LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
LAW AND ORDER WARNING
the Editor of the TcIeerdbh:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The Dauphin County Law and Order
League has secured information that
votes are to be bought in a number of
city and county precincts at the cleo
tion on November Z. There are plans
being made for the use of liquor in
those precincts in order to influence
voters.
The league has no desire to send men
to prison. 1t wants to break up the
corrupt elction work that has been
practiced throughout many city and
county precincts. To accomplish that
result it prosecuted a number of cleo
tion law violators. who were sentenced
to pay fines or serve three months in
prison. At that time both Judge George
Kunkel and District Attorney M. L.
Stroup stated their positions with re-
spect to the election law violators, and
gave emphatic notice that the law
would be upheld and violators punished.
The Law and Order League has men
working in both the city and county
districts to watch for the use of money
or liquor on election day. They will
| also watch for the men trying to vote
who have not been assessed and per-
sonally paid taxes. Complete lists Of
the generations for the past FIVE years
are ready for use IL men on the ex-
oneration list attempt to vote.
The election law regarding the use of
money provides that:
ANY person who shall give or prom
ise or offer to give an elector any
money. reward or other valuable con-
sideration for his vote at an election
held for the purpose of voting on an
amendment to the constitution, or any
other public purpose, or for withhold
| ing the same, or who shall give or
promise to give such consideration to
any other person or party for such
| electors vote, or for the Withholding
thereof, and any elector who shall re-
ceive or agree to receive for himself
or for another. any money, reward or
other valuable consideration for his vote
at such election or for Withholding the
same. shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction thereof shall pay
fine not exceeding one thousand dol
lars and undergo imprisonment not ex-
| ceeding one year."
The law regarding the use of liquor
on election day states
'It shall not be lawful for any per-
son with or without license, to furnish
by sale. gift or otherwise to any per-
son any spirituous. vinous, malt or
brewed liquors. on any day upon which
elections are now or hereafter may be
required to be held and 1t shall
be held and deemed a misdemeanor. and
upon conviction thereof the offender
shall be fined not less than fifty dollars
nor. more than five hundred dollars, and
undergo an imprisonment of not less
than twenty nor more than ninety
days"
Any watcher or voter who sees any
one using either money or liquor at
any time or place on election day
should take the name of the person or
persons and of any witnesses and tele-
phone 232 Bell phone. Prompt action
will be taken by the Law and Order
League.
| No ether warning will be given. All
violators of the law will be prosecuted.

Secretary.

HUGHES OR WILSON /?

Americas future demands Charles
Evans Hughes" concludes the booklet
recently issued by the Hughes Ma
tional College League, and winds up a
brief comparison of the two men with
these words:
THE prospect calls for leader; for
a man with a national and an inter-
national mind. not q man born of the
political school which believes in de-
GENERALIZATION of government and con-
siders all government necessary evil;
a man of action. not a man of words:
man with a great heart and broad
human sympathies who will not Sc
clude himself. nor consult with ILL
chosen advisers. but who will surround
himself with the most capable men
this country has produced, and who.
while taking counsel with them, will
lead the thought and action of the
nation for a new America in New
World"

WEST SHORES OPPORTUNITY

IF the West Shore is half as pro-
/ gressive as it pretends to be it will
pass the central high school loan to
come before the voters next Tuesday.
Such an opportunity has never been
presented to the voters of the cross
river towns to assist in the develop
ment of their home districts.
The West Shore is a desirable resi-
dence district. Hundreds of people
who have gone there looking for home
sites have come back to the city de-
lighted with what they found-but de-
ploring that the schools were not up
to city standards.
The fact that the educational system
was regarded as not as good as that OF
Harrisburg has kept large numbers OF
people from building or buying in

