CLEARF|ELD WILL
BACK BRUMBAUGH
Republican Candidates Party Was
Greeted by Crowds All Along
the Line Yesterday
DECLARES FOR THE TICKET
Candidate Leaves No Doubt as to
Where He Stands in the
Tariff Campaign

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, who was
able to leave his father at Hunting
don yesterday and go with his cam
found at every stopping place that the
men of that hitherto stalwart Demo-
cratic county were for the Republican
ticket. They have had a taste of Will
son tariff and the Palmer distribution
of post offices and patronage to build
up a machine and they know McCor-
mick as coal land owner. They are go
ing to vote Republican this year.
DIR. Brumbaugh, in nearly every one
of his addresses, emphatically declar-
ed that vote for the Republican
ticket meant a vote for the home and
the family of each voter, since 1t was
in support of a party which has al
ways, by safe and sane legislation,
protected the interests of the great
mass of people and protected them
from ruinous foreign competition. lie
praised the candidates who are his
colleagues in the present campaign,
declaring them to be men who have
given and will give in the future clean,
honest service.
II am in this campaign because we
had an open primary which enabled
every man in the State to submit his
claims to the people" said the doctor.
II represent one quarter of a million
voters and come to you with their
verdict and ask your support in No
vember in order that we may give the
people of the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, four years of an admins
tration that has no strings to it, no
entangling alliances about it or any
thing but honest, sincere determrna-
tion to give to the people of this state
a clean, honest government of it's af-
fairs. l don't take any interest in
the mere sorbid aspects of a political
campaign. We are not carrying on a
campaign of abuse, but we stand for
the best things in the life of the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania and desire to en-
able them to determine how the af-
fairs of the Commonwealth shall be
concluded.
"I should like to see the depart
ment at Harrisburg so organized in
the State of Pennsylvania that the
abuse of selfish men would be a thing
of the past and that the affairs of the
administration of the Commonwealth
shall be conducted as business affairs
are conducted by business men every
whore in PENNSYLVANIA, so that we
can look with pride upon our public
officials and upon our public men as
honest, Jealous and capable.
I'VE arc interested just now in try

see that what Pennsylvania needs is
a business and moral uplift in her
public administration. Efficiency that
will strike out every man incapable or
incompetent. We should no more toll
crate incompetency than dishonesty.
We don't need anybody that would
not work as hard for Pennsylvania
as in private business
at has been asked by some inquir-
ing people, who is back of your can
didacy?' l will answer that again as |
answered it in Altoona last Friday
night. Back of my candidacy of this
office is 160 years of my family an
cestry on the soil of Pennsylvania,
who have titled it's acres and lived, so
far as | knew, quiet, decent and
respectable lives. That is what is there
back of my candidacy, and with il n
determination to bring anew day of
higher ideals into the public life of
Pennsylvania and to the people of
Pennsylvania. For that reason we
have here tonight in this unusual de-
monstration a climax of great propa-
ganda of a day in your county in
which we have steadily appealed to
the people to put into office men who
know the problems of the common
people of the Commonwealth who
have lived with them and who have
had an opportunity to know from
practical experience and long years or
service what to do and how to do
things they want to do in the interest
of the people of Pennsylvania"
Mention of Senator Penrose's name
at Yesterdays meetings was the signal
for cheers. Mayor Frank b. McClain,
of Lancaster, who is the candidate for
acknowledgements, in his appeal for
the support of the entire ticket, enlo-
sized Senator Penrose's work for the
people of Pennsylvania in the upper
House of the National Congress.
THE Republican party is not on the
defensive" he said. "It never was.
1t is on the offensive, lighting always
for rights of the people along lines
which lead at all times to desired ends.
The Republican party is not diverted
from its course by the clap-trap slo-
gans of it's opponents. 1t goes on its
way for the betterment OF all, serene
ly and calmly. despite the attacks
which disappointed ofiice-seekers may
make upon it,"
