WOMAN CANDIDATE
FOR j. S. SENATOR
Mrs. Leah Cobb Marion, Prohi-
bition Nominee, Seeks Seat
Held by Penrose
reinforcement" THE ISSUE

Emporium, Pa, Oct. 31.-Candidates
are busily talking for and against the
League of Nations, declares Mrs. Leah
Cobb Marion, of this place, whose
name will appear on the official ballot
to be voted next Tuesday as the Pro-
hibition party's nominee for the United
States Senate. Aspirants for Office
charge and countercharge regarding
campaign funds and sundry other mat =
ters, she continues, and all the time
they are thinking wet or dry and
wondering whether they will be able to
continue dodging and maintain the bar
rage"
On prohibition platform, with zen. 4.
forcement Of the eighteenth amend
ment" as its cardinal plank. this Cam
eron county woman is conducting a cam
paign she frankly declares intended to
make an effective protest against Mr..
Penrose, the political boss and the
champio2 of the liquor interests Of
Pennsylvania.
Side issues, as she outlines them and
in which she appeals for support of the
women of the state and of every man
who desires new order of things" are
advancement of womanhood, protection
of home, establishment Of industrial
marts and equal and exact justice to
labor and capital.
Mrs. Marion. an attractive looking
woman, has been an active and ardent
advocate Of prohibition and of suffrage
during the years preceding the enact
ment of these amendments to the funda
mental law. Her name was printed on
the primary ballots last spring and her
nomination as the Prohibition candidate
for United States senator was followed
by an Endorsement by the Woman 3
Christian Temperance Union COnyention
held in Dubois, Cleartield county.
She was present at the convention
and made spirited speech in which she
one." but added that the party rulers
of the present day in Pennsylvania had
forfeited their right to the woman vote
and to complete victory when they
ignored prohibition and handed out the
Penrose slate. She expressed pro
found dissatisfaction" with the SEM
torial nominees of the two great par
ties, and asserted that this was reflected
all over the state.
Industrial peace, peace for the SOL
dier, world peace, are stressed by Mrs.
Marion in her plea for tire support of
the women of the state and all others
who believe with her that America
must put her house in order
Mrs. Marion il the daughter of Dan :
;el ii. Cobb, a New York educator. md
was a school teacher for five years prior
to her marriage in 1896.

C0NWELL DECLARES VETS
MISQU0TED HIS VIEWS
Is Strong for Prohibition, but This
Volstead Act Too Drastic

DR.. Russell II. Conwell, president, of
Temple University, and vice president of
the Pennsylvania Anti Saloon League,
today declared his statement on prohibi-
tion had been misquoted to further the
interests of John p. Bracken, of Pitts =
burgh. Bracken is running for Congress.
Supporters of Congressman II. Wall
tiers, of Johnstown, charged yesterday
that a pamphlet containing recent
statement by Doctor Conwell, was being
used by wet" interests to further
Bracken's candidacy for congressman
at large.
'My name has not only been used
without authority, but I was grossly
misquoted by the vets in this pamphlet

Doctor Conwell said today, at his home,
2020 North Broad street.
"a part of what / said in reference
to the Eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act was used by the liquor in :
terests, but the actual words used were
not mine, and they misconstrued my
meaning"
II did say that the Volstead act went
too far, and was reactionary. and that
ii served to defeat the purpose of the
Eighteenth amendment, and what said
at that time has come to pass. There
Is a reaction.

it prohibits the use of Misunderstanding
drinks like cider. 1t fails to define what
per cent of alcohol is really intoxicating.
To say that all drinks must be confined
to one.half Of one per cent alcoholic
content is ridiculous.

terms of financial loss from prevent
able deaths the work which the State
Department of Health is doing in
checking and gpreventing contagious
disease in every part of the State is
Of tremendous value. The IesSening
of the child death rate last year.
Commissioner Bristol feels, can justly
be attributed, in part at least, to the
york of the department and other
private and State social and health
organizations
Besides the financial loss. which is
a unique way in which to. estimate the
death rate of the State, there is the
tremendous suffering and sorrow
which all these unnecessary deaths
carry in their wake. Compared to
the financial loss through unnecessary
deaths is the 100000 appropriation
which Commissioner Bristol is asking
of the coming Legislature for the con-
tinuance and progress of health work
in Maine. In this one particular field
alone of lowering the death rate from
preventive causes, Commissioner
Bristol points out that health work
is worthy of the support of every citi-
zen. as well as a generous appropria-
ton for its maintenance.

upon the well established fact that at
least one third of the deaths in any
community are from preventable dis
eases of which all types of COM
municable diseases are an example,
In Maine during the past year
there We're 1923 deaths of which one
third. or 3639, might have been pre-
vented. Multiplying this number of
deaths by the $4,000, which Commits
sioner Bristol conservatively names
as a low price to put upon human
adult life, the startling financial fig
ure is attained.
Looking at the situation in Maine
from the angle of child life, statistics
filed here show 2547 deaths of chill
dren under 10 years of age for 1913
and 1878 such deaths for last year.
This shows saving of TIA child lives
in the past 12-month period, or esti-
mating child life at the economic
value Of $1,000, ii means STA 900 saved
to the State.

I'VE do not feel that the degree of
protection for either Of these cross
ings as given ct the present time
ought to be lessened. and the protec-
ton now being given at these cross
ings by the hagman and the gates is
in our opinion better protection than
would be afforded by automatic
signals at these points. This is es-
pecially true at the Upper Dam
Crossing, so called. where the noise
from the mill would in our opinion
neutralize to considerable extent at
least the effect of the warning bell
usually attached to the automatic
signal. After giving this matter care
full consideration we are of the opin-
ion that the prayer of the petitioner
