Voters in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and
the adjacent towns are more interested
in mine-cave legislation than in any
other question.

ance of Congressman John n. X. Scott

nouncement of former Public Service

MAGEE COMES OUT
FOR J. DENNY O'NEIL
Pittsburgh's Ex.Mayor Re.
CARDS Revision of State Con-
stitution as Prime Issue
Pittsburgh, Nav 6.


EX-Mayor William 4. Maeee definite
ly aligned himself with the candidacy
OF !. Denny O'Neil for the Republican
nomination for Governor in speech
today at the O'Neil headquarters. He
promised the announcement with the
statement that that he was not in favor
of sumptuary legislation as illustrated by
the nrnpossd prohibition. amendment to
the Federal Constitution, but added that
since all the leading candidates for Gov
ernor' had declared for the Sheppard
measure, he was moved to give Mr.
O'Neil his earnest support because of
the latter's outspoken championship OF a
revision of the State Constitution. De-
veloping his idea, Mr. Magee said:
MIR. O'Neil not only favors canal
transportation and inland transportation
generally, good roads. a modern system
Of taxation, the advancement of agri-
culture and other measures for the pro-
motion of efficiency and the reduction
Of the high cost of living for our popu-
lation but he goes farther in that he
recognizes that all efforts to ameliorate
present political and economic condi-
tions in Pennsylvania are subject to
drastic changes in our fundamental law
the Constitution of the Commonwealth.
In this respect he differs from his op-
ponments. What is the use of talking
about and advocating internal water
transportation when the present Consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania specifically for
bids the investment of any of the pub
lie money by the State or by any county.
city or other municipality for purposes
of that kind? Why proclaim a policy OF
Statewide road Improvement knowing
that the annual revenues of the State
Treasury limit investment for this pur-
pose to comparatively small biennial ap-
propriations and that the present Con-
stitution absolutely forbids the creation
OF any state Indebtedness except TO re-
pei invasion?

There will be a Thanksgiving sing in
the High School auditorium next Tues
day night. Everyone is wanted 10 give
thanks for the safety Of the boys in
the service.
The Community Chorus was like old
times last night. The attendance was
good, enthusiasm waxed high, and an
excellent and spirited sing resulted. The
music was beautifully sung, and so
dramatically modulated that the singers
were thrilled by their own performance.
With so good a turnout on a stormy
night the outlook is now suspicious
for the customary big crowds at the
Community Tuesday night sings, all
held in the High School
After the favorite Nancy Lee" for
which Frederic Watson, the pianist re-
ceived the usual storm OF applause for
his lively accompaniment, the chorus
settled down TO a Christmas rehearsal.
Mr. Barnhart sang the "liallelujah
Chorus" as a solo, showing the lights
and shades of musical feeling needed
10 bring out the triumph, JOY and maj
esty of the great composition. The
chorus tried TO follow his Interpretation
with ever increasing success, at each
repetition. The choir leaders and mem
bers present got many helpful points
on the singing Of sacred music.
The second rehearsal number was the
favorite Gounod's unfold, Ye Portals
Everlasting"
Gaul's "Holy City" new number for
the Community Chorus, occupied the
last half hour OF the evening.
Mr.. Barnhart spoke on the real dem
ocracy that the boys have learned in
the trenches and will bring back with
them. He thought those at home need
ed more of this spirit Of brotherhood,
in order TO live up 10 the boys.
