[NoTE. The following is furnished the i readers of the WATCHMAN because of its | absolute truth and because so few of | them know the man personally. And “Billy” Brennan in addition to being the kindly, big hearted charitable worker the Republican shows him to be, is a DEMO- | ORAT who is as honest in his political be- liefs and actions as he is charitable and ‘kind in his personal; has done more and spent more of his time and of his ewn money for the success of Democratic tickets, in the Republican gang ridden city of Pittsburgh and the Penrose bossed State of Pennsylvania, than all of | his traducers and defamers put togeth- |. er. And that work was done for the party ticket, whether he had been allowed a voice in its selection or not. He has never been know to bolt a ticket nor to fail to do all in his power for the election of those its representatives had - chosen as party candidates.—ED. WATCH- MAN. ] From the Clearfield Republican. One of the most misunderstood and most unjustly abused men in Pennsyl- vania politics today is W. J. Brennan, of Pittsburgh, “Billy” Brennan. There isn’t a man in all the confines of the Keystone State who does more for his fellowman day in and day out, the year round, than “Billy” Brennan; does it out of the big- ness of his big heart, without noise, with- out price. In all the many political battles in which he participated he fought for his friends never for himself, save once as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Chauncey Black in 1886, and again a few years ago as a candidate for Judge. “Billy” Brennan not only fights for his friends politically, but he spends his own money. Never in all his long political career has a dirty dollar ever been traced to his pocket. When George W. Guthrie was elected Mayor of Pittsburgh Billy Brennan con- ducted his campaign and he spent more of his own money to win the battle than all other contributions to the campaign aggregated. Many Democrats throughout Pennsyl- ‘'vania who make up their opinions from the unfair, thoughtless criticism to be found in factional newspapers, have “Billy” Brennan pictured as a bloated, bulldozing, browbeating boss, whose weapons are the bludgeon and bundles of boodle in the political game. Nothing further from the truth. William J. Brennan is one of the mildest mannered men on God’s footstool. No man living ever heard him utter a blasphemous syllable, word or phrase. His strongest expression when forced to emphasize is “gash hang.” No man ever saw William J. Brennan take a drink of intoxicating liquor of any kind or descrip- tion. William J. Brennan started life in the mills, educated himself sufficiently to study law and was admitted to practice. Today his practice in all the courts of Pittsburgh is about the largest and most extensive of any law firm in that city. He has helped scores of young men fit themselves for the law and he never turned a deserving client away from his door, no matter whether he had a dollar or whether he ever expected to possess a dollar. He does more work gratis than he ever does work for which he is paid. These facts explain why “Billy” Bren- nan, the confirmed old bachelor, who has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars practicing law, and given the major por- tion away as fast as he earned it, is about the most popular man in Pittsburgh since the passing of the late Christopher L. Magee. Men who know “Billy” Brennan can- not help but like him. It is the men who do not know him who are eternally abusing him, and if you pinned them down for reasons they couldn’t give you one that would justify their action. The writer has known “Billy” Brennan for over twenty years and knows every statement above made is absolutely truth- ful. Many times he has been on the other side from us in political scraps, but we never questioned his sincerity, his honesty of purpose and his loyalty to his friends We offer this testimony in be- half of a much abused friend because no later than the past week have we again run up against positive evidence right here in Clearfield of his bigness of heart, of that God-given charity which he al- ways delights to exercise. ——No Democrat who cares for the reputation of his party or has any re- spect for the memory of the late Hon. J. C. MEYER, can afford to vote to place E. R. BENSON upon the Democratic ticket for Congress. It is but a few months over three years since he bolted the party caucus and voted for a Republican as against the Democratic nominee for _ Speaker of the House at Harrisburg. And Mr. MEYER, of this county, was that man. Surely no friend of Mr. MEYER will overlook that insult to him as well as to the county and to the Democratic party. