WARN VOTERS AGAINST
'LAST-MINUTE' CARD
Independents Admonish Citi-
zens Not to Be Duped by
Ware 'Trickery'

Prominent Independents of Philadel-
phia here issued an appeal headed ITO
Every Independent Voter in the City Of
Philadelphia" which contained q
warning against the possibility of a
Ware last minute" card.
The appeal is signed by John G.
Winston, George D. Porter. Charles
F. Jenkins, Franklin s. E~dmonds,
Francis B. Reeves. George W. Coles,
Morris Llewellyn Cooke. W. r. Mich
olson. George Woodward and Powell
Evans.
It says:
The very important primary cleo
ton fight is nearing its close, and as
each succeeding day goes by, the cause
that we have been fighting for these
many years grows stronger. Victory
surely is about to be ours.
DO not let them talk you into stay
ing away from the polls. Do not let
them fool you with tales Of another
ticket for the final election. There is
only one fight and that is in the pri-
maries. September IS. All talk of an
other ticket Is manufactured by the
Wares TO keep you from coming to the
polls of primary day.
They will in all probability try a
last minute card That's their game
to make charges when it is too late to
prove their falsity. And, above all
do o be fooled by the Ware talk that
this is a fight between Penrose and
Ware. That is not the truth. This is
o fight between the Independents and
the Wares. 1t was the Independents
that asked Moore to run. 1t was to
the Independent committee of one hun
drcd that Moore reported his decision
to become a candidate. Senator Pen
rose had his own choice, but gave in
to the selection of tho Independents,
maintaining that he wanted to sup
port whoever the Independents nomi
mated"

BRITISH CABINET
CRISIS IMMINENT
Election Of Arthur Henderson
to Commons Severe Blow
to Government
BY the Associated Press

London, Sept. 13.-The result of the
by election of Widues, Lancaster, in
which Arthur Henderson. the labor
leader, vas elected to the House of
Commons. is considered a severe blow
revived speculation as to the immi-
hence Of another general election.
The virtually unanimous vote of the
Trades Union Congress at Glasgow for
the naturalization of mines and the
vote on the subject of withdrawing
British troops from Russia are re-
garded as evidence of a very determined
attitude on the part Of labor against
the government.
1t is pointed out that there are sus-
picions as to the governments inten-
ton and that the Glasgow congress de-
clined clearly to condemn the policy
of direct action, but only s~tratcgically
sidetracked the decision.
Added to difficulties in the field of
labor is the Irish question which seems
impossible for the coalition government
to satisfactorily solve. On all sides the
consensus of opinion i~nclines to the
view that another appeal to the coun-
try cannot be long delayed.
Arthur Henderson, in an interview
said his victory vas IAN emphatic con .
domination of the coalition govern
ment's policy and of the cynical politi-
cal compromise upon which the govern
ment rests"
Il believe" he continued, that the
origin of the demand for a policy OF
direct action lies in the fact that the
present parliament is dominated by re
dictionary influences. This has involved
the country in proceedings which are
the negstion Of democracy.
"It is shown in developments il
Russia, Hungary and near home. il
Ireland where the situation is obviously
grave

ware AND SPROUL
ARE NEAR BREAK
Relations Between Governor
and Contractor Depends Upon
L.atter's Stand on Judgeships
SITUATION IS SERI0 S

Harmonious relations between Gov
ernor Sproul and the Wares it was
learned today, will depend largely on
whether or not re-controlled wards
are turned in against Judge McCullen
and Henderson as candidates for re-
election to the Common Pleas and Or
phsns' Court respectively.
Both of these jurists are candidates
whom the Governor has Endorsed aud
neither, it is known, is in good favor
with the Wares.
This situation is regarded as so seri-
Gus that there is talk of 4 break be-
tween the Wares and the Governor. an
event which would have marked effect
on state politics and the campaign of
next year, to say nothing of tho effect
on the disposal Of state patronage.
Ware Attitude Not Shown
Sample ballots distributed to Ware
workers contained no marks opposite
the names of candidates for the judici-
airy. Whatever the real Ware attitude
Is, therefore, may not be disclosed until
secret orders are given effect on pri-
mary day.
On the other hand. the sample bal
lots distributed by the Republican Al
lance, which is supporting Congress
man Moore are marked in favor of
Judges McCullen and Henderson.
William c. Wilson, a fox hunting
z. friend Of John r. X. Scott, is alleged
to be the real Ware choice for the seat
now held by Judge Henderson. Judge
Eugene c. Bonniwell. Of the Municipal
Court is spoken Of in the same way
for the seat now held by Judge No
. Cullen, in Court Of Common Pleas
; No. 4.
In some quarters there is a suggps-
ton that the Ware leaders are maneu-
yering with these candidates for the
judiciary in the hope of winning Gov
ernor Sproul to an Endorsement of
Judge Patterson.
The Governor, however, has an
nounced that he will take no hand in
the mayoralty situation in this city,
and that he would look with disfavor
on attempts 70 ~''iuggle with tho ju.

6enunciation of contractor rule in Del
aware county did not please the Ware
workers. They thought it struck too
near home.
The fact that sample ballots for Ware
workers were not marked, as to the
candidates for the judiciary, was taken
to mean that the Wares have been
forced 70 consider the opposition Of
ward leaders tavoring Judge Patter-
son who will not oppose the Governors
selections for the judiciary. Among
these were listed City Solicitor Con-
nelly, of the Eleventh ward Charles
81 Seger, Seventh; William McCoach,
Thirtieth and Senator Patton, of the
Twenty seventh. The venerable David
II. Lane and Senator Martin are re-
garded as more disposed to support
the Governors friends than to knife"
Judges McCullen and Henderson.
The word from Harrisburg is that the
Governor will study most closely the
returns from so-called Ware wards in
the matter Of candidates for the judi
ciary.
