C., in whom many lo cal people are interested. The story of the young man's connection with Harrisburg is an interesting one and was given to-day by Miss Glen Gott schall, now with the local Associated Aid Charities, for six years a worker among the southern mountaineers in the great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. A school had been established at that place by the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions and was attended by ,both adults and children, many of whom came from great distances. One day, according to Miss Gott shali's story Roy Nanney arrived at the school and applied for admission. He was u great awkward, over grown boy but he soon showed that he was the possessor of more than usual ability. At the time of his arrival the lad could neither read nor write but before many weeks had passed he began to make sur prising progress under Miss Gott schall's tutelage. Ward of Local Society When a letter arrived one day from the Cheerful Worker's Mission ary Society of the Pine Street Pres byterian Church of this city, offer ing to pay the tuition for some boy in the school, Roy was at once chosen to receive the scholarship. From that time on until his enlist ment, his educational advancement i was rapid. When he, about a year ago, entered the army he was the proud possessor of a good educa tion gained entirely through Harris burg money and a Harrisburg girl. Mr. Nanney heard the call for men and answered eagerly despite the fact that his life in the mountains had given him but little idea of the outside world. He was injured in the battle of Ypres and is at present convalescing in the hospital at Dart ford, England.

Men Are Superb "It is a sight that one never for gets, to go into a 'Y' hut, whether it is a makeshift shack on the front lines, or the great Eagle hut of London, anM sec the room or rooms packed full of soldiers, happy and contented," con tinued Dr. Bagnell. "Besides, all this has a real war value. The better state of mind men are in, the better their morale. One of the most remarkable tilings about the American troops, sol diers and sailers, is their morale, and these great agencies including the F.ed Cross, are it; large part respons ible for it, "One thing 1 want to emphasize, is the character of the men and women who are carrying on this work. No set of men and women that have gone to France surpass them. For sense and courage and character they are superb." Dr. Bagnell paid a glowing tribute to the splendid co-ordination and co operation of all the war relief agen cies. "There is no overlapping and there is the finest feeling everywhere It is very appropriate that the appeal to the country should be a united ap peal. "Finally, it is of the utmost impor tance to note that while it is true the war is drawing to a close, it is also true that the work of these organiza tions becomes, if possible, more Im portant. It will be two years before our boys get back," Doctor Bagnell concluded. "It will be a time of let up, a time of peculiar temptations. We must not only safeguard 6ur boys, but we must make these months count in a great educational way. Plans al ready are well tinder way for the pur pose. They have been approved by the government and every man will have a chance to prepare himself by study and experience for a very much larger and finer usefulness when he returns home than would have been possible under other conditions." Tells of Soldier Need " E. J. Stackpole, district chairman, made a stirring appeal for the sup port of the seven war relief agen- ' cies. He declared that it is highly essentially that money be contrib uted so there will be proper facilities to furnish the soldiers with occupations and a renewed chance in j civil life when they return from the front. Mr. Stackpole also urged that everything possible be done to en sure a pleasant Thanksgiving for the I soldiers now in France. It is through j the seven war relief organisations associated in the United War Work Campaign, he reminded the team cap- j tains, that the lot of the soldier is made as homelike as possible. Mayor Daniel L. Kelster also ad dressed the meeting on the urgency of supporting the United War Work fund. To Receive Reports David E. Tracy, city chairman, and other officials of the city organization were present at the meeting. Posters, buttons, window emblems, pledge cards and receipt books were distri buted. The reports of the canvass will be received at a meeting Saturday noon. Considerable interest Is being mani fested in the mass meeting to be held in the Chestnut street auditorium Thursday night, when Henry Morgen thau, former Ambassador to Turkey, will make, an address. The meeting will be open to the public, and no ad mission tickets will be required. Com plete plans for the meeting will be an nounced to-morrow.

