Penrose IS Opinion
DR.. Martin G.. Brumbaugh, Repub-
Iican candidate for Governor, and his
campaign party went into the home OF
the Bull Moose on the northern tier
yesterday and closed a tour of three
counties with a rousing Republican
rally 1T Wellsboro. the home of State
Treasurer Il. X. Young, and the native
heath of L. A. VanValkenburg. The
neighbors of these men turned out by
hundreds and cheered and cheered DIR.
Brumbaugh when he declared that he
did not want the votes of any man who
did not have the utmost confidence in
him. The declaration by the big edu-
rator was one of the boldest state
ments he has yet made and made a
profound sensation among the think
Ing men of that part of the State.
more than $4,000 people signed
my nomination papers instead OF 500
required by law. 1t was spontaneous
and cordial endorsement of the sug-
gestion of my name and any fool
newspaper or citizen who thinks that
any man or group of men had any
thing to do with that nomination be-
yond the free will of the petitioners
who put my name upon the primary
ballot Is blind to the truth of the situ-
ation," declared DR.. Brumbaugh.
AT the primary last May more than
one-fourth million people, good law
abiding, legally qualified citizens and
To- electors of this State supported me
for the Office of Governor and l come
to you bearing a brief from that
mighty army of voters in this Com
'monwealth and it is because they
have selected me that I come and |
am willing to come among the people
throughout the counties of this Com
monwealth to make a canvass for the
Office to which they have nominated
me.
EndIessly Free
"I have been honored with the pri-
mary call. / have not in any way Of
fered to traffic or truckle for the NOM
ination that has come to me as a
free gift Of the independent. clear
minded. honest-hearted people OF
r Pennsylvania.
II won't sell out for gold or for
gain to any soul in the world, and
speaking for the ticket we are not
boss-made candidates who are stand
ing before you for your State offices
Somehow the moral of that lesson
gets into my blood tonight and
would like to say to those here who
have undertaken to sell the solemn
will and law of the people of Penn
sylvania as expressed in their primar-
les that L throw back their pretense
I@and say take back your promises, we
will not have men who traduce the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Wants Only Confidence Votes
"And ask you here whether or no.
we have before now in Pennsylvania q
fair and honest proposition to whicf
all good citizens may rally and tC
which 1 believe / am safe in inviting
the sympathy and cooperation OF eV'
cry good man and every good woman
in Pennsylvania.
IF any man feels that he made c
mistake in voting for me in the May
primaries / relinquish any claim
upon him. l want no mans vote in
PENNSYLVANIA unless there is conf
dence and character back of it.
"a Shape-up and Wake-up''
Mayor Frank Z. McClain, of Lancas
ter, candidate for Lieutenant Cover
nor. in a satirical review of the prog
ress made by the Democratic party
caused many laughs by his description
of the marriage of the Progressive
Bull Moose to the Democratic mule.
Becoming serious he declared g;

Mr.. McClain in one of his speeche
to-day said:
"A perusal of a standard work o

where the Bull Moose has been de

we find him mated with the brayin

DR.. Brumbaugh and the rest of tn
party assailed during the day the fu
sion of the Progressives and Demo

speeches that both of these partie
had broken the spirit of the direC
