throughout this Commonwealth are
STILL when miles of tracks are covered
with empty freight cars and idle en-
gines, we cannot keep our attention
fro mthe great problems of the right
TO labor at good wage for every man
in the State.
Many eXperimenters have come to
you,' he said, with various political
endearances urging you to step aside
from your well-known path of prog
ress and. prosperity and by supporting
them and those giving them office to
gain some mysterious good which they
cannot name.
For two years now we have had
taste of the new type of rule, and we
know in Pennsylvania the result so
well that we have no fear that it shall
be prolonged.
I'VE feel confident that the men of
this state, men of the thinking citizen
ship of the Commonwealth. will return
to the Republican party in order to re-
new the era of prosperity"

good roads and the extension of man
ual training in the schools under the
code he helped to frame. He guar
anteed the same quality of service if

Labor Cheers Penrose
A dispatch from Pittsburgh says:
THE great army of wage-earners in
the Pittsburgh Industrial district will
line up almost solidly for Senator Pen
rose. This was indicated by series
of demonstrations over his candidacy
for reelection at Labor Day celebra-
tions here to-day. The senator at
tended five gatherings of workingmen
in Allegheny county, at each of which
he was cheered as the leading ex-
ponent of protective tariff systems in
this country and the man whose con-
tinuance in the public service is ur-
gently demanded by the labor and
capital of Pennsylvania. Republican
leaders declared tonight that the re-
ception accorded Senator Penrose to-
day seldom had been equaled in the
record of any other candidate in Alle-
gheny county.
The senator reviewed the Labor Day
parade and as the parade approached
the reviewing stand James Mckee, of
the brfcklayers' union and prominent
in la bor circles, who was marshal, rode
over to the reviewing stand and after
saluting shook hands with the senator.
The crowd cheered for Penrose.
In the parade were banners bearing
the inscription, "a vote foraPenrose is
a vote for the fun pay envelope"
Western Pennsylvania must be busy
industrially to be prosperous. Penrose
Will aid in bringing back prosperity"
'Penrose, the man who has always
sought to keep labor working" and
others emphasizing the senior SEN
ator's advocacy of protective tariff
principles.
There was an outburst from the
crowd in front of the reviewing stand
over a huge picture of Senator PEN
rose at the head of the second division
as the workingmen passed the stand
they cheered for Penrose.
After the parade the senator ad-
dressed the crowd. He was preceded
by Mayor Armstrong. The mayor was
formerly glassblower, and for years
has been identified with union labor.
The Sldcshow
Congressman Palmer went to Craw-
ford and Erie counties yesterday to
make speeches and to smooth down
the warning factions by the lake. He
succeeded in making two speeches,
which were spread broadcast, but not
in bringing peace to the party scrap
pers. Erie and Crawford are regarded
as certain to go Republican. While
Palmer was speaking in the North
west Vance c. Mccormick was strug-
Cling to pose as a friend of labor in
Armstrong county. He took advan-
tage of Labor Day celebrations to
make a speech which caused smiles
among those who recall his attitude
in regard to municipal labor rates, as
owner of coal lands and the union
label. He scolded as usual.
Dean Lewis spoke at Arnot, Tioga
county, with much vigor. He unwit-
tingly gave support to Brumbaugh by
urging the voters to scan the personal
characters of the candidates for Gov
ernor.
