Eloquent Son of Cambria Tells Why
Pennsylvania Should Go Republican
This Year.


Pennsylvania Should Go Republican
This Year.
One of the most noteworthy
speeches of this campaign was made
a few nights ago by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Robert S. Murphy, who, although
he was the only avowed candidate for
the gubernatorial nomination, which
ultimately went to Congressman John
X. Tener is now one of the most ar
dent advocates Of Mr.. Tener's cleo
tion.
Governor Murphy who is an elo-
quent and forcible campaigner, pre-
sented a comprehensive review Of the
great achievements of the Stuart ad-
ministration, the progress made in the
development of all of the departments
and the rigorous prosecution of the
capitol frauds in both criminal and
civil actions, and dwelt upon the fact
that Mr.. Tener is pledged to continue
the policies of Edwin S. Stuart
Governor Murphy, among other
thin IS, said:
"N, ith every department of the state
government in the hands of intelligent
and patriotic servants, with the most
modern and systematic methods of
business in force, and with a record
luminous with order, economy and
faithful service, the question before
the people at the coming election is
whether or not they can afford to re-
pudia;e the achievements of Governor
Stuart and the works of his admins
traton and support either of the Dem
ocratic candidates. And, remember,
whatever has been accomplished is
distinctly Republican party asset and
one which we cheerfully submit in
justification of the vote of confidence
which we ask.
"ln the present juncture of affairs
it must be admitted that the election
of the Hon. Webster Grim, although a
man OF character and excellent repu.
tatiOn in private and public life. is
absolutely impossible this year. Nor
is the outlook any more favorable for
the other Democratic candidate, the
Hon. William H. Berry Both of these
gentlemen, without hesitation, attack
everything that is Republican and they
stand for a reversal of mea q res ani
of administration which are sle chiet
pride and glory of the Republican
party. They seek, Of course, not to
only aid themselves but all other Dem.
ocrats, especially candidates for con.
gress, which can only be construed as
an open attack upon the protective
principle which is the breath OF life
in the nostrils of Pennsylvania, and by
which she has advanced to the highest
degree of material development. In
addition to their Endorsement and sup
port OF congressional candidates, they
are also supporting Democratic candi-
dates for the legislature in the hope
of electing Democratic United States
senator
Against this well-dehned purpose
Pennsylvania stands committed for
she believes in the protective princi-
pie and in placing those in congress
who are sincerely its friends. Any 9th.
er course would be suicidal, for we
cannot, in the interest of manifold in.
dustries and of the man who tolls,
afford to support in the present politi-
cal crisis the candidates of the De
mocracy who advocate free trade or
favor such confusing and unsatisfac.
tory schedule as found expression in
ja Wilson-Gorman bill of the Cleve-
nd administration, which proved so
fatal in it's consequences to the labor
and capital of the country.
