It is exactly one year since Vance |
CC. McCormick and the other spokes-
men of independent politics in this
State were being abused and berated
because they suggested that no gov
ernor, nominated and elected by the
machine, could be his own master, or
could avoid being the tool of crooked
politicians in their crooked schemes,
They were told that such statements
were unwarranted slanders upon Mar-
tin G. Brumbaugh, whose Integrity
and independence were solid guar-
antees that he would never stoop to
dirty politics and never be a party
to the bosses’ intrigue i
Dr. Brumbaugh himself became
righteously indignant ex-
pressions of distrust of his ability to
stand firm under machine pressure
He declared again and again, “I hate
a boss just as hate a boss, and
iff such a thing my path I
will scotch it.” It is altogether prob-
able that his attitude of injured in-|
cence, together with his positive
assurances of his own free
and determination, were respon-
for his election. Previous dem- |
