So the counterfeiter has turned

a most vital cog in the bootleg ma

This type of counterfeiter now has
extended his operations, and Govern

duplicated in large numbers. Govern

devices. What appear to be regu-

withdrawal of supplies of whis1zey

the express purpose of getting out

The result of the participation of
the Pennsylvania women in a state

Some of Alters campaign man
ayers claimed for him a plurality of
not less than 100000, possibly $780,
900, and figured for him 10000
better than Pinchot in philadelphia;

and 10000 in the rest of the State.
Other Alter spokesman however, ex-
pressed the belief that these figures
were too high, but insisted that he

support of Ware and former Penrose
leaders in Pennsylvania would not

majority in the State would not be

several of the big Philadelphia wards
like the Twenty-second and Thirty
fourth, where the independent element
is large, would roll up a large Pinchot
vote and contribute heavily to keep

city The final day of the campaign
found both sides digging in and pre-
pairing for today's battle of ballots,
while the Alter spokesman declared
they expected to be confined to sixty
per cent. of the registered vote. They

taking over Shantung.
During the last few days the Chi

the settlement OF Shantung.

Japan's demands in the coming Chi

To meet the new problem created
by counterfeiting of Government per-

new system of using a specially-de-

has been given by duly constituted
officials.
Before liquor can be withdrawn
from wareh ouses it will be necessary
for State prohibition directors to use
g. peculiar form of verification blanks
before they confirm Withdrawal per-
nlits. No liquor can be Withdrawn
unless this particular kind of paper
is used and presented. Every pre-
caution will be taken to detect coun-

paper and the machine to be used
have agreed with Government author

use of these devices.
To thwart the counterfeiter of doc

specially designed will be issued in
future to physicians holding permits.
This is depended upon by officials to
close up a fruitful liquor source.
