''M'C[URE RING
FIGHTS FOR LIFE
Delaware County Political Or
ganization Finds Strong
Opposition for Primary
100000 JAIL is ONE ISSUE

Delaware county's old "McClurc
ring" is fighting hard for its political
existence.
Led by representative citizens of the
county and supported by Governor
Sproul, the Republican League group
is waging a determined fight against
all things labeled Mcclure.
The prime issue of the primary cleo
ton, on September 16, will be the
"old one of self government versus ring
control" the Peoples Association of
Delaware county warns the voters in a
campaign circular just issued.
Liquor has heretofore furnished the
means for the control of our county by
the Mcclure organization, but liquor is
finished as a political support and con
tracts are looked to, if the citizens
allow it, to continue the same organiza
tiOn CONTROL" says Franklin n. Brewer.
president of the association, and j. w.
Ziegler, secretary.
The high cost of living and n whole
circle. of vital questions have their root
there
The Big Question
"Shall we citizens think and know
and shape our own local, state and ma
tional life or shall we leave it sloth-
fully to group to manage for its own
interest?' they ask in the statement.
The statement attacks the Mcclure
ring for an alleged plan to erect Il
new county jail at cost Of S600,O00.
This, it is contended would be sheer
waste, as the number of prisoners in
the county Jail since the era Of prohibi
tion has been so small that the neces
sity of new Jail has been done away
with.
"We find in soliciting the votes OF
the men of Delaware county at the
coming primary these two principal
groups: The Mcclure group standing
for bossism as we have been accus
toned to it, and the Republican League
group'-supported by Governor Sproul
promising Il new manhood and nobler
public life and example for our county, "
the statement reads.
Success at the primary, the state
ment points out, would virtually mean
election in November.
List of Candidates
Candidates of the "McClure group

Ware SEES VICTORY
!. BY AT LEAST $4,000
Senator Claims $500 Patterson
Majority in 4eth Ward in Pre-
dieting Moore's Defeat
REGISTRATION IS "N0RMAL" "

Senator Ware predicted today that
Judge Patterson would be nominated
for the mayoralty by a majority OF
from $4,000 to 10000 over Congress
man Moore, the Independent candidate.
1t was the first claim made by the
organization leader in the mayoralty
campaign,
incidentally Senator Ware claims the
Forty sixth ward the banner Independ-
ent ward In West Philadelphia, will give
Judge Patterson $500 majority.
Independent leaders claim the ward
by 1000 majority, and estimate Con-
gresham Moore's majority in the city
at not less than So 900.
Thinks Registration Normal
Senator Ware contends that the regis
tration this year is not abnormal, as
compared with the 5000 registered
voters who were entitled to vote at the
spring primary last year, and charges
that the "Pcnrose- Moore crowd have
been trying to boost the registration fig
ures on false claims"
He says the increased registration
this year "is just about one half of the
returned soldier vote, or about so 600"
The Moore Republican campaign
committee said today it was significant
that the Ware figures indicate Judge
Patterson cannot hope to win by a
substantial majority over Congressman
Moore.
Ware Men Claim Twenty four Wards
Moore managers asserted that the
unprecedented public interest shown by
the heavy registration bore all the indi
cations of Moore landslide which
would run the majority up to $4,000 or
more.
Workers in the Ware organization
have it figured out that Judge Patterson
will carry twenty four wards. They
give eighteen wards to the congress
man. Six wards they class as 'neu-
trail"
These six wards. which the Ware men
regard as close and not yet ready to
yield to one side or the other, are :
Fifteenth. Twenty third, Twenty
eighth, Thirty first, Thirty eighth and
Forty third.

Liquor Dealers to Support Men Who

The liquor men are going to fight
for the election of men who vote for
us" asserted James ! Pearson, presi
dent of the Philadelphia Liquor Deal
crs' Association, last night following a
meeting of the executive board of tla
association.
One of the matters discussed was the
alleged unfairness of injecting wartime
prohibition into the question. so as to
defeat the provision in the amcdment
that gave ono year in which to dispose
of stock on hand.
The privilege of selling certificates of
liquor in bond, granted yesterday by
Attorney General Palmer. they agreed,
would relieve the situation very slightly.
because the purchasers of the certifi =
Gates will have very little time to dis
pose of the goods before constitutional
prohibition becomes effective.

Builded on love and with lovable Ben Alexander in the leading role, Turn In the Road" promises Columbia thea ter patrons one of the "out of the or dinary" film offerings. This will be the feature offering at the Columbia for four days starting Sunday, April 27.
 "The Turn in the Road" is the story of an all-conquering love how faith and love conquer fear and hate. There is a moral-and 8 very pretty one to this offering. but the play is far from being a sermon only insofar as it makes one happier because he has seen it.
 There are manythings about The Turn in the Road" that will appeal to you as a spectator, but which cannot be written. It is one of those stories that is beyond words of man, even as the Grand Canyon of Arizona offers picture no man can paint
 We'd like very much to tell you the many beautiful things about this pro- duction, but our sentiments fail to ma terialize into words; our thoughts are buried meath an avalanche of laughter and tears-the same emotions that you will experience when you view this film.

"Borrowed cIothesv At Columbia

"Borrowed Clothes" At Columbia
 Lois Weber, known throughout the United States as 'the Belasco of the screen" has added to her long list of notable screen successes in Borrowed Clothes" the charming photoplay in which Mrs. Charlie Chaplin (Mildred Harris) is now appearing at the Co., lumbia theater. This feature will be shown at the Columbia again today and Saturday.
 Miss Weber, as director, and Miss Harris, as star, form an imposing com bination that is said to be unexcelled in the realm of picturedom. In "Bor- rowed Clothes" Miss Weber has pro- duced story of a girls willingness to sacrifice happiness in order to gratify the social ambitions of her sister and advance the financial interests of her parents. An appealing story, inter rupted at intervals by incidents of a very thrilling nature, such as the de- struction of great beach bathing house by fire and the escape of Mary Kirk down the side of a great country mansion during a raid by the police, make Borrowed Clothes" an offering of more than usual merit.
 The augmenting numbers to the fea- ture include a Strand comedy and Hearst News weekly, both of which are up to the usual standard.
