six speeches yesterday
and found conditions
PenrOse in nightly i'm p r e d.
City Plans The senator said that
Hot Speech he was going to speak
in York county to-day
and might have a few
words to add to his analysis of Nc
Cormick, fusion and campaign eX-
penses. DIR. Brumbaugh was in the
northwestern counties, receiving the
greetings of many friends and gain
ing every minute. DR.. Brumbaugh
will spend the weekend in Philadel-
phia, where a great committee has
been named to help the fight for him.
DR.. Brumbaugh has gained. because
of the transparent Vaccinations of
McCormick's men and the Harrisburg
er's abusive tactics.
In the State there is regular up
heaval over the fusion dickering.
Democrats are swearing that Palmer
shall not be sacrificed
for the squatter candi-
date from Pike coun Palmer and
ty and last night Pal Smith Say
mer d e C AIRED at To Retreat
S a n t o n that he
would not retire, but
would fight to the end. Inasmuch as
Dean Lewis said some weeks ago that
he would not retire. Palmer did not
get as many pieces of fireworks set
off as he hoped. In the western end
Percy f. Smith, Washington candi-
date for lieutenant-g said he
intends to stay in the fight to the
finish. The friends of Fred E. Lewis
and the Washington congressional
candidates are demanding that the
Democrats give something and State
Chairman Roland S. Morris, of the
No., e. tr., 4 4
in Philadelphia that nothing more can
be given. The Democratic bosses are
afraid to come out for Pinchot until
sentiment appears. And right on
top of it all John Gribbel, vice-presi-
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger,
writes letter in which he says that
Penrose is the man to elect.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger,
which has been courted by the Dem
ocratic machine bosses, says regard
ing the revolt in the
Washington party in a
Finn Is dispatch from p tits
Upset by burgh. Heroic meas
the Row ures were taken to-day
to put down the rebel
lion within the ranks Of
the Progressives over the elimination
of Dean Lewis in favor of Vance Nc
COrmick. The outright promise was
made, it is charged by the insurgents,
that Vance McCormick's millions will
be at the disposal of the fusion forces
to conduct the State fight, both part
les to fusion being helped, and that
Mccormick will spend money in local
contests, particularly in the legislative
districts.
However, the revolt among Pro-
gressives took definite shape to-day
when r. r. Quay was approached with
a request to lead the forces now
thoroughly disgusted with Finn and
Van Valkenburg. He was commune
Gated with by men who said they
could rally the majority of the Pro-
gressives. Emissaries of Finn work
ed late last night endeavoring to lull
baking Progressives into the appro-
val of the Flinn-Van Valkenburg deal
and Finn remained up late getting
reports from the field. These were far
from reassuring."
From the time of the formal open
ing yesterday morning of the Brum-
baugh citizens committee campaign
headquarters in Phil
adelphia, un TIL t h e
doors were closed, an Brumbauch
stream of Committee
telephone calls TO Enlarge
and letters occupied
the attention OF Secfe-
tary James s. Hiatt. who was in
char~c. Scores of Republicans, regu-
lar and independent, some always with
the party, others only recently re-
turned members, called, phoned or
wrote for the privilege of subscribing
to the pledge to support Brumbaugh
for election and to be enrolled as
of the committee. Even from
the western end of the State so many

History and Political Science at Leba-

of the Republican voters of Annville !
and vicinity, 10 J. ID. Strain, the secre-

with you that the best way to rehabili-

This is particularly true when the Re- ,
publican voters have put forward it's

able folly of supporting against Mart
