being scattered among the other seven
candidates. notwithstanding there
were eight candidates, he carried
thirty-one counties. He carried forty
eight of the sixty-seven counties over
Frazer; the bulk OF Frazer's votes
came from Philadelphia and Alle-
gheny. he having received 43.2s0 in
Philadelphia alone; had it not been
for these two counties he would not
have been the nominee. A strong ar
eument in behalf of Frazer was that
he would balance the Republican
ticket, which in other respects was
made up in the eastern part of the
State. Such consideration brings par
tisan politics in the election of Judge.
The fact that the most active organ
ization politicians OF the State were
united in the support of the nomi-
nation of Frazer. and that his nomi-
nation was due to the extraordinary
lead which was given him through the
organization in Pittsburgh and Phila-
delphia, II not in fact, at least in
spirit, violates the purpose of the non
partisan judiciary act. Judge Frazer
is a man of high character and un-
impeachable record: 1t is not believed
he co-operated In, or was even cogni-
zant of, any political maneuvers in his
behalf. but the facts as stated are
nevertheless indisputable."

Troops Get Permission
to Loot Occupied Town
By Associated Press

London. Sept. 80, $40 A. M.-Cor-
respondents of the Times in France
give contrasting instances of the man
ner in which Germans deal with the
towns they occupy.
During the German occupation of
Peronne, owing to the failure to pro-
vide the requisitions demanded, the
commanding officers, a Times CORES
pondent says, gave the troops permis-
sion to loot the town. For two hours
the Germans needed no second invita-
tion, 1t Is said, and furniture, ancient
and modern, silver and bronze and
pictures and personal property were
loaded on trains and taken away. AT
terwards houses and shops were burn
ed.
At Amiens in similar circumstances
but whore requisitions were satisfied
the Times correspondent pays q tri-
butte to the way in which the Germans
kept their part of the bargain. No
illegal demands were made, all public
buildings were respected and the beau
tlful cathedral was not violated in any
way. The officers In many cases went
out of their way to shop politeness

The physicians who attended Mr..
Pinchot stated this morning that some
food which he had eaten last night
must have caused his illness After in

to discover just what 1t was. Several
members of the party partook of the

sition was thought to be trivial.

physicians, said that the attack was
bound to leave Mr.. Pinchot in weaken
ed state and that it would unsafe to
proceed with the campaign for several
days. All meetings to be held in this
part of the State were then cancelled.

Judge Kunkel's age is in his favor.
The term of the Supreme Court is

In 1913, when reelected, such had
been his record for fairness. integrity
and ability that he was unopposed In

ton there was not a single vote cast
against him in his county.
"As Judge of the Dauphin county

Rainbow Campaign for Funds

This morning arrangements were
perfected for rainbow campaign,
which, 1t Is hoped, will result in
enough members to place the organ
ization on a sound basis Miss Stitt
went on. Miss Mary Jennings is gen.
eral chairman of the campaign and
has under her seven local captains
and seven captains of outlying dis
tricts. The seven local captains in
clude Miss Mary Hester, Miss Anna
Orth, Mrs. William II. Hahn. Mrs. A.
f. Shirey, Mrs. ]. II. Balsley. Miss
Norma Barker and Mrs. Dewitt Fry.
Each captain will have seven lieuten-
ants, and each lieutenant will select
seven workers. Thus Harrisburg will
have an active corps of women solicit
ing permanent members for the asso-
citation. Each captain will represent
one of the seven primary colors. From
the windows of the new building will
hang the seven flags and the object of
each captain will be to have her
particular flag raised above the others.
Each dollar will count one point for
the company, SO that those securing
large number of sustaining mem
bers will count their points rapidly.
There will be seven captains OF
outlying districts also-Mrs. Solomon
Hiney, Jr., of Steelton; Mrs. f. r.
Oyster, of Riverside: Mrs C. NJ. For
HeS' Oh HaXtangi Mrs. Edward N.
Cooper, of Camp Hill; Mrs. Smith,
