By the Ex-Committeeman

State officials having decided that
the November election is a general
election for the choosing of officials
to be voted for by counties and
cities as units, immediate steps will
be taken at the Capitol to prepare a
list of nominees for such offices
which will be furnished to commits
sloners to take the votes of Pennsyl-
vanians in mobilization and training
camps. However, soldie ers will not be
restricted to voting for such nom
inees as the ballots will be in skeleton
FORM and names of any borough,
township, ward or precinct candi-
dates may be inserted
1t was definitely decided last night
that no effort would be made to take
the votes of Pennsylvania soldiers in
France as the State has never at
tempted to take votes of men in the
Regular Army or in the Navy in
other years and the difficulties at
tending such an effort now would
be very great. The original plan of
taxing votes where there were ten
men in an organization has been
abandoned. The commissioners will he
named to the training camps of the
National Guard, the mobilization
camps where drafted men from
pennsylvania are assembled and
probably the four officers training
camps.

Brown on this election and the ways

According to officials at the
State Department, there is no way
for an aspirant for judicial honors
to get on a ballot except by stickers.
The time for filing nomination papers
for candidates for county offices ex-
pires twenty-one days before the
election and for filing those of minor
offices, such as township and ward
expires fifteen days before an cleo

pHuADELPHIA's SHAME

graceful election day developments
and the unfolding of official conniv-
ance in murder and bloodshed have
aroused widespread indignation and
a vociferous demand for cleansing
of the temple of liberty.
Philadelphia is a great American
city, the birthplace of independence,
the altar of freedom. city which
has given the country many noble
and patriotic men and women, the
home of thousands of high-minded,
unselfish and generous people, Won
derful in its commercial and indus
trial development-in brief, me-
tropolis worthy an imperial common
wealth; but through neglect of the
ordinary obligations of citizenship
the home of the Liberty Bell. the
shrine of American independence,
has been overrun by those who would
destroy in this grave national crisis
the very bulwark of our institutions
the confidence of the people in
popular government.
The Telegraph has earnestly
pleaded with Republican leaders to
frown upon factional warfare and
we have reason to believe from let
ters and personal messages to the
editor that the rank and file of the
party in Pennsylvania is sick and
tired of the everlasting pickering in
Philadelphia which was the genesis
of the political tragedies that have
shocked the republic.
1t has always been the pleasure
of this newspaper to speak with
pride of the great City of Brotherly
Love-for it is a great city even in
the midst of its humiliation-and
out of this appalling tragedy must
como an awakening of the people
to the importance of cleansing the
fountain at its source. Not by over
turning one party and enthroning
another, not by favoring this or that
faction, but by choosing men for the
public service who will have no other
ambition than the promotion of the
welfare and happiness of the people.
There are many such men in every
city, but the manner of selecting pub
lie officials and the constant abuse
of these servants of the people have
contributed to a gradual breaking
down of that general interest in mu-
nicipal administration so essential to
efficiency and the achievement of
substantial results.
Philadelphia's present shame may
serve a useful purpose in arousing
all the municipalities OF the State to
their own conditions and to the Woe
full consequences of supine disregard
of the ordinary obligations of the
intelligent voter.
Harrisburg is not an exception and
in the next few weeks the people
of this community should endeavor
to acquaint themselves with the
qualifications of the several candf-
dates now in the field. so that on
election day they may cast their ball
lots intelligently and with view to
securing for the city the best oficials
available.

livered blow to the high prices OF
the middle man that has been gen.
orally beneficial.
Speaking of this accomplishment
before q meeting of bankers in At
lantic City recently. Charles L.
Pack (who says there is nothing in
a name?), president of the National
Emergency Food Garden Commits
sion. said:
You men do not have to be told
the need OF food +. o: & .: Ine
who can raise even half his winter
supply of vegetables can, as re-
suit, leave his savings account un-
touched He can buy a Liberty
Bond and he can keep his children
in school instead of at work. IN
other words, we must make DIG
drive to produce food as near the
points of greatest consumption as
possible, rout the middleman and
the cold storage man and help the
railroads in the tremendous trans
portation problem that confronts
them with the country at war.
If 20 per cent. of vegetable gar
deners failed, owing to inexperience'
to get good crop this year, mot
ten per cent. will fail next year.
People who did not plant this year
have been SO enthused with the
nationwide success of the gardening
and canning movement that they will
not be doing their duty to themselves
or to their country IL they do not
do their share in 1s1S-and they
will do it.
