HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH CUMBERLAND TO GO REPUBLICAN l "Dry" Candidates For Legis lature Add Much to Strength of Ticket There Carlisle, Pa., Nov. 2.—lndications ; are that Cumberland county will give j a fine majority for the Republican i Ucket next Tuesday. Ross Beckley, j of Lower Allen township, and Wil- Ham C. Bowman, of Lemoyne, candi dates for the Legislature, are both "dry" and this is adding much strength to the ticket in temper ance quarters and as sentiment is strong for prohibition in the county this means much for the whole ticket. Both men hove been the victims of serious attacks of influenza and for that reason have not been able to wage a very vigorous campaign, although their friends have been getting about for them- Both are nw recovering and will get over the county to-day and Monday. They are confident of election. Mr. Beck ley was formerly a school director and school teacher. He is a Sunday school superintendent and Bible class teacher. He is well known as a man of high ideals and practical ideas and unquestionably would make a splendid representative. Mr. Bowman is a son of Dr. Bow man, of Lemoyne, and was for years a school teacher and for some time the very successful principal of the schools of his home town. He is well known throughout the country and has hundreds of friends. He stands very high with those who know him. SPROUL WILL GET A LARGE VOTE [Continued from First Page.] roads will come pretty nicely under the wire, but that the Philadelphia bonded debt limit change amendment will be defeated. Four years ago 1,111,252 Pennsyl vanlans voted in the gubernatorial election and two years ago 1,297,292 voted in the presidential election. It is estimated that over 325,000 are in the service of the republic because of war and that well nigh a quarter of a million are overseas. The latter can not possibly vote. Commission ers have been sent to the men jn the military and naval establishments in this country to obtain the ballots of the men in the service. In addition there are many men who because of connection with various governmental and industrial activities incident to the war who are away from home and a fairly large percentage of them will not vote. There are men in every election who do not vote and this is a year when politics has been sub ordinated in the mind of the average man, if not in the estimation of the rulers. The falling off in the vote for various reasons will affect the two leading parties proportionately, it is believed. Some men think that 700,000 men will vote; others look for three quar ters of a million and some go be low 675,000. Democratic Noise One of the big Philadelphia news papers remarked the other day that the men in charge of the Democratic campaign are "experienced boasters." The state has long noted the skill" in that direction of Democratic Na tional Chairman Vance C. McCormick, Democratic National Chairman A.33 Democratic National Committeeman A. Mitchell Palmer and others of that ilk who have run the weather worn Democratic ship on the rocks in spite of a full crew and all needed stores furnished by the President of the United States. Judge Eugene C. Bon niwell, the nominee of the Democratic voters for Governor of Pennsylvania in spite of Palmer and McCormick and repudiated by the Democratic state committee, is somewhat of a boaster himself. When not employ ing their vocal powers in derogation of each other the men of the Demo cratic factions have been claiming everything in sight. The organized liquor interests who are behind Bon niwell are also experienced in boast ing. And in addition to the volume of noise created by these discordant ele ments the President of the United States has trumpeted for election of Democrats to Congress. President Hurts Party Indications are that the voters of Pennsylvania will vote heavily for Sproul because he typifies the stand of the people in regard to Prohibition and for Republicans for the various offices because they resent White House interference in state affairs and the employment for personal ag grandizement of a war in which Pennsylvania has given more than a tenth of men and supplies. Impressions generally are that the President's appeal has hurt his party's candidates as much as the action of the McCormick-Palmer controlled state committee damaged its works in repudiating the nominee of a di rect primary. In addition to the strength of Sproul as a "dry" candidate there is everywhere recognition that he has the business ability required to re organize the state government after the war strain is lifted Just as the people realize tiiat Republican Con gressmen should be sent to Washing ton to protect the industries and wel fare of the Keystone Commonwealth. Pennsylvania always feels trade con ditions; often among the first. South ern economists have more than once hurt the business structure of Penn sylvania and injured the interests of labor. This is going to be another Repub lican year. The Republican party is united. The primary left no sore's. The staunchest supporter of Senator Sproul is J. Denny O'Neil, the man he defeated, and his friends are behind the experienced legislator and capable businessman from Delaware county. So are "dry" men without regard to party. Only a fragment of the Pro hibition party, struggling to main tain a place in the archives, clings to Its gubernatorial nominee. The rest are for Sproul. And. so, it may be said, are many Democrats who bow no knee to party bosses. Congressional Battles National attention has been at tracted ~to the Dauphin-Cumberland- Lebanon district, which ia the home of Democratic National Chairman Vance C. McCormick and has no Democratic candidate for congress at all, and iqterest hinges on the 16th, 17th and 20th in the South Central end, and the 10th, 11th and 21st up the state with some in the 12th or Schuylkill district. The latter is not regarded as debateable since George Franklin Brumm got out of the race and the election of John Reber,- Pottsville Republi can, to represent the big anthracite county is as certain as the re-election of Edggr R. Keiss In'the WUliams port district and of W. W. driest In Lancaster. , Congressman B. F. Focht is going back to Washington with an empha tic endorsement of his preparedness foresight and approval of his old age pension and other ideas. Mr. Focht has gone all through the seventeenth district, say men who keep tabs, and It looks as though he is going to carry every county. The president's appeal has strength ened Focht. Reports coming down the river are that'A. W. Duy, of llloomsburg, is going to win over Congressman John V. Lesher. Leshor has gotten tangled up in factional tights and the president hit him a sideswipe, too. In the 20th or York-Adams dis trict, the situation is much as it is in Northumberland. A. R, Brod beck, the Democratic; incumbant, has been much in Democratic squabbles and is up against E. S. Brooks, who has a good organiza tion behind him. People from up In Luzerne county say that Ed Curpenter is going to win. The Lacwawanna or Tenth district presents a.n interesting fight and friends of Congressman John R. Farr predict his election. In the Clearfield region they pre dict election of E. J. Jones in the 21st and that John M.