An American patrol crossed the Meuse north of Brieulles on Saturday night and en countered no resistance. To the south enemy machine gunners blazed away at Brieulles and its vicinity, flanking the Americans. The patrol clung to the bank of the river until the Ameri can' artillery opened a barrage and drove back, the enemy. * The Forest De Woevre to the north west is swampy and the Germans have been taking advantage of this fact In holding out for weeks against the French apd Americans in the struggles for possession of this thickly wooded section. The American and French troops yesteaday completed the clearing of the enemy out of the Bourgogne woods by their junction at Nolrval. They then pushed forward northeast ward and captured in rapid succes sion Chatillon Sur Bar and the Bols Duchesne, where the northern edge of the wood was reached. The action at this point was pre dominantly French, but with the Americans Assisting with patrols, who first pushed forward to effect a liaison and then turned northeast ward with the French until they met other Americans near Chatillon and pinched out another slice of terrain. REPUBLICANSTO SWEEP THE STATE [Continued from First Page.] analysis of the claims of the party managers. • The Estimates State Chairman William E. Crow, Republican state committee—At least 200,000 majority for Sproul. Secretary W. Hhrry Baker, Republi can state committee—Away over 150,- 000 for Sproul. • Lieutenant-Governor Frank B. Mc- Clain —Lei's make it 250,000 for Sproul. Senator Sproul—At least 150,000 ma jority. • Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, Demo cratic nominee for Governor—loo,ooo majority for himself. Democratic Slate headquarters Nothing to say. In 1914 Governor Martin G. Brum baugh won ovci Vance C. McCormlck by 134,825 when McCormick was Democratic candidate, backed by u united party and the President, and endorsed by tho Washington party. Sproul Generally Praised Senator Sproul's course in ills cam paign has been generally commended for his manly declaration on prohibi tion, his platform pledges and his dig nified methods, especially when the epidemic began. On the other hand, Judge says that he will win by 100,000. Interests has made booze his guiding star, and campaigned where he listed and without much regard for feelings of people afflicted by the prevailing sickness. Experienced in boasting, as has been said by one big Philadelphia newspaper, he has claimed everything and to-day the Philadelphia Record, which has rupported him and flayfel the Democratic national chairmiro, gives first page prominence to a flam boyant proclamation in which the Judge says that he will win by 100,000. The big newspapers of the ' rlate generally predict Sproul's election. Their unanimity in this direction Is as interesting as the funny course of the newspapers of Democratic National Chairman McCormick, who have no words but those tinctured with gall and wormword fbr Bonniwell. The Philadelphia Ledger, one of the most independent of newspapers, says; "Senator Sproul has won and is en titled to the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens. There is noth ing In the record of his political ac tivities that will justify a doubt that he means what he says when he pledges himself to give the state an administration that shall he free of the sinister and unscrupu lous partisanship which has disgraced it far toft long." The Senator's Views Senator Sproul himself looks for 150,000 majority and in a final re view of the situation Issued at his home on Saturday night remarks upon the unusual features of the campaign. He is much impressed, he says, by the seriousness or the people; .their devotion to the na tional cause as exemplified by send ing their manhood and subscribing of their substance to the loans and in regard to partisan affairs says that the Republicans -are united and intend to obtain progressive and business-like methods in govern ment, which, needless to say, it is the Sproul plan to give. Senator Sproul said he was pleased with the political situation throughout the state and that he was confident his election was as sured. He has received reports from every county in the state, not only through the ordinary channels of political information but through confidential investigations and can vasses. These reports, he said, ver ify those recently made to Senator William E. Crow, chairman of the Republican state committee, and in dicate 150,000 majority as the low est figure. "I am sure," said the Senator, "that the people would have resent ed the ordinary political activities of candidates af a time when the feawul epidemic was at its height and that they must surely be resent ful of any attempt to capitalize for political efTect the necessities of public action growing out of this terrible situation or to turn to par tisan profit even any mistakes made, if there were any made, in fighting the disease which had gripped the state." Crow Forecasts a Notable Victory The statement of Btate Chairman I William E- Crow Is as follows: "I have received reports from political workers and disinterested citizens in every county in the state, and hazed upon the figures furnished by them I am confident that Senator Sproul and the entire Republican ticket will sweep the state with a majority of at least 200,000. 