1'llK C1TIZKN, Kill DAY, bUin. 0, 1010. GRIM AND BERRY IN BITTER CLASH Republicans Serenely Watch Democratic Row. KEYSTONER IS IN A BAD WAY Editors Who Once Supported Former State Treasurer Now Denounce Him and Call Upon Party Men to Stand by Nominees of Allentown Convention. Special Correspondence Philadelphia. Sept. G. A sharp drawing of the lines in the factional flght in the Democratic party nnd a display of bitterness between the lenders of the Grim and Berry forces have served to accentuate the one-sided character of the guberna torial campaign in Pennsylvania. In tho dosporato struggle between the Grim adherents and tho Berry warriors, Republicans are not playing favorites, but aro complacently look ing on ond speculating as to which wing of the Democracy will land in socond place on election day. If tho Republican leaders had plan nod the situation, they could not have brought about a happier condition for their candidates. Following tho rcmarlsablo demon stration given In his honor by his neighbors In the Monongahela valley, at the inauguration of his campaign at Charlerol, John Klnley Tenor, the Re publican standard bearer, will con tinue on his tour of the state, meeting tho voters face to face, freely and manfully discussing the Issues and conceding to his opponents tho right to their views and absolutely refrain ing from personal attacks or abuse of any kind or character. Contrasted with this sane and dig nified policy is the spectacle of the di vided Democracy, with candidates and leaders arrayed against each other in a spectacular and scandalous warfare. Grim-Berry Combat. What the Grim men say about Berry and what the Berry men say aboift Grim is frequently unfit for publication Tho chargo that Grlm's nomination was brought nbout by tho liquor Inter ests is mot with tho allegation that Berry, although upon rocord as a Pro hibitionist and again as a local op tlonlst, conferred with representatives of the liquor Interests, and as a result of pledges mado at Allentown rocctved tho support In that convention of a number of delegates cngagod In tho saloon business. Berry men nccuso Grim of having advance knowledge of tho withdrawal of Munson, of holng In a conspiracy to secretly capture tho Democratic con vention. The Grim cohorts retort with declarations that Berry was In a conv blnation with Grim to down Munson, that he at first accopted tho voto at Allentown nnd pledged his support to Grim, and then violated this promise and (lollboratoly lied when ho said ho had never given such n pledge. Grim Is accused of working hand In hand with Republicans. Berry Is de nounced nsiin Ingrato for having bor rowed money from Guffey and then deserting the Guffey machine that made posslblo his election'as treas urer. These nro but samples of tho charges and counter charges that aro holng exchanged in tho hot fire going on within the Democratic lines, tho Keystone Party being generally ac cepted as nn offshoot from tho state Democracy. Up to dnte Grim has n big lead ovor Berry in tho way of substantial sup port , Democratic Editors For Grim. The vetcrnn editor, P. Gray Meek, of the Democratic Bellefonto Watch man, has made a canvass and figures out that In" the entire state there aro about a dozen newspapers giving Berry any support, and of these only seven can clnlm any Democratic con stituency, and tho others are of a mongrel class that would naturally take up a cause such as the Berry can didacy roprespnts. Meek Insists that Berry should with draw. With the name of Grim nailed to his editorial masthead, Editor Joseph G. Leaner, of the Huntingdon Monitor, has this gentle knock at tho Keystono candidate: "Over his own signature William H. Berry gave out to the press a ridi culous tirade against Senator Grim, in which he said: 'He sat In the senate when they burned one capltol down over his head and stole seven millions of dollars In building another.' As Senator Grim was not elected to the legislature until six years after the burning of the capltol in 1S07, Mr. Berry's statement is important onlv as proof of the recklessness .and un truthfulness of the assertions ho Is making nbout Senator Grim." Editor Meyers of the Democratic Star-Independent of Harrlaburg, takes tho Grim end of tho controversy, nnd among other things said In a rocent Issue: "It Is a flty that Mr. Berry, tho Keystone Party's candidate for tho of flco of governor of Pennsylvania, can not see himself as others see him nnd cannot understand how ridiculous his attacks on the Democratic party sound In the ears of any sensiblo mnn In hla audience. "In almost ovory sentences of his speeches he tolls those who'wlll listen to him thnt he Is the candidate of the Keystone Party only bocnuso ho could not bo tho candldato of tho Demo cratic party. He has glvon no other reason for his posing as a reformer, for there Is none; ho cannot muster enough of his particular' brand of as surance to pretend that there Is nny other reason. He poses as a hitter enemy of the 'liquor interests,' hut he would have swallowed his convenient enmity and remained blind to what he callB the alliance between Penroso and the Democratic leaders If only the Al lentown convention had given him that nomination. "His story of the nomination Is ab surd from beginning to end. Becauso the party that honored him for five years has chosen nnother mnn for tho head of its ticket, he Is slandering and villlfying It and trying to defeat It while still pretending to bo a Democrat." Tho Philadelphia Record, which was one of Berry's principal supporters when ho ran for state treasurer. Is now for Grim. In a review of the situation In its issue of Monday last the Phila delphia Record said: "Tho delay In the appointment of the state finance committee of the Keystono Party is said to be owing to difficulty in getting a sufficiency of tho 'right kind of men' to underwrite the conduct of the campaign. In this city the dissensions in the independent ranks have evidently alienated from their camp a very largo element of old-line refermers w-ho Include tho per sons that were tho mainstay of tho campaign funds in former battles hore against the political contractors or ganization. The effect of this state of affairs upon tho 'country' is said to bo anything but conducive to such financial assistance as the Berry tick et managers hoped to receive for their cause." t Released Convict Returns to Slay Witness at Trial. ITALIAN HAD SWORN VENGEANCE After Waiting Five Years, During Which Period He Was a Model Prisoner, Scarpia Seeks Cren netto and Slays Him. Jersey Soldiers Winners. Sea Girt, N J., Sept. (J. Company C, Fourth regiment of Jersey City, X. J., won tho company tyro match by ton nnlnfu Brooklyn, Sept. 0. After gritn'y wait ing Ave years, old Dotnenico Scarpia has wiped out his blood feud. He ptt Sing Sing Saturday at noon after spending five years there nnd walked into n group of men in Sixty-first street, Bay Ridge, yesterday, shoved several of them gently aside and shot Felipo Crennetto through tho heart. Six years ago Dotnenico Scarpia was n cobbler In P.ny Ridge. Ho was a quiet man, a strong man, squat of fig ure, with bushy gray eyebrowH, who spoke little of his own affairs nnd was never active in the gatherings of his countrymen. One day ho stabbed a woman, Natalia Minn. Shu was much younger than Dotnenico Scnrpln nnd little was known of her In tho neigh borhood. Tho police learned really nothing nbout tho case. Scarpia would not tell anything, not even to the lawyer who wns nsslgned by tho court to defend him, nnd the story of Jealousy or re venge, or whatever It was, that reach ed Its climax when tho old man's knife pierced the breast of the girl was not told nt the trial. But there was evidence enough to convict Domenico Scarpia. It came from Felipo Creniietto. The girl had disappeared nnd did not testify against tho mnn who tried to kill her and Scarpia would probably have escaped conviction had It not been for Felipo Crennetto. On his testimony the old cobbler wns sentenced to Sing Sing for flvc years. Before he left for the prison he told Crennetto he would return nnd kill him told him so In open court, and Crennetto laughed at him. VETERANS' ANNUAL REUNION.
