years ago to lobby against a compen-
sation bill
Mr.. Ryan said that his enemies were
iond of saying that he had a bad
temper, especially when he did not
agree with them and that he had a
reputation for being quarrelsome. He
said that was his way of forging his
way to the front and that If he were
| elected governor he would be glad to
be known as the scrappy, quarrelsome
governor In behalf of the people, just
as he had been so. styled because he
halted encroachments of railroads on
the water. front of Philadelphia
In his denunciation of A. Mitchell
Palmer, the boss of the reorganiza-
tion faction, DIR. Shull, of Palmer's
home town. told of Palmer in 1892
defeating the wishes of the county
committee by throwing out the chair
man through the secret connivance of
the State bosses and later violated
the rotation agreement of the Demo-
cratic party III his district. And yet
this man claims that he has always
been regular and that not a word
can be said against his democracy"
continued Shull. "He Is one of the
biggest four-fiushers that ever came
down the pike. A vote for A. Mitchell
Palmer will be vote for a man who
puts policy above principle and sell
| fish ambitions above party interest,
and want to say that q leadership
of that kind never has prevailed and
never will prevail, for that good old
reason as given by Lincoln, that you
can fool some of the people all of the
time and you can fool all of the peo-
pie some of the time, but you can't
fool all the people all the time"
Bonniwell's Court
! Calling Mccormick before the bar
of public opinion Judge Bonniwell,
acting as political judge, asked him
whether he had voted for Bryan in
l1S96 and in 1890 and whether he had
not gone to Denver in 1908 to war
against Bryan and whether he had not
opposed Webster Grim in 1913. "On
these counts" said he, II ask a ver-
dict of guilty, and I charge him with
being a common scold Why, Is there
any man of prominence in Pennsyl-
vania who does not vote guilty on
that charge? What man in Pennsyl-
vania has ever dared to act in opposi-
tion to the wishes of this individual
and still escape his unjust criticism !?
1t can truthfully say of this paper rs
a great English statesman said of
the London Times, and it is like the
London Times in this particular that
it represents the tory and antipeople's IS
interest, that they sit in darkened
rooms with charity on their lips and
poison on their pens" 1t Is paper
that will not stop at falsehood and
malice, but makes shame ashamed
of ITSELF at its concocted fabrications,
and this man wants to be master of
the State of Pennsylvania, not merely
lGovernor; a governorship would not
suit this self-important. self-centered
rich man; liberty and independence
are foreign to his thought.
Now on the third count of the in
dictment. 1 ask Mr.. Mccormick 10
come and be araigned at the bar of
lpublic opinion. Shall l call Senator
Beidleman with his proofs concern
ing the eelction practices on the day
of your election as Mayor? Does he
lcare to answer concerning the $4,000
alleged to have been spent to corrupt
THAT election? Will he meet here or
Elsewhere the allegations made in the
4 Senate of Pennsylvania that this cleo

If these things are admitted; If this
nice just man has by his own admis-
