finally resorted to, to wit: the employ
ment of vast sums of money at the
close of the canvass and on election
day. AS is well known, Mr.. Wanamaker
is multi-millionaire. he being worth,
so it is understood. about $15,000,0 600. He
Is free spendcr, as was demonstrated
in his campaign for the United States
senate two years ago, and his agents
are not too particular as to methods
OF expenditure, as will appear by rep
erence to the court records of Schuyl-
kill county, in the famous Van Valken-
burg case.
1t was toward the close of the cam
paign that the Wanamaker barrel was
tapped. and it's contents distributed
throughout the state, "where they
would do the most good"
Finally came the Sth of November, a
day long to be remembered. The day
of the scandal monger, the political Ii
beler, the public falsifier,- was over!
The day of the plain. everyday voter
was at hand! Every form of misrep-
resentation and deception, written,
printed and spoken, had been indulged
in for months. but the case was now
before the most majestic jury upon
earth-the voters themselves face to
face with the ballot box.
The verdict of that jury is known TO
all men. By vote of almost half
million freemen-473, 06S. to be exact
being 1926 more than the vote given
his nearest competitor. Mr.. Jenks--
Colonel William A. Stone has been
chosen chief magistrate of the old Key
stone state AS the result of this ver-
dict. moreover. Legislature has been
elected in which the Republican ma
jority is overwhelming-almo two to
one. indeed.
And thus have the sovereign people
spoken: and. in speaking. they have
repudiated John Wanamaker Silas c.
Swallow and the whole coterie of dem
agogues, who, for weeks. have Travelled
up and down the state. maligning their
fellow citizens and seeking to over
throw Republicanism in the citadel
of its strength. The campaign of ven
geance has come 10 nauGht. The Re-
publican party of Pennsylvania emerges
from the contest stronger than ever.
And Governor Stone and the incoming
legislature viii demonstrate to the peo-
pie of the state that the affairs of gov
ernment an legislation are safe in Re
publican hands.

the Jumps that rose in his throat last
Friday afternoon. Max has one of the
best mothers and when she saw her
boy. his rifle on his shoulder and clad

away to the war, her heart was filled
with the deepest and keenest sorrow.
1t would not be true to say that Max
does not love that patient and faithful
mother. for he does. But Max wants
to be a warrior, and although it re-
quired hard fight he turned his back
on the old home to follow Captain
Hope. But there was disappointment
in store for him. for soon after reach
ing Richmond he learned that his
mother had notified Adjutant General
