TELLS DR. BRMUCH
TO BEWfIREJTHE BOSSES
John Wanamaker at Dinner Gives
Warning That "Political Gener
als" Will Try to Influence the Ac- i
tions of the Governor-Elect
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
Philadelphia. Dec. 17. Governor
eHect Martin G. Brumbaugh was the
l gue.-t of honor iai night at a testi-
J moniai dinner at the BeHevue -Strai
j ford, given by the citizens of Phila
i and members of several educa
! iionai bodies with which he has been '
j aihiiated, as a tribute to h s working
j luring the las; eight veara as superin
tendent of schools in this city. More
1 than 600 persons attended.
John Wanamaker expressed what he
: sa:d was Philadelphia's attitude to
| ward both Dr. Brumbaugh and the i
j '' ]K>litica! generals" who endeavor to
I influence the action o® executives. Mr.
I Wanamaker and Mayor Blankenburg
j beaded a list of speakers, including
; men prominent in various phases ol
j public endeavor, who joined in con
| grantiaiting the educator on his record
a? superintendent of scnoois and wish
ing him equal success in his budding
career as a statesman. Speaking of Dr.
| Brumbaugh. Mr. Wanamaker saj ':
j "He was elected by the people. He
' beiongs to the people, ana to ue peo
| pie of Pennsylvania, over and aoo\e
' all parties, he must render his final a
! count. Illustrious as have been his
i predecessors in the gubernatorial chair. j
Itie can be no common or perfunctory
Governor sunp.y to execute the ma
, dates oJ political generals. The f'edera.
■; patronage has no right to claim controi
of the State or city offices. Each bran-.ii
of the government lias it* own pro
prietary rigvug."
Among others who spoke in praise
of Dr. Brumbaugh were former Judge
| Dimner Beefoar, Henry Houck, Seere- |
I tary of Internail Afl'airs; Provost Ed
?ar Pahs Smith, of the L'niversitv v (
| Pennsylvania; President Jose<ph Swain.
I of Swaxthmore College: Mrs. Edwin C.
Grice, president of the Home and
School League: Otto T. Mallery and
Franklin Edmonds.
Mayor Blankenburg predicted a
splendid era for the Commonwealth o!
Pennsylvania under the administration
of Dr. Brumbaugh, whom he said would
atwa.v be remembended as a great pu'o
iic teacher, uo matter how man* jrox
ernorships or even higher ne
nugtot occupy.
In response to the many expressions
of appreciation *nd ohc warm wishes
for as far-reaching and effect in his'
position he is about to occupy as ehiet
executive of the State, Dr. Brumbaugh ;
replied that when he assumed the of i
fice of superintendent he asked him-1
self not what were the duties of the
office, but what were its possibilities
of service to humanity. This same ques
| tion, he declared, he will ask himself
in his coming office.
