 "ghe lsreat=ernrire state now has Deprocfatic governor,'9r. Mayor Moore said. '.So" have New Jefsey, Ohio.

And this on the eastern front where Repuiblicanism hitherto has been, regarded as impregnable.
 We cannot afford to further weaken this Republican stronghold. The se- lection of an eastern candidate there fore becomes a matter of importance"
 Accounting Pennsylvania's his tory, Mr., Moore said that "as it was the keystone of the arch in the be- ginning of this republic, so. is it the keystone of the arch today"
 Pennsylvania has been the bull wark of Republicanism, the anchor of our OeSLlny-- ln- every ndtlOndl CdIn- paign," he said. 'In all fairness, the time has come-when a candidate of the Republican party qualified to be president of the United States should hail from Pennsylvania. We know we have the man.
 Tn common with her sister states Pennsylvania seeks the overthrow of this seven years blight that has shock ed our American institutions and bur dened our people.
 "Pennsylvania realizes that a strong man is needed and it presents a candidate who is in good health; j; who Is physically fit; who mixes with the people and knows their hopes and ambitions.".
 Mayor Moore said Governor Sproul was known as ."the father of good roads," He told of the many laws that had been simplified since the governor entered office and referred to the governor as "modern Me Kinley.. whose election to the presi- dency would assure the country of an early and sane resumption of nor nal business. 7'H 1- 'f

coy. SPR0UL IS
 BUSINESS MAN
Been in Service of Pennsyl-
 vania For % Years.

Governor William q. sproul, of Pennsylvania. Ia a. business man who has regarded 1t as a duty to devote time and energy to politics and public service. Although he Is still on the sunny ctde Of 90, Governor sproul ha performed public service for g years in. the Senate of Pennsylvania before he was elected Governor.
 The Sprouts have been iron masters in Pennsylvania for several genera dons. They are of Scotch Irish stock William c. Sproul was born at An drews Bridge. in Colerain Township, Lancaster County, on September 16 1870. At Swarthmore College, he and Attorney-General Palmer were room mates and classmates.
 MT. Sproul married in 1892 Emeline shipbui1der of Chester. They have two children, Dorothy, widow of Cap tain Henry J. Klaer; and John Roach Sproul, who served in the world war with the Fourth Infantry and won five battle stars.
  vania Senate in 1897 MT. Sprou1 was chosen it's president pro tempore in 1903 and 1905. While calling himself regular Republican, he did not join the majority of his party in. support of many measures sponsored by it's lead CTS.
 Perhaps the most notable feature of his legislative service, was his devel- <f sylvania and his attention to educa- tional and financial reforms. Through out the rural districts the state high ways are called "Sproul Roads" MT. Sproul was strongly urged to be candidate for the governorship in 1910 and again in 1914, but he declined to be a candidate, saying that he had not cooked his hay up yet and that he would be a candidate when the proper time came. Besides his varied busi- ness interests Sproul is a farmer upon a large scale. Personal and political friends say, He can talk to the peo- pie in their own language"
 MT. Sprou1 was nominated for gov ernor by a majority of 205, ,000 over his opponent, J. Denny O'Neil, who was banked by the administration of his predecessor, Governor BrumJbaugh; his majority at the last general cleo 
 ever given to candidate for governor in Pennsylvania. His administration has been credited with vision and constructive policy. Through personal and political associations he was able to call to his side men of ability and attainment. Senator Knox said: Sprouts cabinet is composed of men who are fully of national cabinet size" Close attention vas given to organiza ton of the departments along business lines.
 Governor Sproul has been his own political leader, and the old Republi- can organization in the state while working in harmony with him does not attempt or claim any direction of the governors policies or appoint ments. He has not agreed with Sem ator Penrose on many matters nor with the organization in Pittsburgh and philadelphia He took the posi- ton that he would not be a favorite son nor allow the power and influence of the state to be used at the Chicago convention.

ART AND SCIENCE IN TOYS
to the Proper Conduct OF
Their Society.

w H1LE the making Of toys is an
w art that is probably practically
as old as the world itself, it has been
only within recent years that science
has bothered itself about them. Less
than half century ago they were re-
garded merely as playthings-amus-
ing diversions for children that were
by no means necessary to their we'll
being. Today, however, science insists
that there is a well-defined philosophy
underlying the use of toys; that they
are the tools with which the little ones
ply their trade; the paraphernalia nee
essary to the proper conduct Of their
society; that dolls, for example, are
pore to them than the associates that
help to entertain them in that they
aid them in the attainment of their
mental growth by stimulating the
natural emotions which must be ex-
perienced in later life.
Whether this theory of the scientists
Is correct or not, the fact remains that
children have always had the play.
things requisite for their limitations OF
the domestic life and business affairs
of older people; that they have always
required their elders to provide them
with such inventions, and that, when
they could not obtain these toys by
any other means they themselves have
sought and found objects that might
be made to suit their purposes. Even
the somnOlent middle Ages did not put
an end to their pastimes. The toys In
which they found diversion may have
been more simple, but, as they met

An Ancient Christmas Dish.

ancient times was "frumenty" or
"frumante" Here is the recipe for

and bray it in a mortar until the hulls
be all gone off, and seethe it until it
burst, and take it up and let it cool !;
and take clean. fresh broth and sweet
milk of almonds or sweet milk of kline
and temper it all; and take the yOlks
of eggs. Boil it a little and set it
down and mess it forth with fat veni-

often served alone without venisOn or
mutton. When served by itself it was
well sweetened.

Traditions of Christmas Festival,

Traditions of Christmas Festival.
In the records of every nation we
find traditions Of the Christmas festi-
val, traditions which have been hand
ed down from generation to genera
ton In oft-told tales which thrilled
the hearts of the listeners with al
ternate fear and delight. Sir Walter
Scott tells us that they who are born
upon Christmas or Good Friday will
see spirits, and will have the power
of commanding them. He also adds
that the Spaniards imputed the down
cast looks of their monarch, Philip
II, to the disagreeable visions to which
this privilege subjected him.

sufferers realize this?
Most of them continually dose them
selves with so-called laxative pills, -
