Progressive URGES
Vote FOR DEMOCRAT

As evidence Of the extent to which
the party wreckers are going in their
efforts TO defeat the Republican ticket,
it has been learned that at least one
Progressive is openly advocating the
election of a Democrat over a Repub-
lican. This man is Henry Thompson,
of this city, who in letter to W. r.
Patterson, of Delaware City, advocates
the election OF T. Griffith Ellison, the
Democratic candidate for the Legisla-
ture in Red Lion hundred, over Fred
erick Bender, the Republican nomi-
nee.
Mr.. Thompson. is one of the leaders
in the third ticket party wreckers
movement and was one of the men
who filed that ticket in this county.
In his letter Mr.. Thompson asks
Mr.. Patterson to work against Mr..
Bender in favor of a Democrat. not
withstanding the fact that Mr.. Bend
ler's name is on the third ticket that
was filed.
Mr.. Patterson. to whom the letter
was sent, was a member of the Pro-
gressiye State Committee four years
ago but ia this campaign. when the
party wreckers went so far as 10 file
a third ticket he refused to support
the movement and is aligned with the
Republican party

BUCHAREST, Nov. 4-Following
the Rumanians' successful resistance
on their northwestern frontier, the
Germans yesterday attacked on the
whole DObrudja line after several
days lull in Mackensen's operations
On .he right wing, resting on the
Danube, the Rumanians repulsed all
attacks. The Rumanian left wing
first drove back the enemy. but later
was compelled to yield ground
slightly
The renewal Of the attack in Dob
rudja, however. is believed here to be
only a feint to conceal the shifting OF
German troops to the Transylvanian
front. II is estimated that the Ger
mans must send five fresh divisions
into Pennsylvania to fill gaps made in
their lines in their last offensive and
TO add enough strength to enable
Falkenhayn to make further progress.
The Germans have lost heavily in
the recent fghtinf around Vulkan
Pass and south of Red Tower Pass.

"This means that if the railroads tried
