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. Rose will go
to congress from the 19th or Blair-
