OFFICIALS TO BE DRAFTED


The primary election will be held on
Tuesday, 2Sth. Only one petition has
been filed for a borough Office, that of
Walter A Hunt, for collector.
AS there are no seekers after NOM
nations, because men do not care to go
into a partisan scramble, it will be the
duty of voters to draft men for posi-
tons by voting for them at the cleo
ton. The strongest, ablest and wisest
men for Mayor and Council are needed.
Men with time to devote to it and will
ing to learn what they do not know;
men who are financially interested.
The men most likely to be drafted
are as follows:
For Mayor, S. Rushing Leap.
Fol Council, Warren Risner and
Harry A. Dolbow.
Mr.. Leap is a popular young attor-
ney, son of John ?. Leap, who has the
largest general store in Penns Grove.
He is a Republican, and now serving as
Solicitor.
Mr.. Risner is a retired farmer, who
lives on South Broad street. He is a
Democrat and very much interested in
the present development of the Bor-
ough.
Mr.. Dolbow lives on State street and
is the manager of the Hansen cannery
OF Russian caviar, on Railroad Avenue.
He owns several houses and has done
much to improve the appearance of the
Borough by erecting several substan-
tial residences. He is a Republican.
Mr.. Hunt, for collector, is a Republi-
can, who was appointed to fill a vacan-
cy and is not likely to have opposition.
David A. English, for A~ssesorship,
is a Democrat, and will, undoubtedly,
be nominated.
Uniting on this ticket at the primar-
les will assure its election in Novem-
Der without any contest.

THE PLAYERS SIDE.
Men Who Are in the Public Eye Not
as Mercenary as Pictured.

Pitcher Al Demaree of the Philias,
in signed article in the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, discussed base bal
affairs from a PLAYERS standpoint.
Among other things he resented re-
cent aspersions of players, growing
out of the major league war, as fol-
lows:
Ball players are not the money
mad individuals that some people
think they are. They are just like
other people and want as much they
can get for their services. Very few
get any more than they are worth.
If they were not worth what they re-
ceive you can bet all the wheat YOU We
got that they wouldn't be getting it.
II ball players had the solid ivory
domes that are generally credited to
them they would all be inside look ing
out Base ball owners try to cut down
expenses as much as possible, and the
easiest way of doing this is to keep
salaries low. That is good business SO
long as unfair tactics are barred
When a ball player asks for more
money and gets it everybody yells
"Robber! When a man in any other
line of business asks for a raise and
gets it everybody is there with the
glad hand to congratulate him. Why
the difference? 1t now appears that
Mr.. Baker. the smuggling guardian of
the third sack, wants more money. He
isn't the only baker asking for more
money and getting it these days"

Gen. Huerta Coming Here.
Mr.. A. L. Godoy Says,
to Visit at His Home

Alberto l.. Godoy. who was appointed
Mexican consul here by Nictoriano
Huerta when the latter was in power
in Mexico. said last night that the
former dictator is expected to come to
Washington and be Mr.. Godoy's guest.
Mr. Godoy said that if Gen. Huerta
does come to the capital. as he expects
he Will, the former dictator will re-
side at the Biltmore, near Rock
Creek Bridge.
Mr.. Godoy says that Huerta's visit to
Washington, if he comes. will be in
part to show that he nurses no rancor
toward the Wilson administration. and
much less toward the American peo-
pie, whom he admires very much. 1t
is inferred that Gen. Huerta's visit
to this country is simply to show to
the world that he appreciates the
United States desire not to interfere in
Mexican politics and to let Mexicans
and in their own way.
When Mr.. Godoy was asked whether
he thought Huerta intended to start
a revolution of his own. he replied by
no MEANS" but expressed belief that
many Mexicans will clamor for Huerta
when the time is ripe to help duly
established government in Mexico and
lead a well organized army into the
lutions that are at present devastating
Mexico.
But Huerta's ambition said Mr.. Co.
doy. lis not to be president again.
Huerta is a bigger man as general
than statesman. so anybody else i'll
Mexico who is bigger statesman than
a general would fit in very well as
president and with the help of Huerta
would promptly pacify Mexico as DiaZ
did in his time. 1t only toon one DiaZ,
n a n
other man. because Huerta has been
ha ndicapped by the MISUNDERSTANDING
of a powerful government
Son of Former Minister.
Mr. Godoy last year. while Huerta
was in power. lectured here, predicting;
a state of anarchy in Mexico were
Huerta to relinquish power. AS consul
Mr. Godoy endeavored to show the
! mistake and folly of siding with the
| revolutionists.
Mr.. Godoy, who is the son of the
former Mexican minister to Cuba was
five years at the Mexican embassy as
private secretary to five Mexican am
baSsadors.
| The Villa pata agency here gave
out statement yesterday stating that
| it would "in due course address itself
to the government of the United
States. indicating it's view of the pres
ence of Gen. Huerta on American ter
ritory. it being the purpose of Gen.
Huerta and the cientifico element. ac-
cording to informant ton in the possession
of the provisional government. to I'M.
tiate hostile movement along the
frontier. in violation OF the neutrality Y
laws. for the purpose of attempting to
procure their restoration to power in
Mexico"
Especially ii was stated that the
Villa agency would protest against the
admission of Huerta. The representa-
tions. it was said. would be made to
Secretary Bryan by Enrique c. Ilor-
ente. confidential agent of the villa
