Discussion of DR.. Martin G. Brum-
baugh as a candidate for the Repub-
| lican nomination for Governor appears
to be general all over the State and
the support being promised to the
| Philadelphia educator in the event
that he agrees to stand as a candidate
shows that he will run well. No other
| candidate has been mentioned up to
| to-day with so much favor except
Ex-Governor Edwin S. Stuart, who has
declined to be candidate.

delphia have urged that Brumbaugh

Senator Penrose also took his fling
at the Bull Moose leaders. The stating
