M'LAUGHLIN TO MAKE
INDEPENDENT FIGHT
Will Ask Aid From Neither Ware
Nor Penrose in Mayor
atty Race

Joseph S. MacLaughlin, director of
supplies, announced today that he will
open Headquarters in the Colonial Trust
Building, Thirteenth and Market streets,
to press his independent fight for the
mayoralty nomination. He added that
campaign committee would be at once
appointed.
Mr.. MacLaughlin said he would ask
nothing from the Ware or any other
organization, but would make his ap-
peal as "thc peoples candidate. This,
he said. would be his platform. He
expressed belief that he would be sup
ported by Philadelphia workingmen.
The director, who charges that Judge
Patterson is the Ware candidate and
Congressman Moore the Penrose candi-
date for Mayor. resents the refusal of
the committee of one hundred TO give
his claims consideration.
at is evident from the way the let
ter was received" said Director Mac
Laughlin. in commenting on the com
mittee's failure to act upon the letter
pledging his appearance before that
body, "that ] was given no serious con :
sidcration and that the candidacy of
Mr.. Moore was to bc indorsed.
81 think very sCant courtesy was
shown. 1t looks as if the whole thing
was preconccivpd.

NORTH RUSSIA BEGS
AMERICA FOR HELP
Inevitable Disaster Seen in
Withdrawal of Allied Forces
From ArchangeI
RECONSIDER DECISION, PLEA
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Aug. 12.-Appeals for
continued military and financial sup
port have been sent to the United States
and the allied governments by the pro-
visional government of the northern
region Of Russia at Archangel. The
appeals received today in Washington
are understood to be identical with those
forwarded to the other countries. Dis
aster would inevitably follow with
drawal of allied aid, the appeal stated.
'"The provisional government" said
the note, 'is responsible for the fate
Of the region which has confided in it
and which has so far borne with pa
tience all the wars burdens and is more
over bound before its own conscience and
before its own native land to contribute
its utmost to the reconstruction and
rcnascence of Russia.
''Thercfore. the provisional govern
mcnt of the northern region begs the
allied powers to weigh all the conse =
quences and again to examine the ad-
visibility of abandoning North Russia
and leaving it without financial and
military support.
THE provisional government is firm
in the belief that the allied powers will
issue from the present situation in ac-
cordance with the strong bonds with
which they bound themselves to Russia
during the titanic struggle for freedom
and high ideals just brought to a sue
cessful end by them"
