Lecturer Says Chaos Would Follow Should
 Hughes Be President

New York, Nov. 4.-Strickland Gillian, well-known lecturer and magazine writer, is supporting Presi- dent Wilson for reelection and gives his reasons in the following statement issued to-day:
 "I voted for MT. Wilson four years ago on what I then believed good grounds. have had no reason to change my mind with regard to his ability or integrity.
 ''Mr. Hughes, in spite of his in- tegrity, is surrounded by an organ ization of such selfish astuteness that chaos might be reasonably expected to result from his election and the power of the organization he is morally bound to try to serve.
 Theodore Roosevelt and other persons have introduced into this campaign such a variety of unfair. disloyal and unpatriotic vituperation and biased, unsportsmanlike and dis torted criticism, that my spirit of fair play is reused to the fighting point. It is the duty of every patriot to re- buke those whose political experience should have taught them better be- havior."

TWENTY YEARS AGO
MARIGOLD OR KNOWLTON?

At the time Congressman Hill was candidates for Congress two years ago Colonel Knowlton of this city was also a candidate. The latter had con- siderable support among the dele gates The fight between the two as- pirants threatened to be one of bitter
 ness and there were indications that it might engender feelings of bitter ness A truce was arranged and a covenant made whereby Knowlton withdrew leaving Hill a clear field. The price asked was the local post mastership two years later, if Hill was renominated and elected. This it is understood was excepted and now Knowlton bobs up serenely and asks that the covenant be kept. He is not at all disturbed by the claims of Marigold's friends and while he has no inclination to have the same made public & is understood he has com- menced preparations for his return to off

ATTORNEY LYONS FINE CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF PROBATE
Good Record and Experi- ence Entitle Him to Sup
 port of All Voters.

Attorney Henry P. Lyons, who has I been nominated by the Democratic party for judge of probate, is regard 1 ed as one of the strongest candidates on the entire ticket Attorney Lyons | is the kind of man who appeals to every type of voter. Of excellent char acter he makes a favorable impress sion upon those he meets in social as well as business life. The result has been that his circle of friends has constantly increased.
 Attorney Lyons has the qualifica- tions so necessary for one to possess if he is to<properly fill such an inn portant office as judge of probate. This court probably interests the av- craze citizen more than other tribun- als with which he may never have any dealings.
 But almost everyone has business in the probate court at some time in life. Through this court affairs in- volving the estates of rich and poor alike must pass. It is recognized by every thinking person that the judge of probate must be a man having sound judgment as we'll as a wide knowledge of the law.
 SS@SoAAo Attorney Lyons will appeal to the in telligent voter. For four years du- ring the administration of the late Judge Edward F. Hallen, Attorney Lyons acted as chief clerk in the pro- bate court. During the illness of Judge Hallen Attorney Lyons took en- tire charge of the court and conduct ed affairs in a capable manner. He 1 lo J4&1 ~f the court routine so that his election means the placing of a steady hand at the helm. The fact that this court has jurisdiction over infants and help less persons, furnishes another reason why a man of common sense should tbe placed in charge.
 Attorney Lyons does not belong to the ''carpet bagger" school of politi- cians. He was born in this city and has lived here all his life. After graduating from the High school he entered Niagara University from which he graduated with honors Then he took a course in Yale Law school, from which institution he also received degree.
 Taking up the practice of law in this city Attorney Lyons has gained an en- viable reputation among members of the bar. He has been true to the highest ideals of his profession and as result was chosen as chief clerk when the late Edward F. Hallen was elected Judge of Probate. Since the present campaign started Attorney Lyons has received assurances of sup Republicans as well. His friends are port not only from Democrats but from confident that he will be victorious election day.

Keeping Pitcher In Box Too Long Doesn't
 Please Many Rooters

New York, Nov. 4-It is all right to talk about letting pitchers who are being pummeled stay in the game and take their medicine and work out their own salvation. and that sort of thing. but greater object is to pro- mote a good contest. Keeping a pitcher in who is being slugged would not do that; it would work the other way. It would decrease his teams chances of winning, would tend to spoil the game and wouldn't suit spectators at all.
 Yet the fan isn't always entirely disinterested in the matter He wouldn't mind it so much if 1t were an opposing pitcher who was being Dumped and yet had to stay there. Whether home or opposing pitcher. he soon would come to dislike that sort of an arrangement, but wouldn't dislike it as much If the visiting pitcher were the sufferer.
 Same way with star ball players being put out of a game by an um- pire If the eMled star happens to be a visiting player the fans disap- pointment is somewhat nitigated; and there are fans whose disapproval of the banishment of 8 crack player is not so intense that they refrain from yelling:-'Put him out!"

REPUBLICANS UNA BILE TO MAKE
 RANK AND FILE OF VOTERS IN
 PROGRESSIVE PARTY TRACTABLE
Blatant Protestons Don't Hoodwink the Sincere Men of the Party-Admission That Roosevelt and Perkins Are Registered Progressves Shows Weakness of the G. O. F. Offense.

