FROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

COATESVILLE, Pa, Oct. 2S-Theodore
Roosevelt invaded eastern Pennsylvania
today in his fight to smash Penrose and
the corrupt Penrose machine, and every
where his special train paused on the
third day of the eX-President's whirl-
wind campaign immense crowds greeted
him. especially in the Republican strong
hold of Lancaster.
Referring to the Penrose-vare split, the
colonel said
Il understand that there is some row
betweeh these leaders. one has peached
on the other. Penrose turned States evl-
dence against Ware and Ware has spoken
hard of Penrcse."
While here the Colonel answered PEN
roses plea for votes in order to bring
back prosperity, saying:
Il ask you to be true to yourselves
and the nation by standing against the
corruption and evil influences behind
Penrose. They ask you TO vote for PEN
rose because they say he will bring
ask you TO barter your souls for a dol
lar. They ask you TO barter your de-
cency with the alternative that you will
be denied prosperity.
BENDING To CORRUPTION.
Il say to you that rather than attain
prosperity by such dshonorable means,
rather than bend the knee to corrupt
influences, let US suffer the hard times
until we can have good times with honor
able men in office. Penrose says he will
bring prosperous conditions II you send
him back to the Senate. He was In the
Senate when the hard times came and
he could do nothing to stay them. Pen
rose can do nothing TO bring about a
change.
You men who want TO feel your self
respect while you look into the faces of
your children can do so only by doing
your utmost at this time to hurl Boies
Fenrose out of political power in YOUR
state and nation. We must remove the
stain from the honor of our Government,
We must keep our flag clean, and we
cannot do this with Penrose and those
whom he represents In control. Penrose
stands for ill-gotten prosperity, that
comes TO the few because they swlndle

TWO thousand persons greeted the Colo
mel when he started TO speak A group
of boysHrted TO climb a wall at the rail-
road bridge at the station to get a bet

pointed TO them and cried:

Granger and Parke, alarmed by the

rendered impractical by the icy condition
of the stream. The army then turned
about and marched back to Strawberry
