SENATOR MORRIS,
OF NEBRASKA, WILL
FIGHT PENROSEISM
Republican of Middle West
Coming to Pennsylvania to
Aid in Rehabilitation of
Party.
tVASHINOTON. Oct. SH.-Senntor Oenrpe
TV. Norrls, of Nebraska, a Uepublloan,
last night authorized the announretnont
that he would ko to Pennsylvania the
latter part of this week to appeal to the
Republican voters of the Stnto to assist
In the rehabilitation of the Ilepubllcnn
party In the nation by ntltiK nsalnst
l'enrose.
"It Is the first duty of the nepubllean
Tarty to destroy Benrnselsm," he said
"As a Republican Senator I consider It
a duty to my conscience, a duty to decent
citizenship and a duty to popular kov
ernment to oppose with alt my power thi
re-election of Boles Fcnros to the United
States Senate."
Senator Norrls made It manifest that
he had no personal antagonism to
Mr. Penrose. Ills fifrht Is against the
thlnss that Mr. Penrose stands for; In
other words, nsalnst "Ponroselsm."
"In taking this step." sold Senator Nor
rls. "I realize, of coure, tint It will bo
crltlcled. Senator Kenynn. of Iowa,
another republican wllllne to po to the
fame letieth that 1 nm to rid the party of
Tenroselsm, Is detained In Iowa. Other
wise I nm certain I would find him tight
Ins side by side with me In Pennsylvania
to defeat Mr. Penrose. There can b- no
compromise. The Republican party must
throw off this millstone."
Othr Republican Senators, while re
fraining from going Into Pennsylvania to
defend Mr. Penrose and his record, are
tirglntr Senator Norrls not to oppose the
patty nominee.
Senator Norrls four years ago. as a
member of the House, led the little band
of Insurgents that succeeded In dethron
Inc Speaker Cannon and the Cannon rules.
When the Insurgents uon their tight
and "Cannonlsm" was destroyed, Mr.
Norrls went back to hl constituents and
asked that hl stand be approved Tho
people of Nebraska in 1912 elected a. Dem
ocratic Governor and a DemocraMc Legis
lature, but the Democratic Legislature
was Instructed under the Oregon system
to send to the fnlted States Sennte Georgo
W. Norrls, Republican, who had led the
fight against "Cannonlsm
Senator Norrls announces that he Is
willing to oppose the election of the reg
ular Republican nominee for the Senate
In Pennsvlvania and leave the question
of Us party regularity to his Republican
constituents In Nebraska Senator Ken
yon, of Ion a, Is willing to take the same
stand It Is possible that he too, may
find time to make a few speeches In
Pennsylvania.
Sfnator Mose.s E. n.-tpp. Republican of
Minnesota, is understood to be willing to
go to Pennsylvania to oppose the re
election of Mr. Penrose Like Senators
Norrls and Kenyon, Senator Clapp Is not
opposed to Mr. Penrose personally. He,
toe. Is opposed to 'Penroseim" and con
siders that the greatest victory that can
bo won by the Republican party in No
vember Is the defeat of Mr Penrose.
LEWIS STILL ON TICKET;
THOUGHT TO BE OVERSIGHT
Evidently Forgot He Was "Hoosevelt
Progressive" Candidate.
HARRISm'RG. Oct 20 William Dra
per Lewis. In retlrtnff frotn the Wash
ington party ticket as a candidate for
Governor Inst month, seems to have for
gotten that he was also on the Roose
velt Progressive ticket. The result la
that he will go before the people next
month as the candidate of that party, as
the time for withdrawing expired at mid
night last night.
No one here knows why Lewis did not
get off the Roosevelt Progressiva ti"kt.
It Is believed to have been an oversight.
This leaves Martin G. Brumbaugh as
the P.epubllcan-Keystone-Personnl Liber
ty candidate. Vance C McCormtck as the
Democratic-Washington; L--wls ns the
Roosevelt Progressive and Charles N.
Brumm as the Bull Moose.
The Roosevelt Progressive State ticket
Is tho same as the original Washington
ticket, from Pinchot down, the onlv dif
ference now is that the Washington
tlckut carries Mi"orniicU for Governor
Instead of Lewis

