Munce Declares For
the Big Road Loan

r. l.. Munce one of the promi-
nent farmers and grangers of the
state and president of tho Pennsyl-
vania Good Roads Association. has
issued a statement summing up the
situation regarding the 50,000,000
bond issue for road improvements,
which comes before Pennsylvania
voters tomorrow. Mr.. Munce said:
Boiled down, the bond issue
proposition is simply this:
Pennsylvania voters are asked to
approve an amendment to the con-
stitution providing that the state
may issue bonds to a total of $780,
600, 200, the money to be used for
road improvements.
approval by the voters is only
the first step. The Legislature then
passes enabling legislation, setting
forth what amount of bonds will be
issued, when they shall be issued,
and how they will be issued. l do
not believe 1t possible that over $780,
100000 worth will be issued at any
one time.
mo bonds will be issued until
after the war. Work on the a
will begin after the war.
IL III the I6COlloli uCllOh PStiON
which follows the coming of peace
Pennsylvania labor is die for any
feason the state, if the bond issue
is approved, will have the money
with which to build roads and en-
ploy many thousands of men at good
wages.
The completion of the main-road
system in every county in the state,
t. 4E AIn A4rI fcuYfn 10 an
proved, will mean al end to fuel
famines such as gripped Pennsyl-
vania last winter. 1t will mean
cheaper farm produce, because far
mers are able to use the roads 365
nays a year, instead of only in good
weather. 1t will mean that loads
will be pulled over the highways,
instead of through them, as is the
case with our miles OF mudways.
Remember, too, that If this power
Il denied the state now, the question
cannot be again presented to the
voters until 1924 and that no bonds
could be issued until 1925 and
no road work done until 1927. Can
we AFFORD to wait nine more years
before the building of roads in
Pennsylvania?
''There is nothing political nor
partisan about the proposition. 1t
is aimed simply to build Pennsyl-
vania the best highway system in
America. The persons who oppose
the states going into debt for this
purpose might with as much reason
oppose the issuing of Liberty Bonds
by the United States government.
The road bond issue If 1t goes
through simply means that Pennsyl-
vania will ride on its roads and send
its trucks and wagons over the roads
while the roads are being paid for.
Every householder in Pennsylvania
every citizen who has his own In
terest at heart and who wishes to
lower the cost of his own living. will
vote to pull Rennsylvania out OF the
mud"

mic combined, have made campaign
ing impossible for the past six weeks.
1 was fearful of a light vote being
East in the state. The partisan ap-
peal of the President, however,
has aroused sufficient enthusiasm to
inspire our representatives to- double
their efforts in the closing hours of
the campaign. IL weather conditions
permit, I am satisfied that the ave-
rage gubernatorial vote will be cast
and in spite of, the many handicaps
that have stood in the way, Senator
Sproul and his running mates Will
receive the votes of all the Republi-
can and independent voters. / am
also we'll satisfied with the congress
sional situation and 1 think democ-
racy will have but small represen-
tation in Pennsylvania delegation
to the next Congress-"
Lieutenant Governor McClain's
statement Is as follows:
There is no office in all the land
higher than that of Governor of
Pennsylvania, except the presidency
of the United States. A big man
therefore should be elected to fill
it. A man who, in his intellect and
achievements, symbolizes the great
ness of the Commonwealth he seeks
to preside over.
THE Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania presents to the electors of
the Commonwealth next Tuesday for
election to the executive station, a
man who won't have to grow up to
the job, but instead, a man who is
full grown and sizes up from every
angle. Never has a candidate for the
office of governor in this or any
other state conducted his canvass in
q manner more betting the dignity
and importance of the gubernator-
iai station and in contrast with the
methods employed by his chief OPP
ponents, his conduct tells its own
story in a n more convincing
than mere words. he will be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority, be-
cause the people believe in him. They
know he has never been a trimmer
and as John Wanamaker has recent
ly and well said, William c. Sproul,
during his long public career, has
unfailingly kept the faith.p'".

boy IN HOSPITAL
ON KINGS VISIT
Cheerful Workers of Pine
Street Church Paid For the
Mountaineer's Education

In a recent newspaper article tell
ing of the visit of King George OF
England, at a big military hospital,
where a number of American pa
tients were convalescing, mention
was made of Roy Nancy, OF
Rutherford, n. c.. in whom many To-
cal people are interested. The story
of the young mans connection with
Harrisburg is an interesting one and
was given to-day by Miss Glen Gott-
schall, now with the local Associated
Aid Charities, for six years a worker
among the southern mountaineers
in the great Smoky Mountains OF
North Carolina.
A school had been established at
that place by the Presbyterian Board
of Home Missions and was attended
by both adults and children, many
of whom came from great distances.
One day, according to Miss Gott-
shall's story Roy Nanney arrived at
the school and applied for admission
He was q great awkward, over
grown boy but he soon showed tina
he was the ~possessor of more than
usual ability. At the time of his
arrival the lad could neither read

had passed he began to make sur
prising progress under Miss Gott-
schall's tutelage.

When Il letter arrived n day
from the Cheerful Workers Mission
airy Society of the Pine Street Pres
byterian Church of this city, offer
ing to pay the tuition for some boy
in the school, Roy was at once
chosen to receive the scholarship.
From that time on until his enlist
ment, his educational advancement
was rapid. When he, about a year
ago, entered the army he vas the
proud possessor of a good educa-
ton gained entirely through Harris
burg money and q Harrisburg girl.
Mr.. Nancy heard the call for men
and answered eagerly despite the
fact that his life in the mountains
had given him but little idea of the
outside world. He was injured in
the battle of Ypres and is at present
convaiescing in the hospital at Dart
ford, England.

Crow Forecasts a
Notable Victory

The statement of state Chairman
William e. Crow is as follows: "I
have received reports from political
workers and disinterested citizens
In every county in the state, and
based upon the figures furnished by
them I am confident that Senator
SprouI and the entire Republican
ticket will sweep the state with a
majority of at least 1000
The partisan appeal OF the Pres
ident has served to fan the flames of
Republicanism until they have de-
veIoped into a raging confiagration
that gives promise of sweeping
everything before It. Reports from

cratic stroughoids indicate a negli-

Chairman Forecasts
Big Beidleman Vote

I'VE have reports from every vot-
ing district in the county," said An
drew Redmond, chairman of Dau-
phin County Boosters Committee,
to-day, indicating the election of
Senator E. e. Beidleman as lieuten-
ant governor on the Republican
ticket by an overwhelming majority.
while the Presidents plea has
had the effect of uniting Republi-
cans to a degree that will make the
straight ticket more popular to-mor-
row than in recent years, Senator
Beidleman's vote will not be con-
fined to his party. Democrats by the
hundreds will vote for him, and it
is u belief that Senator Beidle-
mans majority in city and county
will be the largest given any candi-
date in many years.
"All that remains is for his friends
to use their best efforts to get out
the vote in his behalf. Interest is
widespread in his candidacy. Let
us at home make the majority over
whelming."
