of German trade and thereby inf1u-

fast encroaching on EngIand's world

commerce was to go to war with
Germany, capture her ships, para

Germany likewise has always

Brumbaugh Outlines
Policies to NeighborS

Dr. Brumbaugh's voice shook with
emotion as he addressed the great
throng gathered to greet him in his
old home town. He said. in part:
my neighbors and friends of the
dear old home valley:
you cannot know with what depth
of feeling I meet you here at home
tonight. When l was considering the
advisability of submitting my candi-
dacy to the people of Pennsylvania at
the May primary the great question in
my mind was not. can I be nominated
and elected, but 1t was this-what will
the home folks think about it? For,
my friends, I would rather live in the
enjoyment of your united regard and
good will than in the possession of any
preferment from the hands of the
people at large. 1 could not think of
losing in the heat of partisan cam
paign any of the lifelong friends here
at home. love this dear old county,
it's hills and valleys. its farms and its
firesides, its people who sleep in its
cemeteries and it's people who make 1t
smile with the fruits of industry and
with the rewards of honest endeavor.
One can never be true to himself IL
he be not true to his neighbors and
to his God.
"You all know me we'll You
have seen me grow to manhood in
your public schools and in Juniata
College. You have seen me in the

uberance my Country, 'Tis of Thee"
1t was a thrilling climax to the
warmth of a reception such as has
never been surpassed in the Juniata
valley.
DR.. Brumbaugh is a forceful and
magnetic speaker. He talked as one
would expect a man of the people to
talk and he impressed all who heard
him with his sincerity and truth and
with the fact that he means what he
says and will do what he says he will
do.
