CALLS cAPPER's HAND.
capper Makes Statements He Cannot
Prove-Won't Debate Matter.

Rev. H. ]. Corwime, chaplain and
parole officer of the Topeka Boys In
dustrial School, last Saturday issued
a challenge to Arthur Capper, Repub-
lican candidate for governor, 70 a ser.
les of joint debates on the merits of
the only plank in the Capper plat
form so far announoed-the Demo
cratic spoils system. If Mr.. Capper
will accept the challenge, Rev. Cor
wine declars, he will at once resign
his position as a state employee and
will meet the Topeka publisher in as
many debates as Mr.. Capper will ac-
|cept.
The Democratic spoils system was
the one proposition on which Mr..
Capper did not dodge. He DECLARED
the system to be unjust and vicious
and demanded that strict civil ser
vice rules be written. The Capper
publications have repeatedly charged
that efficient appointees have been
discharged for political reasons and
the public was led to believe that
there was a general house cleaning
in the state house and all state de
partments.
OF the 43 employees at the Boys IN
dustrial School, only six are Demo-
Gratis, Rev. Corwine declares in de-
tense Of the Hodges administration.
He does not believe that the institu-
tons of the state have been Grip
pied to give employment to Demo
Gratis and invites Mr.. Capper to dis
cuss the spOils system in a series Of
joint debates. Rev. Corwine, who
was formerly pastor of the Third
Christian church in Topeka and chap
lain of the state senate in 1913, has
sem the following letter to Mr.. Cap

strong, that no partisan official nor
political fixer, nor gang Of fixers will
dare to avoid it. That is heroic.

seek to convey by these statements
is that the present state administra-
ton has subordinated the public good

that statement. ! am familiar with

Hodges has been solicited, threaten

Charles, the head Of that institution,
because Mr.. Charles was Of the oppo-

to do so because the best interests
of the institution required that no
change be made. further know that

HOME FOLK ENDORSE
DR.. BRUMbAUGH
Noted Educator, Man of Strong
Character, Has Almost Un-
animous Support

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, is a
native of Huntingdon county. The
editor of the Huntingdon Globe speaks
of him in a recent article as follows:
THE citizens of Huntingdon county,
regardless of political affiliations, are
exceedingly rejoiced over the an
nouncement that one of her most dis
tinguished sons, DR.. Martin Grove
Brumbaugh, has acceded to the re-
quest of the Home Folks together
with many thousands of other friends.
and announced himself as a Republi-
can candidate for governor of Penn
sylyania.
I'm our political experience, cover
ing a period of over thirty years, we
have never witnessed more sponta-
neous and universal call for the pub
lie service of any man than in the
case of DR.. Drumbaugh, 1t is ON a par

in favor of Major Mckinley for presi-

avalanche which swept the Little Ma
poleon' from Ohio to Washington.
AT the outset of this campaign, we
submit that, having known DR.. Brum-
baugh from his boyhood days, we have
been such a constant witness of his
integrity, ability and truthfulness, as
well as his confidant in so many of
the noble purposes and high ideals
which invest his character, that we
lcheerfully commend him without any
equivocation or reservation to the peo-
pie of the Commonwealth who want
the service of great and good man.
He was born in Huntingdon coun-
ty, at the foothills of tn Alleghen-
les, ffty-two years ago. He is in the
prime OF life, giant in stature and
intellect, a teacher, a preacher, a lee
turer, disciplinarian, an executive,
and man of such pure life and 'unas-
sailable character that singles him out
from among the seven millions OF
Pennsylvanians as the one man who
gloriously meets the emergency of the
hour, as it has in many epoches of our
State and nations history heretofore.
He is farmers son. He was a
school teacher at sixteen q college
graduate at nineteen. our county su-
perintendent of schools at twenty-five,
and president of Juniata College, his
alma mater, at twenty-seven. That was
making great strides. but it was only
the building of the splendid career Of
a man who subsequently became the
nrst commissioner of public education
of Porto Rico. the head of the depart
ment of pedagogy In the University
OF Pennsylvania, now the superintend-
ent of the public school system of
Philadelphia with its 5000 teachers
and 100000 pupils, and an educator of
national renown.
DIR. Brumbaugh has filled every
rost with distinction. He is absolutely
void of guile and subterfuge. He has
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-04-30

the courage of his convictions and is
no mans in anything. We at home
who know him best unreservedly
vouch for him. DR.. Brumbaugh has
further ambitions. 1t is to be the gov
ernor of his native State. 1t is laud-
able ambition. He is worthy of it. He
has the brains, the moral courage and
the purpose to do right. A man of
prodigious energy and strong intel
lectuality, coupled with genius as an
executive, he Is the undoubted Man
of the Hour.
These lines voice the sentiment of
everybody at home. They are unvar-
nished truths, and hence Huntingdon
county presents with confidence to the
people OF this imperial Common
wealth the name of Martin G. Brum-
baugh for the office of governor, with
the full guarantee that he will sus-
tain his splendid, exalted character
and make good in the great Office to
which he aspires"

Miss Fairfax
Answers Queries
SHE CALLS YOU HER FAvORITE

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am deeply in love with young
lady. I thought she loved me, until
two weeks ago, when she gave another
boy some candy she made. When I
asked her about it she confessed she
gave this other boy the candy, but
swore she loved me best. Then she
sent me a box of homemade candy
with a note in which she called me her
favorite. I understand she gives candy
to a lot of boys. Do you think she loves
me? BILL
SHE gave you candy, too, and since you
have no right to monopolize her time
and efforts, you can't complain.
My criticism of her is based on the
ground that she gives candy to you, or
to any other boy. She should be the
recipient of such favors, not the
donor.

Fine, sheer white organdie is one of the
newest and most fashionable materials for
summer blouses and very charming it is.
AS shown here, it is trimmed with lace
insertion and with embroidered banding
at the center front. In one of the small
views, the blouse is shown with gathered
fronts and without trimming and, treated
in that way, it is adapted to cotton crepe,
cotton voile and materials of the kind.
The tucks seem better suited to the
organdie and the blouse is very dainty
and charming made thereof but it also
is suited to crepe de chine and nearly
all wasting materials. The sleeves are
joined to the blouse and can be made
either in full or in elbow length. Color
on white is one of the fancies of the
present season and white voile with collar
and cuffs of some bright color, such as
orange, cerise or green, would make very
pretty and attractive blouse to be worn
with the skirt of heavy material or the
coat suit.
