WARE HARVEST UNDER
SMITH PATRONAGE
Citizens Republican League
Says Firms Profits
Have Increased

The close relationship between the wares
and the Smith administration, according to
the citizens Republican League. has given
the contractor leaders bigger profits from
the city than ever.
In a statement issued this afternoon
the league declares that other contrac-
tors have virtually abandoned bidding
on city work on account of the prefer
ence shown the Wares by the Admins
tration. BY way of illustrating how the
Wares profit in this connection the league
cites n contract for grading Oregon ave-
nue. from the Delaware to 18th street. 1t
Is asserted that for this work the con-
tractors will receive S139,l79 Ashes
may be used In the oregon avenue MI
and the league points out that the Wares
are paid for collecting the ashes and
again for dumping the same ashes as I'LL
in the grading work.
For collecting ashes in the second and
third districts the league declares that
the Wares received this year $4,000 more
than last year and also an Increase OF
s45. 900 for the street cleaning contracts
in the same district. The league calls
for reputation of a system which per-
mits such abuse.

CoNFERs WITH LEADERS

READING, April 4.-speaker Charles
a Amber opened his campaign for the
Republican nomination for Auditor Gem
eral here today. He is spending the day
conferring with active party workers of
Berks County.
Amber sounded a call for reunited
party in a statement which he issued
immediately upon his arrival and in
directly hit at Senator Penrose by dis
cussing Influences that have sought to
utilize the party for sinister purposes
The speaker arrived shortly after 10
o'clock and went directly to the Penn
Hotel, where he established headquarters.
tte viii spend the day and tonight con-
ferring with workers here, and will go
to Allentown tomorrow morning.
In announcing his plans for the cam
paign, Speaker Amber said that he will
do no public speaking until after the
primary election, and then under the aus
pices Of the Republican State Commit
tee" He will spend the time before the
election meeting the party workers in
every county
Ambler's statement. appealing TO the
voters of Berks County to support him
and outlining his plans and the principles
upon which he is running, follows:
MY purpose in visiting Berks County
is to solicit the votes of the Republic
cans of this good old section in behalf of
my candidacy for Auditor General. Realz-
ing that II is a physical impossibility for
me to personally meet all of the voters.
I am issuing this statement in order that
/ may make general appeal. Time does
not permit me at present to undertake
stumplng tour of the State, but l plan
TO make addresses under the auspices of
the Republican State Committee in every
county of Pennsylvania following the pri-
maries.
'At this time, more than ever the future
welfare of our nation depends upon Re-
publican success next November This
can be accomplished only by n reunited
party. The disaster OF 1912, with its
ordinations and recriminations, must be
redeemed. 1 am and have been a Repub-
lican all my life. AS true party man
and worker however. 1 have stood for
principles which strengthen the party, and
have likewise opposed influences which
have sought to utilize the party for sim
lister purposes.
In the Legislature l ardently supported
the act establishing uniform primaries.
The intent of this law is to give the people
the opportunity to name their own can
didates. Self-constituted leaders have no
longer the power to force upon the ticket
candidates who are not the peoples choice.
1 am conducting my own campaign, and
am making my appeal direct to the Re
publican voters of the Commonwealth. If
elected, my single purpose will be to give
the State an efficient and businesslike adj
minlstration."

NoRRTSTOwN, Pa, April 14.-The Lii
cense Court adjourned today without a
/ word from Judges Swartz and Miller TO
/ relieve the worry of the four Montgomery
/ County liquor dealers whose applications
| for the renewals of their licenses are the
! only ones not decided upon.
The Judges have had since last Fri
day to grant these licenses II they were
so disposed. and the saloon men came to
court today confident that the load Of un-
certainty would be lifted from their shoul-
| ders. The silence of the men on the bench
was taken as sign which boded no good
TO the liquor dealers against whom re-
| monstrances had been filed by the Law
and order Society.
II has been the custom of the judges TO
grant the licenses just as soon as they
| reached a decision.
The only four licenses not renewed thus
far by the Court were for the Valley
Forge Hotel and the Mcclellan House,
Noristown the Imperial Cafe, Pottstown
and the wholesale store of Samuel +.
Swers. Green Lane. All of these men
were represented In court when todays
session began and were ready to pay their
fees, take their licenses with them aud
open their doors to thirsty patrons.
Four applications for new licenses in
hotels where the license was revoked
last year are also pending. but the
Judges have not had sufficient time to
reach decisions. The last OF these was
heard today, the application of Merritt
Young. Reliance Hotel, Franconla town
ship, following which license court adj
journed after having been in session
since March 81.
Young said he was qualified to he a ho-
telkepper because he had served as bar
tender for two months Gin the city"
"You mean Philadelphia" he was
asked
NO sir; in Camden" was his reply
Young also said he had served as bar
tender several times at the annual fairs
at Allentown. He rented the hotel several
months ago, but II was without a license,
He said his receipts had amounted to only
$40 or $12 n week. The hotel is but half
n mile from Souderton, where there are
two saloons.
Frank @. We'll, a member of the town
ship school board, who at a previous
years License Court said he believed
there should be a hotel every half mile
along the road said today that this
seemed to be the arrangement in Norris
town. Judge Swartz calculated for a
minute with a pencil, and then informed
We'll that the four saloons in Franconia
were twice as many in proportion to the
population as i'm Norrstown.