New York, Nov. 4.-"The eleventh hour admission that Colonel Roose- l welt and George w. Perkins are reg istered as enrolled Progressives is an acknowledgment that the Repupncan plan of campaign has failed signally,' said Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of the Democratic National commit tee, to-day. '"The admission is one of the significant developments of the campaign, and completely destroys the deceitfuN contention of Candidate Hughes and his managers that the Republican party is reunited. It is just another evidence of shallowness and hollow mockery that have char acterized the Republican campaign, and leaves no question as to the re- election of President Wilson.
 "At the beginning of the campaign, Colonel Roosevelt and MT. Perkins were among the most boisterous in proclaiming that their treachery at Chicago had resulted in the death of the Progressive party. The Repub- lican National Committee proceeded on this assumption, and six ex-Pro- gressives were named as members of the Hughes Republican campaign committee.
 After weeks of futile effort, the Republicans and their associates among the Progressive traitors dis cover that they have failed to corral the rank and file of the Progressive party, and that a large element of the me,> and women who are loyal to the ideals and principles of the party, that Roosevelt and Perkins sought to scuttle at Chicago, have aligned themselves under the standard of Woodrow Wilson. Among these is John M. Parker, the vice presidential nominee of the Progressive National convention.
 "Unable to hoodwink the rank and file of the Progressive party by their blatant protestations that the party is no more, but is amalgamated with the Republican party, under the lead ership of the men whom they de- nounced as porch h-climbers and sec- ond-stOry workers, Colonel Roosevelt and MT. Perkins admit that they themselves are registered and enroll ed as Progressives They are support ing MT. Hughes, to hear them tell it, because they believe the Republican candidate typifies the Progressive spirit of the times in his association with Boise Penrose, William Barnes, Murray Crane, Reed Shoot, fleming way of Indiana, and that other small band of Old Guardsmen who domi- mated the 1912. Republican conven- ton.
 Roosevelt and Perkins are SUD- porting MT. Hughes, not as re-chris- tened Republicans, but as enrolled

| "The Democratic National Com
 mittee, at the beginning of the cam
 paign, refused to accept the view of
 ! Roosevelt and Perkins that the Pro- gressive party was dead and that it's | membership had been amalgamated with the Republican party. The Democrats set out to win the Pro- gressives as Progressives, confident that the achievements of the Wilson Administration carried an irresistible appeal to all true believers in the principles of the Progressive party as enunciated in it's 1912 platform.
 '"The success of this plan speaks for itself. Eleven of the members of the Resolutions committee that fram- ed the Progressive platform of the 1912 convention have voluntarily signed a public statement, declaring themselves to be 'unalterably in favor of the retention in office of President Woodrow Wilson, under whose guid- ance. and leadership more Progress sive principles have been enacted in to law than we believe might have been accomplished had the Progress sive party been in power
 "It is too late for Colonel Roose- welt, MT. Perkins and their Old Guard associates to capture any considerable number of the Progressives by the eleventh hour change in their plan of campaign. It has been shown re- peatedly that in the State of New, York, for instance, if 25 per cent. of the Progressives voted for the Presi- dent he will carry the state over MT. Hughes. In Ohio, it is necessary that the Democrats get only 20 per cent. of the Progressive. The same percentage will give the President Illinois, and in Indiana it is necessary that only 12 per cent. of the Progress sives vote for the President to give him the states electoral vote. New Jersey will cast it's vote for the Presi- dent if 20 per cent. of the Progress sives support him, while only 13 per cent. of the Progressive vote will be required to place Nebraska in the Democratic column.
 'I know that in each of these states a percentage of Progressives considerably in excess of the number selves under the standard of Wood row Wilson. Moreover, the Republi- aan campaign managers know the
 same thing, and that is why, in this eleventh hour, Colonel Roosevelt and MT. Perkins change front entirely. hoping to check the Progressive trend toward Wilson; and that is why the Republican managers, in their hys- | terical panic are resorting to every | political trick their ingenuity can de- wise, to temper the aroused resent
 ment of the people,"

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The Chicago Tribune lRep.) to-day quotes Frank o. Lowden, Republican candidate for governor, as predicting hard times unless Hughes is elected so a pro- tective tariff can be enacted. On an- other page the Tribune quotes several of the most wide, known bankers in the United States, among them Charles G. Dawes, Republican and former Comptroller of the Currency, who says that prosperity will con- tinue in the United States for several years, irrespective of the ending of the war in Europe"

HOW TO secure
MEMBERSHIP in
A SCOUT TROOP

Any boy of IL years OF over may be-
come scout by applying to the scout
master of the troop already started
in his section of the city or town If
he lives in large city where there is
a scout commissioner or scout execu-
tive. it would be better to apply to
that officer. At present in this city
we have scout headquarters and any
boy wishing to become scout can
apply. To become scout, get scout
handbook from some of the book
stores and read it over and if you like
it, get in touch with some of the
scouts and they will tell you all you
wish to know
Troops of Boy Scouts should be con-
nected with some school, church or
other institution when practicable The
head of the institution should certify
to his approval of the organization of
the troop of boy scouts upon the ap-
plication blank which the institution
forwards to the local headquarters
from where IL is sent to New York.
The institution through its proper au-
thorities furnishes a committee of at
least three responsible persons who
shall be known as the troop commit
tee. This troop committee is respon-
sible for the selection of a scoutmas-
ter. The best way for boys to be-
come scouts is for them to apply to
their Sunday school teacher or super
intendent, or some leader interested
in boys work in the home and town,
and have him make himself respon-
sible for the organization of troop
as suggested. In all cases the consent
of the parent or guardian should be
given. If it is difficult to secure help
in organizing troop local headquar-
tiers will gladly give assistance.
