Harrisburg and this section will
4 unite in the final rally of an
interesting campaign. Those
who gather in the Chestnut street
auditorium to hear the orators of the
evening discuss live issues will en-
brace many voters who were aligned
with the third party two years ago and
scores of Democrats who have tired
of the disastrous experimenting at
Washington.
Harrisburg is one of the centers Of
a great industrial Commonwealth and
it is proper that our citizens should
demonstrate in some public manner
their feeling toward the party of in
capacity and false doctrine that has
precipitated upon the country condi-
ton of business that is as deplorable
as it was unnecessary.
Instead of reducing the high cost
of living as was promised throughout
the campaign of 1912, and fulfill
ing all the pledges to give legitimate
business chance, the Washington
administration has broken it's pledges
right and left and now comes to the
people asking a further commission
to continue its laundering for two
years more.
Unless all signs fail the voters of
Pennsylvania and those throughout
the country are preparing to express
at the polls in no uncertain way their
opinion of Democratic misrule during
the last eighteen months

BRUMBAUGH AND THE PEOPLE
[Ernnn thn A14nnna n.lA,

[From the Altoona Tribune.1
Notwithstanding the terrific on
slaught of the Mccormick partisans. or
rather in spite of it, DIR. Brumbaugh
continues to grow stronger with the
voters of Pennsylvania. They recog-
nize that there is absolutely no foun-
dation for the insinuations or charges
of his political enemies, and they have
nothing but contempt for the sort Of
politics that pats an illustrious and
useful citizen on the back with one
soned weapon held in lthe other They
realize the baseness and the turpitude
of such conduct and some who had not
meant to support the Republican
standard bearer have fallen into line
because they resent the employment Of
such tactics. Men like Martin G. Brum-
baugh are valuable asset to Pennsyi-
vania and the vote he will receive on
election day will be the worthy and
emphatic comment of the people upon
the policy by his enemies

The most intricate problems OF
trade, the most important questions
of finance, are settled offhand by
men with no knowledge of busi-
ness and with little training for
public office.
Democracy is a party that puts
faith in quack remedies for i'm
aginary ills. 1t delights to investi-
gate and disturb. 1t is an ardent
advocate of the principle that
whatever is, is wrong, unless we
have done it,
1t makes a platform with many
promises and breaks them all, 1t
tits at windmills to reduce the
price of living, but only increases
1t.

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-28

Manifestly, the awful fear of the de-
feat that is already casting it's shadow
across his pathway has taken hold of
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor. lie personally called upon the Di-
rector of Public Safety, in Philadel-
phia, this week, and begged him to see
to it that the Democratic workers re-
ceive fair play and ample police protec-
ton at the polls! This is the usual pre-
liminary to an explanation of defeat.
Is this preparing the way to a claim of
fraudulent voting and insufficient police
protection and all the other awful
things which usually happen to a can
didate who is beaten?

kAWS COMING HOME
Pitching Staff Looking Better-Joe
French Here.

The Kaws will return to Topeka to-
night after a long, disastrous road
trip. With the two games today, the
team has played sixteen contests and
won one and will be given a chance
to play over another. The result of
today's game will be decided this
afternoon. This trip has been the
most disastrous ever to befall a To-
peka aggregation and probably the
greatest ever to occur to a Western
League team.
Except on one or two occasions the
team has played meritoriously, but
baseball is baseball. and hard luck
overcome their efforts. 1t appeared at
the beginning OF this trip that the
poor showing was due to the pitchers,
but on several occasions the pitchers
worked well and the team couldn't
bunch hits to get the necessary num-
Der of scores to win.
The fans of Topeka have probably
lost sleep on account Of this poor
showing, but Manager Dale Gear and
the members of the team have lost
considerable. In two games at Des
MOines, in addition to the protested
game which was thrown out, in some
at Omaha and Sioux City the Kaws
were encouraged but a circus catch or
timely hit robbed them Of victory.
The real condition of affairs was
brought to Topeka by Joe French, who
has been sold to Keokuk, Iowa, and
1lICHeT FalTClOln. french says that
sensational fielding robbed the Kaws
of two victories at Des Moines and the
same thing robbed them of two more
at Sioux City. French holds no single
person on the Topeka club responsible
for the loss.
The pitching staff now appears to
be in good condition. Barney Nc
Grath, in the last two contests has
shown his oldtime form, Pepper
Clarke has shown his old original
form in the last three contests and
Higginbotham showed up in fine form
in the game he pitched at Sioux City.
Paul Brown does not look as good as
he did at the opening Of the season
but he will regain his condition in
short order.
The team returns home and will
open with Omaha for twenty-five
games on the home lot. One or two
double headers will be staged in or
der to play off postponed games. The
following teams visit Topeka in the
following order: Omaha, st. Joseph,
Sioux City. Des Moines, Lincoln and
Denver. The Kaws will close here

Manager Dale Gear has signed
Pitcher George Clarke, a southpaw.
He started with Des Moines. was given
a trial by Wichita and couldn't stay on
account Of being wild. He formerly
was Western League star.
Joe French believes Infielder Lemon
will make q good showing. He is an
experienced man.
