Gov. Martin C. Brumbaugh.

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 6.-~Governor
Martin G.. Brumbaugh today issued the
following statement on the death of
Colonel Roosevelt,
The death Of Ex-President Roose-
velt is a shock and a great calamity.
His death at this time is especially
unfortunate. He was a militant teach
er of American rights and national
honor. His voice has been heard
round the world and his services in
recent days all too little utilized. He
had the rare craftsmanship that took
the entire people fully into his con-
fidence. He was impusive at times
and impatient over delays but he was
always a true patriot. America has
lost a great voice and commanding
figure in its leadership of true democ-
racy His fine courage nd frank ut
terances endeared him to the masses
and this will be real sorrow in all
the homes where dwell true Amert-
i cans
