MUNICIPAL AND
COUNTY OFFICES
[Continued from First Page.]
class cities and eleven of the third
class cities will elect mayors in
19 21. Every municipality will elect
some officers and numerous magis
trates, aldermen and justices of the
peace, together with ward and pre
cint officers will be chosen. Next
year, State, Congressional and Leg
islative elections take place.
A number of contests have de
veloped for the eighteen common
pleas places to be filled on Tuesdaj,
notably in Lehigh where an addi
tional judge is heing elected for the
first time, and Lackawanna. In
other counties the primary elections
4 virtually ended contests although
the question of computing the vote
of a "sole nominee" was taken to
court in the Allegheny election
where five judges are to be elected.
Of the five elections for orphans'
court the Cambria and Washington
contests are the most interesting.
Both are being held for the first
time. There will be elections to the
county court in Allegheny and
municipal court in Philadelphia, but
they are devoid of contests. The
associate judge contests will be in
teresting in Huntingdon. Mifflin,
Monroe, Fulton and Columbia.
Huntingdon is the only county to
elect two such judges.
The Philadelphia mayoralty con
test has attracted almost National
attention. Among: the third class
city mayoralty battles those of in
terest are at Reading, where there
is a Socialist candidate; Johnstown,
where an independent is in the
field; Harrisburg, where a Labor-
Socialist ticket for mayor was put
up: Altoona, Chester, Williamsport,
York, Uniontown. Allentown, Erie,
Lebanon, Lancaster, Wilkes-Rarre
and New Castle.
In other cities the contests are
not so sharp although the return of
the third class cities to the partisan
system of election of mayors and
councilmen which occurs under the
terms of the act of 1919, has caused
a revival of party interest and the
councilmanic seats are much sought.
Dozens of municipalities, cities
and boroughs, school districts, and
townships will hold loan elections.
In Harrisburg there has been a
large loan placed before the people,
including a transfer of $300,000
previously authorized for a bridge,
now proposed to be devoted to the
city's share in the State Memorial
bridge. This is the first election
held under the act of 1919 author
izing voters of third class cities to
vote on transfer of loans. Johns
town and Sunbury also have large
school loan propositions to be dis
posed of and Sunbury and several
other boroughs are to vote on the
question whether to adopt the
commission form of government.
The loan elections involve mil
lions of dollars, a considerable part
being for new schools construction
of which was deferred during the
war.
Question of U. S. Mediation
in South American
Boundary Dispute Revived
By Associated Press.
Snntingo, Chile, Friday, Oct. 31.
The question of American mediation
in the long-standing boundary dispute
between Chile and Peru, involving the
provinces of Tacna and Aca has been
revived by reports from the United
States through Buenos Aires that the
Washington Government had offered
such mediation which Peru was will
ing to accept, but which Chile de
clined and a denial sent by ythe cor
respondent here of the Buenos Aires
Nacion that any such offer had been
made to Chile.
It appears, however, according to
the local correspondent of the Nacion
that President Leguia of Peru is anx
ious for American mediation, the cor
respondent declaring he had obtained
a state-men to that effect from the
Peruvian executive.

Reading Railway Yard Man
Makes Timely Discovery
One Philadelphia and Reading
Railway employe was highly com
mended yesterday for timely pre
vention. The Reading Eagle says:
"Harold DeVoe, employed in the
Reading yard, performed an act in
the line of safety first, deserving of
mention and was strongly commend
ed. A freight train was pulling
through the East Penn shedding
when Mr. DeVoe discovered that
the brake rigging of a freight car
had dropped.
"The train was moving rather
lively, as it was just ahead of the
time passenger trains were due.
There was no time to lose and De-
Voe leaped on the side of the car,
crossed to the opposite side and
signaled the engineer. The train
came to a sudden stop and a prob
able wreck was averted. Had the
car been derailed it would have
ripped up the platform and en
dangered the lives of passengers who
had collected there awaiting the
arrival of the accommodation train
from Allentown. It wis a narrow es
cape. It required about fifteen min
utes for the car inspectors to re
move the brake rigging."

HABMBBURG TELE6RXFH
HOVERTER'S STAND
INSURES ELECTION
[Continued from First Page.]
Tory for the Republican party in
both city and county. A landslide is
predicted by every Republican who
is conversant with the situation.
Even the indirect attack being made
upon Harry F. Oves, for city treas
urer, is falling short.
"The only thing they can say
against Mr. Oves," said a Republican
leader this morning, "is that he has
been a life-long Republican and for
many years a wheelhorse in the lo
cal Republican organization, and if
that is a crime there are many crim
inals in Harrisburg."
Oves is a native of Harrisburg and
has aeen in business here since his
early manhood. He is the father of
a family and is held in high esteem
by those who know him. He is fa
miliar with his duties as city treas
urer, -having held that office for a
short term.
City Ticket Safe
The whole Republican city ticket
is regarded as safe. Councilmen E.
Z. Gross, Charles W. Burtnett, Wil
liam H. Lynch and Dr. S. F. Hassler
all express confidence in their can
didacies and the two who will be
elected for four-year terms, whoever
they may be, will not have very big
margins to their credit, but all will
have a btg vote.
The county candidates practically
have completed their campaign.
Their fight is won. They will be
busy until the polls close, but they
are interested now only in majori
ties.
"Get out the vote" is the slogan
of the leaders to the workers and
with that they are permitting the
cajxipaign to take its course.

