DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh and his
colleagues on the Republican State
ticket continued yesterday what has
turned out to be a triumphal tour
through red-hot Bull Moose country
of 1912 and in the course of his
speech at Towanda, in which Roose-
welt stronghold DR.. Brumbaugh was
cheered to the echo in the evening,
the big educator tore the masks from
the faces of his rival and the men
who are seeking election by defaming
him. 1t was the first time that DR..
Brumbaugh has paid much attention
to the yelping of the Democratic pack
and the braying of the head of the

"The trouble is some people in this
Commonwealth cannot believe that at
an open primary an honest man, un-
bossed and unpledged, could have tho
courage to seek q nomination at the
hands of the Republican party. l did
that. II you support me for the ONCE
of Chief Executive of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, you will have
an Embossed and undirected admins
tration of the affairs of this State and
you will have it straight from the
shoulder from your own Executive,
and he will give you the most efficient
administration he knows how to give.
After thirty-siX years of teaching
in your public schools, devoting my
life to the training of the young peo-
pie who fell under my charge, and
living as a model for them, so that
they may live the ideal lives of decent
men and women, l. am now too old
and too stubborn a Pennsylvania to
change my method of life.
What 1 have been in the past, |
will be to the very last, and l want
every man and every woman in Penn
sylVania to understand that. want
definite understanding, and / want 1t
known that / give the assurance that
! want TO serve you men of Pennsyl-
vania, and you women of PennsylVa-
mia. and the children of Pennsylvania,
as | have in the past.
"And not for any personal power or
personal patronage that may accrue
to me through the office to which you
may elect me. but solely with desire
to in some way. some honorable way
to add four more years of creditaDle
and honorable history to this great
Commonwealths annals.
Not Rich Man
"I don't need the office OF Gov
ernor, not that am a rich man, fol
am not and every dollar l have in
this world / have earned teaching
children in the schools of our Com
monwealth.
''When a man comes before you

ing your COnnOnWedlln anu CiSlhS
down men who have served 1t honor
ably in the past. HE is A TRAITOR
TO THE COMMONWEALTH AND
HE is NOT A FRIEND OF ITS
PEOPLE.
Twenty years from now it will be
more profitable to live on a farm than
to live anywhere else in Pennsylvania.
want to be a part of the great propa-
ganda that is going to make this great
State of ours the ideal agricultural
community of America. 1 want to see
the boys and girls sent to your State
College to be trained in scientific agri-
culture, and it is a peculiar source of
pride to me that here in your town
of Troy and in your great county of
Bradford you have established the
first agricultural high school in Penn
sylvania.

that in some sinister. mysterious or
unknown way we could not be cam
