TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 10
PARTY ENTHUSIASM.

IT was an enthusiastic and aggressive
body of Republicans which cele-
i brated the twelfth anniversary of
the Harrisburg Republican Club
last night. There was distinct atmos-
phere of battle in the speech making
and throughout the evening there was
manifest disposition to forget all diff
ferences of the past and to unite for
an old-time victory next November.
Perhaps nothing was more conspicu-
Gus in the talks of the evening than
the aroused party sentiment and the
confidence of the club members and
their guests in the outcome of the cam
paign which begins with the close of
the primary to-day. Two years ago
such a reunion occasion would hardly
have been possible, but the isues which
interfered with harmonious action in
the 1912 campaign no longer rise to
and Dauphin county.
There are still few men who per-
sist in maintaining third party or
ganization, but even this number is
growing smaller every day. By-gones
arc to be by-gones and throughout the
campaign there is going to be a thor
ough cementing of all the groups into
one strong and aggressive party move
ment for the election of the entire Re-
publican ticket.

POLITICAL SIDELICHTS

Mr.. Bryan and his followers in
the Pennsylvania Democratic machine
probably wish that the tolls plank was

Anyway, 1t would seem that Eu-
gene c. Bonniwell had a good time
during the campaign.
Incidentally, it might be added
that Bonniwell was not the only one
to be "unmasked" during the primary
campaign.
Palmer last night claimed McCor-
mick's election by $4,000. Ryan said
when Palmer first made that claim
that it would rank as one of the
"curiosities of political literature.
Judge Kunkels neighbors were
rallying day to show that booming

their liking.
There appear to be some differ
ences of opinion at Washington about

CONFIDENCE Is NEEDED

USINESS men and thoughtful
- citizens generally are of one mind
- on the general proposition that
no restoration of prosperity can
be brought about until there shall first
nave been return of confidence. With
everything in shape for a splendid
advance all along the line things con-
tinue at a standstill and the conclu-
sion of those who are able to diagnose
the situation is that there is too much
legislation and too little confidence in
our national leaders.
Business conditions have been
growing steadily worse under the as
saults of the administration at Wash
ington and to-day business and in
dustrial leaders throughout the coun-
try are waiting the results of the
primary elections to learn whether
there is to be a continuance of these
assaults or suspension of the attacks.
We must go either forward or back
ward. There is no such thing as
standing still. While the crop outlook
is bright and hopeful, even the bounty
Of nature cannot entirely overcome the
foolishness of man when he is deter
mined to upset what is provided for
his happiness and welfare.
AS has been suggested over and over
again. there are too many demagogues
and cheap politicians for the good of
the country. These little men seem
determined to foist themselves into
places of power where they can do
further damage by theoretical legisIa-
ton and experimental clap-trap.
While Germany and other great ma
tions are encouraging their Industrial
leaders to still further achievement

VISITING OUR NEIGHBORs.

VISITING OUR NEIGHBORS.
TOMORROW morning a large
delegation representing the Har-
risburg Chamber of Commerce
will start on tour of the neigh
boring towns and cities with a view to
binding in closer bond the interests
of Central Pennsylvania and the Capt.
tai City. Preparations have been made
for an interesting jaunt which will
cover York, Lancaster and interven-
ing towns tomorrow and Lebanon and
several other neighboring towns or
Thursday.
The object of this trip is to advertise
Harrisburg in a distinctive and
friendly way to nearby towns and
cities and hear from them what they
are doing and how they are doing i,
and to broaden our trade relations
with these places by making personal
acquaintance of customers and friends
in their own places of business.
Harrisburg is the center of large
commercial and Industrial territory
and the fact that it has become the
distributing point of so many import
ant industries leads the Chamber OF
Commerce to believe that this city can
be even more useful to the district OF
which it is the metropolis.
This is constructive work on the
part of the main business organization
and there is no doubt that the tour OF
the next two days will result in more
friendly relation between Harrisburg
and the several cities and towns in
cluded in this first swing around the
circle.

BRUMBAUGH IN PORTO RICO


will emerge from the primary
- scrimmage to-day with public
confidence in his unusual quail
fcations for the gubernatorial office
and a strong undercurrent among men
of all parties favorable to his election
next November. Among all the can
didates mentioned none could or
would serve the State more effectively
or more conscientiously," says the
Rev. DR.. Russell H. Conwell in a letter
a day or two ago to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
So well fitted in every way is DR..
Brumbaugh for the office of governor
that his nomination is regarded as a
Inauguration as Governor Tener's sue
cessor Owing to the fact that he has
had little or no opposition in the pri-
mary, DR.. Brumbaugh's name has not
appeared as frequently as it will dur
ing the main contest, but enough has
been said by those who know him
best to convince the people that his
choice will be satisfactory in every
way.
Perhaps the most conspicuous con-
structive work in his great career as
an educator was the organization OF
the school system of Porto Rico al
the close of the Spanish-Americar
war. Commissioner Lindsay, who sue
ceeded DR.. Brumbaugh on the island
in a report telling of the difficulties
encountered, says:
At the outset I desire to express
my high appreciation of the mag
nificent work already accomplished
Brumbaugh, of the University of
Pennsylvania. 1t was an enormous
task to create out of the chaos in
matte matters sns Of p9bie instruction
and out of the small beginnings in
the direction of a public school
system made by. the military au-
thorities of the United States dur
a splendid school system for a
population of million people,
operating under a comprehensive
aap naped bv fbe law pre-
enacted by the insular Legislature.
The creation of an enthusiasm for
education on the part of the people,
the erection of large number Of
school buildings, the selection of
modern school apparatus and
school supplies. the, enrolment at
year of S2,3O2 children in 7SO
schools. and last, but not least, the
organization of a department of
go,Nertnmseant go,nst nsa with an able and eff
1t is work which reflects unop
Dr. Brumbaugh and upon those
who were associated with him in
! est credit and deserves the thanks
or the American people. 1t has
placed his name high on the roll
of public benefactors in Porto Rico,
! ana IT Is public service which
the future historian of the United
States Will not fail to record.
| DR.. Brumbaugh's life story is on,
of constant achievement through grea
ability, industry and the working OIL
of high ideals for the benefit of tn,
people. Pennsylvania will take n,
backward step with such a man at th,
head of her affairs, and the fact tha
he comes from that body of sturd,
people in the Juniata Valley and un
derstands the methods of thought ant
the aspirations of our mixed popula
ton, gives the eminent educator an,
executive unusual equipment for tn,
gubernatorial office.
Thousands of people already know
him and thousands more all over tn,
State will better understand and ap
ipreciate the wisdom of his nomina
tion before they make him governo
next November.
