CAMPAIGN OPENS
IN PENNSYLVANIA
PRIMARY ELECTION
First Day For Circulation Of Nom
nation Petitions Marked by
Much Activity

To-day was the first day upon which
signatures could be obtained to nomi-
mating petitions for the State, con-
gressional and legislative nominations
to be made at the primary election
on May 49, and the circulation of
scores of papers which have been sent
out from the State Capitol and the
various party headquarters began in
many parts of Pennsylvania. The fl
Ing of nominating petitions is now
legal at the Department of the Secre-
tary of the Commonwealth, where all
nominating petitions must be entered
this year, there being no county or mu
nicipal officers to be elected. The pc
titionS must all be on record by April
21. This is the frs thine the State has
operated under the new primary act
for selection of candidates for United
States Senator and State offices by d.
rect vote.
The dates fixed for assessors to sit
at polling places, outside of cities, for
enrolment of voters not yet enrolled,
are March II and IS. This enrolment
s under the party enrolment act of
1913. under which many voters listed
their names as members of parties
last summer and Fall. Enrolment is
necessary to vote at primary.
All of the State committees will be
elected this year at the Spring pri-
mary, provision to that effect having
been made in the act of 1918. The
State committees will meet shortly
after the primaries for organization
and adoption of campaign plans.
Circulation of the nominating pe-
titions of Henry Houck, Secretary of
Internal Affairs, who is candidate for
Republican denomination, began in
every county of the State to-day, peti-
tions having been forwarded to many
people who had written to the Sec
rotary asking that they might help in
inaugurating his campaign for an
other term.

A GIFT OF HANDLES SCORES.

One ioyful event frightened the sol
itary and gloomy sick chamber in the
middle OF December. From Stunipn, OF
London. Beethoven received forty vol
umes of DR.. Arnold's edition Of Han
del's works, which the donor nad re.
solved to send TO Beethoven on Visit
paid to him in 1924. Gernard Won
Breuning pictures the joy OF Beethoven
on receiving the gift, when ne oe
the KIM of Prussia. One day the boy
was asked to hand the big books from
the pianoforte on which they were
piled TO the bed. 81 have long wanted
tbem - said the composer to his faith
full little friend, "for Handel IS ire
greatest, the ablest composer that ever
lived. / can still learn from HIM. ne
leaned the books against the "ail;
turned over the pages and ever and
anon paused to break out into new ex-
pressions of praise. Won Breuning
places these incidents in the middle of
February. 1927, but his memory was
Mainly at fault. SCHNEIDER says the
books arrived in December, and ne IS
right, for Stunpff preserved the re-
ceipt for them, letter and Reicnardts
"Taschenbush fur Reisende," dated De-
cember IA. 1926. The gift was sent
through the son Of Stumpff's friend,
Streicher.
MILITARY CAREER FOR KARL.
Stephen Won Breuning had called on
Beethoven shortly after his arriVa':
and the work of making soldier OF
Karl was begun at once. IL was ex-
pected that the preparations would oe
cupy only few days, but they dragged
themselves through the month OF De-
cember. owing partly, no doubt, TO an
illness which befeil the councillor.
There were formal calls to be made
upon the lieutenant, field marshal and
other officers, physical examination
to be undergone (it was most perfume
tory), uniforms TO be provided, the
oath of service to be taken and inc
monthly allowance to be liked. All
this was disposed Of by the date OF
the first tapping, and 1t was expected
that Karl would set out 10 Join ms
regiment at Iglau before the Christ
mas holidays. There is no evidence
of a change in the attitude OF uncle
and nephew toward each other. Some
of Karl's entreaties in the Conversation
Books betray a testiness which IS In
marked contrast to Beethoven's obvi-
Gus solicitude for the young mans po-
sition and comfort in the regiment,
but the entries also indicate that ILL
ness has not sweetened the disposition
of the sufferer. His outbursts of rage
are the subject Of warnings from
physicians and friends. We have
Schindler's word for it that Beethoven
became cheerful after the grsceless
youths departure for Iglau on Janu-
airy 2, 1927, and the testimony OF the
Conversation Books that the old year
closed upon a quarrel between the two

The HOUSt. IN BONN N WICK
BEETHOVEN WAS BORN

that the great composer was fond of
wine, and his physicians had difficulty
in enforcing abstinence upon him
when under their treatment; but the
only one who by indirection accused
Beethoven Of drinking to excess was
SCHNEIDER, whose statements on that
point are not free from the suspicion
that they were made only for the pur-
pose of hitting Holz over Wawruch's
shoulders. Holz told Otto jain: HE
ate stoutly and substantially; drank
a great deal of wine at table, but could
stand a great deal, and occasionally
he got tipsy in merry company. In
the evening he drank beer or wine. for
the greater part Voslauer or red Hun
garian wine. He did not compose af-
ter he had drunk. After meals he
took a walk" DR.. Bertolini, an init
mate friend Of the composer, said to
jain: Beethoven liked to drink
glass of wine, but he was never
drinker or gourmand.' Wawruch's
report continues:
But on the eighth day | was
alarmed not a little. At the morn
ing visit | found him greatly dis
turbed and jaundiced all over his
body. A freightful choleraic at
tacl, (BrechdWchfdlD had threat
ened his life in the preceding
night. A violent rage, a great
grief because of ingratitude and
undeserved humiliation was the
cause of this mighty explosion.
Trembling and shivering he bent
double because of the pains which
ragged in his liver and intestines,
and his feet, hitherto moderate y
inflated, became tremendously swol-
len. From this time on dropsy
developed, the segregation of urine
became less, the liver showed
plain indications Of hard nodules,
there was an increase of jaundice.
