TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER %
DIR. BRUNIBAUGHs SUPPORTERS

TT was inevitable that the campaign
of abuse and vilification of DIR. Mar
! tin G. Brumbaugh, the Republican
candidate for Governor. would cause
a sharp reaction in his favor. Instead
of being the choice of the alleged
liquor interests of the State, who are
giving no attention to any candidates
save those who are running for the
Senate or House. the Republican can
didate is backed by thousands and
thousands of good citizens of Pennsyl-
vania who believe in fair play. Hav-
ing submitted his name for the consid-
Grafton of the voters in the primary
election, DR.. Brumbaugh is now dis
cussing the real issues of the campaign
in an able, honest way, ignoring the
mud singing and slander of the little
men who are arrayed against him.
And having failed to assemble the
religious and temperance voters of the
State under the Democratic machine
banner the Palmer Mccormick CLIQUE
is now resorting to every insidious
scheme to deceive and befuddle the
honest men of all parties who are
rallying to the Brumbaugh standard.
But it is too late. Mud Singing has
utterly failed in this campaign, as it
has in every other campaign, to in
fuence the public mind. 1t has been
pointed out over and over again that
the real fight of the anti-liquor interests
is III the Legislature. but notwithstand
ing this self-evident proposition the
bosses OF the Anti-Saloon League.
ignoring every decent principle of fair
ness, have conferred their fight against
DR.. Brumbaugh, who has made his
position in favor of local option so
clear that even a child may under
stand.

RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT

II is unfortunate that through what
was doubtless misinformation or or
i ror in arithmetic, the Washington
party candidate for Congress mis-
represented Congressman Aaron 6
kreider in the matter of his attand-
ance at Washington. CONGRESSMAN
hreider's record for his first term has
been one of splendid achievement; He
mas during the two years of his service
IN congress won the respect not only
OF his own party but of the Democratic
side of the House as we'll. AS an in
stance, when Congressman Kreider
told Congress that it was necessary to
make an additional appropriation for
the post office at Harrisburg. Demo-
Gratis and Republicans at once took his
word for it and passed the bill. al
though it was the only one of the kind
put through during the session.
1t is so very easy to disprove the as
sertion that Congressman Kreider was
absent from Washington two-thirds of
the time and did not vote on important
measures that no sane man would
knowingly be guilty of making the
blunder into which Dr. Kreider has
fallen. The Congressional Record
shows that Congressman Kreider was
present. and voted or was paired on
every bill that came before Congress
This is a record of which any man
may we'll be proud.
DR.. Kreider displays a woeful ignor-
ance of the facts when he says the
resolution, for which Mr.. Kreider
voted, authorizing the President to
use armed force to compel Huerta to
comply with his demands, would
have plunged the country into war il
it had passed" The resolution in ques-
ton was introduced at the request OF
the President and it was passed, and
the country was not plunged into war

The action of the Wares in urging
that everyone stand up for the Re-

Messrs. Vance C. Mccormick and A.
Mitchell Palmer,


Mitchell Palmer,
Gentlemen;
A few days since letter was
made public, addressed by Presi-
dent Wilson to Representative I'm
derwood. highly lauding the work
of the Democratic Congress during
the past eighteen months.
This is natural, for every act OF
Congress has gone upon, the record
with the stamp-"Made in the
White House"
No single piece of important
legislation has had its origin In the
bodies in which the Constitution or
the United States lodges the law
making power. AS soon as one
another was presented with the
edict--"This is the next law to
pass"
A condition like this has existed
under no previous administration Oh
our history.
Never before have the legislative
and executive departments OF our
Government been thus blended ana
their duties all centered in one
man.
Never before has the individuality
of Congress been entirely lost and
the mandate of the Executive been
supreme.
is this in accord with the theory
Often during these eighteen
months of continuous session there
was lack of a quorum in Congress.
1t mattered little. There was al
ways a quorum in the White House
where the business of Congress was
done.
Is it proposed to institute SINH
lar radical governmental change in
Pennsylvania should Democracy be
successful in the State-to Keep a
Legislature in continuous session to
register the edicts of Governor
on the throne?
The plan would have ITS ad-
vantages-it would free legislators
from all responsibility or accounta-
bility to their constituents. The
ready answer to all complaints
would be-"We did what the Cover
nor ordered us to do
Was 1t with view to this new
departure in the States policy that
the present Democratic guberna-
torial candidate was selected by
President Wilson?
Wilson endorses all Democratic
Congressmen for reelection. This

House has been the common thing.
Several times letters have been
made public containing the Presi-
Dental announcement to the voters
of some State that a certain speci-
fed individual is the proper person
to elect to the Senate. Now the job
is a wholesale one. Any old thing
is good enough to send to Wash
ington, only so 1t is a Democrat.
other qualifications immaterial.
Former Presidents of our Repub-
lie have been satisfied to be the
Chief Executive of n great nation.

