vlekers to Chairman Highland.


In another column OF today's Mall
we are producing the letter OF Mr..
Il. D. Vickers, one. OF the nominees
of the Huntington convention for
Eelector on the Republican ticket,
written in reply to a letter received
by him from Virgil l.. Highland,
chairman of the Republican state
committee, says the Charleston
Mail. When Mr.. Highland was re-
quested, by resolution. at the COM
mittee meeting held here fast week,
to ascertain, If possible, the views of
the electors regarding the head of
the ticket to be voted this fall, it
was apprehended that he would re-
ceive few replies like unto that of
Mr.. vickers. OF course, Mr.. Vick-
ers has a right to his opinion in
this instance. as in all instances, and
doubtless his reply to Chairman
IHighland brought to Mr.. Vickers
himself considerable satisfaction.
To the voter, however, both the
Taft and me would-be Roosevelt
voter, the reply of Mr.. Vickers will
scarcely bring any satisfaction.
Should all the electoral nominees
pursue the course that Mr.. Vickers
has pursued in his reply to Chair
man Highland, further confusion
must result. We take 1t that the
gentlemen whom the party has
ihopored with the electoral nomina-
lions desire to have a majority in
the November election, so that they
can aid in the election of Repub-
Ilican president OF the United States,
but II they refuse to state their posi-
itfons on a choice for president,
whether they are regular or will
fthfow the vote o. the state to third
party that isn't Republican, we give
1t as our opinion frankly that many
voters will be driven to the support
of the, Democratic candidate for the
presidency. We hear many tried
and true Republicans say this right
here in Charleston, They do not
go behind closed doors to say It,
either. However, and as this may
be. it is to be hoped that the party's
nominees for electors will finally
come out out and say where they
stand. The fact that they were
nominated by convention whose del
egates strongly favored Colonel
Roosevelt for the presidential! nomi-
nation does not necessarily follow
that they will desert the regularly
nominated Republican ticket when
It comes to casting the states vote
in the electoral college; but the peo-
ple-all people-wlll naturally want
to know how they stand. will insist
on knowing, and, failing to learn,
many will be tempted to retalIate
for the omission by voting directly
opposite to their natural inclination.
So far as Mr.. vickers is concerned,
we have no reason in the word to
doubt his regularity. We know

DAY NURSERY
PLAN DINNER.
Will Give Mothers of Tots a
Thanksgiving Feast

The Board of Managers of the Day
Nursery Association met yesterday
afternoon at the residence of Mrs. c.
H. Edwards, 1872 High street. On
November 81, the day before Thanks
giving, the women of the board are
to give a dinner for the mothers of

AT $50 p. m. when the tired mothers
return from their days labor, they
will find a bountiful dinner of tur-
key and the usual accessories await
ing them. The meal will be donated
and served by the members of the
board.
The attendance at the nursery for
the past month has been excellent,
eleven children being the average at
tendance. Each child pays five cents
a day, except in cases where there
are more than three from n family
when the charge per child is a little
less. Last month the amount paid by
the children was $3.50 This sum,
though small makes the nursery par
TALLY self-supporting and it
from the class OF purely charitable
institutions.
The nursery is open every day,
except Sunday, and visitors are al
ways welcome.

INSTRUCTS PUPILS ON
RULES FOR SAFETY

Telling the pupils Of the high
school and public school No. 1 that
the only way to prevent accidents
is to think about the danger incurred
in taking all n of ordinary
risks, and impressing upon them
their duty to parents and friends to
prevent all accidents possible, Fred
eric S. Hughes, director Of the Public
Safety Movement of the New Jersey
Safety League, Interestingly and in
simple expression this morning ex-
planned the work of the organization.
This afternoon he is lecturing at No.
7 school. Tomorrow morning he
will be at Nos. 2 and 5; in the after
noon at No. a.. Thursday morning he
will reach Nos. 6 and 8; in the after
moor the grammar school. The paro-
chial schools will be visited later.
Practically all the schools In New
Jersey are being covered by Mr..
Hughes; more than half OF which he
has already visited. After finishing
here he will lecture at the schools at
Elizabeth and Passaic.
The high school was presented
with a brilliant streamer banner in
red, white and blue, each streamer
bearing one of the letters Safety"
The other schools were given PEN
nants bearing the word Safety"
Each child of each school, visited
by Mr.. Hughes, will be furnished
free a little pin in blue and white
bearing the word Safety" the OBJ
ject being for the child In time of

all his efforts at that precarious mo-
ment to prevent an accident.

STOLEN PENNANT WILL
SOON Be IN PLACE

The Red and Black pennant of the
Sophomore class which has been the
sourc of many FRANKS and much
tom-foolery among high school stu
dents will soon be hung up in it's
former pjlace-the place from which
it was p~layfully stolen by certain
members of the '13 class recently.
John Tyroler, president of the
Senior class in a brief speech before
the members of his class and the
Sophomore class today returned the
pennant to it's rightful wner amid
shouts Of applause from both classes.
James Q~uackenbush representing the
"Sophs" received the pennant.
Mr.. Tyroler said the Senior class
always wanted to remain loyal to the
Sophomores and he further stated
that il ever the Junior class or the
Freshmen class should attempt to
steal the 1915 pennant, the Sophie
mores could reasonably expected the
sympathy of the Seniors.
1t will be remembered that this
was the pennant that figured in the
memorable incident on Halloween
night when the "Sophs" took revenge
by OBTAINING the Senior class presi-
dent from reaching the party on
time,

BOEHM BEAT WARlNC

1t was announced as a certainty to-
day that Daniel w. Boehm had been
elected excise commissioner over
Tracy D. Warning, who is also a Civic
Union member and that all that is
needed as positive proof, is to open
the ballot box Of the third district OF
the fourth ward. Election officers OF
that poll declare generally that MI.
Warnings vote In that district was
100, whereas 1t is given 1853 on the
official returns to the city clerk.

that, as a simple way of proving the
election, the election officers of the
district in question assemble and ask
the court for permission to open
their own box.