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. —— Mrs. Frank Wian, who lives near Nigh Bank, was the victim of a serious accident on Monday. She was assisting in the house-cleaning when she fell from a step-ladder, breaking her left leg be- tween the ankle and the knee and knock- ing the ankle out of joint. The fracture is a bad one as one of the bones is brok- en in two places while the other one was splintered so that a fragment of bone protruded through the flesh. She was taken to the Bellefonte hospital where the fracture was reduced and she is now undergoing treatment. | to his party. In Memory of J . Calvin Meyer. The late Hon. J. CALVIN MEYER was one of the men who brought distinction He was a product of Pennsvalley, long our Democratic ~ Gibraltar. He was proud of the community in which he was born and raised to young manhood. And when he went to Harrisburg to represent his county in the legislative halls his ability soon made itself known. In fact, at once, he became a Democratic leader in that cauldron of Republicanism. The Democrats made him their candidate for Speaker of the House; the highest honor they could confer upon any one of their number. They did this because of the eminent ability and fitness of this man who claimed Pennsvalley as his birthplace. Then the politica, Judas came in the person of a Swede named BENSON, from McKean county. BEN. SON was supposed to be a Democrat and, MEYER. Did he do it? No! as such, was in honor bound to vote for He voted for DEARDEN, a Republican. Last week this same Swede was over in Pennsvalley with W. D. ZERBY asking those friends and neighbors of CAL MEYER to make him their nominee for Congress. Will they Reorganizer. feel stabbed to the heart if you didn’t. do it? Mr. MEYER is gone and there is no one left to avenge the insult the im- pertinent young Swede gave him unless his friends do. There are only two aspirants for the nomination for Congress from this District. They are EDWARD R. BENSON, 33 years old, a Swede, from McKean county and a WiLLIAM E. TOBIAS 44 years old, a native of Clearfield county, nine years su- perintendent of the county schools and a Reorganizer. They are both Reorganizers so the WATCHMAN can’t be charged with factional partisanship in this instance. It is merely hoping that the Democracy of Centre county has enough of its old back-bone left to resent the impudence of this young Swede who betrayed MEYER at Harrisburg and now comes to his old home friends in Centre county and asks them to put their stamp of approval on the betrayal. Were Mr. MEYER alive today he probably wouldn't ask you to, but he would thereon. county offices. next Tuesday. ~ Col. H. S. Taylor. Of the eleven gentlemen who are aspirants for the Democratic nomination for Representative at Large in Congress most of the readers of the WATCHMAN know but one. - That one is Col. HUGH S. TAYLOR, of Bellefonte. Four of the eleven aspirants will be chosen next Tuesday to represent our party on the ticket in the fall and it would be a matter of pride if Centre county could have representation To put the matter before you as it actually stands Col. TAYLOR ought to have the support of all the Democrats of his home county. Though there may. have been differences in the past, if ever our party is to get together in Centre county the time is here to begin closing up the breach rather than opening it wider. Under the old precidents a home candidate always received the endorsement of his home community. This was so, even down to township candidates for If a man from a certain township were a candidate for a county office, no matter who he was, his home township invariably stood behind his aspi- ration as long as his name was balloted for in the county convention. The prac- tice.had its faults, but it left no sore spots to heal up afterwards. Bringing the argument home, Col. TAYLOR is a resident of Centre county. He is our only can- didate for Congressman-at-Large, therefor would it not be well for the party to make him one of the four men whom every voter will have a chance to vote for It is not our purpose to write fulsome eulogiums of Col. TAYLOR, but knowing personally most of the other aspirants for the same office we think we do them no injustice when we say that Col. TAYLOR ie the equal of all and the superior of several, when it comes to the matter of equipment for the position. He isa law” yer, an orator and has been in such intimate touch with all classes of men as to make him a peculiarly well equipped man to represent the masses in Congress. On the eve of the primaries and without the solicitation or the knowledge of the gentleman in question the WATCHMAN makes this appeal to the Democrats of Centre county. It asks them to vote for Col. TAYLOR along with the three others they will be permitted to name, It makes’ the request because it knows that it will be for the good of our organization in Centre county. It asks it because prec- edents have made it customary. It asks it because Col. TAYLOR is as fit a man as any who seek your support for the office. Michael J. Ryan was 11 years old when his mother died; two years later his father died. Young Ryan was left with the care of four younger brothers and sisters whom he declined to have separated. On his own individual efforts depended the welfare of the family. Michael Ryan got a steady job as errand boy in a wholesale grocery house for ten hours a day, from 7 to 6. In the winter, from 5 to 7 in the morning, he lit fires on the wharves for watchmen. In the evenings he swept office buildings up to 9 o’clock. He did this so that he could keep his family together. Michael