Il. II. MAN HAS ENOUGH
the Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
In 1912. when Theodore Roosevelt
date of the Progressive party, he re-
ceived great ovation and he received
that ovation from the Progressives and
a great many Republicans. Don't for
get that then the Democrats claimed
that Teddy was crazy and fanatic,
and now. in two short years, we see
this state and urging the people to
support one of the most pronounced
Democrats in this State for Governor,
and should Mr.. Mccormick be elected
administration at Washington would
pat you on the back and say that the
the people. Being a Roosevelt sup
porter in the past. there is one thing
that l would like to know who will be
the people who turn out to greet him?
Win they be Progressives and Repubii-
cans, or Democrats? I think there is a
way to find out. When Mr. Roosevelt
comes into this State, let him denounce
the Democratic administration at
Washington just the way he did a few
weeks ago in Louisiana, in Illinois in
Ohio, and is doing now in New, York.
tration for wanting to pay back to Co
lombia $25,000,000 and which he claims
is blackmail. Then you will know
Democrats. 1t is my belief that should
he denounce the Democratic party when
he comes to Harrisburg he will receive
ali Democrats are going to hear Teddy.
They say. he is great, and Just wish
to add this little bit. If Mr.. Roosevelt.
or those men who betrayed the WASH
ington party, think that all Washing
ton party men are going to support a
blind Democracy, let them watch the
election returns and be convinced
Ninety-five per cent. of all Progressives
believe in a protective tariff and there
is no Roosevelt or traitor to the cause
who will convince them to support a
tariff for revenue-only Democrat.
Draper Lewis did a patriotic act, but
there are thousands of Washington
party men who claim that he is the big
gest political traitor of the age

that William Draper Lewis name ap-
pears on the Roosevelt Progressive
ticket. Mr.. Lewis didn't know his
name was there, that is all. He wanted
to get out of the race in favor of Nc
Cormick. but his name is on the Of
fetal ballot because he was nominated
by an obscure little party the very
name of which he was very likely ig-
norant.
The same is true of DR.. Brumbaugh.
He never knew his name was on the
Personal Liberty ticket until the sam
pie ballots were issued. And now he
is trying to get his name off. Here is
his own explanation of a trivial Incl
dent that his enemies, desperate in
their knowledge of pending defeat,
have tried to magnify into something
of Importance:
L never heard of the party until
on Saturday, and they had no au-
thority to place my name on their
ticket. Had | been notified, as l
should have been, would have seen
to 1T at once that my name was
withdrawn. 1 have instructed my
attorney to do all in his power to
get the Secretary OF the Common
wealth to recall those ballots.

Imagine the morals of a mana
candidate for the high office of Gov

ministers that they convert the pulpit
into a political rostrum, and the as

But Mccormick, in his mad attempt
to gain votes to further his political
ambition, falters at nothing and even
the cross at the door of the church
does not deter him in his wild endea-
wort
And how accommodating He even
offers to furnish material for the ser

mass of political literature in the fol-
lowing paragraph:

ERRORS OF THE BALLOT

~ OMEBODY has asked, and quite
reasonably so: IF DR.. Brum-

does his name appear on the Per-
sonal Liberty ticket?"
The answer is-for the same reason
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-10-27


truth when in one of his CAM
- paign addresses the other day
he said: The man who does
not show himself to be a gentleman
when he is a candidate will not be a
gentleman after election"
In the heat of campaign you get
the true measure of a man. If as a
candidate he is outstanding and, as
Billy Sunday puts it, "four-square for
righteousness" he will be that kind
of man in Office. If he goes about
slandering everybody who happens to
be opposing him, splitting venom at
every utterance, crying reform and
scattering his money where votes may
be purchased, he will be the same
kind of a destructive influence in
office.
Which kind Of a man do you want
for Governor of this great State of
p Pennsylvania?

" THILE the hrst Aroor Day was
NA/ not generally OBJ serve e d
w throughout the city, it is not
too much to hope that every
effort will be put forth to have a gen.
eral planting of trees during the next
few days. The Department of Parks
has arranged to do considerable plant
ing along the river and elsewhere and
private property owners ought likewise
to do their part in increasing the
shade tree area of Harrisburg.
The work of tree planting can be
continued through November and pos
sibly into the early part of December.
Fall planting is safe and often prefer
able. Writing to the New York Sun
on the subject of a good tree we'll
planted a correspondent says:
They builded better than they
knew" who planted those beauti-
full trees more than a century ago
upon the roadways in the older por-
tions of our New England States.
How bare and forlorn and charac-
terless are many of our towns and
villages for lack of trees. With
what painful interest despite the
more serious aspect of the pres
ent war do we read in the graphic
accounts of your war correspon-
dents, who are astute and sympa-
thetic observers in such matters,
of the destruction of the trees up
on the roads and in the parks and
wooded areas in the land where the
ensanguined scenes are being en-
acted. The roads in the territory
intervening between Germany and
France are excellent and in many
parts have been notable for the
beauty and attractiveness of the
roadside trees, carefully nurtured
for generations and many of them
grown to great size and character
istic development.
These in vast numbers have been
destroyed to meet the exigencies of
war, for use as fuel, for temporary
structures, shelters, bridges, and
for general obstructive purposes,
with cruel and devastating dis
once beautiful country. In Vir-
ginia and other parts of the South
more than half a century ago the
land was in like manner dismantled
It is worth while, therefore, to
consider seriously the abundant
planting of trees. In the city. not
withstanding restricted opportu-
nifty. the property owner is advised
to plant trees; in the outlying bor-
oughs this opportunity is greatly
enlarged, by reason of the existing
rural characteristics. 1t commends
itself to the land owner since it
materially enhances the value of
his property at small cost. 1t is a
worthy enterprise as well, as 1t
benefits the neighborhood in which
he lives.
A good tree we'll planted will pay
it's way for all time.
This correspondent and those wht
have given attention to the subject o
tree planting realize how necessary I
is for the congested cities of oui
country to plant more trees for tn,
health and comfort of the people.
incidentally. the next importan
step which should be taken by TIL
City Council is the creation of Shad
Tree Commission or. in the absence o
such a commission, the appointment
under the control of the Department
of Parks, of warden who will lool
out for the trees and give them prope
attention.