THE NoNPARTIsAN CAMPAIGN

PENNSYLVANIA has no higher
duty to perform on next Tues
day than to elect to the State
Supreme bench a man we'll qualified
for the duties of justice of the highest
tribunal of the Commonwealth. We
were told that when the nonpartisan
law, under which judges are now
chosen in Pennsylvania, was enacted
more attention would be paid to the
1t was asserted that the bench would
be removed from politics and selec-
tons having been made without
partisan consideration or prejudices,
the best man would always win.
Just how these very laudable objects
have not worked out in the operation
of the nonpartisan law must be ap-
parent TO anybody who has observed
the workings of the statute in question.
The iudgeships have not been taken
out of politics, except in very rare
cases, although the names of candi-
dates have been removed from party
ballots and it usually follows that
when party leaders have failed to take
an active interest in behalf of judicial
candidates the public has lost sight
of the contests.
1t happens there is just such an
instance at hand now. Party leader
ship has been so engrossed with its
own particular problems and interests
that it has paid little attention to the
candidacy of Judge Emory a. Walling.
candidate for the Supreme Court, and
the justice, living strictly to the let
ter of the nonpartisan law, has left
his candidacy entirely in the hands
of the voters, with the result that one
of the most important offices to be
filled this Fall has had little or no
public discussion.
1t would be pity if lack of atten-
ton cut into the vote that Judge Wall
ing should have. He has had a long
and distinguished judicial career. He
was appointed to the Supreme bench
because of his eminent fitness there
for. He has won the approval of his
fellows on the bench and of all those
who have watched his work in the
Supreme court. There Will be but two
names on the ballot, those of Judge
| Walling and a man of unknown
abilities and no judicial experience
As between the two Judge Walling is
so far the superior that his election
should be unanimous.

West Shoric communities. Ask any
real estate man if that is not true.
Give the West Shore central high
burg in population, and every time a
new house goes up on the West Shore
1t means added valuation to the ad-
joining properties. Land and houses
sell better and rent better where the
school facilities are good. Ask any
property owner if this is not true.
The question of taxation ought not
TO enter into this high school loan.
for the reason that it is going to cost
few years to send their boys and girls
10 the Harrisburg high schools than
it will to build and maintain the GEN.
tral high school that is planned. The
school code provides that under con-
ditions such as now prevail pupils may
attend the Harrisburg high schools,
and that means an expense for tax
payers, and parents. too. which should
not be necessary and which as the
years go by will exceed by far the cost
of the proposed high school.
Besides, the central high school in
operation would enable the various
towns to use their little high school
buildings for grade school purposes
and thus avoid erecting new buildings
as the towns grow.
There is everything good to be said
of the West Shore high school loan
proposition and no reasonable objec-
ton can be raised to II.
If the voters turn it down they will
make grave and costly error.

As usual, our Democratic friends are
raising the scarcecrows of a great cor
ruption fund and the invisible govern
ment to frighten the voters into sup
porting President Wilson. They have
even constructed a Cabinet for Mr..
Hughes, which is designed to deceive
the working man into the support of
the Wilson ticket. All these signs indi-
cate more fully than anything else the
fear of the Wilson promoters that their
game is up.

Secretary of War Baker has been
called the "Burchard" of the Wilson ad-
ministration. His inexcusabIe refiec-
tion upon the Revolutionary heroes and
his still more laundering charge that
enemies of the Wilson administration
were endeavoring to foment an attack
by the villa bandits upon the troops on
the Border. have given him a notoriety
which must be exceedingly trying for
those responsible for his place in the
Cabinet. Baker is the incarnation of
the Wilson administration. and repre-
sents the indifference of those at the
head OF the Government to the best ira
ditions and principles which have from
the very foundation of the Republic
been honored by the people.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 4
THAT HIGH SCHOOL LOAN

VOTERS of Harrisburg will decide
v on Tuesday whether they want
to provide new high school facili-
ties by means of a loan or by direct
taxation.
If you adopt the loan plan there
will be little increase Of tax and no
excuse for any raise in rents.
If you kill the loan the School Board
will build the new high schools out of
current taxes. and rents will have to
be raised.
There is no question that the high
schools are needed. Everybody admits
that. Every day that we permit pres
ent conditions to continue we rob our
boys and girls of rightful advantages.
Neither is there any doubt that the
School Board can and will build these
needed schools out of current revenue.
If they are permitted to borrow the
money the directors believe they may
not need to advance the tax rate next
year. If there is no advance in tax,
OF course there will be no advance in
rents, and we have it from the biggest
landlord in Harrisburg that there will
be no excuse for putting up rents even
IL the tax rate is raised one mill. But
II eight or ten mills are added to the
tax rate each year to pay for the
buildings by direct taxation, property
owners will of necessity have to raise
rents. i- r..
The proposition therefore is
Pass the loan and get your high
schools without an advance in rent;
Or
Kill the loan and have your rents
raised two or three dollars a month to
pay for the new schools.
