everyone knew what was going to re-
suit from Republican victory this Fall.
Wien he took up the invasion by
the Colonel, the Senator found a very
apprectative audience. These are some
OF the things he said:
"A notable statesman has come over
from New York and is telling us that
Pinchot is all right on the tariff. He
never wrote line in his life except
about trees, and he never came into
Pennsylvania except to fish for trout,
and yet we are told he knows all about
the tariff. Why, gentlemen, he knows
as much about the tariff as a bulldog
does about astronomy. What shall we
think of the certificate given to Mr..
Pinchot about his knowledge of the
tariff? He claims to be a Progressive.
Mr.. Roosevelt was out in Pittsburgh
yesterday urging the voters to elect
Clyde Kelly, a Progressive member of
Congress in the old Dalzell district,
who is running against a Republican,
a well-known man, Mr.. Coleman.
Kelly voted for the Underwood tariff
bill. Does he represent the ideas of
Roosevelt and Pinchot? If so, God
help the Commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania.
Pinchot and Mccormick
"Mr. Palmer has been travelling
along dead-head in the Mccormick
wagon. 1t is the case of Jonah and
the whale. They are getting ready to
throw Palmer overheard and the fight
now is for Pinchot and Mccormick.
Mr.. Roosevelt comes into this State
and attacks the Republican party and
me individually, Notwithstanding the
fact that 1 was his dearest friend for
fifteen years. What a changel l was
"a rising statesman until two years
ago and now l am political boss!
Are his hands clean? He comes into
this State to criticise the great Re-
publican party, that had administered
the affairs of Pennsylvania for two
generations with the exception of only
two gubernatorial terms, in rank and
open association with a discredited
and corrupt political boss in Pitts
burgh, whom the Republican party
threw out ten years ago. Roosevelt
says: 1 am for Finn and Finn is
for me'-a happy condition of reci-
procity. This is proof positive to my
mind that Finn has opened up and is
probably paying for the train that is
carrying Roosevelt through Pennsyl-
Vania to-day; Finn, whom | helped
to cast out of the Republican party
on account of his arrogant and cor
rupt methods, who always has been
affiliated with corrupt and scandalous
contracts. and who now has contracts
favor of Tammany. He says that his
next step will be to become a Demo-
crat, which he practically has become
because he has handed the Washing
ton party over to Mccormick. What
right has Mr.. Roosevelt to criticise me
or any one else when at the same time
he is breathing the tainted environ
ment that comes from association
with Bill Finn, of Pittsburgh.
Challenges Roosevelt
Gentlemen, Mr.. Richard Quay
stated the other day that he had some
correspondence with Mr.. Roosevelt,
and particularly from him, which Mr.
Roosevelt declined to let him publish.
Mr.. Roosevelt always has boasted that
he was willing to have anything pub
lished that he has written, and l chal-
lenge him here tonight to permit the
publication of his letter to Richard
r. Quay regarding Mr.. Quay's protest
against the immoral domination of
William Finn in the councils of the
Washington party. l have here in my
hand a postal card signed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt from Oyster Bay. 1t
was received to-day and is dated Oc-
tober 20. Evidently the delivery is
premature. Perhaps the date is just
as correct as the statement in it. 1t
simply asks the voters of Pennsylvania
Boies Penrose. 1t says further that
'Penrose stands in public life for all
those evil forces against which every
clean and decent citizen should un-
flinchingly fight l would like to ask
Mr.. Roosevelt whether there should
not have been put on the face of this
postal card postage prepaid by VIII
liam Finn"
Senator Penrose made scathing ref
erence to Vance c. Mccormick, the
candidate for Governor. He said:
Mccormick, your fellow townsman,
is going around branding Republicans,
and yet he never earned a dollar in
his life, but has only been spending
the millions he Inherited"
I'VE know him!" yelled q man in
the rear of the hall.
He is young millionaire, young
plutocrat, who never saw wage
Garner in close contact, unless it was
his valet, and who has absolutely no
knowledge of the striving and aspira-
tions of the wage earners here in this
great industrial Commonwealth. He
has an idea that he can purchase the
election of Governor. He spent quite
a sum of his inherited millions on
the primary q thought that thing had
been stopped by new legislation), and
now, according to campaign rumor,
he is willing to indulge in unlimited
expenditure to purchase the governor
ship. But this year the Republican
current is so strong that he may spend
every penny he is worth and yet he
will never land within sight of the
executive chair"
Thomas S. Crago in his speech raked
the Democrats for their tariff and
war tax and said that he hoped that
the day would come when Little,
mean men, men with only money and
inherited wealth, will not dare to go
before the people for an Office"
Mr.. Crago said that the South was
in the saddle in Washington, but that
the Republicans would regain con-
troll. The Republican party has lived
through many things, oftentimes its
ruin was predicted, but it survived as
1t will survive 1912. This year it will
be victorious and will win again In
1916.
1t was an enthusiastic rally from
start to finish. The cheering began
long before any of the speakers en-
tered the hall. Somebody in the
crowded gallery proposed three
cheers for Brumbaugh," and they
were given and repeated. Then from
another part of the gallery came a
call for cheers for the whole Re-
publican ticket and they were given
just as heartily.
AS the speakers entered the hall
from the rear the audience stood and
let loose cheer after cheer. Senator
