CREED The MOTIVE
Not a Difficult Matter to Learn
Why Some Men in PennsyI-
vania Shout for Bryan
pENROSE IN HARNESS AGAIN

pcH'oT oeHdsoT HetuTnS FROM r1edltH-
Seeking Vacation More Vigorous
Than Ever-Studied Situation Care
fully and Sees No Hope for Bryan.
Scratch the most ardent Bryan man
to be found in Pennsylvania and to a
certainty there will be found an office
seeker, consistent only in his appetite
for public place. In all other things po-
litical he will be found as inconsistent
as Mr.. Bryan himself, who since he
shouted himself into political notice
dozen years ago has ever been shifting
his policies and principles, with the
single exception of his incessant and
intolerable greed for the presidency
w. r. Hearst, in a speech at lndianap-
oils last week, was happy in his de-
scription of Bryan when he spoke OF
him as "the peerless prestidigitator
of modern politics. whose hand Is
quicker than the eye, who causes his
principles to disappear and changes
his politics in full view of the audi
ence."
The country's good has never cost
Candidate Bryan single serious
thought. His thoughts have been. un-
der all circumstances and conditions,
the children Of his ambition to be.
come president of the United States.
This country and its cherished insti.
tutions have been and now are with
him merely secondary considerations.
The same greed he has shown Is now
fairly consuming the most devoted fol-
lowers OF the leather-lunged aspirant
for the presidency. They want the
postofflces and the petty places with
an utter disregard for consequences.
They care absolutely nothing for the
problems of national government-do
nestle or foreign. They simply want
political preferment and to secure It
they are endeavoring TO throw dust
into the eyes of the people.
Just now these ambitious Demo
cratic place hunters are manifesting
soulful devotion for the wage earn
ers, endeavoring to wipe ont of men,
ory the stern and ever-present fact
that neither Mr.. Bryan nor the Democ-
racy has ever given to labor anything
but very liberal doses of foolish ad-
vice. No laboring man in Pennsylva-
MIA will vote for Mr.. Bryan without
| voting knowingly against his own best
interests and against the party which
| in and out Of season-when political
campaigns were on and when they
were off-has stood firm and steadfast
for the best interests OF the wage earn
er and labor generally. The record Of
the Republican party so far as labor
Is concerned is the record of action
and devotion to the sacred cause of
those who earn their bread by the
sweat of their brows
No wage Garner in Pennsylvania will
be tricked into following the advice Of
the place-hunting Bryan shouters with
out knowingly voting to advance the
selfish interests of the place-hunters
at his own personal sacrifice,
It is worth repeating: Scratch the
most ardent Bryan shouter in any sec.
tion and there will be uncovered
man who is being consumed by his
greed for public place!
United States Senator Boies Pen
rose has returned to his Philadelphia
home after spending the summer IN
the open in the west. During the time
he was away Senator Penrose slept
out of doors and ate only the plainest
of foods. AS a result he returns to as
sumo the responsible duties Of his ex-
alted position with his youth renewed
and his political sagacity sharper than
ever. Senator Penrose, It will be re-
called, was a very sick man for sew
eral weeks last winter Frequently
during his illness his life was de-
SPARED Of. While convalescing Sena-
tor Penrose visited at the farm OF his
brother near Philadelphia. When he
felt sufficiently recovered he went into
the Colorado mountains, where he
found rest in abundance and game in
plenty.
Now that he has returned to the
state Senator Penrose has entered ear
nestly into the fight for Taft and Sher-
man. 1t is practically certain that the
senator will have no opposition for re-
election to the United States senate
next winter and in the pending presi-
Dental campaign he will be able to
make a number of speeches through
out the commonwealth. He will give
his very best efforts in helping to elect
Republican congressman and all other
Republican candidates throughout the
state.
Immediately upon his return to Phil
adelphia Senator Penrose gave out an
interview analyzing the political condi-
tions in the country and telling, in
forceful way, why Republicans will
have to do but their plain duty to elect
Mr.. Taft president. He watched poll
tics closely during his vacation, stud
led conditions carefully and managed
TO gather political sentiment from
nearly every state in the union, and
as a result OF his research and efforts
Senator Penrose said he found naught
but encouragement for the Republican
party. He says Bryan is in no way
stronger in this contest than he was
In his former fights when he and his
spurious politics were repudiated and
ignored Senator Penrose Is positiye
