ELECTION LAWS CHANGED
IF THESE MEASURES PASS
Bills Having the Backing of the Re
publican State Organization Intro
duced in the Senate—One of Them
Designed to Prevent Fusion
Tlie Senate, after receiving a num- !
ber of important bills bearing on elec- |
tion laws, last night adjourned to meet
on Monday evening next at 9.30 j
o'clock. The proposed new election j
laws and election law repealers, if they 1
become operative, will work a great
change in the system in Pennsylvania, j
They were all prepared by the attorney
for the Republican - state organization, !
and arc intended to work for the bene
fit of that organization.
Among the chief changes proposed is
one which in the future will, if ap- j
proved prevent any candidate nominat
ed for office withdrawing from a party 1
tiiaket. This bill, which was introduced |
by Senator Patton, is intended to pre- j
vent a repetition of action like that)
of William Draper Lewis last fall in |
resigning from a ticket, after he had j
been named at a primary.

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.