'The partisan appeal of the Pres ident has served to fan the flames of Republicanism until they have de veloped into a ragirtg conflagration that gives promise of sweeping everything before It Reports from what have heretofore been Demo cratic strongholds Indicate a negli gible vote for the Democratic candi date. "Our adjournment of Republican polities In the interest of the Lib erty Loan and the influenza eplde- I v BIG DEMOCRATIC PAPER ENDORSES ROAD LOAN [From the Philadelphia Record, November 3.] IN PLEADING the cause of good roads for Bouth Carolina, The Charleston News and Courier quotes with approval a recent editorial in "The Record" in favor of the proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the issue of $50,000,000 in bonds for high way work in Pennsylvania, and Is also so kind as to refer to "The Record" as the most soundly edited newspaper in the stale, and one of the best in America. This is high praise, but, we trust, not un merited. It leads us to remark that South Carolina is agitating the question of Issuing $10,000,000 in bonds for Vhe improvement of its high ways—an amount which, when the comparative size, population and wealth of the two commonwealths are taken into consideratoin, Is much greater than the $50,000 suggested for this state. This point should not be lost upon the voters of Pennsylvania, who on Tuesday are to pass upon the constitutional amendment submitted to them. Every state in the Union, large or small, rich or poor, is now vitally interested in the question of better roads. If Penn sylvania is to keep up with the procession, if it is to make its high ways as excellent as those which attract so much travel to New York and New England, it must be willing to spend money gener ously. If it does not it must expect to be pilloried throughout the land as the state of bad roads and general unprogressiveness. Pennsylvania is a region blessed with beautiful scenery and many Interesting communities and spots of historic value. It ought to much more generally known to the outside world than it now is. This can only be accomplished by making its roads more tempting to both residents and strangers. The bond issue will make it pos sible to do this in a reasonable time. If these arguments appear sound, vote for the constitutional amendment on By so doing you will render a signal service both to the commonwealth as a whole and to your own home district in particular. .. mic combined, have made campaign-1 ing Impossible for the past six weeks. I was feurful of a light vote being cast in the state. The partisan ap peal of the President, however, has aroused sufficient enthusiasm to Inspire our representatives their efforts in the closing hours of the campaign. If weather conditions permit, I am satisfied that the ave rage gubernatorial vote will be cast and in spite of the many handicaps that have stood in the way, Senator Sproul and his running mates will receive the votes of all the Republi can and Independent voters. I am also well satisfied with the congres sional situation and I think democ racy will have but small represen tation in Pennsylvania's delegation to the next Congress." Lieutenant Governor McClain's statement is as follows: "There is no office in all the land higher than that of Governor of Pennsylvania, except the presidency of the United States. A big man therefore should be elected to fill it. A man who, in his intellect and achievements, symbolizes the great ness of the Commonwealth he seeks to preside over. "The Republican party in Pennsyl vania presents to the electors of the Commonwealth next Tuesday for election to the executive station, a man who won't have to grow up to the job, but instead, a' man who is full grown and 'sizes up" from every angle. Never has a candidate for the office of governor in this or any other state conducted his canvass in a manner more befitting the dignity and Importance of the gubernator ial station and in contrast with the methods employed by his chief op ponents, his conduct tells its own story in a manner more convincing than mere words. He will be elect ed by an overwhelming majority, be cause the people believe in him. They know he has never been a 'trimmer' and as John tVanamaker has recent ly and well said, 'William C. Sproul, during his long public career, has unfailingly "kept the faith.V ' Munce Declares For the Big Road Loan R. L. Munce one of the promi nent farmers and grangers o'f the state and president of the Pennsyl vania Good Roads Association, has issued a statement summing up the situation regarding the $60,000,000 bond issue for road improvements, which comes before Pennsylvania voters to-morrow. Mr. Munce said: "Boiled down, the bond issue proposition is simply this: "Pennsylvania voters are asked to approve an amendment to the ctjn stitution providing that the state may issue bonds to a total of $50,- 000,000, the money to be used for road improvements. "Approval by the voters Is only the first step. The Legislature then passes enabling legislation, setting forth what amount of bonds will be issued, when they shall be issued, and how