The Pottsville Chronicle declares
that Clifford Pinchot spent upward of
$1,000 to Craw audiences for a single
day in Schuylkill county.
which he visited last
Pinchot Thursday, and that at
| Quite a hat rate Pinchot Is
| Spender spending twiceA as much
as Senator P enrose,
.... whose expenditures he is
| lcriticising. Most of Pinchot's eXpen-
ses are for post cards He sent out
$4,000 of these in Schuylkill to voters
to ask their. attendance at the different
towns where he spoke. This of itself
| cost $3.50 for postage alone.
The Chronicle also states that there
will be sensational evidence from the
SchuyllSill on behalf of Senator Pen
rose il there is an investigation of
campaign accounts, as the Democratic
lpostmasters at Pottsville. Frackvllle
and TamaqAa acknowledged last
Spring that the Democratic State or
ganization had attempted to collect
funds from them during the time that
a primary fight was in progress.
An appeal to Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, Democratic nominee
for United States Senator to withdraw
in favor of Clifford Pin
chot was mailed by
registered letter to Mr.. Say Palmer
| Palmer by the Anti Is Not Sure
Penrose Republ C a n of Support
League of Pennsylva-
MIA. Such action, it
was written, would insure the defeat
of "Penrose and Penroseism." In part
the letter says:
you do rot have the support of
your own party-it is faction torn; 1t
| is hopelessly divided. In Philadelphia,
for instance, the Democratic city
chairman has repudiated the local OPP
tion plank in the party platform. The
city committee is not turning a hand
to help you"
A Pittsburgh dispatch says: Work
| men throughout the city, many of
whom deserted the Republican party
two years ago to
cast their lots with
Pittsburgh Men the now defunct
Passing Up Bull Moose party,
Democrats are returning to the
ranks with almost
unlocked for rapid
ity. The folly of having contributed
to the election of a national Demo-
cratic administrations ranking in the
breasts of many who until 1912 had
| earned excellent wages and who now
are spending most of their time in
| idleness. Delegations of these men
call almost daily at Republican head
quarters in Diamond street and there
volunteer as missionaries to- bring
| their fellow workers back to the fold,
Yesterday afternoon a number Of rep
resentative toilers of the Crescent Steel
| Works and other concerns offered their
services to the old party. Members
of this delegation had all enrolled as
| Republicans and most of them said
they had seen as much of the Bull
| Moose as they ever want to see and
that the Democratic administration
had made a grand fizzle of the help
it had promised to extend the work
ingman. Representatives of the coun-
! ty committee, during the past several
days have gone about among the wage
earners soliciting their support, but
found workingmen fiocking around
the Republican colors without persua-
sion.
