| DIR. Martin G. Brumbaugh. the
Governor elect, spent five hours in the
city yesterday, visiting Governor Ten
er and some personal friends and leav-
ing il company with Deputy Attorney
General J. e. B. Cunningham, a cir
cumstance which revived with great
vigor the impression that the brilliant
first deputy attorney general will be
promoted to the post of attorney gen.
eral. The appearance of James S.
Hiatt, DIR. Brumbaugh,s campaign Sec
retary, with him yesterday and the
fact that Mr.. Hiatt spent much time
with Walter H. Gather, Governor
Tener's secretary, makes it certain in
the minds of many that he will be pri-
vate secretary.
DIR. Brumbaugh declined to make
! any announcements yesterday and
| arter his inspection of the mansion,
\ motored to the home of Senator Ed
/ ward T.. Beidleman, chairman of the
Joint inaugural committee, who has
been Ill for a week and talked over
the plans for Tuesdays ceremony eX-
pressing the hope that the Senator
would soon be about. Then he went
to the residence of E. J. Stackpole, a
lifelong friend, to tender best wishes
Tor speedy recovery. On his trips
about the city the new Governor saw
the inaugural stand. About he
1 returned to the mansion for q bite of
supper and left at 6.24 for Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Cunningham Joined him at
the station.
DR.. Brumbaugh will not have his
legal residence here during his occu-
pancy of the executive mansion. He
will vote in Germantown.
| Senator Penrose, upon his return
to Philadelphfa yesterday, says the
Philadelphia Record. declared that the
most cordial relations existed between
Governor-elect Brumbaugh and the
| Republican Organization, and predict
ed that the present Legislature would
make good" to the people of the
State upon the party pledges.
| EVERYBODY expects the Legislature
to work in harmony with Governor
Brumbaugh to make earnest and sin
cere efforts to carry out the party
pledges" said Senator Penrose. There
is no disposition on the part of any
one in the party organization to evade
| these responsibilities or to juggle with
the propositions involved. In my opin-
| ion, the difficulties supposed to sur
round the various subjects of legisla-
| llOh WHICH VIII COf1le up are BEeaIlY
exaggerated. I believe that substantial
compliance with all the party pledges
can be had in way that will be salts
| factory to the people of the Common
wealth, and for the time being, at
| least, will dispose of these various
questions. The bills will doubtless be
introduced at once and the Legislature
will get down to hard work without
any delay. The Republican party has
won a great victory in Pennsylvania,
which has put heart in Republicans
all over the United States. The party
in this State must make good at the
approaching session of the Legislature
to the people of this State and to the
people of the country"
With view to embarrassing Sem
ator Boies Penrose, reelected in
Pennsylvania by a tremendous plu-
rality, A Mitchell Palmer, defeated
Senatorial candidate, and A. r. Rup-
ley, defeated for reelection as Con-
greSsman-at-Large on the Washing
ton ticket, have launched a propa-
ganda to have the Department of JUS
tice institute an inquiry into the
Pennsylvania campaign. Palmer and
Rupley have urged the Senate Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections TO
report favorably the Norris resolution
calling for an investigation of the
Pennsylvania fight. Having received
no assurance that such probe will be |
authorized by the Senate they contem
plate asking Attorney General Gre
CORY to use the machinery of the De-
partment of Justice to ascertain if
corruption and bribery was practiced
to re-elect Senator Penrose. Both de-
feated candidates announced to-day
that they had written letters to
Democrats and Progressives in the
State asking them to organize com
mittees and cooperate with a view to
collecting evidence"
Thomas Finnerty, one of the
Wilkes-Barre members of the House,
was host to the Lackawanna and Luz
zerne members at dinner at Wilkes
Barre a few evenings ago. The din
ner was attended by men of all par
ties and resulted in the Legislators
from both counties getting close to-
gether on matters which will come up
affecting their section.
The Central Democratic Club is
arranging for an entertainment and
dance to be given on February 8. This
will be the first of the kind and some |
of the members were wondering to- |
day If it was going to take the place |
of the Jefferson Day dinner about |
which so much fuss was made when |
certain men were ambitious to shine
in the limelght. Jackson day passed |
practically unnoticed by the club.

mitted to the voters at the polls in
these four States in 1915, it will be
defeated by an overwhelming ma
