The Philadelphia Record to-day
says: An eleventh hour trick of the
Brumbaugh supporters to confuse and
frlghten candidates for national dele
gates who are known TO be opposed
TO the Governors presidential candi-
dacy was called" by United States
Senator Penrose yesterday, before its
design could be accomplished. The
stTatagem resorted to by the Cover
nors supporters took the form of a
letter purpOrting to have been sent out
by the Secretary of the Commonwealth
and which was so ingeniously worded
as to give the recipient the impression
that his nomination papers had not
been filed in accordance with the law,
and therefore were illegal. AS soon
as Senator Penrose learned of the
attempted deception he got busy and
wired to every Republican county
chairman in the State a warning to
beware of the misconstruction placed
by the Harrisburg letter on the law
governing the filing of nomination pa
pers. Senator Penrose's warning also
[ included a correct Interpretation of
the law, in order that no one might
be misled by the fake communica-
ton"

-Commissioner r. J. Moore, the
McNichol commissioner in Philadel-
phia is charging that Mayor Smith
says that he would not hesitate to
use the police in politics in PhiladeI-
phia. The Evening Bulletin says that
the Mayor said before he assumed
office that he would not play politics.
The following telegram from for
mer Deputy Attorney General Fred
eric w. FletiZ, of Scranton, was
given out late last night by the Brum-
baugh Campaign Committee: Il am
with Governor Brumbaugh in this
contest because believe he stands for
better politics in Pennsylvania and
possesses in a high degree the ability,
integrity and vision essential TO leader
ship. BY submitting his name as Il
candidate for President to the voters
of the Republican party in this STATE,
he demonstrates the courage or his
convictions and his willingness TO
abide by the decision of the people.
Surely they can place their confidence
and trust in such a man."
Select Councilman Henry J. Klos,
recommended by Coroner Knight, and
william II. Braun, favored by Senator
James p. McNichol, were appointed
yesterday as Real Estate Assessors in
Philadelphia. The salary of the posi-
tion is $4,000. Though the Board of
Revision of Taxes which made the ap-
pointments is friendly politically with
Senator Penrose, the appointments
show that an equal distribution be-
tween the Penrose and the anti-Pen-
rose factions was made.
Notwithstanding some statements
which have been made the Brum baugh
presidential and delegate-at-large
papers do not contain names of many
people connected with the State gov
