STUART BOOSTS SPROUTS BOOM J. Benjamin Dimmick Also Also Comes Out For the Delaware Countian State political circles were much j interested to-day in a declaration ; made by ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart in favor of the nomination o£ i Senator William C. Sproul, for Gov- j ernor last evening, and a similar declaration by J. Benjamin Dim mick. of Scranton, the anti-Penrose j • andidate for United States Senator j in 1914, for the Delaware man. Governor Stuart sent his letter to i W. W. Matos, secretary of the citi- ; zens" committee which is planning ; for the bit nonpartisan demonstra tion to be given in honor of Senator | Sproul by his neighbors of Delaware ! county at Swarthmore next Satur- I clay night. Former Governor Stuar%s letter ! reads: "I regret exceedingly that a pre- j vious engagement makes it impos- ! j-ible for me to accept the kind in vitation to attend the reception to j lie given to the Honorable William ' C. Sproul by his friends and neigh- i tors in Delaware county on Satur day evening. March 23, 1918, at the | Strath Haven Inn, Swarthmore. Pa. "I am proud to be numbered ! among the friends of William C. Sproul. There has existed between us an unbroken friendship of many years' duration, and I should like very much to be present on the oc- j casion. He richly deserves the tri- j hute to be paid by the reception , planned in his honor.

"He has a- wide acquaintance with the people of all sections, of the | Commonwealth, and knows their needs as affected by the administra i tion of public affairs. He is distin i gulshed by a frank simplicity of I character, steadiness of temper and an honest desire and endeavor to do | his duty. In the true sense of all that j the word implies, he is an American. "On the sunny side of fifty, he is in j the possession of a full measure of I vigor and energy, with a prospect of many years of efficient service before j him. it would be difficult to find a , manmorepre-eminently qualified and | practically equipped to perform the duties of Chief Executive of his na | tive state. "As hand grasps hand in friend ship at the reception let there be a I pledge to support him for the high ! and honorable office of Governor of ; the State of Pennsylvania. 1 shall j be glad to do whatever lies in my | power to aid his neighbors and ! friends to bring about his nomina | tion and election. Itlmmick's letter ' The Philadelphia North American | says relative to Dimmick's letter: "Although a close personal friend l of J. Denny O'Neil, State Commis sioner. Mr. Dimmick to-day pointed j to Senator Sproul as the man to ad j minister the affairs ot Pennsylvania I as Governor during the period of the j war and through the fundamental J adjustments that will inevitably come 1 after the war." Mr. Dimmick wrote: "In my opinion. Senator Sproul meets, completely meets, and to an exceptional extent, these require ments: his lons service in the Senate, his large business responsibilities ! and his vigorous mentality, thor | oughly trained, all justifying that | opinion. I, therefore, favor His elep -5 tion both at the primaries and at Ithe election. "The only regret I have in the sit uation is that J. Denny O'Neil has announced himself us a candidate, for from Mr. O'Neil's association with my campaign in 1914 for better politics, a campaign that I think was not withoiit its influence, and in tho direction intended, upon the state at large, 1 believe in his integrity of character and uprightness of pur pose, and I regret that we cannot see alike in the present situation. "As Senator Sprpul, in my opinion, would be not only a stimulating leader in bringing Pennsylvania's contribution to the war to its high est potency, but would also prove himt-elf an able statesman in the handling of those post-war prob lems to which 1 have alluded, in short, to the unscrambling of the whole situation in so far as 1 will ad mit of, or will lie wise to attempt such unscrambling, 1 am strongly and unqualifiedly for him," Sproul For Berry Senator Sproul would welcome the opportunity of contesting the field with William H. Berry as the Demo cratic candidate, says the Philadel phia Ledger. It was said yesterday that the Republican forces expect Mr. Berry will be the candidate, for it is accepted as certain that Vanco C. McCormick will not run. Mr. McCormick, it was pointed out, has grown into a national figure of such importance that the guberna torial post would not prove attrac tive just now.* Discussing the possibility of air. Berry's entering the race Senator Sproul. said: "1 have the kindliest feeling for him because he is my friend and neighbor. But I can en ter the race with him with the knowledge that he would have no , issue with me on prohibition. I am as strongly convinced of the neces sity now lor prohibition as he is, and I enter the fight with that firm con viction. He would have no issue with me on the Brumbaugh administra tion. because I think it just as un saintly as he does." Mr. Berry said to the North American: "I have not announced my candidacy, There is a strong probability that I may be the man selected by the Democratic party. We had hoped McCormick would ac cept the nomination, but we have been informed that he positively will not consent to run." Germans Took Much War Material and Captured Odessa Without a Fight By Associated Press I'ctrograd (Monday), March 18.— Four regiments took Odessa without a fight, according to advices received here. Tlie Austro-Germans cap tured enormous quantities of war materials and other booty, the ra pidity of the Austro-German occu pation having made removal impos sible. Before retreating, the Rus sians made a feeble effort to set fire to Odesa, out were frustrated by the quick arrival of the enemy. , At Nikolayev the banks immedi ately resumed business under Ger man control. Kharkov was vacated hastily when it was learned that the Austro-Germans had occupied Bakh match, Kontop and Voroja. Three thousand Austro-German! prisoners at Rostov are reported to have armed themselves and captured i the town. The famous Guards regi- | ment from Moscow has been dis armed.

Taxpayers Ask Surcharge of Northumberland Officials Sunbifry, Pa., March 19.—Major General Charles H. Clement and William J. Sanders, Sunbury lawyers, representing taxpayers, to-day took two appeals from the report of Aaron Kaker, of Shamokin, North umberland county, controller, for lit 17, and asked that Frederick R. Dornsife, of Dornsife, and P. Jos eph Schmidt and John J. Koach, of Shamokin. county commissioners, to gether with Raker be surcharged the accounts. They allege that Reese Jeremiah, of Shamokin, county sheriff, was paid $45.75, of county funds for the commitment of William Ross, of Shamokin, to the Eastern Pennsyl vania School for Feeble-minded Persons, at Spring City, Pa., when in truth no services were performed by the Sheriff, Ross having been taken there by the Poor authorities. It is also claimed that a similar amount was paid Jeremiah for com mitting Anthony Codeck, of Shamo kin, to the Spring City institution, although the fare of the prisoner and deputy was paid by the poor authorities of the Shamokln-Coal township district, which they assert would prohibit the sheriff of col lecting transportation from the city.
