BONNER LETTER IS
DECLARED GENUINE
State Chairman Morris Says That
Bonner Probably Got One
From the Democrats

Chairman Roland S. Morris, of the
Democratic State committee, said on
Saturday night that Neil Bonner, presi-
dent of the State Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation, probably" got q letter from
him asking for contribution to the
Democratic State committees slush
fund in behalf of Palmer and McCor-
mick. Mr.. Morris did not deny the
letter.
Nothing has so illuminated the
Democratic campaign as this letter.
While Mccormick was out on the
stump declaring hostility to liquor, the
State chairman was sending letters to
liquor dealers asking for contributions.
Saturday night Morris said about
the Bonner letter: "If he contributed
in 1908 he probably got one of the
letters"
What more is needed?
Final predictions made by the New
York and Philadelphia newspapers as
to thesresult in Pennsylvania to-mor-
row show that the Re-
publicans will win. The
polls were made by Predictions
counties by the Phila- for Victory of
d e p h a Press and Republicans
Philadelphia l. ger
and in both instances
show that it will be a Republican
year. The Press stands by it's esti-
mate of a week ago and shows Brum-
baugh winner by 97,400. Brum-
baugh is given Al counties. The
Ledger said that Brumbaugh would
be sure winner. State Chairman
William e. Crow says that Penrose
will win by $4,000 and Brumbaughs
plurality may run up to 100000. DR..
Brumbaugh said that he would win by
almost 250.000. The Democratic
claims, of which only that made by
James I. Blakslee is worth while pay
ing any attention to, are crafty Demo.
cratic. State Chairman Morris said
that Mccormick will go to Philadel-
phia with 125,000. Blakslee says that
Penrose will be defeated, but his elabo-
rate system of computation fails to
show how. Blakslee does not say any
thing about Mccormick. Mccormick
says he's going to win and is not quot
ing figures. The New York World and
the New York Herald which have
spent much money getting a line on
Pennsylvania, say that Penrose and
Brumbaugh are going to win.
Much has been said about Allegheny
county going to furnish a surprise this
year and the gangsters at the Demo-
cratic windmill have gone
so far as to claim it fol
Allegheny Mccormick, w h | e the
IS Firmly Bull Moose allies of the
Republican veal t h y Harrisburger
have been saying that 1t
Will never go Republican
again. This is what it's Republican
county chairman, one of the most
level-headed newspapermen in the
State, has to say:
Walter j. Christy, of the Republican
county committee. tonight issued the
following prediction:
The Republican State ticket will
have a majority of 10000 in Allegheny
county; all four Republican candi-
dates for Congress will be elected, and
the entire Republican senatorial and
legislative ticket will be successful.
Il do not expect to see a difference
in the majorities for Senator Penrose
and Doctor Brumbaugh"
The Republican forecast as to the
result in the State was made in O state
man of the Republican
State committee. Chair
man Crows statement Crow Says
reads: Republican
THE Republican ticket Landslide
will sweep Pennsylvania
on Tuesday. 1 look for
the election of Senator Penrose over
not less than 192. 900 votes. Mr. Pinchot
will run poor third and it is not
likely that he will carry more than
two small counties over Senator Pen
rose.
Senator Penrose will carry forty
four of the siXty-seven counties. All
the large counties will go to him over
whelmingly, and in the agricultural
sections he will poll a tremendous
vote. AS a matter of fact the reports
of the Penrose strength that come to
Republican headquarters are so glow
ing that the figures ] have given are
If anything, conservative.
"Dr. Brumbaugh will win by from
$4,000 to 250,000 against the COM
bined Democratic and Washington or
ganizationS. He will carry at least
thirty-nine counties. Philadelphia will
give him a record breaking vote. His
lead over Mccormick in Philadelphia
alone VIII be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. All of the other Republican
State candidates will win without
difficulty"
Cheers for DR.. Brumbaugh and a
notable lack of enthusiasm for Nc
Cormick marked the parade of the
Democrats on Satur-
day night in honor of
Brumbaugh the home coming of
Cheers on Vance c. Mccormick
Vance Night after his tour of the
State and If the frosti-

for governor is anything to go by he is
going to have trouble in Harrisburg.
The parade was one of those carefully
built up affairs at which the managers
of McCormick's campaign are adopts.
The only trouble was that between the
club members who could be whipped
into line and the men who wanted
something or who wanted to be re-
membered when the "kale" is handed
out the managers permitted a lot of
