ROBERT S. MURPHY'S TRIBUTE
Former Lieutenant Governor Speaks
In High Praise of His Successful
Rival For Governorship.

As the tour of John K. Tener, the
nominee for governor, and his col
leagues on the Republican ticket car
ries them from county to county and
the day OF election draws nearer in
terest in the campaign continues to
grow and the meetings continue to at
tract immense crowds at every i'm
portant stopping place. Since the very
outset of the canvass there has not
been a disappointing feature and all
signs point to a tremendous victory.
Probably one OF the most interesting
occasions on the trip was the demon
stratiou given MIR. Tener in Johns
town. the home of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robert S Murphy. who was
probably the most prominently men
toned of those proposed for the nomi-
nation which ultimately went to Mr..
Tener. The citizenship of this indus.
trial center turned out in great num-
bers to greet the Teuer party, and
Lieutenant Governor Murphy was their
spokesman and he presided over the
meeting
MI Murphy, in an eloquent address,
reviewed the issues and in referring
to Mr. Tener spoke of him as "a man
OF splendid heart. with 4 sound brain
in sound body: one who is in sympa-
thy with labor and who is acquainted
with the toll in the work shop and
mill; one who has attained a position
in the community in which he resides
for business integrity and a business
ability second 10 none; one who has
lifted himself by the aid of superior
talents into a position of prominence
and influence in the financial world OF
western Pennsylvania; one who ably
represented his district in the con.
gress OF the United States; one whose
is in hearty accord with the policies
of his party in the nation and with
the policies of the present state ad-
ministration, to the carrying out and
execution of which he has pledged
himself None who knows him but viii
believe that this promise will be thor
oughly redeemed
1T is my privilege" concluded Mr.
Murphy, to know him personally, and
! esteem him as a man of high ideals.
clean in thought and speech, and be-
yond the slightest reproach in public
or private life"
Mr.. Murphy expressed the belief
that Mr Tener will have a big ma
jority.

The next afternoon q summons came

Strong Taxation Policy.

In this connection one OF his col.
leagues. the nominee Tor lieutenant
governor John NJ Reynolds. a few
nights ago. said:
THE policy of the Republican party
In this state since 1866 has been to
relieve the individual of the burden OF
taxation and to place the same upon
those sources most able to bear It.
This will be seen from the fact that
the total revenues for 1909, amount
ing to over s29.000.O0O, were derived
from four sources Corporations. about
seventeen million dollars: personal
property, over four million dollars
collateral inheritance, over one mil
lion seven hundred thousand dollars
mercantile. brewery and distilleries H.
censes. over three million dollars.
From this we're supported the state
government. charitable institutions
hospitals for the insane. dispensaries
sanitariums. reformatories and peni
tentiaries. soldiers orphans schools
besides payment for primary election
expenses. appropriations to public
schools and other items aggregating !
little over thirty million dollars
The fact that stands out most
prominent and to the credit OF the
foresight and skill of our lawmakers
Is shown in comparing the revenues
and. expenses of 1890 with that OF
1909. In the former year the revenues
and expenses were each over eight
millions, and in 1909 they were each in
excess of twenty-nine million dollars
with few changes in tho tax laws
the corporate growth paid in the main
this excess in revenues, enabling the
state government to relieve local tax

Progressive Pennsylvania.

In one of his recent speeches Mr..
Tener took occasion to refer to the
advanced position held by Pennsylva-
MIA in the matter of statutes advocated
by some so-called progressives, laws
for the protection of labor and other
interests. and upon this subject. among
other things, he said:

lutely believe that Pennsylvania is the
best governed state in the nation and
that its several administrative depart.
ments are honestly and ericieutly gov.
erued
During the past four years Penn

states, met the issues and gave to the
people such laws as were demanded,

ground in what is now known as pro.
gressive legislation so much Sought
after by our sister states. and result.
ing entirely to the credit o! the Re

To-day many Of our sister states

TWO Conventions contrasted.

The Pennsylvania convention was
the most harmonious ever held in the
history of the state; there was not a
dissenting voice to any plank in the
platform either in committee or on
the floor Of the convention. and an un-
precedented feature vas the fact that
not an opposing candidate was placed
in nomination and not vote was east
against any one OF the men nominated
on the state ticket.
While the New York gathering was
most spectacular and sensational,
Teddy finally had his way. and his way
as far as the platform was concerned,
at least, was the Pennsylvania way"
Roosevelt and Pcnrose have been
fast friends from the time of their col
lege days. No president could have
treated Penrose in the matter of per-
sonal consideration and patronage bet
ter than did Roosevelt. That under
their direction Republicans of these
neighboring states will work in unison
to promote the general cause of Re
publicanism may be taken for granted

Roosevelt Appreciates Pennsylvania.

Roosevelt within a few weeks, in
his speech in PittsburG, gave evidence
of this apprn iat!on Of the work of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania,
when he was urstinted in his praise
of the school laws, the liberal appro.
priations to public schools ard to char.
tiles, the legislation to protect tha
lives of employees. for the conservative n
of the forests and the water ways AMI
the other Eerltorious laws upon the
statute books.
1t has been a matter OF comment
that the one issue FOR wkich Roosevelt
fought hardest in tie New York con.
vention, that Of direct primaries. has
already been met under the Penroso
leadership. and along with the uniform
primaries, Pennsylvania las the cor.
rupt practices act and he personal
registration law, which were passed
by Republican legislators and signed
by Republican governor.
President Taft is showing a keen In.
terest in the success Of the Renubli.
can party in every state in the Union.
and his speech at the dinner of the
National Republican League in NeN
York attests the concern he has for
the election of every Republican noml.
nee for congress.