they will be issued. I do not believe it possible that over $lO,- 000,000 worth will be Issued at any one time. "No bonds will be Issued until after the war. Work on the roads will begin after the war. "if in the reconstruction period which follows the coming of peace Pensylvunla labor is dile for any icason the state, if the bond issue is approved, will have the money with which to build roads and em ploy many thousands of men at good wages. "The completion of the main-road system in every county in the state, iPle if the bond issue iB ap proved, will mean an end to fuel famines such as gripped Pennsyl vania last winter. It will mean cheaper farm produce, because far mers are able to use the roads 365 nays a year, instead of Only in good weather. It will mean that loads will be pulled over the highways, instead or through them, as is the case with our miles of mudways. Remember, too, that If this power H denied the state now, the question cannot be again presented to the voters until 1924 and that no bonds could be Issued until 1926 and no road work done until 1927. Can we afford to wait nine more years before the building of roads in Pennsylvania? "There is nothing political nor partisan about the proposition. It is aimed simply to build Pennsyl vania the best highway system in America. The persons who oppose the state's goihg into debt for this purpose might with as much reason oppose the issuing of Liberty Bonds by the United Stateß government. The road bond issue if It goes through simply means that Pennsyl vania will ride on its roads and send its trucks and wagons over the roads while the roads are being paid for. Every householder in Pennsylvania —every citizen who has his own in terest at heart and who wishes to lower the cost of his own living, will vote to pull Pennsylvania out of the mud." Kephart Leading For Supreme Court Not only will Sproul and his colleagues, Edward E. Beldleman and James F. Woodward and the four Congressional-at-large candl dates of the Republicans win, but it looks ss though a Republican, Judge John W. Kephart. of the Superior court, would be the leader in the Su preme court race. In Central Pennsylvania, where the judge was born, he will get a big vote and Dauphin county will be heavily for him. He Is strong in Northern and Western Pennsylvania and will go to the Philadelphia line with a big majority. Second place lines between Jue NOVEMBER 4, 19T8. " l tice Alexander Simpson, Jr., a guber natorial appointee and a Republican, law partner of Attorney Generul Brown for many years, and Charles B. Lenahan, of Wllkes-Berre. Jus tice Simpson is the leader of the state liar and will poll a huge vote in Philadelphia. Mr. Lenahan is a Dem ocrat, very glorious and lias built up a strong organization in the state. His candidacy extinguishes the chances of Justice Edward J. Fox, of Easton, a Democrat and guberna torial appointee, one of the leading lawyers of Eastern Pennsylvania. There are eight candidates. Each voter may vote for one. Efforts to get the Held narrotred down among the Democrats so that Justice Fox would win failed. The Democrats may lose their sole represehtattve. In the Superior court contest Judge W. D. Porter, one of the ablest men on the bench in Pennsylvania, will be re-elected. He has opposition and it Is important to vote for him, say people who know the value of Judge Porter as a jurist. Chairman Forecasts Big Beidieman Vote "We have reports from every vot ing district in the county," Baid An drew Redmond, chairman of Dau phin County Boosters Committee, to-day, "indicating the election of Senator E. E. Beidieman as lieuten ant governor on the Republican ticket by an overwhelming majority. "While the President's plea has had the effect of uniting Republi cans to a degree that will make the straight ticket more popular to-mor row than in recent years. Senator Beidleman's vote will not be con fined to his party. Democrats by the hundreds will vote for him, and it is our belief that Senator Beidle man's majority in city and county will be the largest given any candi date In many years. "All that remains is for his friends to use their best efforts to get out the vote in his behalf. Interest is widespread in his candidacy. Let us at home make the* majority over whelming." Republicans Will Gain Congressmen Predictions are being made gener ally that the Republicans will gain Congressmen in Pennsylvania, and some of the most careful observers believe that the President's partisan appeal and the course of the ruling powers in the Democratic state or ganization In repudiating the nominee of the Democratic voters at the pri mary for governor has helped the Re publicans. Pennsylvania now has twenty-eight Republicans, seven Democrats and one independent in the lower house of Congress. The New York Herald says the next delegation will stand thirty Republicans and six Democrats. Chaff-man S. D. Fess, of the Republican Congressional cam paign committee, a conservative esti mator, says that there are thirty Re publicans sure, five Democrats sure and one man doubtful.. The Democratic Congressional cam paign Is being run by Homer S. Cum mlngs, of Connecticut, the acting Democratic chairman in place of Vance C.
