Pittsburgh Story Tells How the
Rival Senatorial Candi-

The compact which has long been
rumored between A. Mitchell Palmer
and Clifford Pinchot to abstain from
humping each other and to concen-
trate their fire on Boies Penrose has
been broken forty ways, says the Phil
adelphia Press to-day in a very cir
cumstantial story from Pittsburgh
The Press story appears to have
been borne out by the manner in
which Roosevelt yesterday attacked
Palmer and by the criticisms Palmer
and Pinchot have been leVelling at
each other. The Press says that an
agreement had been reached In Pits
burgh and declares:
1T now develops that the plan pro-
ceeded smoothly until the time for the
second conference which was the day
before the time limit for withdrawal,
October 10. Then William Finn ap-
peared as the Pinchot champion. He
argued strenuously that Palmer should
withdraw for two reasons:
First, that w. Draper Lewis, the
Washington party candidate for Gov
ernor, had withdrawn in favor of
Vance c. Mccormick. Second, that
Roosevelt carried Pennsylvania in the
last Presidential election. and. that
in the event of Palmer's withdrawal
Roosevelt would come into Pennsylva-

fight for Pinchot until election day.

PARTY NAMING HIM

mated Until Oct. 22; Is Trying
to Get Name Off; Makes a
Pledge

Philadelphia, Oct. 27.-Dr. MartiI
G. Brumbaugh, Republican candidate
for Governor, to-day issued n state
ment, repudiating the action of the
Personal Liberty party in making hin
Its candidate for governor.
The statement says:
II learned for the first time on
October %, that L was on the
Personal Liberty ticket as n nomi-
nee for Governor. No one ever
suggested to me the intention to
name me on this party's ballot, in
fact 1 did not know there was
such n ballot or such a party. Had
been consulted or informed I
should certainly have declined to
the nomination because / sought
only the Republican nomination..
/ do not know what this party
stands for, have never seen its
principles, and know no one in its
organization, but had learned in
directly that IL is presumably ia
vorable to the liquor interests.
Immediately after learning
that my name appeared upon this
party'S ballot / consulted my at
torneys and directed them to have
my name removed. They, they
have informed me, is impossible
under present election laws.
ct therefore, hereby and in the
strongest language at my COM
mand repudiate utterly Its en-
dorsement of me, and pledge my
self, if elected governor to de-
mand the immediate enactment
of such legislation as will make IL
absolutely impossible hereafter in
Pennsylvania for any mans name
to be placed upon g ballot without
his written consent"
