him to the spot where the unexpect-

been viewing the city boulevard

He did not envy them, for to his hon

Mr.. Roney denied that the vote last
Fall showed the state was for local
option. Senator Penrose received more
votes as a Republican than the other
two senatorial candidates. If the peo-
pie of the state were for local option,

local option platform and elect McCor-
mick, asked he. All the votes polled
by DR.. Brumbaugh except 90, 900 came
from Republicans who also voted for
Penrose. who had no local option
platform.
The Philadelphian said that in DR..
Brumbaughs home district the local
option legislative candidates were de-
feated.
If liquor is bad for the race, said
he, it should be thrown out. but what
he termed this half-baked local OPP
