CHRONIC OFFICE SEEKER

1t may be that President Wilson
has been induced to believe that he
owes something to the irrepressiole
Francis J. Heney, of California, but
that conviction is not participated In
by the ones who did the real work
which carried the Pacific coast State
for the Democratic candidate. The
mere rumor that Heney is being con-
sidered as a possible successor to At
torney General Gregory has set the
California oil men on fine wire edge.
They regard him as one Of the group
that would tie up the old lands Of Cal
ifornia and they feel that the develop
ment Of oil territory by private enter
prise would be brought to an end.
Among them are some Democrats OF
influence, who have thought that they
contributed not little to securing
the vote Of the State for Wilson and
who have looked for their reward in
more liberal" policy regarding the
oil lands. Now they are confronted
by the reflection that some folks
think it was Heney who made Cali
fornia Democratic; and they resent
not only this conclusion but its cor
rollary that Heney is to be rewarded.
Mr.. Heney will be remembered as
flashing telegram to Mr.. Wilson de-
claring his intention Of boiling
Hughes and supporting him. He made
false impression on the country for
awhile until it was discovered that he
was originally a Democrat and had
joined the Progressives for the hopes
of office that connection held out 10
him. He got no encouragement, how
ever, and disappointment moved him
to return to his original political pas
lures. 1t may be that. after all, he
will find grazing there very poor.

SECOND GAME
MAY BRING TIE
Phillies Must Win Today and
Tomorrow to Hold Pennant
Chances

Chicago. ILL.,, Sept. 2e.-Brooklyn
and Philadelphia to-day are close to a
tie in one of the most exciting finishes
seen In many years for the National
League championship. Brooklyn has
the advantage by a technical half
game, but the Philadelphians are
closer than that in percentage because
they have played fewer games than
the leaders.
The actual standing. carried out to
Six figures, gives Brooklyn a percent
ege of .60s10S and Philadelphia
.606Se7.
Brooklyn and Philadelphia play to-
day and tomorrow and then Brooklyn
VIII finish the season in a four-game
series with the record breaking New
York club. Philadelphia will end the
schedule by playing six games in four
days with Boston, which still has an
outside chance for the flag.
In the American League Boston to-
day is two and one-half games in front
OF Chicago, having dropped back half
a game yesterday by losing to New
York, while Chicago and Detroit were
idle.
Boston now has only to win three
out of the five remaining games in or
der to keep out of reach of Chicago if
the latter should take all four games
from Cleveland. Boston's remaining
games. two with New York and three
with Philadelphia, are at home.\
Tho standing of the there leaders to-
day is.

tanned groups of their friends and ex-
planned in detail the plan which the
directors of the Chamber have de-
cided Is the right one for accomplish
ing the purpose in view.
Following the explanation at each
luncheon those present were given an
opportunity to pledge their services for
two hours work each day on Tues
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day of next week. On Tuesday morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock these men who
wish to take this particular means to
show their faith in Harrisburg and
its future will gather at the Board of
Trade building and will there receive
final instructions as to their duties.
For the past two weeks or more a
special committee has been at work
going over an extensive prospect list
Men on this list have been kept in
formed by mail and by personal con-
tact of the plan of the directors to
enlarge the Chamber in numbers, in
finances and in efficiency. These cards
have been sorted and districted. On
Tuesday morning the workers will be
divided into committees of three and
each committee will be furnished a
list of prospects,, thees having been
carefully divided into districts so
that time may be saved the commit
teemen. No effort will be made to
induce any man to join to the Cham
ber and the visit of the committee will
be rather in the nature of extending to
the prospective member a definite op-
portunity to join the Chamber of
Commerce. Already several men
have called the Chamber of Commerce
office stating that they had received
q letter from President Bowman of
the Chamber and that they desired
to become members.
The F3ureau Plan
In brief the plan under which the
Chamber is being enlarged is the
bureau or departmental plan. This Is
the type of organization which has
proven so successful in commercial
organization work in more than one
hundred cities of the United States
Under this plan the work of the
Chamber is divided under various
heads. such as civic, industrial, agri-
cultural and the like. The member
aligns himself with the department
particularly interested. The actual
work is done by special committees
appointed for certain definite jobs and
then discharged. In this way 1t has
been found that real results can be
accomplished. In addition to the
bureau plan the local directors have
determined to establish what will be
known as the membership council.
This will be a body made up of dele
gates chosen from all tne trades and
occupations represented In the Cham
brr. This body will be of an initiative
and referendum character but will not
actually carry out the suggestions It's
mem bers make. that duty being given
the proper department or bureau.

ing tactics.
1T (the administration) acted with
swiftness," Mr.. Hughes said, and it
cannot now cry that a Republican can
didate 1000 miles away should have
saved 1t from carrying out it's fixed
determination"
Mr.. Hughes read to the convention
correspondence between Chairman
Newlands, of the Senate interstate
commerce committee; Harry A.
Wheeler, chairman of the committee
on railroad situation of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States, and
President Wilson-none of the letters
was from the President, but he was
addressed in the correSponoence-to
uphold his contention that 5000 firms
and corporations in the country had
asked the President to take action be-
fore the threatened strike situation
became acute. Mr.. Hughes also quoted
an extract from the Presidents ad-
dress to Congress on the subject to
support his claim that the bill should
not have been passed.
A question asked by Richard Olney.
Secretary Of State under President
Cleveland, as to why Mr.. Hughes had
not urged Republican senators to fill
buster against the bill was made the
occasion of Mr.. Hughes declaration.
He said
"A distinguished Democrat, a for
mer Secretary of State, Mr. Olney,
whom | have always admired and re-
spected. and whose record presents a
singular administration, springs to it's
defense in its hour of trial. With his
ability, l assume he has done the best
that can be done.
He said, referring to the recent
railroad situation, that 1 object not to
the averted strike. but to the mode of
its accomplishment, to wit: by the
threat of a strike within time too
short for due consideration of neces-
sary legislation. I am not prepared
to admit the necessity of wage in
creases by law. but do object in every
fiber of my being to legislation under
duress. I object to the surrender of
the executive to force. That is the
path of disaster. II the distinguished
ex-Secrctary of State desires to take
the nation along that path, will not
accompany him.

eight Republican senator's to filibuster

men which were a feature of the first
two years of his administration.
Through this medium he is expected
to discuss political subjects freely and
eXpound them for the country.
Soon after entering the White
House, the President inaugurated the
policy of seeing Washington corre-
spondents twice a week and submit
ting to a crossfire of questions on all
kinds of subjects from them.
When the foreign affairs of the gov
ernment became delicate because of
the European war, Mr.. Wilson stopped
the conferences. He now plans to see
newspapermen twice a week while at
Shadow Lawn.
