Second Round of
Democratic Row
Staged For Saturday

Another round in the big Demo
cratic shindy will take place in this
city tomorrow when the Palmer
Mccormick Iingmasters will give an
other exhibition of how to boss a
political organization. The success
ful candidate of the party for gov
ernor has declined to appear before
the committee and purge himself OF
contempt in refusing to heed the call
OF the bosses to humble himself in
the dust. His singing arraignment
or Palmer and Mccormick has
aroused Democrats everywhere and
try as they may to belittle him, Judge
Bonniwell seems determined to make
his counteroffensive a real drive.
BonniwelIs accusations against
both Palmer and Mccormick are of
such a character as to have aroused
tremendous interest, especially his
accusations of political crookedness,
violations of the corrupt practices
act and boodling of the voters. Also
among Democrats here and else
where the charge that both Palmer
and Mccormick have never support
ed Democratic candidates save those
OF their own choosing is causing the
bosses all kinds of trouble.
Assertion was made by Judge Bon
niwell that Palmer and Mccormick,
had they lost the gubernatorial nomi-
tion in 1914, were ready to bolt the
nomination of Michael ]. Ryan.

FALLING DOWN
Several Barrels Total of Days
Collection; Greater Re-
suits Expected

Although several barrels of old
rubber were collected. from residents
of the borough by the Steelton Red
Cross chapter at its depot at the
Lawn playground, the campaign has
failed to achieve the results desired.
Mrs. S. Fliney, secretary of the
Steelton chapter said that If each
family in the borough would con-
tribute but one pound of rubber,
there would have been twenty-five
barrels filled yesterday instead Of
three. Every family" continued
Mrs. Hiney, could easily supply tnat
amount. A couple feet of garden
hose, three pairs of old rubbers, n
bicycle tire, or better, an old one
from 'autom obile, such things are
lying aroun1 every house.
Now is q good time to do a little
reading up, and help the Red Cross
at the same time, for if Steelton
housewives begin to explore their
garrets and cellars. I know that we
will get a big amount"
To-day and tomorrow. the chapter
will put it's rubber in a pile on the
playground, much like the scheme
used in Harrisburg. Watch the Pile
Crow has been adopted as the cam
paign slogan, and there will be uni
formed Red Cross workers stationed
along the Front. street side of the
playground to remind passerspy that
there is still time to help bounce the

Government Turns
Down Road Work

More road projects. located in six
counties, have been disapproved by
the United States Highways Coun-
ell, as nonessential at this time, ac-
cording to a statement issued to-day
by the State Highway Department
The disapproved projects are To-
Gated as follows: Holiday sburg bor-
ough, Blair county; Philipsburg, Cen
tire county; Elkland borough. Tioga
county; st. Mary's borough, Elk
county; North Annville township,
Lebanon county, and Pennington
township, Warren county.
At the opening of September s, no
bids were received for proposed road
improvement in North Annville town
ship, Lebanon county, and for Farm
ington township, Warren county; but
since these projects have met with
the disapproval of the United States
Highways Council, no further con-
sideration can be given to them at
this time, and the local authorities
so have been notified by the State
Highway Department.
The st. Mary's borough authorities
were unwilling to proceed with the
road improvement planned, at the
price bid. consequently. the State
Highway Department would have re-
jected the bid which was received
on August 80 for this work.
