreid, Phila delphia; Prather, Crawford; Butler, Chester; Whittelsey, Krie; Mcllvalne, Washington; Swartz, Montgomery; McCarrell, Dauphin; Van Swearin gen, Fayette, and Stewart, North ampton, with R. B. McConnick, Clin ton-Elk-Cameron, and John G. Idor man, Columbia-Montour, who won honors at the polls. Seven of the cities electing muyois have unopposed candidates for iheir chief magistracies. They are Archi bald • Bethlehem; C. L. Alexander, Corry; John Duggan, Connellsville; 11. W. Reidenreich, llazleton; J. J. Kennedy, Pittston; A. M. Hoagland, Wllllamsport, end F. P. Mortimer, Pottsvllle. Other cities electing mayors are Pittsburgh, Scranton, llftirlsburg, McKeesport. Duquesne, Butler. Meadville and Franklin. All cities electing mayors lire third class except.Pittsburgh and Scranton. Bethlehem, Butler :.nd Duquesne are new cities. All cities of all classes seem to have lively fights for councilyianic seats, espe cially the three lug cities. In Al toona the city managership issue is before the voters and Beading, Coatesville, Krie and Wilkes-Harre have Interesting battles. Bradford. Indiana and Center Counties will only elect a jury com missioner: Wayne, a jury commis* sioncr and county surveyor, and Ful ton an associate judge and jury com missioner. Among the county offices lo lie filled are prison keeper in Lan caster county; director of a home of the distituto in Westmorolaml nnd clerk to County Commissioners in York, which are under special acts. About a fourth of the counties will elect sheriffs. Municipal elections in second and third class cities are under the non partisan law as are the judicial con tests in all counties. * Trained Nurse Burns to Death When Dress Takes Fire at Cellar Furnace Cha mbersburg, Pa., Nov. 3.—Miss Dorothy Cooke, daughter of Chief Clerk George C.

To-morrow is World's Tem perance Sunday, and the White Bib boners of Harrisburg will worship with Market Square people in a body. These women who have wrought for years for a saloonless nation, are worthy of all honor. For the midweek services the pas tor has planned a series of Bible studies. There has been a demand ever since Dr. Hawes became pastor, that some time should be given to systematic Bible study. He expects lo begin a scries which will take the lovers of the Word through an un usual course. He will go through the Epistles of St. Paul, taking them in the order of their writing. Wednesday night's book is probably the oldest book in the New Testa ment. It is I Thessalonians. "From Where Did Jesus Call the Soul of Lazarus?" is the evening question. Somewhat unusual, but. it raises many point!- which many people ask questions about. M ISCELLAN EOl'S Christian and Missionary Alliance —The Rev. W. 11. Worrall.
