LAST WORD TO PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS


Der Of the state executive committee,

Cormick state leadership some time
ago. 1t was believed that he would
follow Palmer's orders and refuse to
support the regularly conducted can
didate, but he surprised even his fol-
lowers when he permitted his city
committee to endorse the municipal
court Judge.
Following the above is a men,

lieutenant governor, who, though
protesting to be a dry candidate,
now comes out 81 support of the

of the combined forces of PEN
roseism, Rum and Romanisrn should
not be allowed to fool Pennsylvania
voters. 1t is hardly probable that
the Catholic vote will 90 to Bonni-
well for Penrose and Rome both
feel that his election is impossible.
OF course if the apparently impos-
sible should happen and Bonniwell
be elected instead Of Sproul Pen
rose would still be in the saddle
with a man whom he can handle
thoroughly as easy as Mr.. Sproul.
But the object o. Penrose has been
to elect his owl party man, Mr..
Sproul, for the republican ticket,
is the logical and only ticket in
Pennsylvania for the perfect work.

That to our mind iaDthe crux
of the whole scheme for Bonniwell
is most certainly a lost hope and
cannot exist as a possibility in this
election, both because of his record
and the Palmer exposure. His only
field of usefulness to Penrose, Rum
and Rome in such contingency
can be as fence with which to
juggle for the benefit Of Sproul.
Papists realizing this are willing to
take a hand for it is to the decided
advantage Of the old church to de-
feat Fithian and since Bonniwell is
so nearly out of the race the thing
most important is to keep the drift
ing vote from going to Fithian.
That vote would elect Fithian and
is the secret Of all the political in
trigue that' Penrose has put across
in this campaign. The Importance
to Penroeism, to Rome. and to
Rum, Of weakening Fithian was
easily apparent in the attempt to
make it look as though the dry fed
Grafton were deserting Fithian and
going to support Sproul With evi-
dence so conclusive before them the
clean voters Of Pennsylvania should
have a SINGLE AIM and that TO
POLL EVERY VOTE POSSIBLE
FOR FITH1AN. No honest man,
no Christian man should put in an
idle moment between now and the
time the polls close on November
fifth. 1t is not enough to make up
your mind that YOU WILL VOTE
FOR FITHIAN. It is imperative
that you put in all your spare time
in an endeavor to see just how many
others you can talk to about the
situation and swing them into The
Fithian column.

Dry Federation's Fake

sent his proxy. Besides this proxy
and the federation superintendent
there were but five members of the

than half. Although the superin-

Kennedy's official Roman Catholic

49,302 parochial school pupils; but
the Roman Catholic press bureau in
Cleveland furnished The Plain Dealer
with the above information, which

The 49,SO2 given by Kennedy's d.

be sufficiently interested in this sam

This grossly false statement Of the

SHI fockihg to the support Of
N Fithian, the prohibition can
didate, Penrose has become alarmed
and chiefly through the Romanist
element in the democratic party is
trying to switch honest democrats
back to Bonniwell for he realizes
that unless he does SO Fithian is GO
ing to poll enough votes to keep
Sproul out of the state house.
The above statement is made
after a careful digest of recent ar
ticles appearing in the Pennsylvania
press. J. Mitchell Palmers ex-
posure of how Bonniwell came to
be candidate backed by the liquor
interests was a thing which Mr..
Penrose was very glad had come
about at first. He had visions of
the clean democratic vote shifting
to his candidate, Mr.. Sproul, but
when it became apparent that it
was not working out as he at first
thought the only thing to do was
to attempt to pull those democrats
back into line with their own
party. Since the largest body Of
leading henchmen that could be de-
pended upon to go the limit in the
effort to bring Bonniwell back into
the minds of democrats was to be
found among the papist element in
the party it is not surprising that
