hailed as the champion of labor in
Scranton when he spoke at the cele-

Wilkes Barre later in the day he spoke
to big audience and cautioned people,
no matter what the labor troubles,
not to forget their duty to the State.
Il ask you in the name of the Com
monwealth," he said, ito give yourself
wholly to the patriotic duty of main
tanning at all times a peaceful and
law-abiding community. We cannot
for moment countenance violation
of the law and maintain our proper
relations to our country. The public
Will is the fundamental law of our
country That will is expressed in
terms of constitution and statute. The
faithful and loyal acceptance of law
is our duty. This makes for peace and
progress and prosperity, and in no
other way can we eXalt the nation and
dignity ourselves. Each citizen is
sworn official Of the government to see
that Justice and low shall rule"
At Nanticoke yesterday Governor
Brumbaugh was greeted by 1900 per-
sons. He was received with great en-
thusiasm. The Governor was moved
to tears by a song specially written by,
Mrs. John Pugh and sung by her son,
Joseph Pugh, aged fourteen. When
the boy had finished the Governor
took him in his arms and hugged him,
and as he did so tears rolled down his
cheeks. The song had touched the
patriotic heartstrings and the audience
was moved to tears at the emotion of
the Governor and words of the song.