FOR MEMBERS
Important Mooting of Veter
ans to Be Held in Court
house on Monday
Post 27, American Legion, will
hold an important meeting at the
Courthouse Monday evening at 7.30
o'clock, which every member has
been urged to attend. The enter
tainment committee will have some
interesting announcements to make
and the committee on permament
quarters will make its report.
Instructions to the local delegate
to the Minneapolis convention on
November 11 will be given, and ir?
this connection any member who
wishes may introduce written reso
lutions on the floor relative to any
subject of interest to ex-service men.
Plans of the membership com
mittee, headed by William R. Lutz,
for an intensive three-day campaign
will be outlined and the local post's
first real membership drive will be
inaugurated. Part of the work of
the committee will be to combat
propaganda hostile to the American
Legion, which already has in its na
tional enrollment over a mililon men
who were in the service, or one out
of every five who donned the uni
form in the recent war. The com
mittee to-day desired to go on rec
ord as stating that the American
Legion is not opposed to a bonus for
ex-sorvice men, as has been intimat
ed; but that it favors a constructive
bonus. The matter will be threshed
out at the national convention, it is
said.
A preliminary meeting of officers
of the post and heads of commit
tees will be held at 7 o'clock at the
Courthouse.
Better Speech Week to
Be Featured by a Big
Entertainment Next Week
A free entertainment in Technical
High School auditorium next Friday
evening will be a feature among the
unusual Better Speech Week pro
grams that will be given in the city.
The English departments of the
four high schools have co-operatively
planned the program which in the
selections to be used will be a unique
contribution to the city's record of
entertainments
Although duellin gis forbidden by
law, a fierce encounter will take place
between Lord Good English and Lord
Bad English, for the hand of the
Princess Schoolgirl, daughter of King
Success and Queen Refinement. Stu
dents of Miss Annubel Swartz's class,
of the Central High School, will par
ticipate in this quaint drama, called
"The Princess' Choice."
From the Edison Junior High
School will come an interesting group
but the name shall be kept secret
until the players make them known
to the audience in game and song,
as taught by Miss Ella Ryan, an as
sistant music supervisor, and Miss
Annie Laurie, chairman of Edison's
committee on Better Speech Week
observances.
As interludes between the play
numbers, students from Camp Curtin
will entertain their listeners with
stories of knights and minstrelsy.
The audience will contribute to the
program through participation in
Better Speech songs, under the lead
ership of William Harclerode. super
visor of music in the schools of the
city.
At a meeting of teachers appoint
ed by their respective principals to
serve on a committee representing
the four high schools, with the pur
pose of arranging the program de
scribed, Mr. Strawinski, of Technical
High School, and Miss Mary Orth, of
Central High School, led in an en
thusiastic discussion concerning a
plan for forming an organization of
all the teachers of English in the
city.
This idea has been in the minds of
a group of high school teachers of
English for some time.
WORKERS OF ALL
PARTIES TO HELP

rnents. Many important sections of
city streets, now in constant use,
are not paved because the city has
exhausted the fund for paving inter
sections and in front of schoolhouses
and churches. By passing this loan
residents of the city will make it
possible to improve these streets.
Public Bathing Places
The $4 0,000 loan for bathing
beaches and bathhouses will provide
recreation facilities for at least b.OOO
people a day according to Warren
H. Manning, the city's park expert,
who recently spent two days in Har
risburg studying conditions along the
river.
This money can be used to provide
bathing beaches on the Island, to
gether with large bathhouses and
other necessary conveniences and
will give thousands of Harrisburgers
an opportunity to enjoy swimming
and bathing in the river, who could
not go to summer resorts along the
Atlantic Coast.
At present during the summer
many persons bathe in the river
but they have no accommodations
with the exception of the small bath
house at Seneca street. During the
last few years tile river is being
used more and more, and last sum
mer during the hottest weather
thousands of persons were bathing
and swimming and hundreds of boats
and canoes were on the water every
fair day.
Trunk-Line Sewers
Another important loan of SIOO,-
000 is necessary at this time of
ficials said. It will provide a fund
for the extension of long trunk-line
sewers and the replacing of old
sewers with new ones. Both sani
tary and storm water sewers, several
miles in length, can be built with
the SIOO,OOO-fund after the bond
issue is authorized next Tuesday.
While the approval of the transfer
of the $300,000-bridge loan as the
city's share of the new bridge at State
street, is practically assured, poli
tical workers of both parties are
making every effort to have the loan
favored by an overwhelming ma
jority, as an evidence to other com
munities in Pennsylvania that Har
risburg is heartily in accord with the
big development program being
planned by Ihe State.
Harrisburg is asked to give the
$300,000, formerly appropriated for
a bridge at Walnut street, as its
share of the new bridge at State
street, which will serve as a soldiers'
and sailors' memorial. This bridge
will cost the State $3,393,000 to con
struct, more than ten times the
amount the city has promised to give,
thus indicating how much the State
will be doing for Harrisburg.
"Vote for the loans," will be the
urgent plea of every worker at the
polls on Tuesday, and by voting for
the loans every Harrisburger will
have a part in continuing the big
strides in municipal improvement
which made so splendid a record for
the city in the past, and will make
it a greater municipality in the
suture.

nation. In the war, now happily
at an- end, the Red Cross was to
be found marching shoulder to
shoulder with our triumphant
Army, and in every way aiding
nnd encouraging the soldiers in
their tight for humanity.
"A new chapter remains to be
written, a chapter less dramatic,
perhaps, because made in a time
of peace, but none the less glor
ious in its spirit and in- its object.
That chapter will have to do with
America at home.
"Here, at home, the Red Cross
has pledged its thought, its in
fluence and its support to ad
vance tho interest of our own
people, who, by reason of circum
stance, need just the help which
only such an organization as the
Red Cross con bring. The Rod
Cross is about to begin a work
that has for its object the wel
fare of all within tho limits of our
great country.
"In order to do this work well,
the Red Cross counts upon the
encouragement and support of ev
ery American citizen. It is my
earnest hope, therefore, that ail
will join this magnificent organi
zation."
