WEDNESDAY EVENING, BXBIUBBUBO lTCu£i3ttLPR FEBRUARY 27, 1918.
! DR. HARRIS SEES
"DRY" ASSEMBLY
Head of the Dry Federation
Urges That Attention Be
Given to Legislators
That there is more than a fight
ing chance for the election of a
"dry" majority in the -next legisla
ture was the opinion advanced by
Dr. John Royal Harris, state super
intendent of the Dry Federation of
Pennsylvania in a. statement issued
here to-day. Dr. Harris' canvass of
the situation is based upon the after
math of the annual convention of
the "drys" held here ten days ago.
including: reports from some of the
counties and personal visits to others.
"Our recent convention," said Dr.
Harris, "impressed upon us most
forcibly the fact that the 'dry'
forces in Pennsylvania propose to
stand together in the elections of
this year and that, in our minds, re
moves the last vestige of doubt that
we can elect sufficient members of
♦he next general assembly to insure
the ratification of the national pro
hibition amendment. Heretofore our
forces have been split in several dis
tricts and the result has been that
the enemy candidates have been
elected. This year all the 'dry'
forces propose to present a solid
front and this makes victory not only
a possibility but a probability.
"Another reassuring feature of
our fight to drive saloons from Penn
sylvania is the interest taken in the
question by persons who have not
heretofore done so one way or the
other. I refer to the non-voting
class. We have received so many in
quiries from persons desiring to be
informed as to what procedure they
must follow in order to qualify to
participate in the May primaries that
we are convinced that these inquir
ies come from the non-voting class
who desire to be in position this
year to aid the 'dry' cause.
"It is our judgment that the stay
at home vote will be out4n the May
primaries and that it will have a de
cided effect upon the outcome and on
the side of the 'dry' cause, I am sure.
So many persons have given little
heed to the economic question In
volved In the consumption of liquor
until recently. And I believe that
the great war has had the effect of
making many think on this sub
ject as they have never thought be
fore. This really is our whole fight,
to get people to think and then vote.
If they do these two things I have
not the slightest doubt that Penn
sylvania's black record will be made
white at the next session of the leg
islature.
"In this state the 'dry' campaign
Is much more complicated than in
some other states where the question
was submitted to the people to vote
upon It 'yes' or 'no.' Hero we must
elect members of the legislature who
will vote right on this question. And
as there are 28 senators and 207 rep
resentatives to be elected this year,
it will require great care to make
certain that tho people know when
they go to vote who are the bona fide
'dry' candidates and the 'wet* can
didates. This is the task to which
we are addressing ourselves. We
propose to see to it that there Is a
'dry' candidate of the two principal
political parties in every district and
then we will inform the people
therein who the right man is."

KIDNEYS NEVER"
CAUSE BACKACHE
Rub pain, soreness and stiff -
1 ness right out with old
"St. Jacobs Liniment"
I Kidneys cause backache? No!
They have no nerves, therefore can
not cause pain. Listen! Vour back
ache is caused by lumbago, sciatica
or a strain, and the quickest relief
is soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs
Liniment." Rub it right on the ache
or tender spot, and. instantly the
pain, soreness stiffness and lameness
disappears. Don't stay crippled! Get
a small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs
Liniment" from your druggist and
limber up. A moment after It is
applied you'll wonder what became
of the backache, sciatica or lum
bago pain. "St. Jacobs Liniment"
stops any pain at once. It is harm
less and doesn't burn or discolor
the skin.
It's the only application to rub on
a woak. lame or painful back, or
for lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia,
; rheumatism, sprains or a strain.

Governor Raps
Referendum Plan
Governor Brumbaugh and High
way Commissioner OtNeil last night
rapped the special referendum plan
for the prohibition amendment. The
commissioner said as far as he is
concerned it goes into the primary.
Governor Brumbaugh said: "I
notice that some politicians speak of
a special referendum on the Shep
pard amendment. This is an old
and discarded idea. It reflects no
credit to its sponsors and will de
ceive no one. The liquor forces
tried to nurse it into life in several
neighboring states and it died before
it was born—as it should here. We
[ shall have a definite referendum in
j May and again in November. The
| people will decide this matter in
the choice of their officials, execu
tive and legislative, and no political
; manipulation, deception or delay
i will be tolerated."
