Then they tell me how
bright and cheerful my offices
fire, and congratulate me on
the homelike and inviting
appearance of my reception
parlor-—all of which is very
gratifying, as it is my constant
aim and purpose to render
the most efficient and satis

Robin Redbreast Builds
Nest Near Editorial Office
Have you seen any robins yet?
Well, they are here in force, un-
Hooverized, too, as their sleek, fat
pauches show. One hearty, happy
redbreast arrived, bag and baggage
from southern climes last Saturday
and began to make lodgings for
himself in an apple tree which
*iades the big window of the Tele
graph editorial rooms. A forty-mile
gale did not disturb him in the least
as he went industriously about own
ing his own home. "None of that rent
thing for him. In fact he had a
good foundation of home left
from last year, so without any
squaks about shortage ef labor or
material he soon made himself com
fortable and is now all prepared for
wife, kiddies, and a war gardtn
or two.

M'CORMICKSAYS
HE WON'T RUN
Humes Looms Up Since the
Sproul Declaration For the
Amendment's Passage
National Chairman Vance C. Mc-
Cormick declared to newspapar in
terviewers at Atlantic City yesterday
that "under no circumstances" could
he be isegarded as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Pennsylvania. However,
many Democrats have declined to
accept the statement as final and
the partisans of E. Lowry Humes,
United States district attorney for
Western Pennsylvania, are continu
ing their attacks upon Acting State
Chairman Joseph F. Guffey as
possible candidate, although he is'
booked to start as a stalking horse;
on the part of the machine bosses.
The uncertainty in the Democratic
state organization thus far has been
largely due to conditions in the Re
publican party. The Democratic,
bosses have naturally waited for
declarations from the leading Re
publicans on the prohibition amend
ment, hoping to take advant:ge of
any divisions which might arise on
that issue. The Philadelphia North
American to-day says that the
Sproul declaration commits the Re
publican party to ratification of the
amendment and gives the interesting
information that "for two months or
more it has been known- that Sproul,
the party's probable nominee for
governor at the forthcoming pri
maries, had decided upon commit
ting himself in favor of ratifying the
Federal amendment."
6; (i slirdhietaoicmfwy li'intaioleouu
Harmony Predicted
The Philadelphia Press savs ?n a!
Washington dispatch: "Wiliiam C.
Sproul will have as his chief plank
in his platform for the Republican
nomination for governor advocacy
of the national prohibition amend
ment .and a local option law for
Pennsylvania;"
The Press also says that the Vareal
are in an embarrassing place. They
are being asked by the Governor to
support O'Neil. It remarks: '.'As
politicians the Vares must tie their
fortunes to rising powers. And
although Senator Penrose has tried
to place his stamp on Senator Sproul
the Vares are satisfied that he would
be fair to them and, therefore, are
expected at least to remain nega
tive in the primary campaign if they
are not active. Whether they ore
active depends to a great extent up
on the makeup of the ticket. They
do not propose to create a condition
in the primaries which would make
it impossible to elect Sproul in No
vember. A condition not far from
harmony it 1s predicted will prevail
in Pennsylvania politics * before Ilia
primary." „ ,
State fo Be "Dr.v"
The North American in dispussing
the Sproul declaration as committing
the Republican organization to pro
hibition, says:
"At one of the recent conferences
here, it was announced that, as a re
sult of a canvass of opinion made
•by Secretary Harry Baker, of the
state committee, at least fifty-five
of the sixty-seven counties of the
state are lined up strongly "dry/'
Upon this showing of antibooze
• strength, it was argued that the j
state committee should formally
commit the party to ratification of
the amendment. Further, a proposi
tion was seriously considered to call
upon Governor Brumbaugh to make
good his suggestion of calling a spe
cial session of the Legislature, in or-i
der to overwhelmingly ratify the
amendment at once and get the li
quor question out of politics.
"During these discussions Senator
Sproul held fast to his own decis
ion to declare in favor of the amend
ment, and allow the rising tide to
sweep the objectors from their moor
ings. His judgment has apparent
ly been vindicated, for from Penrose
down, there has come no dissent to
the declaration made by Sproul at
West Chester on Saturday, in which
he committed himself, and the ticket
which he expects to head, to the
Federal amendment. Neither the
candidacy of Highway Commission
er J. Denny O'Neil on a one-issue
prohibition platform, or the threats
of the liquor interests to run a hooze
candidate on an avowed 'liberal'
platform, have seemed to bother
Sproul at all."
McCormiek Wants Peace
"Pennsylvania Democrats can
elect the governor in the Keystone
State next fall if they get together
behind the right man," Vance C.
McCormick, Democratic national
chairman, said to a Philadelphia
Ledger reporter at Atlantic City yes
terday. "The Democrats cannot "win
unless they stop bickering and pick
the right man. I can lay stress upon
this point', because under no Circum
stances am I to' be regarded ss a
.candidate. My announcement some
weeks ago stands. Given the right
man I believe Pennsylvania can be
carried by the Democrats, support
ed by Independent Republicans.
There never was a state that needed
a change so badly."
Mr. McCormick said he was not in
a position to discuss candidates and
declined to express any opinion as
to the probable course of the state
committee with relation to the ques
tion of prohibition.
"Senator Sprout's espousal of pro
hibition gave me something of a
jolt," he said. "It is hard to con
ceive of Penrose standing for a dry
Pennsylvania, and It is almost equal
ly difficult to believe Senator Sproul
would commit h'imself without con
sulting the Senator. He may not
have been correctly quoted."

NEWS OF
TO SOFTEN WATER
AT STEEL PLANT
Method Is Being Planned by
Officials to Overcome
Boiler Trouble
Plans are under way for softening
water for use in boilers at the local
steel plant, it was learned at the
company's offices this morning. Def
inite announcement of the improve
ment will be made as soon as plans
ore completed, which will bo prob
ably next week.
For a long time canal water has
been used for the boilers, but this i
has not been satisfactory. The water i
Is too hard and puts the boilers out i
of commission faster than they can j
be repaired.
Just what method will be used in
softening the water for boiler pur- j
roses was not announced, but it Is !
understood that the water will be |
treated in boiler plants, which will
•lot necessitate the erection of a j
1 uilding or any additions to the boil-I
or plain. •
The water supply for boilers has |
bein taken from the canal for many |
years, borough filtered water not be- j
ing" used for this purpose. Accord- j
ing to officials, this water is entire- j
ly too hard and placed the boilers |
Ir. such condition that it was impos- j
sible to keep them repaired. The re
pair gangs were unable to keep up
with the breakdowns.
It was learned this morning that
the new method will be put Into use
as soon as the plans are completed.
