I Roll Phone 3515 —J POLITICAL ADVERTISING Congressman Suggests Leiby Should Enlist Washington, D. C., September 30, 1918. * \ When Congressman Benjamin K. Focht was shown Senator Scott Leiby's statement as published in Democratic Boss Vance Mc- Cormick's Harrisburg NEWS of the 27th, and his Harrisburg PATRIOT of the 28th, the Congressman was loth to discuss it until after the Liberty Loan campaign, but yielded from his purpose to the extent of making the following observations: "I cannot conceive that the distinguished State Senator would undertake to prosecute a campaign of any such hypothesis, unless he believes, as do most of the southern Demo crats who are in the saddle here, that the only patriots anywhere are Democrats, and the only fit Congressmen are 'rubber stamp' legis lators. Mr. Leiby's announcement is some what on the order of the old-time newspaper blackguardism which invariably brought par ticipants well-deserved defeat. It is the type of campaigning characteristic of the Demo cratic papers published in the Seventeenth District by Government office holders, which is usually too absurd to seriously countenance. That Mr. Leiby made these statements would be beyond belief but for the recollection of the cruel exaggeration and misrepresentation of the public record of that fine old gentleman and Civil War veteran, Senator Martin, which secured Leiby's election by a fluke in 1916. Thus it seems to come easy for Mr. Leiby to refer to me in his announcement as possessed of 'MEAN PARTISANSHIP AND NAR ROWNESS OF SOUL.' "Since the day war was declared I have been overwhelmed with work, looking after the interests of the boys going to and at the front, and their good folks at home, and at this time have nothing further to say other than that Leiby comes rather late with his warcry, inas much as the war is nearing its end. Never-; theless, there is still an opportunity for him under the new draft law. I VOTED FOR WAR AFTER DIPLOMACY HAD FAILED AND SINCE THEN HAVE VOT ED FOR EVERY BILL GIVING ALL POWER AND MONEY REQUIRED OR ASKED FOR BY THE GOVERNMENT TO SUCCESSFULLY PROSECUTE THE WAR. AMONG THESE MANY BILLS WAS ONE PROVIDING SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLIONS FOR AERO PLANES ! Now, if this war is not going fast enough and is not bloody enough for Mr. Leiby, he should enlist and at once go to France and show Marshal Foch how to do it. "It will be remembered how the late la mented and beloved Colonel Thomas J. Stew art enjoyed telling from the stump that he should have entered the Civil War at its begin ning, for then it would soon have been over. The strife ended three days after the Colonel joined his regiment. Here is a suggestion for Leiby, and its adoption would prove some thing more worthy than his false intimations intended to discredit me. "Since I am well known from one end of •the Seventeenth District to the other, I am not concerned about the 'hand-picked' candi date's undignified method of seeking a seat in Congress. The people in every township know where I have stood on all questions before the war, they know where I stand at this time, and they know where I will stand during the great reconstruction period after the war, when the interests of the soldier, the manu facturer, the farmer and the salaried men and women and the laborer are at stake. "I must be excused from saying anything further at this time, for I deem it the duty of all Americans to help make the Fourth Liberty Bond Issue a smashing success rather than engage in political controversy." SATURDAY EVENING, RATOUSBOTMi TELEGKXPH OCTOBER 5, 1918. Several hours after the first re ports were received the soldiers and a company of home guards were patrolling the streets of Hopewell, but firing still was continuing in the negro quarter. It was estimated that more than 1,000 shots were fired j uring the rioting, but only meater reports as to casualties had been received late last night. The riot started when a white steward In a restaurant slapped a negro woman employed there as a coo.k. Delmonico's Passes Into Receivers' Hands New York, Oct. s.—War-time economies practiced by wealthy New Yorkers resulted yesterday In the appointment by the Federal-Court of two receivers to take over .Del monico's famous restaurant, which j has been operated under the same name and family management for approximately 100 years.

