PT|ONS HAVE
STARTED IN STREAM
Numerous Party Names Have Been
Taken For the Coming Elee-
ton Campaign
VERY BUSY AT PHILADELPHIA
Half a Dozen Have Been Pre-
empted For the State Cam
paign as Well

Although the primary campaign OF
1914 will not open until February Il
which is the first day for securing sig
natures to nominating petitions for
the primary on May 10, the names OF
nine political parties have been pre-
empted in papers filed in the Dauphin
county court and at the office of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. Most
of these names have been pre-empted
for the nomination of State and Con-
gressional tickets, but there are many
taken for various districts In Phila-
delphia and Allegheny counties. 1t is
expected that there will be more.
but the record of 1912 may not be
attained. Parties which pre-empted
names I'm that year contained sole
rights to use through votes polled
The party names pre-empted for
Republican. Keystone, United Labor
stances thes names have also been
pre-empted for Congressional and
legislative elections.
The Anti-Penrose party has pre-
empted that name in thirteen Phila-
delphia districts and in four in Mont
gomery; the nonpartisan name has
been taken for three Philadelphia dis
tricts; Organized Labor for several
Philadelphia districts: Keystone for
eight districts of various classes in
Philadelphia; Bull Moose for three
in Philadelphia and several in Allie
gheny; Roosevelt Progressive in Phila-
delphia and Allegheny and Progressive
Republican for the First judicial dis
triot, while Progressive has been taken
for all Congressional elections.

HOUSING CONDITIONS

To the Editor Of The Telegraph:
The miserable housing conditions in
portions of the old Eighth Ward. as OBJ
served recently by some city officials,
are not of recent origin. nor are they
confined exclusively to that section In
various articles for the Telegraph,
have, from time to time. brought in.
incidentally. some of the unsahitary and
repulsive conditions existing within a
short distance from the heart of the
city.
/ will give but one quotation. In the
Telegraph of February IL, 1909. in the
article prepared on the subject of the
Population of Harrisburg and the In
accuracies of the U. S. Census of 1900."

can find houses In seventh street. and

statement: "A few years since when the

The building alluded to in this ar
tlcle was the one at the southwest COR

uarkness and dirt of every portion OF

there like sardines in box to observe
the simplest sanitary conditions or the

THE REWARD OF EFFORT

~ ROM faraway Montana comes a
n story that has in it lesson or
! two for Harrisburg boys and
girls, and for older ones, too.
The Crazy Mountain schoolhouse is a
10 by IL shack, with a roof which
sIants but one way and is covered with
black tar paper. Cracks in the floor
were so big that pencils easily fell
through them. The only light that
came in was from three tiny windows,
two in the rear and one on the left.
The hole cut through the roof to ac-
commodate the stovepipe was so large
that when 1t rained the water ran into
the stove and put the fire out. Rain
also beat in at the door, which was
held shut by chain hooked over
a nail. The desks were borrowed
from a neighboring school which had
thrown them away as useless The
seats were held up by sticks of wood.

to find box of the right size to use
as an individual chair, and the
teachers desk was a plank nailed TO
two sticks and set against the wall.

ONLY HUNDRED DOLLARS

WY H1LE the principal aim of the
M Associated Charities of Har-
Wv rsburg is the organization
and development of the sys-
TEN of cooperation with charitable
and philanthropic associations and in
stitutions in helping the poor and
needy, the problem of temporary re-
lief has been a serious one during the
winter months just past, and the con-
sequent drain on the Charities imam
cial resources, naturally, has been un-
usually heavy.
Scores of men who are eager, anx-
ious for employment, and who
tramped the city over seeking a Job
whereby they might provide food and
warmth for wife and children; weary
travellers from other points who got
as far us Harrisburg on their way
home; widows with children who
needed immediate help while their
cases were being investigated with a
view to providing permanent relief;
these are just a few of the instances
wherein the Charities was called upon
to lend helping hand instantly.
And the effect on the treasury has
been noticeable; the appropriation al
lowed for administration purposes has
been cut into sadly. To-day marks the
closing of the Charities fiscal year.
and at least 500 is necessary to tide
the association over into the new year
without carrying along a deficit And
that is why the appeal for subscrip-
tions is going out to the charitably in
clined folks of Harrisburg.
