Het "BUY NOW" DRIVE STEADILY GAINING Philadelphia, Nov. 3. A check of the "Buy Now" campaign of the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce at the end of the second week showed similar efforts in 385 cities. Nazareth and Uniontown were two of the Pennsylvania communities among the nine additional cities that joined Saturday. The Chamber of Commerce has circulated throughout the city an appeal made by the Rt.

Rev. Mon signor John J. Mellon, of St. Agatha's Church, who asked support of the movement. "At first blush it may appear that a priest who encourages the "Buy Now' Campaign, is stepping outside of his sphere of activity," Monsig nor Mellon said.

"However, seeing this ex2llent movement seeks as its primary purpose the social well being of the community, whose great army of unemployed and Jobless are to day in acute and bitter need, surely it is the plain duty of every minister of the Gospel of Christian Charity Marie your ballot like this Do not mark any other spaces tsk Wat Record oi JOHN HEMPHILL Appointed to Officers' Training Camp, Fort Oglethorpe, from West Chester, Pa November, 1917.

"There can be no doubt In the mind of any right thinking man that it is the business of those who can afford to do so to share of his surplus, of that which is superfluous to him, with those who are in real want, and who are powerless to help themselves. "Those who can afford to buy, let them buy now.

Let them buy what they may need not only now, but also something that they may need shortly." von RENEW FRIENDSHIPS AT ANNUAL REUNION Fifty residents of six states who were associated on a tour of the West three years ago renewed old acquaintances at the third annual reunion in the Harrisburger yesterday.

Under the Act l9l9, Sec. 8z9, you can mark yonr ballot in the Republican Party column and also vote for Mr. Hemphill for Governor, thus voting for all Republican candidates except Mr. Pinchot. THE EVES OF THE NATION ON PENNSYLVANIA A Pinchot victory would mean continuous prosperity for the bootlegger, continued graft, crime, corruption, hypocrisy resulting from the present prohibition law.

A Hemphill victory will place Pennsylvania in the eyes of the nation among the fast growing list of progressive states clamoring for repeal of the prohibition laws. Follow the leadership of Dwight Morrow I For Governor of this commonwealth there are two candidates, neither of whom is a Republican. The record of Gilford Pinchot shows him to be an enemy ot the Republican party; whose campaign utterances show him to he a menace to business and employment, an economic demagogue and a prodigious promiser. To friend of Labor a vote for Pinchot is a vote for Grundy. Do you want the unsafe doctrines of Pinchot at a critical time for all wage earners or the safe, sound doctrines of a man whom all Republicans can support with pride in duty well done.
