CAMPS RETURNS
LACK RESULTS
OF VOTES TAKEN
Commissioners Get Few Bal
lots, With Heavy En-
pense Accounts

A few of the returns filed at the
department of the secretary of the
commonwealth by commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor to take the
votes of Pennsylvanians in military
or naval service do not contain any
statements of the candidates for
whom the men voted. The names
of the men voting are given, but
no statement of results.
In one instance a commissioner
reported fifty-nine soldiers voting
and stated that their names had been
sent to the twenty-nine counties
whence they hailed. but that there
was no record of the way they voted.
In another return names of thirty
of thirty-two men who voted were
filed here without any vote. Ofh-
cials here took statements from the
commissioners regarding the situa-
tion and are hoping that the returns
sent to counties may be found to con-
tain some figures.
Eighty-seven out of 126 commits
sioners have filed returns and eN-
pense accounts at 10 cents a mile.
In one or two instances IL is calcu-
lated that the votes cost the state of
PENNSYLVANIA $40 apiece, while in
the Salt Lake case. wherein the COM
missioner found all but two men
gone when he arrived, the state will
pay more for affording means to
vote. In all, men were sent TO log
places, Camps Lee. Meade and other
big stations having more than one
commissioner. The Camp Lee COM
missioners brought back the largest
vote. about 5000 out of $4,000 men
from Pennsylvania reported in that
cantonment.
Some of the return books do not
contain oaths of election officers,
some are without names of camps in
proper places and with other omis-
sions which officials here are en-
deavoring TO correct.
Somewhat of a chill was cast over
Republicans here when the returns
of about eighty commissioners TO the
bulk of the camps and stations were
canvassed for Congressional votes.
These returns were from the big
camps like Lee and Meade, and
showed these soldier votes regarding
candidates in Congressional districts
where contests are close: Tenth
Farr, "a; McLane, Sc; Eleventh.
Carpenter. II: Casey. III; sixteenth
-Lesher. 42; Duy, %. There are
forty commissioners TO report, but
the bulk of the big camps and sta
tions have been heard from. Just
what will be done about votes where
the returns are lacking or imperfect
is not known now.

CELEBRATION OF
PEACE TO HAVE
A DEEP MEANING

NIIH a great military victory
Wv and triumphant peace inn
pending, ii is the opinion of
many thoughtful people of Har-
rlsburS that any public demon
stration should e in harmony
with the ideals of the war and
the great causes which led the
United States to participate in the
conflict.
There is disposition too often
to make of these occasions a mere
1olliiication without meaning and
contrary to the spirit of serious
purpose underlying the alliance
Tor righteousness and liberty and
Justice. In premature celebra-
ton the other nig-.t upon a false
rumor of peace, there was mani
Test disposition to treat the
whole thing as a Halloween or
Mardi Gras festival might have
been treated.
The gre"t sacrifices of the war
have touched many homes, and
while there should be great Joy
and rejoicing over the termination
OF hostllities and the coming of
peace, there ought also TO be a
serious appreciation OF what has
been achieved and what the vic
tory means for the country and
the world.
The Telegraph believes that.
above all else, there should be a
recognition of God i'm appropri-
ate services in all the churches.
OF course, there should also be
great public demonstra ton in har-
mony with the ideals and purposes
of the war. But all mere carni-
val features should be eliminated.
Ii ought. in short. to be fine pa
triotic expression of the Joy of
the people along the line of sew
eral of the imposing demonstra-
tions which have marked the
progress of the war in Harrisburg.
There is no nee oessity for any
hasty celebration. 1t ought to
follow quickly. of course. after
the declaration of peace, but
whatever is done should be done
after some thought as to the char
acter of the celebration and the
proper Arrangement of details
II would seem that even now
Mayor Keister might call into
conference the chairman of the
Committee of National Defense
and others who have been promi-
nent in the war activities men
and women-with q view TO out
lining a program to the end that
there may be no celebration that
will reflect adversely upon a COM
munity that has acquitted itself
so admirably throughout the war.

Boston is the only large city in
the country IN which there still re-

increase to cents has been under
consideration for some time. Largely
increased operating expenses and the
jumping price of print paper have
made the 1-cent paper impossible.
