BOY IN HOSPITAL
ON KING'S VISIT
Cheerful Workers of Pine
Street Church Paid For the
Mountaineer's Education
In a recent newspaper article tell
ing of the visit of King George of
England, at a big military hospital,
. where a number of American pa
tients were convalescing, mention
was made of Roy Nanney, of
Rutherford, N. 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.

BAGNELL TELLS
VALUE OFWAR WORK
[Continued from First Page.]
the camps both at home and abroad,
and told the committeemen of the
value of the work they are accom
plishing.
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.

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

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.

Brown for many years, and Charles

tice Simpson is the leader of the state

His candidacy extinguishes the
chances of Justice Edward J. Fox, of

There are eight candidates. Each
voter may vote for one. Efforts to

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. McCormick, and while there
is not so much ragtime coming from
the Democratic windmill as usual, yet
the noise goes on.

Senator Beidieman
Predicts Landslide
"Senator Sproul and the whole
Republican ticket will be elecTed to
morrow by a vote that will approach
a landslide," declared Senator E. E.
Beidieman, Republican candidate
for lieut. governor, after receiving
last minute reports from the Repub
lican State headquarters In Phila
delphia and from all over the state.
"Thte Democrats will not get even
a normal Democratic vote," he
added, "and I look for the election
of Senator Sproul by one of the i
largest majorities in many years,
and along with him his colleagues
on the state ticket and an almost
solid Republican delegation to Con
gress. The campaign has looked
good from the start and prospects
brighten as it comes to a 01086."
Senator Beidieman expressed the
belief that the $50,000,000 good
roads loan will be passed also by a
handsome majority. "From all parts
of the state the reports are most
favorable to the rpad loan," he said.
"Not only Is the town vote over
whelmingly in favor of It, but there
Is a rapidly growing sentiment for
It among the farmers which was not
prseent in previous years."
Senator Beidieman will hoar the
returns kt tha Repabllcan state
headquarters to-gsorrw evening.
The county headquarters will be
open as usual.

New York, Nov. 4.—The closing
of the campaign in the Middle At
lantic and New England states to
day was marked by a general quick
ening of interest. In contrast to the
apathy that characterized the early
days of the contests. There also wus
apparent, as an aftermath of the
heated political discussions over the
President's appeal for support, a
greater Interest In the contests for
Congressional seats. In many states,
however, gubernatorial and purely
local issues overshadowed all others.
In New York, the contests for
forty-three seuts in Congress attract
ed but little interest as compared
with the bitter campaign between
Governor Charles S. Whitman, Re
publican, and Alfred E. Smith, Dem
ocrat, for the Governorship.
Pennsylvania's voters seemed to bo
chiefly Interested in the liquor ques
tion,- the Republican nominee for
Governor, William C. Sproul, running
on a '"dry" platform ugainst Eugene
C. Bonnlwell, Democrat, who has
been charged with being supported
by the liquor dealers.
Senatorial elections held the cen
ter of the stage in many of the New
England states. Former Governor
David I. Walsh, Detpocrat, is oppos
ing Senator Weeks, Republican, in
Massachusetts; Representatives G. F.
O'Shaunessy, Democrat, is lighting
for Le Baron B. Colt's seat in Rhode
Island; New Hampshire is concerned
in two contests between John B.
Jameson, Democrat, and George H
Moses, Republican, and Eugene E
Reed, Democrat, and Governor
Henry W. Keyes, Republican.
