No one better than Boies Penrose

No one better than Boies Penrose
appreciates the far-reaching effect of
a sweeping Republican victory in this
state upon national conditions and ma
tional politics. and no one better than
he understands how reduced Repub-
lican vote and a reduced Republican
majority wOvld be heTalded as a lack
of confidence in the policy of protec-
tion which Pennsylyania's representa-
tives in Washington so steadfastly
championed at the recent session of
congress.
Senator Penrose is therefore taking
an unusually active part in the pres
ent state campaign.
He has made a number of speeches
and he is giving much time to assist
ing the Republican state organization
in the effort to get large Republican
vote to the polls on Nov. 2. He attend

Great Tribute to Penrose.
Senator Penrose has missed no op-
portunity to emphasize the importance
of the tariff situation to Pennsylva-
mans. He has just been the recipient
of one of the greatest testimonials
ever given an American statesman.
The observation OF "Penrose day" in
the textile district known as KensinS-
ton was an event in the history of
Philadelphia. The senior United State s
senator accepted invitations to visit a
number of industrial plants, and he
was given oyations at every place he
stopped by thousands of mill workers,
as well as the proprietors OF the vari-
ous establishments. in recognition OF
his services in protecting those inter
ests in the flaming of the Payne tariff
bill. Flags we're flying from the homes
of many of the wage earners in the
mill district and the factories were
gaily decked with bunting At each
stopping place men and women assem-.

dress from him upon the subject of
the tariff and the benefits that have
been derived from protection. they

both men and women. made speeches
thanking him on behalf OF their col.
leagues.
In the evening of the same day over
FIVE hundred representative manufact-
urers. coming from various states of
the Union. assembled at the Bellevue
Stratford and lauded Senator Penrose
for the part he took in the great fight
for protection so recently. Represen,
tatives of the wage earners were also
heard from at this gathering.
Senator Penrose is making earnest
appeals to Republicans of the state to
roll up a majority such as will leave
no question of Pennsylvania's position
on the tariff issue and be a service ~
notice upon revlsion!sts that further
t!rker!ng with tie tariff will Lot be
tolerated.
