PHILADELPHIA DEMOCRATS
GREET MR. MUNSON
Reception Was Given Him In Quaker
City-~He Is Pleased With
the Outlook.
A reception was given by many
prominent Democrats to their nominee
for justice of the supreme court, Cyrus
LaRue Munson, in the headquarters of
the Democratic city committee, Phila-
delphia, Monday afternoon. Mr. Mun.
son went there from Atlantic City, and
after spending half of the day with the
Philadelphia Democrats, returned to
the coal region, where he met many
gatherings last week. He made no for-
mal speech, as he had decided that
propriety demanded from him an
avoidance of partisanship, but as he
explained, he wanted to show his fel-
low Democrats his appreciation of the
honor which they had bestowed upon
him in the nomination for the highest
judicial tribunal in the state.
In addition to all the members of
the city committee, with the ward
chairmen, under the direction of City
Chairman John O'Donnell, the gather
ing included scores of Democrats who
dropped into the rooms between 2 and
4 o'clock. Most of them remained only
long enough to shaks hands with Mr.
Munson and wish him success. The
nominee, in a few informal remarks,
sald that he had received so much en-
couragement in the interior of the
state from independents as well as
his own solid party, that he now be
lieved “It is up to Philadelphia” to de
cide the election in the whole state.
Mr. Munson added that he found old
animosities buried by Democrats in the
many counties that he had visited, and
he believed there was a new era close
ahead. “I believe,” Mr. Mimson said,
“that the Democratic party of Penn.
sylvania is in better condition today
than it has been in since 1895 or 1896."
This, he thought, would be shown, “if
not fully in the coming election, at
least in the not distant future.”
What Was the Governor's Reasons?
Governor Pennypacker must have
had some grave reason for refusing to
appoint Robert Von Moschzisker to
the vacancy on the bench of Philadel
phia upon the death of the late Judge
McCarthy. Governor Pennypacker is
a strong partisan. He believes with
Taft in the “solidarity” of the party
and would probably make any reason:
able sacrifice, or would then when he
was in public life and still aspiring.
But he absolutely refused to oblige
his friends, Israel W. Durham, James
P. McNichol and Dave Lane, by ap
pointing their man to the bench.
Governor Pennypacker has often
written entertainingly. His style is
unique and fascinating and his erudi
tion makes whatever he writes inter
esting. It is safe to say, however,
that he has never written anything
that so absorbed public interest in
Pennsylvania as the statement he
might write on the subject of why he
was so determined in his opposition
to placing Robert Von Moschzisker on
the bench in Philadelphia. Of course,
he was not influenced by any trivial
reason. If the gentleman had aspired
to an office of less dignity and im-
portance, an unimportant reason would
serve. But with respect to the bench
it is different.
In the absence of a statement on the
subject from Governor Pennypacke:
any conjecture may be advanced
moreover, which is an additional rea
son that he should speak. He was a
member of the district attorney's staf
when James P. McNichol alleges that
office was prostituted to the basest
uses that can be imagined. He was
assistant district attorney when Mec
Nichol says that office was bribed to
consent to fixing a jury to acquit a
ballot box stuffer. Can it be that Pen.
nypacker refused to appoint him
judge on that account.
Importance of Registration.
It is not generally known to the vot
ers of the cities that the present reg
istration will be used by the elec
tion officers to conduct the primaries
to be held in June, 1910, when a gov:
ernor, congressmen, representatives in
list this fall, you cannot participate
in the selection of those important of
ficials in June. Voters in cities of the
third class have one more chance to
set themselves right for next year's
primaries. Don't “overlook the bet.”
Facts to Keep In Mind.
Those New Bedford operatives who
are demanding an increase in wages
bearing testimony. every day, to their
high appreciation of the learning, abil-
ity and fitness of C. LaRue Munson for
a seat on the supreme court bench.
Wherever Mr. Munson goes he is most
cordially and enthusiastically received
by lawyers. Even the partisan lawyer
relaxes his nrejudices when the ques
tion of putting a fit or unfit man on
the bench confronts him. Mr. Munson
fulfills the lawyers’ ideal of a judge
and the lawyers will express that fact
at the polls this year.
Democrats used to win in Pennsyl-
vania because they used to feel that
good government is as important to
the average citizen as good crops. In
this country the average farmer, with
a family of four or five children, pays
the price of fifty bushels of corn an-
nually in excessive taxes. If he woul
sacrifice time to the value of one
bushel of corn in order to vote the
Democratic ticket, the party which
overtaxes him would be put out of
business and he would perform a civic
duty and save money.
Whatever else happens on election
day, get out the vote. Keep that idea
In mind all the time. It will do no
harm to dream about it.
Meantime make up your mind to
fulfill your civic obligation by voting
the Democratic ticket on election day.
