And Philadelphia Will Give as
Much More For Brumbaugh,
Says Campaign Manager
QUICK REPLY FOR MCCORMICK
Mccormick Framed in Significant
Yellow Boullion Color on
Bull Moosers Banner

Committee.
When the claim made by Vance c.
Mccormick. fusion gubernatorial can
didate. that he would come to Phila-
| delphia with 100000 votes more than
his opponent. was called to Mr.. HATS
attention he said:
"Our canvass has. been carefully
made. We wanted to get at the facts
as closely as we could. 1 wish to say
that as a result of that careful canvass
believe that DR.. Brumbaugh will
come to Philadelphia with 100000
votes more than his opponent and that
this majority will be increased in
Philadelphia by at least 100000 and
probably by $4,000 additional"
That the Methodist clergymen who
recently went on record as opposing
the candidacy of DR.. Martin G. Brum-
! baugh represented only
themselves is the opinion
| of Thomas R. Fort. Jr. Methodist
| Mr.. Fort is a widely Laymen for
| known business man Brumbaugh
| and church worker. He
was chairman of the lay
delegation to the Methodist General
| Conference held at Minneapolis in
May. 1912. He is also identified with
nearly all the movements of the
| church in this vicinity. Mr. Fort was
active in the political upheaval in Phila-
| delphia in 1906 and in 1905 was elected
| to select council from the Twenty
fifth ward, having the Republican,
Democratic. Lincoln and City party
| nominations. In a letter he says:
| After much thought upon the subject
and having read the views of various
newspapers, 1 feel impelled to address
you with respect to the candidacy of
Martin G. Brumbaugh for the high
office of Governor of our Common
wealth. BY preference 1 am a Re-
| publican, but am not by any means a
partisan. 1 believe in good men more
than in political parties. hence, when
the political party of my preference
selects such men as DIR. Brumbaugh
for office my requirements are met,
and consistency with myself prompts
me to give him my support, moral and
otherwise. Dr. Brumbaugh Is we'll
known as high type Christian gen.
tleman. A man of force, of strong
i personality, not swayed by other men
just to agree with them, but does his
own thinking and acting. These quail
ties have been we'll shown in his edu-
cational work in this city. 1t is due. to
such man that his fellow-men shall
trust him. Just at this time the saloon
. QuSSllOn Is In6
of many of us. We believe for the
good of all our people the sooner the
! saloon is thing of the past the better
for every community. My personal
confidence in DR.. Brumbaugh is SUCH
if he is elected to the office of Gov
ernor of this Commonwealth, he will
do all in his power to advance the
cause of temperance throughout our
State. 1 take this position on the
basis of the strong moral character of
the man. Surely the good character
of the man has some claim upon his
fellows"
That the Democratic organization
in Pennsylvania, headed by A. Nit
Ichell Palmer, senatorial candidate,
recommended success
ors to Drs. d. c. Huff
Democrats man and John Porter,
Grabbing of McKeesport, and
Last Jobs Thomas d. Davis, of
Pittsburgh, as pension
surgeon examiners in
!. the Pittsburgh district. was the ad-
mission by Commissioner of Pensions
G. M. Saltzgaber in Washington. The
commissioner added that the appoint
ment of examining surgeons was the
only political patronage left in the
Pensions Bureau, and that Democrats
are filling vacancies when they occur
with members of their own party.
Since the campaign opened the ene-
mics of the Republican party have
been much disappointed with the at
titude of Colonel Roose-
! welt in this campaign. 1t
will be remembered that Roosevelt
before Colonel Roosevelt Tours Not
returned from the South Extensive
American trip it was
stated that he would
! spend at least one month in PennsyI-
vania, and that his only ambition in
life was to bring about the defeat of
Senator Penrose. Instead OF follow
ing this course, Colonel Roosevelt has
given Finn and the other wreckers
but scant consideration. He delivered
one speech in Pittsburgh early in the
summer, in which he attacked the
Wilson Administration and made only
slight reference to Senator Penrose.
A few weeks ago he spoke in Phila-
delphia and his address, from a Wash
ington party standpoint, was very dis
appointing. Now he is billed to make
four days tour of the State in COM
pliance with promise he made some
time ago, but those close to him ad-
NIT that his heart is not in the cam
paign in Pennsylvania.
The framing of Vance c. McCor-
mick in bullion gold on the Wash
ington party banner in Market street
while the rest of the
ticket has to go as it was
Playing originally is occasioning
Both Ends much comment. The
as Usual appearance of the golden
frame is, however, very
gratifying as 1t is taken
as happy forecast of what the Bull
Moosers will have on election day.
However, the men of the Palmer Nc
Cormick League are looking down
their noses because of the participa-
ton of the Bull Moosers In the funds
Incidentally they are wondering why
Mccormick was framed in gold on
the Bull Moose banner whereas he is
framed in shamrock green on the Pal
mer- Mccormick League. Mccormick
appears in both orange and green.
