MCCORMICK MAYLUR
PENNSYLVANIA MOOSE
TO VOTE FOR WILSON
Editorial in North American
Arouses Suspicion of Attempt
to Throw Washington Party
to Democrats
HUGHES COURSE AssA1LED

An editorial published In today's issue of
the North American, the Progressive organ
IN this city, under the caption The EN-
oarrassment of Mr.. Hughes" gave rise to
widespread speculation In political circles
az to whether the position of the North
American might mean an attempt to throw
the Washington party vote In this city to
president Wilson and the Democratic ticket
Instead of to Mr.. Hughes.
In this connection II was pointed out that
vance c. Mccormick had been named to
conduct Mr., Wilson's campaign In the last
gubernatorial campaign in Pennsylvania the
Progressives nominated William Draper
Lewis, of the University of Pennsylvania
10 lead their standard, and later, after a
series of conferences with the Democrats
Mr.. Lewis withdrew in favor of Mr.. Nc.
Cormlck The Democratic nominee was
then given the strongest support by the Pro.
gressive leaders, and late In the campaign
Colonel Roosevelt made a whirlwind tour of
the State, speaking In his interest as we'll
as that OF the rest of the ticket
The washington party men In this city
and throughout the State, II was declared
therefore, might logically be expected to
follow Mr.. Mccormick in the presidential
campaign and throw their vote to President
Wilson.
Considerable color is lent to the r,imor
of an alliance between the Democrats and
the Progressives by the efforts of the leaders
IN the Democratic Convention at st. Louis
to frame platform which will be acceptable
to the Progressives. While the platform will
not include such radical legislation as the
initiative, referendum and recall 1t is likely
that 1t will contain certain planks which
have been indorsed by the Progressives.
The editorial in the North American
scores Mr.. Hughes for his failure to make
1t clear to the American people that Ameri.
canism is his overshadowlng ideal, and
points out that the German-American hy-
phenated element in the country is jubilant
over his nomination.
e. A Van Valkenburg. editor of the
North American, and one of the State Pro-
gressive leaders. when asked regarding the
Significance of the editorial, denied that It
had any political meaning.
1.-THE editorial" he said, "is merely a
plain discussion of facts. What Progress
sives will do no one will know until the
National Committee meets in Chicago on
June 26."

PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC
TO ERECT AN IMMENSE
PLANT AT CHESTER
Purchases Plot of % Acres on
the Delaware River From Ma
tional Tube Com
pany
LARGEST IN THE COUNTRY

The Philadelphia Electric Company has
Just completed the purchase of % acres at
Chester, Pa, on which II proposes TO erect
what will likely be, when completed, the
largest and most modern power plant in the
world.
The site was purchased from the National
Tube Company, a subsidiary of the United
States Steel Corporation. 1t is located In
South Chester, on the Delaware River, be-
tween the plants of the Delaware Steel
Company and the Seaboard Steel Company.
T. woodward Trainer, the secretary of
the Chester Chamber of Commerce, who
was largely instrumental In bringing about
the sale, says the negotiations were COM
pleted about 10 days ago and that the
Philadelphia Electric Company's engineers
and men are at present on the ground ar
ranging for the erection Of the huge plant.
The negotiations, he said, were In progress
for fully two months before they were con-
cuded. The National Tube Company had
never erected any plant on the ground, so
the work will not be impeded by costly re-
movals and can be begun at once
Mr.. Trainer says the erection of the new
structure will give employment to from 500
to 700 men. and the completed plant will
probably employ about 400 hlgh-grade men
permanently.
AT the executive Offices of the Philadel-
phia Electric Company, 10th and Chestnut
streets, A. v. r. Coo. the secretary Of the
company, acknowledged hne puECHhse, puL
said all the arrangements were not quite
complete as yet. Its intention, he said,
was to erect a plant on the site and to in
crease its size from time to time by the ad-
dition of large units somewhat similar to
the most recent unit which It added to It's
plant at 22d and Christian streets, which Is
the largest in America, II not In the world
The Philadelphia Electric Company, Mr..
Coe explained, is merely holding" COM
paRy for subsidiary companies which II
controls, the principal Of which are the
Beacon Light Company, of Chester. which
supplies light and power to Chester. and the
Delaware County Electric Company. The
new plant said Mr.. Coe, will be a part of
the Beacon Company. All the plants will be
connected and will work in harmony with
each other
Besides supplying light and power to
Philadelphia and suburbs, including Ches-
ter, the Philadelphia Electric Company has
contracts to supply power for long term
of years to the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company and also to supply the necessary
current for the electric lines Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad between Broad Street
Station and Paoli.
