win the war with Wilson" Is the
rally cry Of the Democratic party plat
form that the Palmer-McCormick forces
at the Democratic State Committee con-
over the opposition of Judge Eugene c.
Bonniwell's adherents.
The battle over the temporary chair
manship of the State committee began
to take concrete form today, with pre-
dictions that Bonniwell would fail to
secure the election of one of his candi-
dates.
Lawrence H. Rupp, Of Allentown, who
has aspirations for judgeship in Lehlgh
County, and Parke H. Davis. of Easton,
were favorite names for the chairman
ship today, as incoming committeeman
rolled the total up to almost. the full
strength of the State committee.
Van Dyke Mentioned
Another name mentioned Is that of
Warren Van Dyke, secretary Of the
State committee. but Van Dyke pro-
fessed not to take ths suggestion seri-
ously. He expressed an opinion that
Rupp would be the successful candidate
to succeed Major George r. Mclean, of
wilkes-Barre, who, 1t is understood win
resign because OF his connection with the
Judge advocate generals office of the
War Department.
Rupp's undoubted strength is signif-
cant in face of notice served on him by
Bonniweil Democrats Of Lehigh County
thai he would get no support from them
in his contest for the judgeship. ....
The big siege guns. the heavy artil-
iery and the lighter field pieces Of the
Democratic party arrived last night.
Vance c. Mccormick, national chairman
Of the Democratic party, was among the
FIRST to reach here.
A. Mitchell Palmer, national COM
miteeman, was the next to arrive. He
wen. into conference at once at the SEN
ate Hotel, where he was Joined at 6
o'clock by Mccormick.
Joseph F. Guffey reached here at II

arrived at the hotel as the conference
was about to conclude.
Wet Issue Avoided
The platform prepared by the COM
mittee keeps assiduously away from the

close to Palmer and Mccormick, who
certainly have been consulted as each
plank was worked into shape.

1--WE can't see him stock We can't afford
to. He would do it for U.S." Thus spoke man
last evening in speaking of the anticipated pre-
dicament, due to the limited supply of labor. of
one of our popular cannerymen within the cor
porate limits. XTN
This man is expecting some twenty thousand
cases of empty salmon cans at a time when the
fish is running plentifully and hi cannery is al
ready short-handed. He cannot shut down, the
cannery for the salmon on hand will be wasted.
and the cans must be unloaded and stored with
not an idle man to be had.
Again the good will of the business men is
called into play and the key to the situation is
found, in that they have all agreed to spare one
or more men on that day in order to help

that George" would do it for them; and that is
enough George need not worry the work shall

WE MUST HELP OUR LOCAL HOSPITAL

Somehow the fact was whispered about the
last few days that our local hospital could not
be maintained on hot air alone; that something
yesterday morning several business men put
their heads together, took in the situation at a
glance, and 10 and behold something is going to
happen. We say that something is going to
happen because We know from pleasant expert
ence that when these men put their shoulders
to the wheel it turns.

is given whole heartedly, and as soon as the
pressing needs are removed, whatever that may
be, they forget what they have done and go on
about their business. Together they built the
town and together they'll keep it up; and with
them for leaders, we have all prospered That
is why we say something is going to happen and
the need of our local institution will be attended
to.
At this point we grasp the opportunity to
remind the people of their generosity in former
similar occasions; the generous support given
the Red Cross, for instance. There is no differ
ence between the work and the purpose of the
two institutions. A hospital in town like ours
is as essential and beneficial to the community
as the Red Cross association is to the needy on
the battle front land we cannot afford to neglect
it. This is presumably the view the business
men have taken of the proposition and they are
quite right Let us all put our hands in our
pockets and dig another dollar. The cause is
worthy of our best efforts

ed. 1t matters not who is affected, provided
assistance will relieve suffering, America will
help. There is no boundary line in charitable
acts with Americans. 1t is enough to know that
help is needed to relieve suffering humanity, it

and simple pro-Germanism which is not found

BURNED TODEATH
Were Alone In Home When Fire
Started with Awful Results

During the absence of the par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Sloan,
on Sunday afternoon last, their
two children, aged 6 years and one
and a-half months, respectively,
were burned to death, when their
dwelling, located four miles west
of Grantsville caught fire and was
entirely consumed.
The fire was discovered by boy
as he was passing by on a MOTOR
cycle who alarmed the neighbour
hood, but nothing could be done to
rescue the children or save the
house.
After the flames had subsidized
the remains of the children we're
found lying together and were re-
moved to the home of Mr.. c. A.
Beachy, from which the funeral
took place or Monday.
