C!.'L V iin.l Unndloa aw I sented a bill to repeal the section of ; the election law of 1897 providing for : the placing of candidates upon the of j ficial ballot by means of nominating j papers. The effect of this legislation j would be to eliminate the present pro- I vision, which enables independent can didates to run for State office upon the proper presentation of petitions signed j by one-half of one per cent, of the ; largest vote received bv amy candidate ! I for a State office at the last preceding 1 election. The effect of the bill would be to ! prevent the creation of all new parties : after the primaries. I Senator Vare presented a bill to pre j vent the expenditure of vast sums of money to nominate and elect or defeat candidates for judgeships, and to re | imburse aspirants for the State courts. , The measure was prepared by Attor , ney General Brown at the suggestion | of Governor Brumbaugh. The measure makes it unlawful "for any person or persons, committee or I organization of any kind whatsoever to contribute or expend any money or : other valuable thing for election ex penses, or to promote the nomination at any primary election, of any candi date for nomination for any judicial | office in this Commonwealth, or to de- I feat or prevent the nomination at any | primary election of any candidate for : nomination for any judicial office in I this Commonwealth." It is provided, \ . HARRISBTJKG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING. MARCH 17, 1915. however, that contributions may be made direct to any candidate for nomi nation for a judicial office. A biH introduced by Senator Tomp kins, of Cambria, is a general repealer of the act passed two years ago for the non-partisan' election of all judges and of officers of second class cities. The proposed repealer is to take effect on .Jamuary 1 next, so that it will uot 1 interfere with any of the non-]«rtisan elections this fall". Another bill, sponsored bv Senator •Smith, provides that if two or more candidates for the same office have the same or a similar surname, the County Commissioners may, upon the request of any of the candidates, print the occupation of the rivals upon the of ficial ballot. Another bill presented by Senator 'MoXichol seeks to change the fall reg istration dates in odd-numbered yeard so as to eliminate the present provision for qualifying in August. The changes call for the three registration days to fall on the ninth Thursday, oighth Tuesday and eighth Saturdav preced ing the municipal elections, thus plac ing all of these dates in September.

REO EXHIBIT SHOWS CARS DISPLAYED AT NEW YORK Company Largely Represented at An nual Show of Harrisburg Dealers' Association at Arena—Total of 137 Machines Delivered In 1014 j At the sixth annual automobile show . helrl by the Harrisburg Dealers' Asso | oiation at the Arena, the exhibit of the | Reo will be seen. A complete line of their products is being shown aind con : aists of a six cylinder touring car. a ; four cylinder touring car, a four cyl inder roadster, a four cylinder coupe 1 and a four cylinder 1914 touring ear aa well as a six cylinder chassis that 1 was shown at the New York show. A 1 complete line dt parts is also on ex hibition. The wonderful popularity of this line of automobiles has been very forcibly demonstrated by the quantity i of cars that the local representative, i the Harrisburg Automobile Company have been handling in the last year One hundred and fifty-seven cars were ) delivered in this territory during the - season of l'S 14 which was considered - a very good year's business. The 191'5 business is still more gratifying and up to the presemt time, George G. McFarlamd, of the Harris burg Automobile Company, has deliv ered to his customers 140 Reo cars with four car loads on the road for immediate delivery. A total of 212 orders have been taken for delivery up until the first part of April. In addition to this business they have stored 51 cars in 8. B. Ronvberg'er's storage warehouse on South Tenth street. These stored ears are all for delivery during the summer months for late buyers and were stored by this enterprising firm who knew very well that they would not be aible to get enough cars duriing the summer months to supply the demand for most popular car. The popularity of the car has grown in leaps and bounds. Reo owners find they can drive their cars over all kinds of roads the year around, ten thousand miles at an aver age cost of between two and three cents a mile for all expenses outside of washing aind storing, that the car is always ready to go. When it needs re pairing it is so constructed that a re pair bill is of a most moderate amount. The Harrisburg Automobile Company keeps on hand at all times a large | quantity of parts and are in position to supply Reo owners instantly what they want, even on cars that were made iin 1907 and 1908. They prac tically have a factory branch at their establishment, Third and Hamilton streeto. Nothing more can be wished for in an automobile than can be given in a Reo ear and service supplied by the local firm.—Adv.* Joint Recital at Chestnut Street The announcement made a few days ago that 'Maud Powell, the famous American violinist, and Evau Williams, the great Welsh ter.or, were to appeal in a point recital in the Chestnut street auditorium on Thursday evening, April 8, was received with more than mere enthusiasm. Among the musical artists in this country none are more popular nor es teemed more highly than Madam Pow e« and Mr. Williams, and it is seldom that trfie has s ich an opportunity of hearing twfo such great artists in one evening. Of a recent recital in a large west ern city a critic says of the wonderful playing powers of Maud Powell: "She certainly is the greatest woman play er." And it has been further said she plays as well as any man, even in con-1 sideration of that marvel, Kritz Kreis ler. Last month Mr. Williams gave a ia cital in Aeolian hall, New York City, and hundreds of people were turned away, and Mr. Henderson, the able mu sical writer on the New York "Sun," refers to him as one of the most esting singers to be heard in recital. It is through the local management of Alfred C. Kuschwa and C. L. Ench that the appearance of these artists has beeu made possible. Adv.* Photoplay To-day "The Hermit of Bird Island," spe i cial, three parts. The yourng Karl of 1 Betzwood is forced, because of an in jured arm, to give up racing his fa ' mous speed boat in the races of the next day. His finaneee, Viola Van Tas sell, an American girl, insists that some one else must take charge of the boat and win the cup. The Earl demurs, but is overruled, and Viola goes away by herself to think it over. By accident she wanders into the fishing village and there becomes interested in Dave Hallow, a young fisherman, who though he owns a high-power fishing boat, has greater aspirations and lonigs to be the possessor of a real racing craft. Viola leads him on and Dave, who has never before known a woman of the upper classes, becomes vnfaturated.—Adv.* Probably Fatally Injured In Runaway Salunga, March 17.—L. L. Itensel, 20 years old, was probalbly fatally in jured last evening when he waa dragged by a horse several hundred feet, while the animal was running away. He held onto the lines and when the horse finally stopped he turned around and trampled him. The young man was driving the horse without be ing hitched to a carriage with the lines.
