No such reticence marked his at titude toward the cantonment, how ever. lie went everywhere, saw ev erything, spoke to everybody and then observed: "It is wonderful, wonderful.

By all means, a searching in vestigation should be instituted and legal proceedings taken to expose and correct the fraudulent returns. "No methods were too desperate for the contractor-bund to employ to defeat the will of the people at Tues day's election. Men who deliberately used gunmen and murder to carry the primary would, of course, not stop at anything to avert disaster and defeat at the election. "An especially careful scrutiny should be given the returns of the soldiers' votes from the camps. These votes were taken by owing allegiance to the Vares, with apparently wide-open opportunity for juggling. It is significant, not to say suspicious, that these returns I have been held back while the result in the city has been in question. "If necessary, every ballotbox should be opened in court, and the light of publicity turned upon tho election returns. "The fight to clean house in Phila delphia has just begun, and it could have no better start than by a thor ough exposure of the fraudulent methods used by contractor govern ment to resort to the tactics of gun men to mob the Town Meeting Party ticket in the election." Congressman Vare, in a statement rrade at Washington last night, de clared tha. the Vare-Smith ticket had won a clean-cut victory and that the election marked tho "elimination of Senator Penrose as a factor in the Republican Party." Meanwhile the pollbooks, 'recording the soldier vote of Philadelphians jn the several encampments, began tu l'ivlng at the State Department in Harrisburg yesterday. Seventy of these books arrived in Harrisburg with commissioners from Camps Meade, and Lee. Probably thirty of the pollbooks are from com panies containing Philadelphia sol diers, and many others will be re turned at Harrisburg showing how the Philadelphians voted. Pollbooks turned in from some of the former South Philadelphia companies show solid votes for the Vare-Smith can didates.

Soldiers Watch Food Conservation Drive With Much Interest in Camp Soldiers in camp and soldiers at the front are watching with deep in terest the enlisting of soldiers in the connervation army. Word came to Philadelphia yesterday that in one camp 26,000 soldiers hud signed the pledge card simply as an evidence of their laith in the folks back home. In all of the camps and canton ments tlie soldiers are studying the figures on the enrollment. Knowing that Pennsylvania led all the states of the Union last July in tho prelim inary campaign the men are confi dent that their native state will hold its position at this time. Major General Kuhn, in command of Camp Meade, which is made up principally of Pennsylvania men, has sent the following telegram to Dr. J. Russell Smith, in charge of the Philadelphia campaign of the Penn sylvania Committee of Public Safety: "The serjous business of war de mands personal sacrifice from every member of the nation.

Knitting Is Encouraged by War Department Despite contradictory reports which have been in circulation, the knitting of sweaters, mitts and other comfort articles for soldiers is en couraged by tho War Department. The Pennsylvania Committee of Pub lic Safety is enabled to make this re assuring announcement on official authority to all mothers, wives, sweethearts and friends of men in the service. ~ No attention should be paid to ru mors to the effect that knitted goods are not acceptable and that Array men are not permitted to receive them.

All such articles should be knitted in neutral colors, otherwise the soldiers will not be al NOVEMBER 7, 1017. lowed to use them. The reason for this ruling is plain. Bright colors render soldiers conspicuous and ex pose them unnecessarily to the enemy's tire. It is much preferred by the War Department that knitted goods be given to tho Red Cross for distribu tion as that organization knows ex actly where there is most need of them. The department, however, does not deny anyone the right to donate such goods to individuals or to regi mental units. JOHN KEENER DIES Mount Joy, Pa., Nov.
