MRS. LoRIMER PREsIoEs

Education should be kept out of par .

dress before the Republican woman's q
Club, 219 South Seventeenth street.
A nor. partisan commission of able
persons should be named IL there is
anything wrong with the educational
system Of Pennsylvania, he asserted.
He was optimistic over the influence
women voters will exert on moral and
educational problems.
Education IL q matter altogether
too vitally concerned with the lives Of

do It's utmost to keep education out Of
party politics and to endeavor to make
clear to the people that education Is
the concern Of the entire Commonwealth b
and Of every individual thereof, re-.
sardless Of what their party affiliations
"If It is your intention to support
candidates for ONCE in the interest OF
schools ! hope you will support those
who stand for this principle.
The rapid progress that public edu-
cation has made In the last few years
has been due to the fact that the peo.
pie as q whole have come to recognize
that education is a subject above the
ordinary partisan contests for control.
Peuns. Has Made Rapid Strides
During the last few years Pennsyl.
vania has made some rapid strides in
the progress Of its public schools.
The eyes Of the Nation are on our
schools, are on our State. We cannot
afford to take q backward step. When
the States are again compared as to
educa ational standing as they were by
DR.. Ayers, director Of the Russell Sage
Foundation. few years ago, let us
hope that instead Of being in the middle
Of the list Pennsylvania will rank edu.
cationally with where her wealth and
prestige requireA-that 10, brought up
to the head Of the list.
''It is quite right that women should
have equal voice with the men in deter.
mining these matters. Women are
conscientious In the discharge Of their
political duties, especially when they
have become informed az to how best
to discharge these duties.
Il especially look forward to a better
handling Of moral and educational prob
lens when the influence of women voters
becomes fully operative. as women are
by nature the conservators Of moral
standards.
"If there is anything wrong with the
educational system of this State let It
be settled by a non partisan commits.

cially for that purpose, rather than be
settled on party lines at the polls"

BELLS CHANCES HELD SLIM

Governor sproul began q series o.
conferences today to bring about nar.
mony, or semblance Of harmony, on
the State ticket.
It is believed he would like to see
a ticket made up, so far MS the chiei
Offices are concerned. as follows:
Senator George Wharton Pepper and
Major David A. Reed for the Senate,
George q. Alter, Attorney General
for Governor.
This ticket, Of course. would blow

millionaire, to succeed Senator Grow 70

The Governor, Il 10 understood. con

candidacy would throw the Fisher forces
into further confusion. The. CONFUSION

The Reed declaration against the

the limelight as the probable appointee
to succeed Senator Grow should the lat.

that the Governor would not even ap-
point Bell for the brief ad interim term.
His age and the recent stories OF al.
legged financial deals are believed to have
definitely put him out of the running
30 far as the Governor n concerned.
Senator Ware continues to insist that
Mackey is the leading candidate for
Governor. He, however, 10 believed to
be greatly impressed by the opposition
of such leaders as '"Tom" Cunningham
to the Mackey candidacy. Coroner
Knight, another Ware leader, however,
after a conference with Senator Ware
this morning, hotly declared for
Mackey. He said the leaders would
be foolish to agree on any one else.
