PENNSYLVANIA Democrats.

As usual, the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vana are in condition most quarrelsome
and provocative of dissensions. with
numerous opportunities, in recent years,
of winning victory at the election, Penn
svlvpnia Democrats have frittcred away
fine chances by their senseless divisions,
and bv the evidently deliberate purpose
of some of their leaders to give assistance
tofho political enemy.
This year better things were hoped
for The Democratic state nominations
were made by popular primary, and
Judge Eugene G. Bonniwell of Philadel-
phia was nominated for governor, not
withstanding be was opposed by the
Democratic State machine, land by A.
Mitchell Palmer, Pennsylvania member
of the Democratic National Committee
But instead of acqulescing in the choice
of the Democratic voters, Palmer and
the State organization are in condition
of revolt They apparently are endeavor-
ing to defeat Bonniwcll, and State Senator
elect Sproul, the Pcnrosc Republican
candidate for governor, said to be close
personal friend of Palmers.
Various objections are urged against
Judge Bonniwcll, but tho fact remains
that he was the deliberate choice of the
Democratic voters, rs expressed at n
popular party primary. This being the
case. he seems to have n clear claim to
the active and undivided support OF the
State and national organizations OF the
Democratic party. 1t Is strange, indeed,
for member of the National Democratic
Committee to take the attitude that Palm
cr has assumed, especially at this time,
when conditions arc such that the Dem
ocrats might have a chance of success at
The election, even IN the hde-bound Re
publican State OF Pennsylvania, if they
were thoroughly united

Green grass shall grow for the children

Though my babes came 10 "A troubled

They had fondly hoped their U-boat cam

that they can scarcely contain Themselves

 all registrants raised no question oi such deferment.
 "The boards will do all that they possibly can, on their own initiative to reach just decision by complete examination of the questionnaires even where no claim is expressly made.
 Welcome And Need Aid Nevertheless, the boards will wei come and will need all the aid that can be furnished by the indication of claim made for a deferment.
 But who is to make that claim Ordinarily the registrant himself will
 indicate the claim on his questionnaire. But if through mistaken chivalry he should fail to do so, another may make it for him. In industry, agriculture,
 or other occupations this other per son will naturally be his employer or some other representative of Eis asso-
 ciated group
 "The employer in this system repre- sents the nation because in statutory phrase the maintenace of the military establishment or of the national i11- terest during the emergency, requires that some well advised third person st ould look after that national inter
 est which the registrant himself may
 not have sufficiently considered. Should Study Their Plants. General Crowder then asks employ CTS to study their plants and industry, to single out really indispensable indi- viduals and to study the conditions ot deferment as provided in the regula- tions, mentioning the possibility of na ability Of women workers" He dis cussed the figures of the last draft and said that the number of class 1 regis trants under it amounted to only per cent of the industrial population.
 These influences are therefore to be kept in mind by employers and others
 in weighing the question. whether the | best solution in the national interest is to ask for the deferment of indi- viduals or groups of men," he con- | tinued. Such deferments may as- sist the immediate situation in the particular establishment. but they merely force the army and navy to seek elsewhere for the same number | of men thus deferred.
 Need Is Imperative. | The needs of the military forces are | known and imperative, and any given quantity of deferments will ultimate | ly have to be made up by the deple- ton of some other occupation. Thus
 it becomes the employers duty to con-
 sider the larger aspects of deferment, in seeking that solution of his own
 problem which best eomports with the
 national interests
 Cessation of enlistments, General | Crowder said. will protect industry against irregular and uncomfortable sources of Arrangement and throw
 more responsibility upon the draft
 machinery, and he asked employers and industrial representatives to share I the responsibility with the boards. Wants Every Flag Flying. General Crowder today also issued
 a request to editors of morning news papers that they publish this legend
 on the first pages of their papers to- | morrow:
 Provost Marshal General Crowder
 says: I want every flag flying and
 every band playing on registration