Willys announces the acquisition of control by the Willys-Overland Company yf the Moline Plow Company, manufac turers of the Moline-Universal Trac tor, with plants at Moline, Chicago, Rock Island and Freeport, Illinois; Stoughton, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Minnesota and Poughkeepsle, New York. T.lie transaction is the most Im portant In years in the agricultural machinery industry, the Moline Com pany. founded in 1865, being or.o of the oldest farm implement concerns in the United States. Through the purchase in 1916 and subsequent de velopment of the Universal Traclcr Company, it Is to-day one of the largest tractor producers in the world. The Imperative wartime need -of tractors for farm development, the willingness of the government to as sist production through the grant of priorities for the shipment of steel, and the desire of John N. Willys to further co-ordinate the Immense factory and distributing facilities of the Willys-Overland organization 111 tne winning of the war have brought aDo,ut the new union of automobile and tractor interests, i T 'l, e Moline Product Itself is unique in that the tractor and the farm im plement are so connected as to form a complete unit, which one man can operate. It is the only tractor which Mil do all farm work without horses. At no time In its history has the Moline Company been able to supply the demand for its tractor, although shipments are now running fifty trac tors per day. The Moline Plow Company has 22 wfi. J 100368 and 30,000 dealers, m , J, 8 ". M er ' and c <"npany has over 100 distributors and 5,000 dealers. As a result of the probable cessation of passenger car production by Willys overland early next year the entire selling forces of both companies, as r a? thelr combined manufacturing facilities, will be available for con centration on the development of the tractor as far as may be compatible with the desire of the Food Adminis tration to stimulate food production. In announcing the closing of ne gotiations for the purchase of the Mo line Company, President John N. Willys said: "With the present shortage of manpower and horses on the farm and the acute war necessity, abroad and at home, of increased food pro duction, the farmer is confrpnted with the problem of Increasing his crops with less help. The tractor with power-drawn , farming imple ments solves the need by enabling one man, woman, boy or cripple to do the work formerly required of two met* and six to eight horses. "With it one man can" plow an acre an hour at a fuel cost of only two gallons of gasoline." In the purchase of ths Moline Plow Company I find not only an op portunity for the Willys-Overland Company to lend its maximum man ufacturing strength to legitimate war work, but the best ana quickest way for it to attain a lead In a field which offers the greatest possibili ties with the return of peace and into which motor companies in this age of power farming, it seems to me, must sooner or later enter. "The. Moline organization will re main Intact and the company will be operated under the same management as heretofore. F. G. Allen, vice-pres ident and general manager, will be come President and general mdnager. The Willys-Overland Company has simply bought control of the Moline Plow common stock—there is no thought of a merger and no change in the latter'a financial status is con templated." To Rush Coal to Towns in Dire Need A number of towns which have not received their allotments of anthra cite coal for the coming winter now i re .J n ?. need for coal that the i Committee of the State I ucl Administration has given in structions to anthracite producers and distributors to fill the orders of those communities before the end of this month. The operators and distribub tors were directed by the committee to send weekly statements of the amount of coal shipped to the com munities. Places where speeding up of coal shipments have been ordered include Bloomsburg. Carlisle. Columbia and Milton. The amount of coal allotted to the committee aggregate 80,000 tons. _ ' Memorial Service For West Fairview Heroes Indefinitely Postponed The memorial service to be held In fr™"!;"' M Carrol and Charles ', hmeroio sons of Mr. and Mrs. Charles E.

TRAFFIC JAN. 1 Uncle Sam, the "Traffic Cop," to Give "Go Ahead" Sig nal on That Date For the first time In fifteen years the unbroken procession of passen gqrears in various etagea of produc tion at the Packard factory in De troit has come to a dead stop. Uncle Sam, the industrial traffic cop, will not call a halt on passenger car pro duction and give tho "Go Ahead" signal to exclusive U. S.-to-Berlin traffic until January 1, but the Pack ard' Company, consistent with its 100 percept, war work pledge, has already dlecontinued building pas senger cars. And this in the face of an active demand for a dependable car in these days or high speed effi ciency. The predominating colors of Pack ard blue and lustrous black have given way to olive drab and cam ouflage in the Packard shops. In place of the long lines of chasses growing part by part into completed cars are seemingly endless trains of airplane motors. The stockroomß, former storehouses of automobile parts' are now crowded with airplane motor assemblies and other units used in implements of war. Tho enameling ovens, in which fenders nd other parts were given their last process before going on a car, are now filled with tier upon tier of airplane engine cylinders. There are thousands upon thousands of them. More than a thousand khaki-clad womon,.specially trained in the Pack ard technical school are now a sub stantial part of an army of skilled workers who operate machines to produce equipment for the boys at the front. Women are employed on every branch of war work, from assem- j bling airplane motors to sewing the ! linen on airplane wings. In the truck plant the ruling shade : is also also the olive-drab of the army, with an occasional brighter bit of color on a truck for one of tho I Industries listed as essential by the 1 War Industries Board.
