NEW ELECTION
BILL REVIEWED
Will Facilitate Elections and
Simplify Many Mat
i ters Soon
What is expected to make it eas
ier for Pennsylvania electors to vote
for candidates on the nonpartisan
ballot in primary elections, was pre
sented by Senator William E. Crow
yesterday. The bill was drawn in
the office of the Secretary of the
Commonwealth. It is quite likely
to be passed by the Legislature,
say observers.
Under the present law two ballots
are prepared for the primary elec
tion. One contains the names of all
persons to be voted for on partisan
tickets and the other gives the
names of the nonpartisan "candi
dates for second-class city officials
and for the judiciary. Thousands
of electors vote the partisan ballot
and throw the other away and in
many cases the election officers neg
lect to hand out both ballots.
The Crow bill provides that both
the partisan and nonpartisan can

THURSDAY EVENING, HAJRMSBURG llM&' TELBGRXPIE APRIL 10,1919.
didates' names would appear on one
ballot, which would be handed to
every elector entitled to vote a par
tisan ticket. The voter who is not
enrolled under any party would re
ceive a separate nonpartisan ballot.
The bill is weak in th.V it does not
provide against some citation boards
possibly handing out a combined
partisan and nonpartisan ballot and
a separate nonpartisan ticket, mak
ing it easy to stuff the ballot box.
Other amendments in the bill to
the present nonpartisan law are
applicable only to the judiciary. It
is proposed to clarify the provision
relative to a candidate in the pri
maries becoming the sole nominee
at the November election. The
amendment on this subject reads:
"One-half of the total number of
votes cast for such office at such
primary shall ascertained by taking
the total number of votes cast for
all candidates for such office and
dividing such total votes of all such
candidates by the number of per
sons each voter is entitled to vote
for at such primary for such office
and this quotient shall bo divided
by two, and any candidate who re
ceives a greater number of votes
than the result obtained by the
above method of ascertainment shall
have met the requirement herein
before provided."
The working of this plan could be
taken by illustrating the situation in
Allegheny county, where five Com
mon Pleas Court judges are to be
I sired by women of all ages. It's really
a simple matter for any woman to
merit this praise since radiant hair
is only a matter of care.-
When your hair becomes faded,
dry, streaked and seraggly, when it
falls out badly and new hair cannot
grow, the roots must be vitalized and
properly nourished. To do this quick
ly, safely and at little expense, there
is nolhing so effective as Parisian
sage (liquid form) which you can get
at Kennedy's Drug Store and all good
drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff
—stop scalp itch and falling hair, und
promote a new growth or money re
funded. It's in great demand by
women of taste and culture, because
it makes the hair so soft, lustrous,
easy to arrange attractively and ap
[ pear much heavier than it really is.
A massage with Parisian sage is a
. real delight—easy to use, not sticky
or greasy, and delicately perfumed—
an antiseptic liquid free from dan
! gerous ingredients, and guaranteed
not to color the hair or scalp. If
you want good looking hair and plen
!ty of it use Parisian sage. Don't de
j lay—begin tonight—a little attention
1 now insures beautiful hair for years
I to come.—Adv.
elected this fall. Each elector would
vote for tive candidates. Presuming
that 10 candidates in the field would
poll an aggregate of 400,000 votes,
each candidate receiving 40,000 or
more votes would be unopposed at
the November election.
Tlio bill provides that in a case
where a greater number of judicial
candidates than there are vacancies
to be filled recetve more than one
half of the total vote cast, then the
candidates equal to the number of
vacancies to be filled, who receive
the highest number of votes, would
be the sole nominees.
I At the primary the present sys
! tern of having the names of judicial
j candidates appear on the ballot al
■ pliabetically will be continued, but at
| the November election the names
, are to bo arranged in accordance
| with the numer of votes each re
ceeived. The candidate with the
! highest vote would head the list,
j Where there are ties between two
| candidates, their position would bo
j decided alphabetically.
It is understood the legislative
leaders have decided to pass the
P.inn bill which permits any person
entitled to vote at a general election
to absent himself from his employ
ment for two hours on the day of a
j general election for the purpose of
j voting without the loss of salary. If
j the employer does not designate the
| hours, the employe can make his
I own selection of two consecuti\ c
j hours while the polls are open. All
j employes of municipalities are in
cltided under the terms of the bill.
The penalty for violating the P r °"
posed law is a penalty of $5O. The
bill has passed the House. (
As the bill specifies "general"
elections, the proposed law could
not apply to any but elections held
in even-numbered years, when State
i and national candidates are elected.
The Constitution terms the elections
of odd-numbered years as "munici
pal." So far it has not been figured
out how railroad men absent on their
"runs" can be given two hours to
vote.
Unique Program at
Grace M. E. Church
The Grace Church Alliance was
recently organized for the purpose
of developing the social, educational
and spiritual life of the young peo
| pie of Grace Church, and in order
| to secure effective co-operation of
i all the organizations engaged in
young people's activities.
Instead of having its monthly so
cial meeting, elaborate preparations
are being made for the "W hat s
Up'.'" entertainment to be given this
evening in the Sunday School room
of the church. This program is
most unique and varied. There will
be stunts by the little folks—from
the Primary and Kindergarten De
partments —and by those not so
i young: there will lie good music, vo
| eal and instrumental, and music that
j is otherwise: there will be an orches
tra, and a "would-be" orchestra.
PERSHING MAKES
ADDRESS AT "Y"
Talks to Soldiers While on a
Recent Tour Through
Paris
Paris, April 10.—General Pershing,
in a recent tour of Y. M. C. A. hos
telries in Paris, stopped to address
several hundred men he found in
the lobby of the Hotel du Pavilion,
much to the delight of the soldier's
themselves, who declared afterwards
that he had talked to them like a
friend instead of a commanding of
ficer.
"I may not have the opportunity
of meeting you boys again," he said
to them. "I may not have the op
portunity to meet your comrades
in your units as you return to them,
but I want you to carry back with
you these messages. I appreciate
the way you have fought. You have
befen true soldiers and brave men,
and, as an army officer, I want you
to know that my hope is that you
will return to America as clean,
morally and physically, as you came
to France. The Y. M. C. A. and other
organizations are making that pos
sible by equipping places like this
in which you now are. I know that
you appreciate thc Y. M. C. A. or
this room would not be so crowded
at -f.30 In the afternoon. I want you
to know that as commanding officer
of the American forces, I appreciate
the work that is being done by the
Y. M. C. A., and I hope that when
you return to your units you will
carry back with you the message
of that common appreciation—mine
and your own."
Although Paris is a "three-day
leave area" into which four hun
: dix-d officers and eight hundred en
listed men come daily, it is still con
sideted somewhat of an experiment,
and General Pershing has shown a
great deal of interest in seeing what
accommodations and amusements
were available for the soldier. Paris,
one must remember, is not only the
gayest cify on earth, again, but it is
the most expensive city right now,
and but for thc Y. M. C. A. and other
agencies, the average soldier could
not spend the night within her gates.
