Special to The Telegraph

Pittsburgh Sept. 14.-Dr. Martin G.
Governor, is getting down among the
plain people again in this industrial
community and will spend all day
going the rounds of the industrial
towns. The visit is a repetition OF
what he did here at the time of the
State committee meeting and 1t is re-
markable the way the people are TAX
ing to the educator. He talks as
though he was glad to see them Just
as he did when he came to speak at
educational meetings.
Citing "the return of Christ to Ju-
dea, his home town and his home peo-
ple," and adding that the first mo-
ment in his life when under the law of
the people he could do so, he had
made his choice and took his stand,
DIR. Brumbaugh, occupying the pulpit
of the Dunkard Church in Pittsburgh
yesterday, preached a sermon in which
many in the audience felt they detect
ed a portentious reference.
The Philadelphia educator knew
more than half the congregation by
name or family connections or activi-
ties back in the Juniata Valley, met
w. H. Reed, a Pittsburgh Dunkard,
the man who taught him his "A B C's"
in Marklesburg, Huntingdon county,
and was welcomed by the pastor, the
Jh6N. L. X. COInlan, d lllelOuB
of Juniata Valley days. He took as
his text And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up; and,
as his custom was, he went into the
synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and
stood up for to read"
On Saturday DR.. Brumbaugh fairly
hand-shaked his way into the warm
regard of the people of the Beaver
Valley, in a whirlwind tour beginning
at Pittsburgh and concluding in pub
lie reception which drew thousands
TO the auditorium of Carnegie Library
in Beaver Falls. At every stop, Am
bridge, Economy. Leetsdale. Baden,
Beaver, Bridgewater, the Oldest town
in Beaver county; Rochester. Coraopo-
lis, New Brighton and Beaver Falls,
he met genuine ovations, and was able
always through a homely line of ques-
tioning, already a remarked-about fea-
ture of his campaign, TO re-establish
old relationship with several in the
crowds running from a few persons
to several hundred that greeted him.
DIR. Brumbaugh, Frank B. McClain,
nominee for Lieutenant-Govern and
Henry Houck, candidate for Secretary
of Internal Affairs and others will
open the Washington county Repub-
lican campaign Tuesday evening, Sep
tember Is, at Donora. Colonel Thomas

laTges GN-LleuI6ndnI-GONeT IL
liam NJ. Brown, candidate for Con-
gress in the Twenty-fourth district;

Senate and candidate in the Forty
sixth district, and Assembly candidates
DR.. ]. Add Sprowls. of Donora; Harry
r. Myers and G. P. Baker, of Wash
ington, will be among those who will
attend.
Reports from all over the district
indicate a big majority for eX-Lieu-
tenant-Governor Brown in his canvass
for Congress.
A Hazleton dispatch has this to say
about the candidate: The visit of
DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh, of Phila-
delphia, Republican candidate for gov
crnor, to the city this week brought
together all of the prominent party
workers of the Hazleton district and
was the opening gun of the local cam
laign. The enthusiasm with which
the nominee was received and the at
tendance at the meeting was a re-
minder of the oldtime rallies of years
gone by when a political gathering
was always the occasion for a great
outpouring of citizens from the entire
Lehigh coal field"
