III. N. Gitt a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
in the York-Adams district, last night
made an attack on Con-
eressman A. r. Brodbeck,
in which he makes serious Brodbecl
charges against the con- Assailed
gressman. These charges at Home
are contained in a letter
sent to Brodbeck and
made public by Gitt. Gitt asserts that
the congressman is unfit to represent
the people of his district for the rea-
sons that while sheriff of York county
he overcharged the county for feeding
prisoners and that during the cam
paign of Messrs. MCLEAN, McSherry,
Keesey and Zeigler, Democratic candi-
dates for Congress, Brodbeck used his
influence against them, and in several
instances did so in response to Repub-
lican Influences. Gitt says he will pro-
duce documentary evidence to prove
ms charges. Brodbeck is very strong
with the reorganization faction.
A special dispatch from Altoona
says: "Enrollment just completed in
this city with that of the country dis
trict of Blair county
shows conclusively that
RepubiicanS many voters are getting
Gaiilmg in back to their former
Blair County polite ical faith and
neither Washington mol
Socialist parties will poll
much more than per cent. of the
vote which they cast here in the re-
cent past. The Blair county voters
particularly Republicans, are aroused
TO the importance of the offices to be
hlled this year and from all indications
a big vote will be polled at the ap-
preaching primaries. 1t is conceded
that practically the unanimous Repub-
hcan vote of the entire county will be
accorded Martin G. Brumbaugh, COM
ing from the neighboring Huntingdon
county, for the nomination for Gov
ernor. In the Democratic fight the
sentiment here appears to favor
Michael j. Ryan, of Philadelphia, over
his opponent, Vance c. Mccormick,
Tor nomination. In the United States
Senatorship contest it is manifest that
senator Boies Penrose has gained
wonderfully in strength throughout
this section
Congressman Robert e. Lee, one OF
the conspicuous Democrats in Con-
Sfess and the man who was hailed as
a possible candidate for
Governor year ago, has
stirred up Democracy by Lee Comes
asserting that he favors Out Openly
Ryan over Mccormick. for RYAN
Il am convinced that the
only hope of Democratic
success in Pennsylvania in November
depends on the nomination of Michael
j. Ryan for Governor" said he. 81
would not now offer an opinion if /
did not feel that the success of our
entire party ticket, local, state and
national. Is in grave danger. Our party
IN pennsylvania has the best chance 1t
has had in more than a generation to
achieve sweeping victory in Novem-
Der, provided ordinary horse sense is
exercised and a broad, conciliatory
spirit shown in the election of candi-
dates l have of late been in touch
with many sincere Democrats from
many sections of the State men who
want nothing more than the glory of
sharing in the victory that is possible,
ana they are of one mind as to the
means by which that victory can be
Won"
DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh. candi-
date for the Republican nomination
Tor Governor, has written to the Child
Labor Associations: Il think YOU will
hnd me in entire accord and sympathy
with the thing in which you believe
most earnestly" in reply to the Child
