REPUBLICANS To
RETAIN CONTROL
Brumbaugh Will Be the Eleventh
Republican to Sit in the
Gubernatorial Chair

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh is the
eleventh of Republican Governors of
Pennsylvania. William Perrine writ
ting in the Philadelphia Bulletin, has
this to say about that circumstance:
when Governor-elect Brumbaugh
shall have taken the oath of office at
Harrisburg, he will be the eleventh of
the Republicans who have been placed
at the head of the Commonwealth.
Indeed the whole Republican record
as regards this control of the Guber-
material office is remarkable. No other
great party of the Union has one that
is quite like it. In Pennsylvania the
Democratic state has usually been a
large affair in point of numbers. Even
when it has been beaten worst, as in
one or two of the Bryan years, it
polled much more than four hundred
thousand votes On several occasions,
too, it has had the benefit of wide
spread independent defections among
the Republicans, sometimes accom-
panied by a fusion or alliance of the
Democrats with these factional forces
In very few States has there been
more of this sort of combinations than
there have been in Pennsylvania dur
ing more than thirty years 1t has
been sometimes habit of forgetful
or ill-informed critics to offer rebuke
to Pennsylvania because, of its one
sided campaigns, for it might be said
of them, If one looked only on the
surface, that they were often like the
famous race of Eclipse-the Republi-
cans first and the rest nowhere. But,
fNA- Of a.k
lessness has broken out time and
again in campaigns along Independent
or Democratic lines. Neverthe-
less only one Democrat, although he
had two terms, has been in the Gu
bernatorial chair of Pennsylvania
since James Buchanan was President
of the United States. In other words,
excepting the two Democratic admin
Iistrations, the Republicans will have
placed their men in that office from
1861 to 1919-if the Governor shall oc-
|cupy it to the end of his term-or
Republican ascendency in fifty years
out of the fifty eight. All these Re-
publican Governors have been, in the
main, party men. They were nomi-
mated and elected under regular Re-
publican auspices. Only two of them
Curtin and Hastings. openly broke
with the party organization, and both
of them failed to accomplish their
purpose. Hoyt, too, became recalci-
trant at one stage of his career, but
his refusal to cooperate with the
Camerons and Quay after he had been
one of their useful and enthusiastic
favorites. did not take place until his
administration had nearly reached it's
end and it produced only a limited
effect on public sentiment, although
the open letter in which he renounced
them was an impressive example of
the eloquence of revolt"

TURKEYS DANCE To
. PHONOGRAPH MUSIC
National Dinner Birds Do Real and
Original Turkey
TrOt
By 'tBud'' Fisher

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 8. Pleasure
seekers on the mesa recently witnessed
a genuine turkey trot. One of a group
of equestrains was Probation officer
Lowe of the Juvenile Court.
One of Mr.. loves special duties is
to see that turkey trotting is not per-
mitted in the city, it being against the
ordinance, but despite the fact that
this turkey trotting was outside the
city limits, Mr.. Lowe concluded that
he had better inspect it. He is now
glad he did so, for he has, come to
the conclusion that the turkey is the
most maligned bird on earth, that
genuine turkey trotting is not vulgar
in the least, but is quite dignifed
pastime.
Music For Trot
This particular turkey trot was held
at one of the country homes in the
mesa close to town. The house has u
large loggia, which is screened in and
extends across the entire side of the
house. On this loggia was stationed
a large phonograph, to the music of
which a group of friends were dane
ing.
Crowded close to the side of the
loggia was flock OF forty or more
turkeys, glossy and sleek, in prime
readiness for the table.
"The turkeys apparently were fas-
cinated by the catchy ragtime music
said Mr.. Lowe, ''and they moved
about in the funniest way imaginable.
They would one-step to the right, then
turn their heads, craning their long
necks to see what the other fowls
thought of their behavior. Then they
would one-step to the left, again cram
ing their necks, sometimes giving a
little hitchy jump in between and an
occasional 'cluck.'
"You can imagine" said Mr.. Lowe,
"the effect of some forty or fifty tur-
keys all going through these peculiar
motions to the music of Too Much
Mustard and You're Here and I'm
Here The minte the music would
stop those turkeys would get up the
greatest gobbling you ever heard and
keep it up until the phonograph start
ed again. I could imagine something
of what they were saying, expressing
their delight at the new style of music
I suppose"

omy was urged by Governor John X
Tener in his annual report to the Ma
tional League yesterday. Governor
Tener said, in part:
''To any student of the times-in
fact to any of us--it was apparent one
year ago that conditions, even then,
did not warrant an optimistic view of
peaceful international relationships, of
good business or successful season in
outdoor sports, particularly baseball,
but rather the reverse, and, generally
speaking, this has been the expert
ence during the year of 1914. Not
withstanding these unnatural con-
ditions, however, and beset on every
hand with difficulties unforeseen and
uninvited, your organization has added
another years record of splendid
ehievement in the annals of the ma
zdonal game.
Must Cooperate
1--WE must conduct our interclub and
interleague affairs in a spirit of CO.
operation and with a sense of fair
with safe business practice. We must
also at all times conduct the business
of our own organization with judicious
economy and ever be prepared to meet
our obligations"
Twenty-one players and manager,
making twenty-five men, will be the
National League limit for all clubs be-
tween May l and September 1 in
future. while thirty-five players will
be the limit during the off season.
Hereafter no National club may start
spring training work as team earlier
than March l., and transforming trips
following the regular playing season
will be discouraged.

reference was made to the proposed
extension of the worlds series from
