flesh. On the way from the station to
the hall the general remark was made
that the Colonel seemed all right, and
at the station, where it took twelve
railroad policemen to hold back the
crowd he pushed his way as vigorously
as ever. And he had hrs smile with
him as the great crowds that eheered
him at every street corner discovered.
Several times while on the way to the
hall he leaned out to speak to some
more vociferous admirer, but the music
of the Municipal band, which headed
the procession of automobiles, drowned
what the Colonel was saying.
Turns Attack on Penrose
The Colonel had some of the same
old 1912 punch in his remarks, and
that is what the crowd wanted. When
Mr.. Pinchot, at the end of his remarks,
said:
''I make way for the man who is
the most prominent figure in the whole
world Colonel Roosevelt jumped to
his feet and stepped forward, looking
full of fight and aggressive as ever.
Then the cheering burst forth afrcsh
and it was some, minutes be.oge he
could begin. He waved his hand FOX
silence, and began with "Mr. Chair.
man. to the venerable blind states,
man, former Senator A. +. Thompson
of Lykens, who presided ''and you
men and women of Harrisburg. 1t is q
matter of pride for me to come here
to speak to you to-day in behalf of Mr.
Pinchot.'
He said he owed much to Pennsyl
vania both for standing by him at the
primary and general elections two
years ago, and he would try to make
his friends feel no sense of shame il
standing by him.
81 am here to speak for Pinchot
Mccormick and the entire Washington
party tieket,' he said. Then he turned
on the batteries against Penrose In
New York. he said, instead of one bis
boss they have two and each begs the
people to vote against the other.
"They put up puppets,'' he shouted
"but. praise the Lord, Penrose has pu
up himself. (Laughter).
cit is distressing to me- he said
"that after four years, since Penrose' ;.
character was laid bare, men who claim
to be respectable should set an exampl,
by supporting him. Then he raised hi
hand and said in loud voice:
"Touch not the unelean thing"
The crowd howled
The Colonel s Love Pats
"They say they support Penrose be
cause they want to get back prosperity
He is the sorest foe of prosperity. II
there is one man who lacks a job, il
is Penrose,' and again the crowt
laughed. "He threw this country int
the hands of the Democrats with hi
eyes open, because he preferred it rath
er than see an honest man vim
"Penrose promises prosperity-h'
never keeps his promises. What kind o.
prosperity would you get at the hands

never hit soft.'
Then the Colonel turned his atten
tion to the gtlbernatorial nominee, DR.
Brumbaugh, who, he said, was Penrose :
stalking horse.
81 m for Mccormick. - shouted tn
Colonel. and once more the crowd wen
wild with cheering.
Brumbaugh is running on the Per
sonal Liberty ticket. hut he says he i
against it's principles, - said the Colonel
and cynical smile crept over his face
''He said he didn't know that part,
or its principles, but it took him
month to find out after he was nomi
mated and too late to get off the ticket
If he didn't know all about it, he i
too innocent-he is q woolly lamb no
to be trusted out at night If that s hi
state of mind. he would find himsel
awful lonely if he got into the Stat
government. Brumbaugh is led alon,
by the three soiled children-Penrose
McNichol and Ware. The three joine,
and nominated the woolly lamb, an,
once they get him in public life the,
will shear him short and divide th
fleece among them.
''Do Not Vote for Palmer
"And so l ask you to support Nc

opposed in national policies, but here il

Here the Colonel halted and locke
around.

as he looked at his watch. Being al
sured that he was on time, he resumed
