sisted that the deposit was to bear inter

Germ not by a way OF extending his credit
but as convenience for all his transac-
tons in the purchase Of materials from
different wholesale houses in this city
He said that the money had been de-

Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-26

Churchmen. both of the clergy and
cial movements have issued a call for
rally around DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh
for Governor.
Coincident with the issuance of this
Doctor Brumbaugh that he was inves-
tigating the Personal Liberty party,
and ii he found the party was the
agent of the liquor traffic, would at
once issue a formal statement re-
pudiating its Endorsement of him.
Equally significant with the call OF
the local option advocates and Doctor
Brumbaugh's statement on the Per-
sonal Liberty party was the publish
ing of a list OF candidates to be sup
ported by the liquor interests. And
this list does not contain the name of
Doctor Brumbaugh.
In this connection statements ac-
credited to Billy" Sunday were denied
yesterday by the evangelist in a tele-
gram. He said positively that he was
not opposed to Doctor Brumbaugh.
Personal Pledge Valued
In the public statement issued by
churchmen attention is drawn to the
fact that Doctor Brumhaugh's per-
sonal pledge to support local option
legislation carries even more weight
than any political platform which
could be framed" and his record, as
public man and private citizen. is cited
to show that. as Governor. he will be
a tower of strength. not only to local
option, but TO every moral reform.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-26

The concluding paragraph of the
statement calls attention to the fact
that the really vital problem before
the friends of local option in Pennsyl-
vania this year is the election of State
pass a local option bill, and declares
that this important point has appar-
emily been overlooked in great
measure.
Men who signed the statement in
every case volunteered. All signers are
known for achievements in the cause
of temperance. AS churchmen they
are indorsing a low-churchman, for
Doctor Brumbaugh is not only one OF
the nations foremost educators, but he
is also a minister of the Gospel. AS a
Sunday school worker he represented
the United States at the world con-
ference held in Geneva last year.
