Chester, Pa, Oct. 21.-Dr. Martin G..
Brumbaugh, Republican candidate for
Governor, spoke before a large audi
enee at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night. He
was introduced by State Senator Viii
liam c. Sproul.
DR.. Brumbaugh was gretted with a
big ovation when he arose TO speak.
He said he was not a stranger in Ches-
ter, having frequently spoken at the
school institutes here; that he was
used to asking for things for other peo-
pie, but now he was experiencing the
novel sensation of stumping through the
State asking the citizens of the Com
monwealth to vote for him for Cover
nor.
DR.. Brumbaugh said in part:
"All the traditions of our parties
have been broken in the last two years.
Every party has felt the shift of public
sentiment and the chastening of the
public will. The Republican party comes
from that experience just as virile, just
as earnest and just as strong as any
party dare come from it, and offers
now through its candidates here before
you as fine a program of social, educa-
tional and moral reform as any party
in this Commonwealth dare offer it to
you.
I'VE offer il with this peculiar diff
ference that instead of dreaming about
.it aud tbeorizing about it We have the
practical Judgment aud power to make
good in our party. | therefore, appeal
in no apologetic mood or attitude, as
we have no apologies TO make.
Says He Will Not Be Bossed
1--WE are an aggressive and yirile
people lighting for the rights of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. |
want YOU to understand that and help
Us to put before the people of this State
with some degree of detiniteness and
elearness and force the fact that if
elected to the office of Governor of this
State, | will pledge to YOU and | will
pledge to the party, that | will go into
the office with my views on constructive
and comprehensive and advance legis-
latiou and an administration as progress
Sive as any reasonable people in this
commonwealth can ask for.
"Those who have known me in my
school work and those of you who have
been MY pupils or my associates; those
with whom l have touched elbows in
the work of my life, knew very well
this one thing: that never was bossed
and never will be bosSed; that if elect
ed Chief Executive of this Common
wealth, uader my own conscience and
the Will of the people, L shall endeavos
to deal justly and rightly by all who
live in this Commonwealth. -
