PINCH0T RESUMES STUMP
AND ATTACKS PENRoSEISM
Washington Party Candidate for
Senator Has Busy Day.

BUTLER, Pa, Oct 5.-Gifrord Pinchot,
the Washington party candidate for the
United States Senate, who was forced
to abandon his campaign tour last week
when he was taken Ill at Erie. resumed
his quest for votes here this morning.
He reached here last night and remained
at the Nixon Hotel He was astir early
this morning, making an address at $3.50
Steel Car Wheel Works, at Lyndora,
speaking to them before they went to
work. There was a large gathering and
the toilers listened to Pinchot, whose re-
marks dealt with what he termed to be
the real issue Of the campaign-'Pen-
Foseism."
At 8 o'clock an automobile trip was
started, the first stop being made at
Petersville. Later Evans City, Gallery
and Mars were visited, after which the
party crossed over into the northern
part OF Allegheny County, visiting Taren-
tum and Freeport.
Pinchot was accompanied by his wife,
and other members of the party were
James Hammond. F. II. Davy. OF this
place; DIR. W. r. Hockenberry. OF Slip
perry Rock candidate for the Assembly
on the Washington Party ticket, and W.
B. McGeary, the county chairman OF the
party.

this morning said he was feeling no bad
effects from his Illness last week, and
had fully recovered his strength. He
said he expected to be busy from now
until election day in visiting the voters
of this State.

BRUMBAUGH, IN CITY,
TELLS WHY VICTORY
SEEMS CERTAIN NOW
Declares Many Democrats
and Progressives in All
Parts of State Are Promis-
ing Support.

Or. Martin @. Brumbaugh the Repub-
lcan nominee for Governor, radiantly
confident Of the outcome of his cam
paign stopped at the headquarters of
the Brumbaugh Citizens Committee in
the Lincoln Building today Just long
enough to assure IrA5 supporters that five
weeks campaigning in all parts Of the
State had convinced him that there was
no longer any DOUBT about how the peo-
pie will decide on November s.
The final registration on Saturday, the
last day to qualify for the November
election, he said, was the answer of the
people to any question as to which party
would prevail. The back-to-Rcpublican
party movement might be seen. he de-
clared, not only In Philadelphia but in
every county in the state.
THE voice OF the people at the polls
on Saturday was the answer to Colonel
Roosevelt in this state" he added
"f covered more than 600 miles in the
northern central part of tho State last
week. and I'm almost every town whore
spoke could see plainly the disintegra-
tion of the Washington party. Many
Democrats. too, came TO me and pledged
their support. This was largely on ac-
count of their opposition to the Admin
istration's war tax in time of peace. The
people in Pennsylvania will have to bear
nearly 10 per cent. OF this tax, but 1t is
not the amount which they will have to
pay, but the principle to which they
make the strongest objection.
THE campaign issues throughout Pot
ter, Tioga, Bradford and Mexican Coun-
ties are good roads, reforestation of
their hills, good rural schools and prob
lens of agricultural Importance. Local
option too. is a vital issue there, and
I made IL as plain as l could that / am
fer local option heart and soul. Despite
the efforts of some to misrepreaent my
position ON this question I think | have
made it clear
THE most remarkable part OF It all
to me is the great number of former
pupils Of mine and teachers whom I
meet. In one small rural community 1
met a. woman, a former pupil of mine,
whose husband was. until the primaries,
a candidate on the Progressive ticket for
the Legislature. She told me that she
had gone through the district crcuat-
ing my petition while her husband was
circulating his on another ticket. And
on November she declared there would
be only one vote--her husband's-that
would not be mine in that division.
There Is one thing certain; whether
victorious or defeated. I shall be good
sport concluded Doctor Brumbaugh.
ITO be a modest victor or to submit
to defeat without complaint I think one
of the finest things We may see in any
candidate"
Doctor Brumbaush will leave this after
noon for Harrisburg, and tomorrow
morning he will resume his campaign in
the Cumberland Valley.