Ryan, during the adoles- cent period, despite his struggles to keep his brothers and sisters with him, found time to study law at night, was admitted to the bar in Philadel phia at the age of 22, opened his own office the day he was admitted and has never owned a master since. At the early aze of 19, Michael Ryan +had spoken in every ward in Philadelphia in behalf of the Demo- cratic party. In 1884, at the age of 20, Michael J. Ryan stumped New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in behalf of Grover Cleveland for President. In 1888, 1892 and 1896 Mr. Ryan spoke in thirty States in behalf of the Democratic candidate for Presi- dent. In 1896 he was the only bank | director in the State of Pennsylvania, | so far as known, who contributed to the campaign fund of William Jen- nings Bryan. Mr. Ryan always has supported, by voice and contribution, the candi- dates of the Democratic party. Never has Mr. Ryan asked or re- ceived from any organization of any kind one cent of money for his ser- vices as a political orator nor for his traveling and hotel expenses. He has always paid them himself, even when poor. Facts For Next Tuesday’s Voters. Read These fand Decide for Yourself as to Which is Most Worthy the Position of Democratic Nominee for Governor. Vance C. McCormick never knew any other condition in life than the lux- urious one of great riches, with every whim satisfied by doting parents. Vance McCormick at this period was enjoying himself in his palatial home in Harrisburg, among his aris- tocratic friends, and obtaining, not on his own resources, his preparatory educa- tion at the Harrisburg Academy. Vance McCormick, during the same period, finished his studies at the Harris- risburg Academy and entered Yale, dis- tinguishing himself upon the football field. Then he returned to Harrisburg to enjoy the ready-made fortune which was at his command. At the same age, Vance McCormick was merely in the midst of his luxurious preparation for the future and no one ever heard of him in politics until his aristocratic friends and the McCormick wealth forced him into Common Council in Harrisburg. When did Vance McCormick ever stump any district at any age in behalf of anybody except Vance McCormick? In 1896, Mr. McCormick, fledgling in politics, bolted Mr. Bryan as the presi- dential candidate of the Democratic party and he did the same in 1900; and in 1902 he bought a newspaper to further his own ambitions and to belabor everyone who would not agree with him. Mr. McCormick has supported Demo- cratic candidates only with comparative rarity. Twice has he bolted the presi- dential candidates; once he bolted the gubernatorial candidate. His other bolts are almost innumerable. Mr. McCormick, with his inherited millions, is in the same class. Never has he known a time when a few hun- dren dollars, more or less, caused calcula- tion. ——Candidates for political have been pretty thick in Bellefonte the past two weeks and each and every one has an argument as to why he should be supported. The primaries will be held next Tuesday and if the day is a nice one the vote is likely to be a light one, as all farm work is so backward that every good day counts. favors ~—If you are a lover of good music you will be sure to enjoy the concert to be given in Garman’s opera house tomorrow afternoon and evening by the Tyrone P.

Believing in the divine right of every child to the influence of a home and the loving care of its own mother; believing that the opportunity is now at hand to secure for the dependent children of Cen- tre county this same right, the State Woman’s Club, at a recent meeting, passed the following: Resolved: that the State College Wom- an’s Club go ‘on record as heartily en- dorsing the Mother's Pension Bill passed by the last Legislature and as being earnestly desirous of having it immedi- ately put into force in Centre county. By act of the recent Legislature the sum of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) was appropriated for a Moth- er’s Pension Fund, this fund to be dis- tributed among the counties according to their respective population. The law further provides that each county shall receive its allotment as soon as it sets aside for this purpose an equal amount. Many counties have already met the State’s requirement and the Mother's Pension Law is now in operation. The increase in taxation is so small that no self-respecting taxpayer would consider it. Less than a quarter of a mill increase secures for us the present appropriation. : The opportunity is now at hand to es- tablish a better svstem of caring for our dependent children. : - Mr. Taxpayer, will you fall into line? Will you protect and defend the sacred rights of the dependent and fatherless children in your county? Will you signify to the Commissioners your desire to have established in Centre county an act to succor and defend those whom our Mas- ter termed “the least of these?” The question is now squarely before you. What will you do with it? MRs. FRANK GARDNER, State College. PINE GROVE MENTION. May 13th, 1914 Charles Warner is critically ill with paralysis. Cal Coble is quite ill with heart trouble and dropsy.
