CANDIDATE HEMPHILL
©. VISITS. CENTRE COUNTY.
Speaks at Millheim, State College
"and Bellefonte. Large Crowd
Attends Meeting Here.
John M. Hemphill, Democratic
candidate for Governor, made a cam-
paign visit to Centre county, on
Saturday, and defined the pending
issues, as he sees them, at meetings
held at Millheim, State College and
Bellefonte. Mr. Hemphill was ac-
companied by Sedgwick Kistler, the
party’s candidate for United States
Senator: Guy K. Bard, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and Lucy D.
Winston, candidate for Secretary of
Internal Affairs. £ 2 :
The meeting at Millheim was held
at two o'clock in the afternoon; and
notwithstanding ithe fact that it was
not a propitious hour for a political
gathering, three hundred or more
voters assembled lo hear the speak-
ers. Dr. G. S, Frank presided at
the meeting and more than the us-
ual number of women voters were
in evidence. ’
,. From Millheim the party drove to
State College, arriving there about
4.30. They were taken in charge
by Mr. Morris, private secretary of
president Ralph D. Hetzel, who
showed them as much as possible of
the college plant until the dinner
hour. The meeting at the College
was held in the public square at
7 o'clock. John Krumrine presided
and Mr. Hemphill, as the chief
speaker, told his hearers just what
Pinchot had done for the College
during his former term as Governor.
He gave figures to show that in
1923 he cut the first Legislative
appropriation under his term $780,.
314, and $50,000 off of a $100,000
appropriation for research work. In
1925, when the Legislature made
another equitable appropriation, Pin-
chot again slashed $641,844 from the
total amount, It was because of
these proncunced vetoes by Pinchot
that the College was short of actual
funds for support, let alone expan-
sion by the erection of new build-
ings; and it was also because of
these facts that Governor Fisher
was called upon to approve the
much larger appropriations given
than would have been necessary
had Pinchot given the institution
what he ought to have done during
his administration.
The meeting in Bellefonte was
held in the court house at 8 o'clock
in the evening and was much like
the old-time political meetings of
a «decade ago. Ed Jamison and ex-
sheriff Arthur B. Lee "brought the
Spring Mills band to Bellefonte and
the Odd Felows band turned out in
force, the two musical organizations,
playing alternately, gave a half
hour's concert on the porch of the
‘court House. In the meantime a
large audience, included in which
were many Republicans as well as
women voters, gathered inthe court
room so that it was well filled when
John Blanchard Esq., chairman for
the evening, called the meeting to
order, shortly after eight o’clock,
and introduced as the preliminary
speaker Mrs. Winston, candidate for
Secretary of Internal Afairs.
Mrs. Winston is a fluent talker
and in a convincing manner re-
hearsed the delinquencies of the Re-
;publican pariy in general and the
shcrtcomings of its candidate for
iGoverncr, Gifford Pinchot, in par-
ticular. She pointed out the ab-
surdity of the many Pinchot prom-
ises and how ridiculous it is for
any one to think for a moment that
‘he can fulfill them, if elected.
It was nine o'clock when the
Hemphill party entered Bellefonte
by way of south Water street. They
were met at the High street bridge
and escorted up town by the Amer.
ican Legion drum and bugle corps.
Naturally Mr. Hemphill was the
principal speaker of the evening,
‘In Bellefonte he reiterated portions
of his talk at State College in re-
gard to Pinchot’s big cuts in the
college appropriations and also cal-
led attention to the fact that the
‘Bellefonte hospital was one of the
charitable institutions which suffered
as the result of his penurious treat-
ment of State and semi-State in-
stitutions.
' He further showed how utterly
impossible it will be for Pinchot, if
elected, to make good one-tenth ot
the campaign promises he is mak-
ing, such as pulling the farmer out
of the mud on thousands of miles of
dirt road in rural districts, reduction
of driver’s licenses and gasoline taxes,
hunters’ and fishermens' licenses,
etc.; the abolition of the Public
‘Service Commission and a stricter
regulation of public utilities.
| For himself Mr. Hemphill stated
that, if elected Governor of Penn-
sylvania, he would do his best to
Serve all the people of the State to
the limit of his ability. Other
Speakers of the evening were Sedg-
, wich Kistler and Guy K. Bard.

