Careful estimates made by trained
Inewspapermen in Philadelphia and
New York do not bear out the claims

This is a managers. T h New
Republican York Herald of yes
Year in State terday announces that
Pennsylvania is going
Republican. The Her
aid is noted for its forecasts. The New
York World, which is Democratic If
anything, says bluntly that Penrose is
going to be reelected, and that Re-
Inn xxfn prnt,N In
Worlds estimate is one of the most
carefully compiled ever made. The
Philadelphia Press in an estimate of
the gubernatorial election based upon
canvassing extending over a period of
two weeks and including estimates
from every county says that Brum-
baugh will have $1,000 plurality. 1t
, says that Brumbaugh will carry forty
one counties with $4,000 plurality
and Mccormick twenty-five. with 26,
; 700 plurality. The Philadelphia Led
ger is earnestly advocating DR.. Brum-
baugh's election and says he will win.
Dr. Brumbaugh said in Philadelphia
/ Saturday: "If half we hear is true this
is going to be a great Republican
; year in Pennsylvania" Senator Pen
rose said yesterday for the Philadel-
! phia Inquirer: There is going to be
a Republican landslide"
DIR. Brumbaugh addressed notable
: meetings in Pittsburgh on Saturday
: night and declared that he felt salts
t fed at the outlook.
; The candidate spent
} the day whirling about Brumbaugh
that county. In his Strong in
closing speech he said Speaking
t with considerable earn
: estness: 1.-The people
of Pennsylvania are fair enough and
honorable enough not to lend them
J selves to any trickery or debauchery
{ of the franchise in Pennsylvania, and
let it be remembered that the candi-
dates who are speaking to you here
? now are not parties to any fusion or
confusion of issues in this campaign.
When you nominated me as your can

election time just to press the truth

this great county of Allegheny for
If the people get the truth before

the outcome. You may be interested
; for a m&nute in noting another fact.
} Since I spoke to you on the twenty
sixth of August l have been constant

and a splendid experience, and have

great State of Pennsylvania even than

at any time or at any place entered
into any slanderous, besmirching,
mud-slinging campaign in Pennsylva-
mia. There are plenty of great issues,
fine principles. splendid educational

Morris Gets State chairman, last
I Ratified Over night put out q state
: the Money ment of almost thou
sand words in which
he says that there is
really no danger of the campaign be-
ing smothered by McCormicks dol
lars. This is the first time anyone
around the Democratic headquarters
has even chirped about money and
Morris continues his record breaking
action by saying that really all that
has been collected thus far, (mark the
thus far) is $62,315.5O and it was COL
lected from 2,100 persons. He says
that money is needed to man the polls
