SPLENDID EFFORT OF
SENATOR PENROSE

When Senator Penrose got upon his
feet and stretched himself up to his
full height of six feet three inches, he
looked every inch a worthy represen-
tative of the great keystone state, and
he received an ovation that would
make any man proud. He was afflicted
with a bad cold, which gave a most
peculiar intonation to his voice. He
spoke, in part, as follows:
Never in the history OF the Republican state
league has there been a mass meeting which
has called out such splendid and representa-
tive audience as this one, and never has there
been a gathering OF delegates in this state which
recalls TO the minds Of all so many painful and
sorrowful memories.

SKETCH OF PRESIDENT
OF STATE LEAGUE

J. Hampton Moore, the president Of
the Pennsylvania State League of Re-
publican clubs, was like many other
prominent Philadelphians. born in New
Jersey. He first saw the light OF day
in Woodbury., March s, 1864, but at an
early age came with his parents To
the Quaker City. He passed prelim-
mary examination for law students at
the age of IA, and two years later was
employed by the court combination 10
report the proceedings in the municipal
courts for the various morning and
afternoon newspapers. In 1883 he
became regularly attached to the re-
portoral staff OF the Public Ledger.
then conducted by the late distin-
guished George w. Childs. lie rapidly
attained prominence in his chosen pro-
fession ard most OF the desirable as
signments foll 10 his lot. He was at the
JohnstoWn flood and in subsequent
years was president Of the JohnstoWn
Flood Correspondence association. He
reported the famous Homestead riots,
and in 1890 created the real estate and
labor bureau of the Public Ledger. He
established this at a high standard,
acquiring the friendship and esteem not
only of the builders and real estate
| operators of the Quaker City, but OF
the labor leaders throughout Pennsyl-
yania and the United States.
| When Richard q. Oellers was elect
ed city treasurer OF Philadelphia in
1895, although Mr.. Moore was not then
known as an active political spirit, he
| was chosen as that officials chief
| clerk. His record was such In the
| position, his aCQuaintanccship with the
| active party workerGs was so rapidly
extended and he attained such distinc-
| ton as a speaker at political meetings
| that he became a prominent candidate
| for his chiefs successor. Although all
| the leaders OF the city were against
him at that particular time, neverthe-
| less he was able to control a large
| number of delegates in the nominating
! convention. Defeated, as he was, by
a combinat ton of circumstances, he
did not sulk in his tent, but straight
| way enlisted under the banner of his
successful opponent. He engaged sue
| Cessfully in the real estate business, in
which he continued until Mayor ASH
bridge selected him az secretary. Mean
while he had published, among other
interesting political and literary pro-
ductions, history of the Spanish
| American war,
During this time he was secretary OF
the Peace Jubilee committee, under
whose direction the famous celebra-
tion took place in Philadelphia in the
fall OF 1898.
As secretary to Mayor Ashbrdge, as
president OF the League OF Republican
clubs, as secretary of the far-famed
Five O'Clock club, as speaker at mum
erous political gatherings, and as 4
general all-round good fellow" he
made so many friends that his nomlns
tion for city treasurer, some months
ago, became foregone conclusion, al
though even then many of the parts
leaders were opposed to his selection
because of his youthfulness.
