PUSEY As Joker
CALLED AFLWER
Accuses Forester of Leaving
Limousine to Crank Ford as
Movie Cameras Clicked
SAYS 1T WAS "FRAME.UP"

Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey. campaign
manager for Attorney General Alter.
livened up the Alter forces today with
q Ford joke, which Pinchot men laughed
at as OLIVER
The colonel solemnly declared that
Mr.. and Mrs. Pinchot had been snapped
by movie men in Ford. whereas their
usual conveyance. he intimated. was
magnificent limousine
Richard Weglein. president. Of Coun.
| Gil, also contributed with the novel idea
that philadelphia best interests would
be served by the nomination Of the At
torney General.
BY thfs time Colonel Pusey had an!
other thought. other than the one about
the Ford, and which described Pinchot
| as mature fakir." In this second
statement Colonel Pusey branded PIN
chot as propagandist because he
doomed nation wide forestry con.
servatiOn movement.
IN the course OF this statement Colo.
mel PuSey feared tnat Pinchots aim
was to 'sovietiEe' the United States.
Another fear which thrilled the colonel
was expressed in this question:
VIII he also tell the people whether
he ~ not a believer in birth control:'
Colonel Pusay's nature fakir story
, was as follows:
We have heretofore put some queries
to Mr.. PinchOt in this campaign, which
remain as yet unanswered. to deter
mine whether or not he Is Of real guber-
nat0rial caliber or only dcmagogue
and faker.
On Sunday last. May Z. he and his
Wife were seen motoring near Radnor
Woods, In the suburbs of PHILADELPHIA,
IN magnificent limousine any million
aire would have been proud to possess.
By appointment apparently, they met q
common ordinary Ford cnr containing
some camera and movie picture men
who had Mr.. and Mrs. Pinchot leave
their luxurious limousine and take pos.
session of the humble Ford as II it were
their really, own. and while the movie
men gave directions TO Mr.. Pinchot to
20 through the motions OF cranking the
innocent and unoffending little Ford and
TO work around it with his hat of and
his hair diSheveled just like one Of the
rest OF us. the camera snapped and the
movie man cranked, preparing his pro-
duction.
Upon the conclusion of this little
farce. Mr.. and Mrs. Pinchot returned
to their magnificent limousine and
motored back TO their parking place at
the Bellevue- -Stratford Hotel in Phia-
delphia.
And all this to endcavor to fool the
people, and make them believe that
Clifford Pinchot, millionaire gentleman.
Of Washington and New York society.
was a regular fellow, dirt farmer. n
humble citizen with simple tastes.
seeking the pleasures of nature along
the woods he loves so much
And as Mr.. Pinchot was willing to
| lend himself to this fake production to
fool the people for political purposes
NO his whole campaign has been one of
fake stories. fake promises and fake
representation TO the people is n
desperate and expensive attempt to i'm.
pose himself upon them as n candidate

State Lost Interest Due
Interest aggregating thousands Of

third section of the report of expert ac-
countants. who audited the books Of the

money from Allegheny County. which
was held as cash on hand instead
Of being deposited IN interest bearing

section Of the accountants report,
covering the period from September,
1919, to April. 1921. \ fourth section

died this huge sum Of money. and the
purposes for which it was used.
The present report shows that all OF
the principal involved reached the banks

whether any Implication Of possible

from the methods of handling this vast

town. Seliersvilc and Pcrkasie. are also
counted upon ty the Gilkeson element.
Fhey also expect all Of Grundy's enc
mics. which are many, to vote for their
candidate.
Further evidence that Buckman is
going to have battle comes from New
Britain. II village between Doylestown
and Chalfont. For several years the
people there have been clamoring to the
State Senator for Il Doylestown- -Chal-
font road through their town. But all
to no avail--eXcept promises.
As n last resort the New Britain
Community Association sent dclega-
ton to the State Highway Department
in Harrisburg asking for some action.
Work on the highway started only n
few days ago.
As a result the association. which Is

Picks Up Fathers Battle
One ut Mr.. Gilkcson's main reasons
for desiring to sit in the State Senate,
and possibly to become q county leader
later, is because of the prominence Of
his father in Bucks County. Way
back when the famous Quay. Hastings
fight for control Of PENNSYLVANIA was
! in progress it was B. Franklin Gilke-
| son, Sr.. then the organization leader
of Bucks. who threw his support to
| Hastlngs in an effort to overthrow
Quay.
Hastings was defeated. Gilkeson
was subsequently defeated and was sue
ceeded by Grundy. Now the son de-
sircS TO step on 10 the political throne,
| from where his father once ruled with
answering power.
So far as the Pinchot VS. Alter stu
alton is concerned in Bucks County. il
is about thc same as in Montgomery.
Alter supporters keep in the background
| while Pinchot enthusiasts eXtOl the
virtues Of their favoritc from morning
until night.
Since John :. Fisher withdrew from
the race. Grundy IN for Pinchot. Buck
man Is for PinChot and Gilkeson is for
| pinch0t. It's strange to have both
candidates for Pinch0t. but evidently
| they both believe an Endorsement OF
