Suffered Twenty-One Years-
Finally Found Relief
Having suffered for twenty-one |
years with a pain in my side, I finally
have found relief in Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. Injections of morphine
were my only relief for short periods
of time. I became so sick that I had
to undergo a surgical operation in
New Orleans, which benefited m© for
two years. When the same pain caine
back one day I was so sick that I gave
up hopes of living. A friend advised
me to try your Swamp-Root and I at
once commenced using it. The first
bottle did me so much good that 1
purchased two more bottles. I am
now on my second bottle and am feel
ing like a new woman. I passed a
gravel stone as large as a big red bean
and several small ones. I have not
had the least feeling of pain since
taking your Swamp-Root and I leel it
iny duty to recommend this great
medicine to all suffering humanity.
Gratefully yours,

Money in Transfers
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C„ Oct. 29.—Notices
from the. Federal Reserve Board were

It is aimed to provide the regional
banks immediately with money and
will permit the ready issue of reserve
notes to member institutions. The
transfer of reserves will be begun after
the Secretary of the Treasury gives
formal notification of the regional
banks. "It Is the desire of the board,"
the notice to the banks stated, "to ar
range for the actual physical transfer
of the first installment In such a man
ner as to create the least possible dis

Swope Eloquently Boosts
For Judge George Kunkel
Among the speakers at the big Re
publican rally last night was ex-Dis
trict Attorney Swope, of Clearfield, an
eloquent orator.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Swope, who made a fine speech,
aroused tremendous enthusiasm by a i
reference to President Judge Kunkel,
whose name was greeted with tu
multuous applause.
Mr. Wildman answered effectively
some criticism of his legislative course
by Jesse J. Lybarger and declared
barger as a transcribing clerk of the
last House had received the same
compensation as other transcribers
and then tried to get some cheap no
toriety by pretending to return part
of his salary for days he had not
worked. Mr. Wildman declared there
was no record at Capitol Hill of Ly
barger's conscience fund, but there
was a record in the State Treasury of
the fact that he had received a check
in full.

BRUMBAUGH FIRM
FOR LOCAL OPTION
Sends Telegram to the National
Head of Anti-Saloon League
on His Position
Special to The Telegraph
Philadelphia, Oct. 29.—An unquali
fied pledge to use his influence unre
servedly to obtain the passage by the
Legislature of a local option measure
agreed upon by the temperance lead
ers has been given by Dr. Martin G.
Brumbaugh, the Republican candidate
for Governor. The pledge was asked
for by Dr. Perley A. Baker, national
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League and given freely and promptly
by Dr. Brumbaugh, who has been a
worker for temperance all his life. It
is even more definite than utterances
of Vance C. McCormick.
The request for a definite expression
of Dr. Brumbaugh's attitude was made
in the following telegram from Dr.
Baker:
"Since doubt has been expressed as
to your attitude on the question of lo
cal option by temperance people of
Pennsylvania would you mind wiring
me direct stating your exact position
on the question. Specifically will you
If elected Governor of Pennsylvania
sign a local ftptipn bill if passed by. the
Legislature? Will you use your In
fluence as governor to secure the pas
sage of a local option measure that
may be agreed upon by the temper
ance leaders in the Legislature?"
No sooner had Dr. Brumbaugh re
ceived the message than he wined Dr.
Baker as follows:
"Telegram Just received. Am whole
heartedly in favor of local option.
Have worked for temperance all my
life. If elected Governor of Pennsyl
vania I will sign a local option bill if
passed by the Legislature and will use
my influence unreservedly to secure
the passage of a local option measure
that may be agreed upon by the tem
perance leaders in the Legislature.
I am greatly concerned that my posi
tion has been misrepresented."
This is the second pledge of that
nature that Dr. Brumbaugh has given
to the Anti-Saloon League of Pennsyl
vania. It was sent to Dr. Moore last
March. The correspondence on the
subject was printed in The American
Issue, the official organ of the Anti-
Saloon League, on April 10 last un
der the heading "Brumbaugh for
County Option."

