Makes Ringing Speech


Inspired by the size of his audience
and the enthusiastic reception he re-
ceived, DR.. Brumbaugh at this point
made one of the best speeches of the
entire trip, saying during the course
of his remarks:
"I crave your Indulgence for a mo-
ment to make a statement somewhat
personal in its nature. i have car
ried my campaign on the basis of my
primary platform everywhere in Penn
sylvania. l stand here as / have stood
everywhere else in Pennsylvania for
the large social program contained in
that platform; for a workingman S
compensation act an advanced en-
ployers' liability act, better laws for
the protection of women who toll,
and for as advanced a local option
law, county by county, as the chivalry
and the justice of our people can pos
sibly write into our statutes; for a
widening of agricultural opportuni-
ties; for reorganization of our road
system in Pennsylvania, and for every
other thing which like unto this has
to do directly with the welfare of the
people of this Commonwealth. In all
the discussions relating to these and
other matters 1 have tried to carry
myself as a candidate in precisely the
same way that I will carry myself as
an official for l believe that a man
who does not behave himself decently
and seemly in campaign is not fit to
be an official at the hands OF the
good people of Pennsylvania.
'T WILL NOT SAY A THING TO
GET AN OFFICE THAT L WILL NOT
DO WHEN IN OFFICE, and it is to
me source of wonder, rather than
of resentment, that men with personal
grievances have had the temerity-
may / say, the impudence TO come
into the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania absolutely unfamiliar with every
detail of the thoughts and purposes
of our people and undertake, without
one iota of the personal knowledge
of the situation, to tell the people of
Pennsylvania whom they should elect
Governor of their Commonwealth?
Such mountebanks clamoring for pub
lie applause and voicing the senti-
ments of disgruntled, disappointed and
discredfted citizens, should be invited
by conclusive and overwhelming re-
sentiment to return to their own af-
fairs and to their own legitimate
spheres of activity. This State is large
enough and free enough and proud
enough of itself to manage its own
affairs, and needs not the dictation nor
Sthe advice of those who care little
for 1t, but who care much for them
selves.
"I was born in Pennsylvania. I.
have spent my life in the schools of
Pennsylvania; 1 have lived with the
good people of this Commonwealth;
have preached in their churches; I
have visited in their homes; 1 have
lectured in their great religious and
educational assemblies. / have the
touch of the common people in my
heart, and I know that they do not
need to be exploited for the narrow,
selfish aims of sordid and disappointed
politicians.
