speech from the balcony at the front
of the building, but the time was so
limited that but few minutes elapsed
between tho close of the Colonel S
speech and his boarding of the train
in the Pennsylvania railroad station, on
the way to New York.

Chestnut street hall speech to the Board
of Trade audience. Toward the close of
his remarks when time was growing
short and he had been reminded that
train-time was fast approaching, he
said:
"Penrose is under no delusion as to
who his friends are. There is a bi-par-
tisan unanimity behind him. Make it a
non-partisan fight against him. Penrose
stands for crooked prosperity for a
few, while Pinehot stands for honest
prosperity for many.
"Dr. Brumbaugh has been most
respectable man in the past and bears
. an excellent character as an educator.
He is nothing more than staff for
Penrose in the campaign and l earnest
