Character Assassins
In Chambersburg last night the big
educator spoke to a crowd of 1900
people. whose enthusiasm made the
democratic meetings appear like
wakes.
The meeting in the Franklin capital
closed the day and was marked by a
very snappy address by DIR. Brum-
baush. He sharply replied to Char
acter assassins and robbers of good
mems names" who have attacked his
primary platform as a meaningless
thing not to be credited by the voters
of the State. His platform, he said,
was written by his own hand, undic-
tated, unseen and unknown by any
body but himself.
What is in that platform l stand
for tonight just as l stood for it in
the May primaries" He also de-
nounced the foolish and fatuous
policies" of the Democratic admins
tration in Washington. which, he de-
clared. was causing suffering among
the workers of America whicH could
not be cured until a Republican gov
ernment was put in power.
DR.. Brumbaughs trip took him
InTOuRn the DeauLl1ul Cum Derland
Valley, into Cumberland. Fulton and
Franklin counties. where his friends
are legion and his relations are many.
Everywhere he went his reception
was a friendly one, most of those
shaking his hand being familiar
enough to call him by his first name,
and his visit, according to the county
chairman. brought many back to the
Republican ranks and not a few
Democrats will also vote for him.
Sentiment throughout the Valley is
strong for the entire Republican ticket
and record majorities for 1t are pre-
dicted as an instance of this feeling.
Mr.. Stewart Presides
After speaking to the poor directors
at Carlisle DIR. Brumbaugh was in
troduced to the students of the Cum

president of the institution, George III

catch glimpse of DIR. Brumbaugh
