chot seldom fails to start specula-
ton when he comes out of the
Pike county woods after tempo
rary retirement and fires a blast
at Mellonism, the special inter
ists," the Republican organization
or the Democrats. This time the
Democrats are his target.
Political observers here regard
as significant that fact that the
occasion chosen by the former
governor for his first real politi-
cal speech since he left office last
January was a testimonial dinner
given for Morton Witkin, a Phila-
delphia legislator and county
commiSSioner-elect who for years
has been allied with the regular
Republican organization.
Mr.. Pinchot has had many a
battle with the Republican organ
ization, even though he has had
the support Of former Senator
Joseph r. Grundy and other i'm
portant party leaders on occasion.
At the Witkin dinner he made
definite overtureS for cooperation
next year between his own politi-
cal machine and The Old Guard
faction Of Pennsylvania Repuhli-
canism.
He assured the regulars" that
they will get nowhere without his
support; that next year will be a
repetition of 1884, when George
H. Earle and the Democrats were
swept into office, unless the Re
publicans get together and the
leadership recognizes changing
conditions,

GOOD FELLOWS,
HEED THESE
APPEALS!
Nv THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

BY THE GOOD FELLOW EDAAOh
Before appealing to the Good
Fellows, Mrs. c." waited, hoping
against hope that something
would turn up that would make
her appeal unnecessary. Part
of her letter reads:
st. have tried so hard not to
ask for help, but I am forced to
ask as I know that my children
won't have anything for Christ
mas. MY husband IS dead and
nv five children need food. And
we have no fuel to heat the
house"
Unemployed, heartsick and
proud, this mother deserves a
Good Fellow to ease her anxiety
and help her "underpriVileged"
children.
Anxious Mother Writes
Another letter from an anxious
mother is printed in part. She
says:
ST have three children, two boys,
z and S, and a girl, 8, and all
they talk about is Santa Claus.
And I can't bear to hear them
for I know that unless some one
helms them there will be nothing
for them at Christmas.
st have to keep them in bed
to keep them warm as have
no heat in the house. My huS-
band is on relief, but hasn't any
work. can't even buy the chill
dren enough to eat, and they do
not have enough warm clothes.
It's terrible to see them in such
need"
A very few dollars would
brighten Christmas for this
family. Good people, hard-work-
ing and honest, but swept away
from safe moorings they once
knew by this tidal wave of
despair.
Boy Makes Appeal
A 12.year.old boy writes:
81 am poor, but I can't help
it. Will you please give me
something for Christmas. I once
gave some Of my things to the
poor.
My father is, dead. I loved
him, too. Now my mother is
i'll, and I don't know when she
will be well again. Clothes would
do me more good, I suppose, but
you can bring me what you think
best"
And in young anticipating
boyiSh fashion, this lad also
writes in his letter that he
would like to have "a drum, or
a football, or wagon, or a
knife" but he doesn't fail to
add that anything will be
appreciated.
Also living with this family
is this youngsters married sister,
who has a 9-year-old son that
also is looking for Santa Claus.
The Washington Times will
provide the names of as many
persons or families, adults or
children, as the Good Fellow
wishes. If you wish to help,
please notify the Good Fellow
Editor as early as possible. You
can do so by mail, telephone. or
in person at The Washington
Times Building. between the
hours Of 10 a. m. to p. m.

 The Yakobi loaded 200 cases of powder for the Chichagof mine today and will sail for Chichagof some time this evening. The vessel recently re- turned from similar trip to the Chichagof mine, after being forced to spend several days in Funter Bay be- cause of storms and low visibility.
 Fred Ordway reported that al- .hough the weather was poor for photography at Taku, satisfactory quantity of commercial motion pie ures and still pictures were taken.
 The success of the trip was due ,ntirely to Pilot Simmons ability to handle his plane efficiently under adverse weather conditions" Ordway said today. ss8t. 4 A6
