Other points made by DR.. Brum-
baugh are as follow:
Only State without Debt
"They tell us that Pennsylvania
sometimes won't behave herself as she
should, and that she has been extrava-
giant and badly managed. The truth
of the matter is it is the only Com
monwealth in the Union that is out of
debt. No dollar Of it's public funds has
ever been pilfered or taken from her
people; and further, whatever people
within our borders have failed to APP
preciate their heritage, and have by
their conduct dishonorcd the State, the
Republican party is able with quietness
and dispatch to get rid of, and put into
the government of your Commonwealth
men who love her and who will serve
her with singleness of purpose and with
high capacity and honest cndeaVor
Wants All the People Happy
"In these large cities of ours from
another point of view one gets light
upon this large social program. In the
little village where | was reared we
knew who was sick, who had gone on a
visit, who had come into the valley
from without, who was in distress, who
was rejoicing. Somehow there was a
comradeship there. But in Philadelphia
it not infrequently happens that you
don It know the name of the people who
live six inches away from you on the
other side of brick wall. / am plead
ing with you tonight to see where wis
dom would direct wise legislation and
serve in most helpful ways the social
aspect of the welfare of the people of
Pennsylvania. | assure you that in the
immediate future this State must turn
seriously to the problem of making
tolerable and profitable and happy the
life of all her people whether they live
in the cities with their multitudinous
forms of entertainment or whether
they live in the isolated country places
working on the farms, mills, FORCES and
factories. All these need a program of
social relief so that wherever they live
they shall live under the real spirit of
true social democracy.
81 am fairly familiar with the con-
dition of your public highways, and |
pledge to you if chosen to the Office of
Governor, you shall have good roads in
Pennsylvania, and you shall have one
hundred cents worth of road for every
dollar of your taxes that goes into
roads. And you shall have your roads
supervised after they are constructed
as long as they are roads. What folly
it is to build and make a road and
then forget it, turning it over to the
elements and the traffic, and in three
years having it deteriorated until it
must be rebuildedp'
