PENRosB AND HIS COMPETITORS
philadelphia Inquirer)


Like Brumbaugh, Penrose has two
competitors. Mr.. Finn has imported
Clifford Pinchot as his hand picked
Mr.. Pinchot lives in Washington and
has heretofore done his voting-when
he took the trouble to vote-in New
York. OF Pennsylvania and it's re-
quirements he is densely ignorant.
AS a Senator he would be powerless
to aid Pennsylvania in any respect
whatever Without influence, without
membership on any important COM
mittee, he would be utterly useless to
the State. Like Lewis, he has no
chance whatever of election. Also
like Lewis, his sole province is to aid
the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party presents A.
Michel Palmer, a free trader of free
traders, who boasts that he was
largely responsible for the deadly iron
and steel schedule of the Underwood
Wilson tariff. Mr.. Palmer, too, was
an unyielding opponent of the law
which looked to the building of an
American merchant marine through
the exemption of tolls for American
vessels using the Panama Canal. He
advocated and voted for it's repeal.
He represents the policies of the
Democratic administration-policies
which blighted the industries of
Pennsylvania and closed the doors of
many a mill or sent it to half time
and consequent reduced wages.
Pennsylvania has suffered severely
because of near free trade. Among
the three candidates for Senator it is
to Penrose alone that she can look
for any practical help at Washington.
Should the Republican Party gain the

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Will you kindly publish the follow
ing for the benefit of few working
men:
On last Monday evening, the 24th,
some of our men were arrested on the
hill in the rear of the Shamrock fire
house. for, you might say, nothing. OF
course, we had a small cask of beer
that we purchased and paid for and
had 1t taken out there to a place where
we thought we were away from almost
every one, and no one would be dis
turbed. But we suppose some one sent
for the police, who came and arrested
the six of us. Now, there was no one
drunk, not one, but they took us just
the same, and on the following day
they held our hearing, at which we had
no say at all. OF course, I should say
1t was their hearing they had; their say
only, and that say was IS each, which
we had to pay.
Now we feel and know that this was
not just deal but we all know that
election time is near, and we suppose
that those Democrats will need these
$40 soon, and we suppose our votes,
too. but Nit. Those Democrats could
make us cough up our hard-earned FIVE
apiece, but not our votes; no, not one.

suddenly as to bring the Administra-
ton face to face with a shortage OF

According to the figures on i'm
ports and exports issued by the De-
partment of Commerce, the July i'm
--rts aggregated $160.17s.1SS. COM
pared with s1Ss. s.o61.770 in July of last
year. The July exports were 1884,
0S2.2S5. as against $160,esO,77s. The
foreign commerce of the United States
in July. 1914, amounted to S214,260,-
35S. an increase of $14,207.S10, and
this increase was all on the side of i'm
ports. For the seven-month period
ended with July this year, the total
trade was valued at $2.342. 2.019,655, or
S3,902,157 below that for a CORES
ponding period year ago.
These figures clearly show that what
Republicans said would happen has
happened. Foreign made goods were
being brought into this country, when
the war stopped shipments, by the
million dollars worth. They were
crowding our own products, made by
well paid workmen, off the market.
The result has been idleness for thou
sands of men, and no Labor Day pa

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
Pittsburgh Gazette.1 ]

The Democratic party promised and
undertook to deliver the average
American from the high cost of living
and from the incubus of too great
success by Others" and to give new
life and prosperity to production and
commerce, but it has failed in all
three respects. The Republican party,
through the protective system, pre-
serves the opportunity to advance and
develop and to maintain the American
standard of wages, and in that it sue
ceeded marvelously under various
tariff laws, notably the Dingley and
Payne acts. After Wilson's election
and inauguration prosperity continued
right up to the day the Underwood
bill was signed, when the retrograde
movement soon set in-and it has not
yet stopped. Remember that as elec-
ton day approaches.

Congressman Butler appears to
have peeved the Democratic hierarchy
in Congress.
1t does not appear to matter
much whether there will be fusion or
not. Mccormick is going to get the

NO LABOR PARADE; WHY ;

,-OR the first time in thirty years,
H. there will be no Labor Day pa

The labor unions have decided
TO take the money the parade would

In times past, In New York city.
many thousands of union men have
marched on the first Monday in Sep
Eember Their parades have been
Spectacular. No money was spared in
making them a success. The horses
IN the parade were union-shod and the
men union-equipped. There were
union bands and union badges. There
were union-made uniforms and union
refreshments. So that the expense

parade, in one way or another, led
70 an expenditure running into a great

gone this year and the unions, very
commendably. will turn the money

This instance of practical charity
on the part of union organizations is
attracting wide attention over the
country and has caused considerable
comment, especially in view of Presi-

DIR. BRUMBAUGH's SPEECH
pittsburgh Gazette Times)

