BRUMBAUCH ASKS.
FOR SQUARE DEAL
Candidate Declares He Has Sub
mitted His Moral Standards
to the Whole People
STAND UP FOR PENNSYLVANIA
York and Adams Counties Give
Him Ovation and Show Con-
fidence in His Motives
STAND UP FOR PENNSYLVANIA

DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Repub-
lican candidate for governor, in the
course of his tour of York and Adams
counties yesterday told the people that
'if elected he would give the square
deal and asked it in return. During
the day the candidate, although
smarting under the unjust attacks
made upon him and the villifcation
poured out by his rival, refrained from
saying anything that would look like
the vituperation of Mccormick and
said that he wanted the people to
weigh his pledges and to consider his
character in the light of years in pub
lie school work He said that he stood
where he said he stood months ago.
The tour covered parts of Franklin
county in the morning and at noon
DIR. Brumbaugh reached Gettysburg,
going thence to other towns in York
and Adams county. He reached York
last night and to-day goes into Lam
caster. Tonight he will speak at
Lititz.
Last night at East Berlin DIR. Brum-
baugh declared he wanted fair play:
The Square Deal
Speaking with great earnestness he
said:
What 1 ask for is a square deal and
man, and I do not like. after living an
open life with the children of this
Commonwealth and serving for thirty
six years as teacher, when under the
law man must be moral and tenn
perate to hold a certificate, much less
to supervise a school, | do not like
any man to challenge my standards
and my attitude on a moral question
in Pennsylvania. You will find me
square for the things l have always
stood for, and l want here tonight
to make them so plain that no man
can find my position an excuse for do
ing a nasty, malignant, uncharitable
thing in Pennsylvania"
And 1 want you here tonight to
stand up for Pennsylvania honor
every day of your lives. We want in
this Commonwealth, and you have
| right to have in this Commonwealth,
such an administration of your public
affairs that every man and every wo-
imam in Pennsylvania can point with
lpride and satisfaction to your public
affairs, and my ambition, If chosen
to the office for which l have been
nominated, is to add one more chap
ter of honor and credit to the already
long and splendid record of this great
imperial Commonwealth of ours
Then DR.. Brumbaugh declared the
Washington party men were coming
home, saying, I'm Pennsylvania two
years ago we had an unfortunate di-
vision in our party, A great many
good men in Pennsylvania got the con-
viction in their minds that Pennsyl-
vania ought to do better in her pub
lie administration. / want to say I
agree with them absolutely on that
proposition and l ask them to believe
me when / make the statement that
no party in this Commonwealth dare
eix
clean, a more humane, a more decent
and a more advanced program of
social economic service to the people
of Pennsylvania than that which
wrote into my platform and for that
which l stand here to-day.
Progressives Sold Out
"I have travelled over your roads in
this county. Do you like them? Do
you want to live with them the rest
of your days? One of the very first
things that interests me in this cam
paign, and shall interest me If chosen
to the Office / seek. is an improvement
of the agricultural conditions on the
farms in Pennsylvania.
Every agency of the State must
turn directly and specifically to an in
creased output of the soil of this Com
lmonwealth, because we are buying too
much food from markets away from
our homes and paying extraordinary
| transportation charges. We must
have suitable highways between the
farms and the markets of the world.
This is simply plain, specific pro-
position, and every man who is inter-
ested in his State ought to see that
the road is the artery for the uplift
and development of our agricultural
interests in Pennsylvania, and / want
to assure you, If chosen Governor,
every dollar of the peoples money that
goes into roads will build one hundred
cents worth of roads"
Clergy With Him
Attempt of DR.. Brumbaugh's op-
ponents to win away from his support
his friends among the clergymen of all
denominations by means of letters at
tacking his sincerity of purpose are
falling utterly. At every large town
visited yesterday DIR. Brumbaugh was
met by a representative of some
church, every denomination being rep
resented so far In the tour, and told
that despite letters received maligning
him he would be supported by the
