e EDITOR G..
MCCORMICK AGAINST UNIONISM

To The Editor of the Telegraph:
l enclose for the beenfit of your
readers extracts from the report of the
proceedings of the sixth annual conven-
Labor, held at Harrisburg, March II,
13, Ii and 10, 1907, to show the working
men of this city that Vance c. McCor-
mick not only had not signed the Typo
graphical Union scale at that time, but
was under some understanding not to
sign any union scale, which contract
he has fulfilled up to the present time:
'On the convention resuming busi-
ness, Delegrate Flury moved for the
appointment of a committee to inter-
view the publisher of The Patriot (Mc-
Cormlcks newspaper) and endeaVor, II
possible, to bring about an agreement
between the paper and the Topographic
The motion carried. and the Chair
appointed Delegates Flury, Bower, Carr
Mrs. Lawrence and Miss Katie Smith
as the committee
The special committee to visit the
Harrisburg Patriot reported
Delegate Flury presented the report
saying that the manager of The Patriot
declared he could not sign any contract
with the local Typographical Union, be-
cause If the paper violated its contract
1t could be sued, while if the union
broke its contract it could not be sued "
The Patriot on this account and the
committee made report to the execu-
tive council in this regard.
Now Mr.. Mccormick comes around
telling us he is in favor of organized
labor. Why did he take the union
label out of The Patriot when he bought
IT; and why is the union label not in
The Patriot now? Is he under contract
not to publish the union label?

1875 NAMES ON
CITY REGISTRATION
BOOKS At z TODAY
II Voters Take Advantage of Last
Chance to Get Registered For
Coming Tuesday

If all the citys voters whose names
are enrolled on the registration books
troop to the polls next Tuesday, Har-
risburg's total vote will number just
13,775-probably the largest in the
city's history.
To-day Dauphin county's Board OF
Commissioners sat in special session
until noon to receive the prospective
voters who by illness or unavoidable
absence on the last regular regis
tration day had failed to get their
names on the lists and who wanted a
chance to vote on Tuesday.
All told II were received to-day.
making a total enrolment by the
County Commissioners of 375. Many
of these were of voters employed out
of town who couldn't get to the city
on the regular registration days.
The various boards of registers in
the city enrolled 400 names on the
three days set apart for the purpose,
which, with to-day's completed total.
swelled the number to the largest in
Harrisburg's history. At that a few
late comers had to be turned away.
They got to the doors just few min
utes after the bars had been raised.
The registration before the County
Commissioners covered a period of
just half dozen days, as follows:
October 3. 40; October 16. AS: Oc-
tober 21. AZ; October 2S, "a; October
2S, 100; October 80, 40, and to-day, IL.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-31

renting of halls and the advertising of
meetings through the mails and in the
newspapers many thousands of dollars
more should be added to the list;
maybe SIS, 200 would be a conservative
estimate of the money spent in order
that a resident of New York could
make a campaign of four days in
Pennsylvania to advocate the election
to the United States Senate of another
resident of New York, Mr.. Pinchot.
1T is assumed that Finn has paid
these bills just as he did in 1912. OF
course a detailed account will be filed
with the secretary of the United States
Senate and with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth at Harrisburg, when
the real facts will be disclosed
1T might be added that the salary
of a United States senator is $500 a
year. He is restricted by the corrupt
practice law of Congress to an eX-
penditure not exceeding $4,000 for
the primary and general election, and
he is compelled to make four affidavits
before and after the general election
as to his expenses. The expense of
bringing Mr. Roosevelt into Pennsyl-
vania will equal at least the salary of
a United States senator for ten years" "

Starting off with two performances
of "Elevating Husband Monday
afternoon and evening, the Myrkle-
Harder Stock Company announces u
full week of exceptional attractions at
popular prices for the Majestic Thea
ter. "Elevating a Husband" is an eX-
ceptionally clever comedy-drama in
which Louis Mann made such big
hit in New York. 1t shows the trials
of hard working and well-meaning
husband, who doesn't measure up to
the social standard that his wife would
have him, but before the close of the
play the husband proves to the wife
that he is far more substantial than
the coterie of finely dressed idlers that
she has about her. There is splen-
did line of comedy running through
this piece as well as some touching
points of pathos. The Myrkle-Harder

LYBARGER CHECK HAS
NOT TURNED UP YETI
Democratic Cuff Artists Con-
science Suffers Strange
Lapse Of Memory (

Representative Augustus Wildman,
candidate for reelection to the Legis-
lature on the Republican ticket, is
after Jesse j. Lybarger, a Democratic
nominee. with a sharp stick. At the
big Republican rally in the Chestnut
Street Auditorium this week Wildman
excoriated Lybarger in defense of some
criticism of his alleged acts as a men,
ber of the last House. Mr.. Wildman
declared that he had never given a
promise to oppose the resident hunt
ers' license bill prior to the election
of 1913 and also explained his vote. on
the bill providing for the reading of
the Bible in the public schools. He
also whacked Lybarger on a court rec
ord on two suits for assault and bat
terry.
Perhaps the most sensational charge
by Mr.. Wildman was one showing up
Lybarger's alleged gallery play on a
check of the State for his services as
transcribing clerk in the last House.
II was pointed out that Lybarger made
a public announcement that he had
been overpaid for days he had not
worked and that his conscience would
Wildman asserted that Lybarger had
never returned the money to the State
Treasury and that he was on record
as having received the same compen-
sation as other transcribers, less mile
| age. Lybarger's pay was $1,204 and
as the check has not been returned it
| is assumed he still has it and can have
1T cashed at any time.

ROCK ISLAND PLAN WAITS
Hitch Between Stockholders
and Bondholders Over Cash.

Who will raise the money? This is the
question that is now holding up the Rock
Island reorganization plan. The stock
holders protective committee of the Rock
Island Company has submitted 10 the pro-
tective committee representing the COL
lateral trust per cent bonds of the Rock
Island Railroad Company It's ideas on the
subject, which are understood to include
the suggestion that the bondhoders stand
their share of reorganization expenses.
The bondholders' committee, it was
learned yesterday, feels that the stock
holders should put up most of the $4,000
900 estimated for immediate requirements
In return for such a large outlay it has
been suggested that the stockholders be
given an equal amount of new per cent
preferred stock. No agreement however
has been reached on any of the pro-
posals thus far made by either committee
and as James r. Wallace, chairman Of
the bondholders' committee, will be out
of the city for week it is believed that
no announcement will be made before his
return.
