Ten thousand men gave DR.. Martin

for Governor, the greatest ovation of
the present campaign in South Phila-

most remarkable demonstrations ever
given in the Quaker City and demon
strated that the southern part of the
| city was as strong for DR.. Brumbaugh
as the suburbs. Germantown and the
central and northern portions OF the
city had shown they We're in the meet

The speech of DIR. Brumbaugh was
a terrific slam at the impudence of
! Theodore Roosevelt in butting into
Pennsylvania and in his telling fashion
the doctor commented upon the fall of
| the former President from his high
estate. The doctor spoke after having
| addressed many rallies in Philadel-
phia's industrial section. A regular
mob cheered him at the door of the
| theater. Three times did DR.. Brum-
| baugh attempt to begin his address
after being introduced by Congress
man William S. Ware. but each time
| the demonstration which greeted his
! appearance on the slate broke out
anew.
DIR. Brumbaugh's references to
Roosevelt and the latter's attack on
political bosses stirred the big crowd.
The Republican nominee declared

Governor to work under the direction

the distribution of patronage.

in Philadelphia for my living" said

Cites COlOneI's Record
1T may be well to pause for a mo-
ment and see the quality of the indi-
Vidual who makes such loud preten-
tions in the interest of the people. In
the autobiography of a one-timed po-
litical boss of New York State it is
definitely and explicitly set forth that
this would-be adviser of the people of
Pennsylvania did not even dare an
nounce his candidacy for the Governor
ship OF New York until he had the as
surance, of the support of a notorious
political boss, and by the same au-
thority 1t is set forth that this great
reformer absolutely agreed to consult
the boss concerning the distribution
fetal acts in order to secure the boss
support in his election.
Now, as mere opportunity for the
purpose of venting his spleen. this same
man has the audacity to advise the
good people of Pennsylvania who have
known me in my educational work for
a generation, how to vote on Tuesday

senting this insult to our intelligence
