| sentiment that animated MS speech
es in the primary was indicated yes
terday in the address he made in his
home city of Chester. 1t will be re-
! called that the Senator said that
above party and individual this year
and next year and as long as the
war lasts, there must be national
service and while some people made
efforts to convert the campaign into
one of personalities it did not sue
ceed. Senator Sproul intends to make
number of speeches this month
| and before going on the stImping
tour being outlined for him. his ad-
dresses will be calls to the people
to back up the nation to the limit.
In speaking at Chester yesterday
the Senator said: Indeed it may
| of our people, for never since the
Man of Galilee trod the earth have
the principles of the religion which
| He taught and all the liberties of
mankind won since in blood and
suffering, been so dependent upon
the faith and courage and devotion
! of one people as they are to-day. The
unity of purpose, the willingness to
| sacrifice and the spirit of America
are to-day the very Ark of the
Covenant for religious liberty and
political freedom for mankind"
Senator Sproul drew inspiration
from the launching of the ships and
said: "A spirit such as America is
showing to-day is uncomfortable and
that a patriotism almost religious in
its fervor, coupled with a practical
fighting power, shown by our mil
lion defenders in arms 5000 miles
away-the most remarkable achieve
ment in the history of the world
the launching of 100 ships on the
national holiday, another world rec
ord, meant that the mighty forces of
right and justice as typified by the
American people through their gov
ernment. would bAng about a vic
tory for humanity, the most glorious
in all time"
Warren VanDyke, secretary of
the Democratic State Committee, is
on a pilgrimage into northeastern
counties of Pennsylvania in the
course of which he will visit State
Chairman George r. Mclean, at
Wilkes Barre, and go over prelimi-
naries relating to the campaign. Mr..
NanDyke took with him a number
of papers concerning the organiza-
ton of the state and il is expected
that a program will be sketched out
which will include tentative dates for
the meeting of the candidates to Sc
lect the campaign committee and the
session of the resolutions committee.
The silence of Judge Eugene c. Bon
niwell and his friends lately has been
puzzling the men at the windmill and
efforts to find out what the other
camp is doing have been going on.
while there have been some peace
emissaries fitting about. Indications
are that both meetings will be de-
ferred until we'll into August.
Enough nominating petitions to
take care of a dozen candidates for
the Supreme Court have been taken
out at the State Department by
friends of aspirants for the two seats
on the Supreme bench. The time for
filing such papers will not expire for
a number of weeks and 1t is believed
there will be marked activity. Sew
eral men having names with first let
ters in the first ten of the alphabet
have obtained papers, but whether
for themselves or friends was not
stated. 1t is very evident from the
demand for papers that some candi-
dates will endeavor to secure impress
sive lists of signatures.
The Pittsburgh Gazette-Times
in commenting upon the refusal of
Judge Thomas ]. Ford, of the Allie
gheny county courts, to allow at
! torneys to go into the Babcock eX-
pense accounts without filing a bill
| of particulars, says that the court
! blocked anglers" and showed that
! men who were simply fishing for
/ something to make capital out OF
| could not do so in his court. Z. K
/ Trent. one of the deputy attorneys
general, is prominent among coun-
| sci for Babcock opponents.
The ever interesting Philadel-
/ phia situation which can always fur
nish something in the way of a row
| or a court scene, furnishes the fol-
! lowing to-day in the language of the
/ Public Ledger: Ware men who are
anxious to see Granville S. Jefferson
| twice dismissed as an employe of the
| police bureau, reinstated as a po-
| liceboat pilot, spent their holiday
| thinking up alibis for his past mis-
! deeds and adventures, and the means
| of circumventing charter provisions
| and civil service regulations. 1t de-
veloped yesterday that any opposi-
| ton Captain Mills, actual head OF
! the police bureau, may entertain tC
! the reinstatement of Jefferson will
| be ineffective if il is decided to put
him back on a policeboat. for the
| simple reason that Captain Mills has
nothing to do with that branch oi
| the service"
