He represents | the Administration, and his sctivity as a campaigner will be seized by the | Penrose gang as proof that President | Roosevelt is on its side There is a straight line-up in Peno- sylvauia this year between the forces of corruption and the forces of reform | regardless of political partisanship. | The Penrose gang’s hope of survival and its means of sustenance at the pub- lic crib depend upon defeating the union of Lincoln Republicans Democrats, It has been in desperate straits and Pennsylvania's prospects for a thorough housecleaning have been steadily improving. Whether or not Becretary SBhaw’s appearance af- fects the result, it was uotimely. It tends to divert public attention from local issues which are of chief import- ance, President Roosevelt must felt a8 he stood in front of the State Capi- | tol on the day of the dedication the hopelessness of redeeming Pennsylva- nia except by a political revolution. The marble walls that towered him are founded in fraud and rascality, Even a supposedly personally honest Governor like Pennypacker has tailed signally to keep swindlers of the Re-| publican machine in check. President | Roosevelt himself must bad | twingee of conscience for appearing | under the shadow of this monument to the corruption of his party in ite | greatest stronghold. The Penrose] gang should be beaten and no honor- | able Republican should lend it aid or | comfort. ————— AP i —— and | have above have Two Commissions paid for the elec-| trie wiring of the Capito, one as a part of the building and the other as a part | of the furniture, and now there something so very wrong about the lighting arrangements that the under- | writers will place norisks on the build- | ing until changes shall be made, and | changes involving work inside the | walls are expensive. The building supposed to be fire-proof, why should it need insurance? A aad a half dollars have been paid for] fire-proof filing cases, and the substi. | tution of plaster of paris composition for carved mahogany should decrease | the inflammability. Candidate Quigley will get a bunch | of complimentary } votes in Gregg | township for performing the crude po- litical stunt of knocking down and out | Haery M. Allison when he was a can- | didste for county treasurer. Quigley | clapped his hands for joy, and that is | the act that made him begin to think i he was crooked enough to be a candi- | date for state senator—a fit subject for the Penrose gang outfit, He did pot misjudge his capacity—the gang is for Quigley. Quigley is no fake gangster ; he is the real thing, trimmings and all. in is BO million ” The voters in Centre county will have an opportunity for showing their gratitude to Col. Taylor for leading Centre counly to victory in the recent contest for judge as well as many other services rendered the party. A vote for Colonel Taylor for congress will be an expression of gratitude as well a8 voting for a man who will truly represent the interests of the people in Centre county. ———— A ————— For many years the gang has plas tered shut the eyes of the voters im Pennsylvania, The campaign lust fall and Ldd-lifter Berry have restored the vision to many heretofore blind par- tizans, and their first discovery is that putty and plaster have been palmed off as solid mahogany, In oider to have the whole capitol steal exposed and the offenders pun. ished it will be necessary to elect sens tors and representatives opposed to the looting of treasuries. Quigley and Frybarger are not that kind.
