Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer has
refused to give up the machine which
he has built up by his use of federal
patronage and Vance Mccormick s
cash and will not retire from the race
for United States senator. While he
was in Washington yesterday discuss

for staying in the field and not retir-

party men in return for their with

Mccormick, Judge c. n. Brumm, the
veteran Progressive of Sehuylkill, was
assailing Palmer's attitude. The phil

Judge Charles y. Brumm, nominee
for governor on the Bull Moose party
ticket, in an interview scored Con-
gresham A. Mitchell Palmer, Demo-

between himself and Palmer begun by
Judge Brumm with a view to an
agreement whereby both Palmer and
Brumm would withdraw.
"Brumm said in a letter to Palmer
on October that he would place his
resignation from the Bull Moose tick

Lancaster, if Palmer would place his
resignation in the hands of the DEM
oCratic state chairman.
Palmer replied to this: L have

statement Palmer confesses that his
object is TO build up a political ma

instead of advancing reform princi-

Your thoughts do not rise higher
than the success of a certain political
party in the State, which accounts for
your presumption and blindness as to
the real condition of affairs in Penn
sylvania.' wrote Judge Brumm in reply
to Palmer's refusal to withdraw"

In his speech Senator Penrose at
tackled the bossism of William Finn,
denounced the deal by which William

references to Finn were indorsed by
the crowd, which applauded his vigor-
