This prediction was made to-nisht oy

opporent Of Senator Penrose for the ne
nuh,,ean nomination for United States
senator. at a rally OF Republicans here.
He had q rousing reception. am ne wa
sseured that he would carry Blair snu

explained tonight.
There is every indication that PEN
rose and Penroseism will be crushed de-
cisivelv al the primaries" said MI DIM
mick positively. The voters OF TINS
state have long since been tired OF PEN
rose. but this is the first opportunity
they have had directly TO express their
disapproval Of him and his methods by
casting q vote against him.
I'm my tours of the state have been
immersed profoundly by the deep rooted
antagonism 10 Senator Penrose and the
tvpe Of politics he represents. No amount
Of speechmaking, no lavish expenditure
Of campaign funds. no wholesale distri-
button Of literature designed 20 enthuse
the voters over the senior senator VIII
suffice in this campaign. People do not
have confidence in Penrose. He has worn
out his welcome IN this state, and ne
cannot inspire confidence BY raising the
cry of hard times, closed mills and soup
houses"

element is solidly aligned against rem
rose. who has the support of the liquor
interests. The Anti-Saloon League oil
PENNSYLVANIA has indorsed the candidacy
of Mr.. Dimmick and has enlisted its
WORKERS in all the counties in the state
i'm his behalf.
This temperance feeling is so pro-
rounced that Senator Penrose in the last
lap Of his campaign is taking every pre-
caution against becoming openly allied
with representatives of the liquor trafhc
in the various centres he is visiting.
He is advising his followers who are
making arrangements for MIN IN ad-
vance Of his arrival in the various towns
and cities to see TO II that no liquor
men are on the reception committee.
pinrmick is definite in what he says
on the regulation of the liquor question
in PENNSYLVANIA. Penrose is silent. the
influence Of Penrose has killed local
option bill in two sessions Of the Legs
lature in the state. Here is what DIM
mick declared tonight TO the tribune
CORRESPONDENT on this Issue:
eft Is the shame Of Pennsylvania that
more than any other state in the Union
she stands pilloried for the alliance be-
tween the liquor traffic and her political
life-in short, Penroseism. Any pollt
