that the NOteES Oh LeDdnOn county are
thoroughly dissatisfied with business
conditions, for which they blame the
Democrats, and that he will carry the
county on national issues.
Senator Penrose's strength as a can
didate was strikingly indicated by his
reception when he arrived in Lebanon
yesterday morning. AT the station he
was greeted by a brass band and a
crowd of cheering voters, estimated at
more than two thousand. Badges
with the word COMMITTEE printed on
them had been provided by the Manu-
facturers' Club and the Republican
county committee and so eager were
the Republicans present to show their
loyalty that money was offered for
them. Although a thousand of these
badges had been printed hundreds of
voters We're obliged to go without
them much to theis disappointment.
Not in years has such an enthusiastic
reception been given a candidate in
Lebanon.

veterans, led the pro-

chants, workingmen and all manner
of Republicans, including many from
the country districts. At the hotel
Senator Penrose was received by a
delegation headed by Major. ]. NJ.
Shindel, Judge Advocate of the Fourth
Brigade, n. G. P. For two hours he
was engaged in meeting voters of the
county. Among his callers were many
former Bull Moosers, who now are
back in the Republican party, and sew
eral Democrats. Among the third
party men who pledged him support
was Paul Wagner, an iron worker,
who was the Washington party candi-
cate for sheriff two years ago. He now
is earnestly working for the election
of Senator Penrose. From the balcony
of the hotel the Senator spoke to
crowd that filled the street.
He in part said: THE people have
returned to the Republican standard
and normally Republican counties like
Lebanon will rec r d
handsome majoriti
for the Repub Ii c an Senator
ticket in November. Delivers
And why should they Address
not do this? The
promises made you
two years ago have not been kept.
The Democratic party has shown its
inability to administer the affairs of
this nation. You were promised cheap
er living and what have you gotten.
I have witnessed the evidences of
Democratic government as l passed
through the beautiful Lebanon VAL
ley. And where else should there be
better times than in such a chosen
place? Yet seven of your nine fur
naces are idle and another will shut
down in few days. I am told that
your rolling mills are turning out
only about half the product of their
capacity. This shows the difference
between Republican prosperity and
Democratic misrule.
What we want is a restoration of
that which we have lost, good times
and the opportunity for employment
at good wages. I am firmly convinc-
ed that the next President of the
United States will be Republican and
feel sure the Republicans of Leba-
non county will aid in bringing this
about"

learned of industrial conditions from
both the manufacturers and the work

element would support him almost
solidly. The Senator returned to
Philadelphia last night. He was ac-
ompanied by Daniel F. Lafean, of
York, Republican candidate for con-
gressman-at-large, who with Henry
Secretary of Internal Affairs, also at