BRUMBAUGH PASSES
TITLE RIGHT BACK TO
COLONEL ROOSEVELT
[Continued From First Paffc]
like 3,000 failed to hear Dr. Brum
baugh.
Not only did the Doctor hand back
to the man who had desired him to
remain as superintendent of schools
in Porto Rico his jocular reference to
woolly lambs, but he proceeded to
use his switches on the scandalmon
gers.
"I want to settle for a generation
to come the fact that slander and
scandal will not win votes and buy
offices in Pennsylvania," said he. "I
have nothing to win or lose in this
whole campaign. Do not let anybody
blind your eyes with subterfuges, but
look squarely at the facts. If you
want a clean, capable, conscientious
administration of your affairs, then
the school teacher wants your sup
port. for that is what he is pledged
to give you, and I thank God to-night
that I belong to the Pennsylvania
German people, of whom it was said
their word is as good as their bond.
When I make a promise I keep that
promise, and I won't say a single
thing to get a vote that I won't do
when the vote is Riven. Let us rally
around the old flag and the old Com
monwealth for a continuation of its
splendid history and advancement of
the dignity and honor of this great
State of Pennsylvania."
Dr. Brumbaugh's reference to Colo
nel Roosevelt's attack was loudly
cheered. This was the only reference
he made to Colonel Roosevelt's state
ment, though he may make a more
detailed reply in the near future.
As to Free Trade
Once again, at the conclusion of his
speech he referred to national issues,
warning the voters against the free
trade policies of the Democratic
party.
"I had the good fortune a year ago,"
he said, "to travel in the Fatherland,
from whence my peoplo came more
than 160 years ago, 1 saw how the
people live, yonder in the valley of
the upper Rhine, and I thank God to
night that the people who work in
Pennsylvania live in better homes than
they do in foreign lands. Heaven for
bid the day when Pennsylvania be
comes a country of free trade, and it
will become that under a policy that
sweeps away the protection which a
tariff under Republican principles
gives to this country.
"I want to say another thing, and I
have never said this before:
"In the heart of the city of London
last summer, within the sound of the
bell of Westminster Abbey, at the
Headquarters of Free Trade of Great
Britain, out of seventeen exhibits in
the window to attract people and to
promote frqe trade, eleven of the sev
enteen placards contained quotations
'FROM WOOD RO W WILSON'S
WHITINGS "AND SPEECHES HE
IIAB USED IN ENGLAND AND
; QUOTED AS THE GREAT EXPON
ENT OF FREE TRADE THROUGH
OUT THE BRITISH EMPIRE.'
[ "I tell you that is a hint. My father
used to say 'a word to the wise is suf
ficient, and many words won't fill a
bushel.' "
Dr. Brumbaugh'R words of warning
were quickly followed up by Frank B.
McClaln, the Mayor of this city and
i candidate for Lieutenant Oovernor,
I The Range that n I
"Makes Cooking E?sy" I
who was the second speaker at the
first meeting. Mayor McClain, after
describing the destructive effect of the
Democratic tariff turned his attention
to the claims of Mr. Palmer. He held
up Mr. Palmer as an exponent of free
trade, the writer of the metal sched
ule In the Underwood tariff bill, which
has hit Pennsylvania more than any
State in the Union, and as a man who
in his very speeches presents himself
as a champion to destroy the good
things that are without promise of
better. McClain urged the election of
Senator Penrose, who, he declared,
had been the friend of every law
passed in Pennsylvania and the nation
for the benefit of the American work-
Inimab.
For Local Option
Dr. Krumbuugh in his speech said:
"I ani in favor of and am advocat
ing the right of every county, county
by county, to decide for itself whether
or not intoxicating liquors shall be
sold in that county, and I favor and
advocate that the members of the in
coming Legislature pass the resolution
as required by law a second time,
which was passed at the last Legisla
ture, to submit to people of Pennsyl
vania the question whether or not the
Constitution shall be so amended as to
give women the right to vote in Penn
sylvania. lam also interested in this
very important problem: Here is a
great manufacturing town and there
are other great manufacturing indus
tries not far away, and back of your
manufacturing plants is this wonder
ful agricultural district. Do you know
that in the past ten years twenty per
cent, of the people who grow food in
Pennsylvania have moved from the
farms to the towns and the villages
and cities of the State? In ten years
we have lost one-fifth of all the people
who grow food and we have added
one-flfth to all the people that con
sume food In Pennsylvania, and any
school child can figure out how soon
it will be at that rate of procedure
when it will be necessary to pay the
additional price of long hauls on food
bought from people outside of our
own Commonwealth. I say to you that
we have got to turn our attention
seriously, earnestly and effectively to
the problem of making it pay to stay
on the farms in Pennsylvania and cul
tivate them properly, and thus secure
a larger producing population so that
larger supplies of food may come to
our manufacturing centers and in that
way reduce the cost of food to the
consumer and enrich the man who
tills the soil and rears his family
upon the farms of Pennsylvania. How
