Francis H. Markoe.
The gorgeous part of the nights enter.

For all these things which | have sub
mitted in my primary platform | still
stand and shall stand to the end be-
cause / believe that the people of this
State are with me in the Judgment that
the day has come when the conservation
of the human life in this State is the
prime obligation which it's officials
should consider.
"Surely Cambria county needs better
roads than it has. It's growing popula-
tion, its multiplying industries, its con-
stant need of transportation are un-
questionably evidences that everywhere
throughout the county, as well as in the
State at large, THAT there should be we'll
built, wisely highways,
which, first of all, should be so CON
structed as to make it easy for the pro-
ducts of the farm to be brought to the
markets and market stations of the
world, and that in the second place
should facilitate the quick transit of
our people from one point to another in
the dispatch of their daily duties.
Favors a Civil Service
81 am absolutely in favor of this
and shall insist that the coming Legis-
lature shall make large appropriations
AS large as the resources of-.the Com
monwealth permit-for the bailding of
good honest roads in Pennsylvania
Money so used must bring back to the
people dollar for dollar in roads what
we invest in taxes; and these roads must
be supervised when constructed and
kept daily in good repair by men who
know how, and not merely by men who,
by reason of the accident of politics,
would seek to live upon the public
treasury without rendering an adequate
service for the money they receive.
81 should favor indeed a wise State
civil service which would include in it's
provisions these officers who would have
charge of the highways of 'Pennsylva-
mia, for the highways are not political
entities-they are economic necessi-
ties -

Three CANDIDATES HEARD
IN Fifth Street Church
DR.. Brumbaugh breaches Sermon to the
Rev. Mr.. Hart's Congregation
Mccormick and Pinchot Discuss the
Local Option Issue

Speeches by three candidates for
high offices, DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
Republical nominee for Governor;
Vance G. Mccormick, Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor, and Clifford Pinchot,
Washington party nominee for United
States Senator, were delivered yester-
day at the rally of the Fifth Street
Methodist church, of which the Rev. B.
H. Hart is pastor. DR.. Hart had adver.
tised the appearance of the candidates
who spoke at different meetings, his
announcement being that they would
speak on "the moral issues of the cam
paign.'
DR.. Brumibaugh did not refer to the
campaign at all, but preached ser
mon at the morning service. At the
afternoon meeting, when Mr.. McCor
mick spoke, and at the night service, al
which Mr.. Pinchot made an address
the subject assigned by the pastor wal
followed, although neither touched OIL
partisan politics. The Democratic an6
Progressive candidates dwelt upon goot
citizenship and laid stress on the loca
option issue.
The minister in introducing DR.
Brumbaugh referred to his former ac
quaintance with him at Huntingdon
and said: '"de will some day be Presi
dent of the United States. -
DR.. Brumbaugh preached from th,
text, Matthew VII, 27-29:
''And it came to pass, when Jesu
had ended these sayings, the peopi,
were astonished at his doctrine, for HI
taught as one having authority, an,
not as the scribes. -
| He compared the Greek philcsoph.
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1914-10-12

and the Roman influence with the
teachings of Christ in the Sermon on
the Mount, which appealed not to the
reason alone, or to the feelings, but to
the will power of humanity. DR.. Brum-
baugh declared that life is measured by
deeds and that no man can be Chris
tion by subscribing alone to dogmas of
faith, but only by doing as he is taught
by the sayings of Christ.
"The doctrine of service,'' he said,
was the fundamental principle of
Christ s life and teachings -
Enumerating the foundations upon
which the power of Christ rests, he re-
viewed His power of purpose, prepara-
tion, presentation and personality, and
drew lessons from each of these four
sources as illustrations of the possiIbili-
ties of the Christian life in men.
Mr.. Mccormick, during his talk on
local option, painted a word picture
of two parades in a street, to illustrate
the stand good citizen should take on
the moral issues involved in the cam
paign. Both parades, he said, were pre-
ceded by banners, bearing the inscrip-
tion, "'local option.' Behind the one
banner marched men in whose party
platform was no line relating to local
option, the saloonkeepers, brewers and
distillers. Behind the other were anti
saloon men, the church members of the
forces that have been fighting the liq-
uor interests.
Mr.. Pinchot at the night service said
that the Christian people are a unit
in their attitude on the drink habit
and that it would be eliminated in
Pennsylvania within few years.
"The church of Christ he said,
"needs now the spirit of our Master
when He took the scourge and drove
the ey-changers from the Temple. y
