Boom Launched
The Presidential boom of the Gov
ernor-elect was launched when Rep
.resentative Ware declared that he was
the man "who caused a stampede
back to the Republican party in Penn
sylvania," and asserted that when
the time comes the people of Penn
sylvania will offer DR.. Brumbaugh to
the people of the nation as pro-
lection and prosperity President He
also spoke vigorously of the need for
reconciling promises with pledges on
the part of public men.
The tension of the political enthu-
siasts present reached its highest pitch
with DR.. Brumbaughs assertion of
his independence. He recalled the
oath to which the young man of
Athens was called upon to subscribe
when he presented himself for citi-
zenship. He said this oath was to
protect the laws and principles of the
State, with the support of his com
rades If he had their support, but
| singly, if need be. This was the
I principle which DR.. Brumbaugh as
serted would guide his own admin
| istration at Harrisburg.
There were about seventy guests at
| the dinner. They were seated about
table, the center of which was
banked with high roses. Around the
room were ferns and trees. In in
PRODUCING Governor Brumbaugh
Congressman Ware said:
Congressman Ware Speaks
! "My friends. the purpose of this lit
| tie gathering was to have you meet
the Governor-elect of Pennsylvania.
Governor Brumbaugh's political
achievement in Pennsylvania at the
last election was a most striking DEM
onstration of the power of clean,
strong and fearless personality.
1.-THE result of DIR. Brumbaugh's s
lcandidacy was virtual banishment
of the Progressive party from the
State of Pennsylvania. With the OPP
! position to him united, he neverthe-
less had a majority of 145,0OO over
the combined vote of his opponents.
''In reuniting the Republican party
of the State of Pennsylvania, which
has always been known as the Key
stone State, DIR. Brumbaugh has per-
formed service to the Republican
party throughout the nation. He is
'the man who caused the stampede
back to the party in his own State,
which was the stronghold of the Pro-
gressives.
''While working for justice to the
ipeopIe of Pennsylvania, the new Gov
ernor will work at the same time for
the general prosperity of the State,
for without that there cannot be pros
Iperity, employment and high wages
to the working people on any condi-
tions.
1--WE may not be able to restore
prosperity because that depends al
most untirely upon the tariff policies
of the national government, but when
the time comes the people of Penn
sylvania will offer Dr. Brumbaugh to
the people of the nation as a pro-
lection and prosperity President. And
if he should be called to that high
loffice, the American people will have
reason to be proud of Pennsylvania S
gift to the nation"
Outlines Work For People
Replying. Dr. Brumbaugh said:
I'VE meet tonight in the capital
of the nation to think of Pennsylva-
MIA and her great claim upon all of
us.
Having given my life to the edu-
cational work of our State, j am glad
to meet men whose experience in pub
lie life makes their counsel of value
and their support a blessing. We can,
by bringing our several experiences
together, work out a program of SER
vice for our people of great value
The program of service is but an ex-
precision of the needs of a people.
am hoping that we may so serve them