LOCAL D. A, R. CELEBRATES
FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY. |
With an anniversary dinner at
“The Talleyrand” and a specially ar-
raged program members of the
Bellefonte chapter, national society,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, in costumes of 1895, celebrated
on last Friday evening the thirty-
fifth anniversary of their organiza.
tion. The guests of honor present
were Mrs. Austin O. Furst, the
founder of the chapter and its first!
regent, and Mrs. Anna Knight Greg-,
ory, Pennsylvania's only living
“Real Daughter,” (daughter of a
Revolutionary soldier.)
To Mrs. Furst the chapter owes,’
not only its beginning, but to her,
also, it owes all the subsequent.
years’ keen interest, wise counsel,
and continuous active service on the
board of directors. The little “bark”
to which Mrs. Hodgkiss, in her tri-
bute, compared the society, was
successfully launched and well pilot-
ed.
With an initial membership of
sixteen the chapter now numbers
one hundred and sixty-seven; and
an interesting and progressive his- |
tory of its growth and work was!
given in short addresses by former,
regents; ‘by “Mrs. Furst, in a
paper read by her daughter, Mrs,
John Curtin; by Mrs. Harry Keller, |
by Mrs. John Porter Lyon, who
told of the regency of her mother,
Mrs. Isaac Mitchell, and of her own;
by Miss Kate D. Shugert and by
Mrs. William Frear. :
Greetings were received from Miss
Helen E. C. Overton, for eight years
regent of the chapter and an honor-
ary State regent; from Mrs. Edwin
Erle Sparks, also a former chapter
regent and an honorary State re-
gent, and from three chapter mem-
bers, Miss Sarah E. Benner, Mrs.
W. F. Reynolds and Mrs, DavidJ.
Kelly.
Mrs. Gregory who, in a brief and
entertaining address, told of the
almost unique military record of
her family, is the only living “Real
Daughter” of the American Revolu.
tion in Pennsylvania, and one of
five in the United States. Her fath-
er, Richard Knight, and her grand-
father, John Knight, both servedin
the Revolutionary war. Enlisting in
Lancaster at the same time with his
father, Richard Knight was first a
drummer boy and then a private in
Captain John Beatty’s company in
the Fifth Pennsylvania battalion,
and later a private in the Sixth
‘Pennsylvania continental line under
Lieut. Colonel torner. In the war
of 1812 Richard Knight Served as a
captain in the First Pennsylvania
militia. In later years he “came up
the Susquehanna valley and became
proprietor of the old stone hotel at
Liverpool, an important tavern along
the Pennsylvania canal,” where many
who had a part in the making of
Pennsylavnia’s history disembarked
from the packet boats. A grandson
of Mrs. Gregory served in the World
‘war. : :
Among other guests present were
Miss Hibbs, of Norristown, a mem-
ber of the Valley Forge chapter, and
Mrs. David Eckman, of Danville, a
member of the Sunbury chapter,
Just before the close of the meet-
ing a clever and amusing little play,
written by Mrs. W. G. Chambers
and Mrs. H. E. Hodgkiss, of State
College, pictured the local 1895 set-
tings in which the Bellefonte chap-
ter came to be. Those’ taking part
were Mrs. William C. Thompson,
Mrs. James C. Furst, Miss Grace D.
Mitchell, Mrs. John Curtin, Miss
Anna A, McCoy and Mrs. H. Laird
Curtin. a :
For the arrangement and carry-
ing out of this program the chapter
would acknowledge the grace and
skill of the committee in charge,
Mrs. James C. Furst, chairman; Mrs.
H. E. Hodgkiss, Mrs. W. G. Cham-
bers and Mrs. Harry Keller. = *#

there ought to be a provision in

the overwhelmiig score of 53 to 0.
The Red and White fought brave-
ly but were entirely outclassed by

of that place.
Up at State College Penn State
downed Lebanon Valley 27 to 0,
but the score fails to tell the plucky

one stage in the game they were
within nine yards of State's goal
line but lacked the push to ad-
vance the ball for a touchdown.
