Four Town-Meeting
Nominations Not Valid,
Judge Vessel Decides
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, Oct. 81. Judge
Vessel, in common pleas court, to-
day decided that four of the five
Town Meeting party councils NOM
nations in the Forty y-sixth ward are
invalid because the candidates had
been named by petition after they
had been legally nominated on the
ticket of the Washington party at
the primary election.
This decision, rendered in one of
the suits started by the Republican
city committee controlled by the
Ware faction, to have the names of
Town Meeting party candidates for
councils and minor ward offices re-
moved from the ballot, may have
a sweeping effect in view of the fact
that Il similar situation exists, as
far as the independents are con-
cerned. in other wards.
The effect of Judge Vessels de-
cison is that voters of the Forty
sixth ward. who want to vote the
complete Town Meeting ticket at
the election next Tuesday, will have
to make additional cross marks on
their ballots, besides the mark in
the party square, after the names of
four councilmanic candidates bear

many lost six million men in the
three years of war. according to q
declaration made in the Reichstag by
the Independent Socialist Ledebour
a report of his speech reaching
Washington through Switzerland
states that, contemplating the Sros-
poets of a fourth winter campaign
the Socialist leader said
You have not, evidently, gentle
men. an exact conception of what
war means. We have had 100000
dead, three or four million crippled
or whom 100000 are crippled for life
and two million absolutely invalided
That makes altogether six million
men lost during three years.
1t is stated that official informa-
tion confrmatory to these figures has
been in possession of American Off
Gals for some time.

LOCAL POLITICAL
SITUATION QUIET
Police Not Interested in Fight
For Mayor; Civil Service
Takes Them Out

The local election situation re-
mains remarkably quiet, with no
public meetings and only a limited
amount of personal campaigning in
evidence. Friends of Alderman How
erter expressed the belief to-day that
he is steadily gaining in strength for
Mayor and predict his election next
Tuesday The apparent yack of pub
lie interest in the election makes
forecasting difficult and in looking
about for cause for the prevailing
apathy on the part of the voters,
political observers have hit upon two
reasons--frst, the war, with its many
attendant activities, and second, the
removal of the police force from
politics.
Heretofore the whole police force
was stirred by the prospect of a new
Mayor. The police officers. from top
to bottom, were dependent upon the
Mayor for their reappointment, with
the result that each officer became
bitter partisan. Some promises of po-
lice changes have been made in the
present campaign, itsis said. but if
they have, they cannot be fulfilled
for the force is entirely under civil
service and a Mayor has no chance
of tearing it to pieces and building it
up as a personal political machine.
Orders have ben going out from
Capitol Hill for appointees to turn
in behalf of Daniel l.. Keister, for
Mayor. with varying results. Some
of the attaches have accepted in
structions and others have not. The
ponpartisan character of the contest
and the fact that both candidates are
Republicans, naturally has the effect
of dividing Capitol Hill employees in
their support, some being friends of
Keister and others of Hoverter. 1t
was rumored that some threats of
dismissal had been made against
those who declined to help Mr..
Keister, but officials say there is alb
solutely no truth in this and deny
that force is being used. However.
the matter has reached a stage
where it has become part and par
eel of the gossip of the campaign
and the outcome will be apparent
only the dsy after election, if then.
Keister, like Hoverter, has been
getting about q good deal, and like
the Alderman, says he is satisfied
with his observations.
There is nothing new in the coun-
ty. Every day it becomes more and
more apparent that the Republican
county ticket in both city and the
rural districts will go through by
big majorities. The straight party
ticket is going to have a mighty big
effect this year with Republicans
reaping the benefit.

The military value of fighting units
with historical records cannot be
overestimated. Tradition plays an i'm

serve the organization of their ia
