Candidates Must Be For Amendment Men who are candidates for state or legislative oflices and who are not favorable to ratification of the dry amendment need not look for support from-Governor Brumbaugh or any one connected with his ad ministration, according to a tate ment made last night by Governor Brumbaugh in addressing the repre sentatives of the organized Bible classes of Pennsylvania at a meet ing held in the executive department reception room last night. The Governor said in parte "We fought for and lost," said the Governor. '"We fought and lost again. We stood with local option as our goal. Now the times have changed. Out of the great war there has come an oppor tunity to et a higher goal for our selves. Those who defeated us in the tights for local option now come and offer local option. We don't want it. We won't accept any such compromise. We have set a higher standard for ourselves. The decent citizenship of this state will now be atisfled with nothing less than na tional prohibition. As for myself and all those with whom my influ ence may have weight, no support will be given to any candidate, either for executive or legislatice office, who is not squarely committed in favor of national prohibition. "What is more, the past record of the men who make their stand must be such that there is reason to be lieve their present profession. We yant no political deathbed changes of heart. It will be the better part of wisdom in all cases of doubt to stand by candidates who have stood by the prohibitive cause in its dark hours, rather than those who may now be bowing to the inevitable." PENNSYLVANIAOWES U. S. GOV'T $2,868,000 [Continued from First Page.] ton, for over eight years under the two administrations of Governor Pattison and had to deal with all the financial transactions of the state and the Federal government, went on to say: "To one familiar with the his tory of the financial relations be tween* the Federal government and the several states, it is a fact well known that under the act of Con gress of June 23, 1836, the Federal government, having a large amount of surplus revenue on hand, was au thorized to deposit $28,000,000 of that surplus, in specified portions! among twenty-six states. Pennsyl vania received and accepted several instalments of her share of the de posit, amounting in all, in round numbers, to $2,888,000. "These instalments were received by the Secretary of the Common wealth and held by hint until '.hey were properly disposed of by the State Legislature. The money was received upon the execution of cer tificates of deposit therefor, pledg ing the f&tth of the state for the safekeeping and repayment of the several instalments received when the general government should de mand the same. This was the first money in bulk which Pennsylvania found it necessary to apportion among the banks of the state. It was deposited with the Bank of Pennsylbania, Philadelphia Bank, Bank of Moyamensing, of Philadel phia, and in the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Bank of Pittsburgh, according to theifc respective capi tals actually paid-in. The Bank of Pennsylvania and "the Philadelphia Bank were to pay the state 6 per centum per annum interest, and the other banks 5 per centum from the day of deposit. The fund arising from the interest paid by these banks was ordered to be paid and applied to the fund for the support of com mon schools withiin the Common wealth. "Pennsylvania, abou-t this time, being in anything but a prosperous iinancial condition, received legisla tive authority to use 1150,000 of the deposit ol! Federal surplus, revenue to make up the deficiency in the semiannual Interest due on state loans, February 1, 1837, and to meet the ordinary and current demands upon the state government. "It may be remembered rtjat some twenty or twenty-one years ago Pennsylvania (and other states, each the amount due them individually) was paid back, by the United States government, about $1,900,000 being the Pennsylvania amount of direct tax which had been levied upon and collected from, the states, by the gen eral government durMng the war be tween the states. When the bill pro viding for this reimbursement was pending before the House of Repre sentatives in Congress an amend ment was added, making the de posits of surplus revenue in all the states which had received it, a set off against the claims for direct tax. This amendment was inserted, but afterwards so strenuously opposed by the state agents Interested that it was stricken out and when .'lie measure finally became a law, the setoff was not part of it and Penn sylvania WM reimbursed in the full amount of her claim for direct tax. "This Is the whole story." Mrs. Kate Hertzler of East Locust street, Meehunicsburg, is seriously il at her home.

EXPERIENCES IN SOUTHERN CAMP Visits Son at Camp Hancock and Entertains Harrisburg Lads at a Dinner it I jaw EUGENE DAVIS John Davis, of the Auditor Gener al'.s Department, has just returned after a visit to his son, Eugene Davis, at Canip Hancock, Augusta, Ga., with a vivid account of Harrisburg boys' [experiences in camp. When he left camp the boys were just coming out of the so-called Gas Chamber—that is, they had been having practice under their gas masks. They are having ideal spring w-eather down there now. according to Mr. Davis. The people of the South, however, think it is extremely cold. The camp Is ideal—mess halls and tents are sa well-kept as any mother could desire, and because of the sandy soil the drill grounds are entirely without mud. Mr. Davis compared the place to Atlantic City, because halt hour after a storm there is not a trace of it left. Mr. Davis entertained a number of Harrisburg lads at dinner Sunday evening at Hotel Genesta, Augusta, in honor of his son, Eugene Davis. The , guests were: Joseph Ogelsby, Cor- , poral Lewis, Horace Cassell, Bandell ' Erdly, Eugene Davis, all of the Ar- i tillery and Machine Gun companies.
