pends on The War Department. 1t
is the intention to send them to
camps in the United States.
The Philadelphia Inquirer gives
this interesting sidelight on Senator
Sproul:
Members of the Wild Life
League, the United States Sports
mems Association and kindred or
! CARNATIONS throughout Pennsylvania
are taking keen interest in the
candidacy Of Senator William C.
! Sproul, the Republican nominee for
| Governor, by reason. of the fact that
in addition to his being recognized as
! the leader OF the good roads move
| ment he has been a consistent and
| sturdy advocate of legislation calcu-
| lated to conserve the natural re-
sources of the Commonwealth and
to promote the propagation of game
IN every form. He has been m
! tring at Harrisburg in support Of
! legislation designed to extend the
! game preserves owned or controlled
! by the state, in promoting the devel-
! opment and expansion of forests,
| the restocking of all streams with
: tsh, ohampioning the restriction OF
! hunting or fishing when it has been
! deemed advisable to extend the clos
! ed seasons, and in strengthening of
powers of tho fish wardens and game
! protectors to meet evils which have
| been encountered from time to
! time"
Pittsburgh Republicans evident
! ly do not intend to be caught nap
ping in the general slump in regis
tration. Meetings are being held by
Chairman Charles II. Kline at which
all party workers are being urged to
speed up registration affairs Satur-
day is the last day and the Pitts
purgh organization seems to be very
much on the job.
Increases of pay asked of Phil
adelphia city councils now amount
to over $2,00O,000 and the Philadel-
! phla Record says that with these de
| mands and the chances that Phila-
delphias will lose S1,900,000 in liquor
licenses when things go dry" the
! proposed decrease in the tax rate is
"a dead ISSUE"
Senator Sproul is spending to-
day on some automobile visits, but
is not making any political speeches.
He is talking Liberty Loan now.
THE Republicans are going to
win all along the line this year and
the state ticket is going to have
fine majority, but the Republicans of
! Pennsylvania should not take any,
thing for granted. They must get
out on the firing line and help
roll up the vote" said State Chair
man William e. Crow on his visit
| here yesterday. The situation looks
very well, but the greatest danger to
nice situations is always overconfi-
dence. We intend to get out every
Republican vote and l am going to
call on every member of the State
| Committee to keep that in mind"
| The pleasant state of affairs in
the Pennsylvania Democracy, reor-
| ganiZed at so much expense and
widely advertised in the last few
years in this city, is illustrated by
the following extract from the Demo-
cratic Philadelphia Records account
of the meeting of officers of the State
Firemen's Association at Philadel-
phia yesterday: MIR. Palmer was
lNtUOunCtl tlS a. SldllhtItI anu JuuSe
| Bonniwell was eXonerated of all
charges associating him with an at
tempt to procure the support of the
states firefghters for Senator Will
liaf G. Sproul. The leaders of the
association even went further and
declared that Judge Bonniwell has
never permitted party politics to en-
ter into the activities of the body
and the members are asked to re-
sent the condemnation by Palmer
so that proper action may be taken
to chastise men who sseek to vilify
the big outstanding men of out great
state who at all times make sacri-
fees for their country, state and
communities.
AS the State Firemen have aban-
doned their convention this year the
officers and big chiefs met in Phila-
delphia yesterday and elected Bonni-
we'll president again.