pittsburgh Gazette Times)
In formally accepting the Repub-
lican nomination for governor of
Pennsylvania at last evenings State
Committee meeting and rally in Pitts
burgh DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh
frankly stated his position and pur-
poses. He enters the campaign COM
missioned by direct nomination at
the primaries of last May and stands
squarely on the policies he declared
in the Spring. These include JUS
tice to labor, good roads, local option,
state civil service, submission of the
amendment providing for woman's
suffrage, reorganiZed treatment of
public charities. and wider freedom in
municipal regulation.
DR.. Brumbaugh promises the peo-
pie of the state that he will not abate
principle for preferement. He pro-
poses to travel the straight road. He
submits his record as a guarantee that
he can be relied upon to keep his
pledges and do his duty He re-
pudiates any notion that he Is ham
pered by alliances which bind him to
punish enemies or reward friends.
He invites all men who are progress
sively Republican to join him in the
project further to advance the COM
monwealth.
Dr. rBrumbaugh's reminder of the de-
NClOPll6ltS VI lWO years ago. Ol lTG
manner in which opportunists misled
voters out of the party, and of the
shifty character of the platform Of
this particular opositlon, is timely and
pointed. With these matters DIR.
| Brumbaugh has no connection one
way or the other. He comes before
the people free of the heritage of old
sores and contentious, with native
pride and qualification in the progress
made by Pennsylvania under Repub-
lican auspices, and prepared with that
splendid vigor and wholesome en-
thusiasm which has won him high
distinction in the field of American
education to go forward with the
states work, constructively, refor-
matively and aggressively, as the de-
mands of existing conditions and en-
lightened intelligence require.
DR.. Brumbaugh created a good i'm
preston last night. His personality
is magnetic and winning. His manner
is friendly and sincere. His abilities
are brilliant and commanding. His
presence is cheerful and inspiring
He will make an effective campaigner
because he means what he says and
knows how to say what he means.
His speech merits reading throughout.

A RETURN TO SANITY

[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. ]
A return to sanity has been evident
in the political world for some time.
We pointed out more than a month ago
that the primaries in the Middle West
demonstrated this fact. Impetus to the
bareback from demagogy has been
given by the great war. It has brought
the American people up short, sobered
them, taught them the danger of en-
trusting their affairs to babblers and
experimentalists. visionaries and muck
rakers, who are thirsty for public sal
ary and blatant notoriety The tragedy
of the times forbids recklessness.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 2s
BRUNrBAUGHs STAND

R. MARTIN G. BRUMBAUGHs
declaration in favor of a sub
u mission of the local option
proposition to the people will
katisfy all it's supporters save those
Nwho are more interested in playing
politics than they are in the success
of the measure itself. Coincident
with the announcement of his candi-
hacy in the primary campaign the
distinguished gubernatorial nominee
Of the Republican party declared:
i The problem of the liquor traf-
nc is vital one. 1 submit that local
option is a practical solution.
In the same declaration of prtn-
ciples DR.. Brumbaugh said:
I agree that we need a moral
standard in all public service. I
welcome a campaign upon the great
moral issues of the day. Let us be
honestly frank and frankly honest
with the people.
And in his Pittsburgh speech, reaf-
E1rming the pledges of his primary
platform, he said:
For these I now stand For them
shall stand steadily to the end.
No other course could appeal to me
as honest and just. The army of
goodly men who voted for me in
May did so upon that platform. 1
ask them and their fellow-citizens
to do so in November. They can do
so confidently Having put my hand
to the plow, / shall not look back,
but forward, plowing as straight a
furrow as I know how to plow-as
straight as God helps me to plow.
These are the words of a sincere
and honest man who means to deal
fairly with the people and to stoop to
no deception to win their votes
It is going to be impossible for the
ambitious coterie that has purchased
control of the Democratic party for a
little time to persuade the voters of
Pennsylvania that the Republican
ticket is not immeasurably superior
IN every way to the boss-chosen and
White House-sponsored combination
brrayed against It..
So that while a few weeks must
blapse before the verdict of the people
shall have been recorded there can be
no doubt in the minds of those who
are at all in touch with public senti-
ment and the trend of public opinion
as to the result. The election of the
Republican State ticket by a large
vote Is assured.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-28

= the Palmer Mccormick faction
find nothing to commend in the
Republican nominees or the platform
of principles enunciated by the State
committee at Pittsburgh. They pre-
tend to believe that the party is
welded to its idols and is reactionary
beyond recovery.
Unfortunately for the little mon
who are wabbling around in the shoes
of such men as Randall and Wallace
and Wolverton and other Democrats
of their type. they cannot appreciate
or understand the progressive record
of the party which they now profess
to detest.
So we'll assured are the Republican
leaders of the substantial sympathy of
thousands of voters not Identified with
the Republican party, but who will
support its candidates this year. that
the closing plank of the Pittsburgh
platform has peculiar significance. It
is an open invitation to all voters to
rally to the colors of the party of
protection and prosperity and reads
as follows:
We ask the support of all Penn
sylvanians in our efforts to bring
about the restoration of prosperity
to Pennsylvania and extend a cor
dial welcome to all electors, regard,
less of past party affiliations, who
are in sympathy with this declara-
tion of principles.
Perhaps nothing in the whole situa-
ton has so disturbed the dreams of
the McCormicks and Palmers as the
rapidly gathering clouds of Demo-
cratic unrest and disfavor. Building
up a political machine upon resent
ment and hate and revenge is a diff
cult job, as these little men have dis
covered. Instead of welding together
the elements of the discordant Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania, they have
done everything within their power
to still further antagonize those who
have been out of Joint with the re-
organization faction. And, as a result
of this course of action, there are to-
day in Pennsylvania a hundred thou
sand Democrats who have decided to
unhorse the accidental leaders who
are now riding for a fall
Instead of disbursement, such as
weakened the Republican organiza-
| ton two years ago, there is now con-
fidence and harmony and determine
ton among Republicans everywhere
throughout the State to restore to
power and influence in the national
counsels the party whose record has
been one of constant progress and
substantial achievement. Not in many
years has there been such an align
ment of employer and employe with
one purpose-the restoration of pros
perity and the welfare of all the
people-as in the present campaign.
1t is, therefore, of little moment
what the Palmers and the McCor-
micks and their sponsors may say or
do in the present contest. The
voters have already made up their
minds and the overwhelm triumph
of the Republican party November 9
is as certain as that day follows night.

1t is asserted. as a. result OF District