BRUMBAUGH LONG
WAGED CAMPAIGN
AGAINST ALCOHOL
Candidate Impressed Evils of
Liquor on Public School
Pupils by Strong Argu
ments in Textbooks.
Instruction concerning the evils of tho
liquor habit was provided In every pub
lic school In tho city under tho superln
tendency of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh.
This fnct Is being used by associates of
tho Republican candldatn for the Gov
ernorship to prove thnt he has always
been a sincere opponent of tho rum busi
ness. Under Doctor Brumbaugh ns superin
tendent of schools every textbook on
ph Biology and hygleno In use In the
schools contains exhaustive referenco to
the effect of nlcohol on tho bodily func
tions. Every grammar school child must
bo familiar with this phase of the study
before he completes his course In the
elementary schools.
One of the most frequently used text
books makes this comment on the use of
alcohol:
"Men who have devoted years trying to
recie these who have become victims
of tho appetite say that with all their
efforts onlv a few are Anally saved. Men
who have abstained for months, or even
vpnrs. may be Middenly overpowered by
the slightest tnste or even the smell of
alcoholic drink.
TRKATS BtTIUnCT EXHAUSTIVELY.
"Drunkenness Is due more to the naturo
of th drink than the will of the drlnkor.
The grntest weakness of the drinker Is
In beginning to tnkc the drink that has
the power to make him Its slave."
In a following paragraph the law of
fermentation Is fully discussed, nnd tho
phjslologlcnl dangers that are Involved
are explained.
The evils of elder, wine, beer and
whisky are separately treated; the
processes of their manufacture arc de
scribed, nmpnaslzlng the psychological
laws that make liquor a menace, the
author devotes considerable space also
to the moral side of the question.
Another book that Is in wide use wns
written Jointly by n well-known principal
and by an educator who since bocamo
cne of Doctor Brumbaugh's assistants.
This work classifies alcohol with tobacco
as a bodily poison. It says:
"Tho heart, being a muscle, suffers as
other muscles do from the use of alco
hol and tobacco. It becomes weak nnd
Irregular In Its action. Alcohol makes
the heart bent too fast, thus giving It
too much work to do. Too grcnt n
quantity of blood is sent Into the little
bloodvessels, giving the skin of a drunk
ard n red appearance."
Discussing the 'Toisonous Action of
Akohullc Liquor" this book declares:
DESCRIBES EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL.
"In some cases, wheio only a small
amount of alcoholic liquor is tnken, the
trjurv to the tissues Is so slight and
its effect" pass off so quickly thnt tho
hn:m done is not noticed by the one who
takes It. Yet the taking of alcohol even
in small amounts Is dangerous, for small
amounts often crtate an uncontrollable
appetite for larger amounts: and when
these nie token tho tissues nro so setl-ou'-lv
Injured that the harmful effects do
not escape notice."
"It Is well known that alcoholic liquor.
In Inrge amounts, produces a condition of
Intoxication. The drowsiness, stupor and
loss of consciousness are caused by the
action of alcohol on the brain This
action Is entirely different from thnt pro
duced by food of any kind, but It is
quite like the action produced on the
brain by a class of suostances called nar
cotic poisons
'In many Instances death has followed
the drinking of alcoholic liquor. The
papers frequently report such cases, nnd
a record of them can be easily found In
the office of the Board of Health In the
city where they occur "
Ptrong nppeal Is made to the athletic
instinct of bos In teaching them the ef
fects of the hnblt The pupils are made
to see that the drinker Is seldom n strong
man and that among adult athletes, races,
baseball games, etc . are sometimes lost

PINCHOT FAILS TO RESUME
HIS ATTACK ON PALMER

"Coming" nt New Cnstle Tonight.
NEW CASTLE, Pu , Oct. 20 - GIfford

At Wampum, the first stop, Mr. Pinchot,
nddreaslng a crowd of 2.7), devoted his re
marks to Penrose and predicted his de
feat. "What of Palmer?" a man In the nu
dlence yelled.
"He can't win either." said Mr. Pinchot,
smiling.
At West Pittsburgh, where ho wns wel
comed rather enthusiastically, Pinchot
spoke for a half hour, while Mrs. Pinchot,
assisted by local Progressives, passed out
Pinchot literature. The candidate's voice
seemed weak from yesterday's exertions,
when he visited 20 towns during the day
and addressed four open-air meetings at
night In a comprehensive tour of Beaver
County.
At Jackson he joined in tho celebration
of "National Apple Da," munching n
big apple as he shook hands with the
celebrators. A brief speech mado here

PALMER AND PINCHOT
HAVE FIRST CLASH
OF THE CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate at a
Loss to Understand Rival's
Unwarranted Attack
Liquor Issue.
on
MBltCBR, Pa., Oct. 20. Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer, Democratic nominee,
and GIfford Pinchot, Progressive nomi
nee, for United States Senator, by nlght
fnll tonight will bo launched Into the
thick of attacks on one another, Judging
by Indications -when Palmer and Demo
cratic campaigners made tho first stop in
thflr day's lour of Mercer County here
nt noon today
After tho two had refrained from un
pleasant references to each other from
the tlmo the campaign opened nearly two
months ago Pinchot made tho first break
when in speeches In Beaver County last
night he attacked Palmer on the liquor
Issue.
"I nm utterly at a loss to understand
Mr. PInchot's motives," said Represen
tative Palmer on his arrival here today.
The suggestion that PInchot's attack
was duo to pique becauso Palmer did not
retire from the race In his favor, tho
Democrntlc nominee snld ne was not jot
ready to accept.
"Tho stand of the Democratic platform
on the liquor Issue," continued Mr. Pal
mer, "Is perfectly plain. All the Dem
ocratic candldntes are pledged to that.
The plntform declaration Is In favor of
local option and, of course, that Includes
me.
"Whnt I hnve said from the beginning
I still hellevo slncorely. Mr. Pinchot can
not possibly win. The Democratic ticket
Is the only effective orgnnized Instrument
with which tho voters may dofeat Penroso
nnd Penrosclsm for all tlmo, nnd Doctor
Lewis, Mr. Plnchot'o colleague on the
Washington party ticket, recognizing this,
retlied In favor of the Democratic can
didate, Mr. McCormlck."
Representative Palmer In his address
here touched on the Pinchot matter only
lightly, but It Is cNpcctcd he will hnve
more to say about It nt tonight's meet
ing In Sharon. Mr. McCormlck, W. T.
Creasy, nominee for Lieutenant Gover
nor, nnd Charles N. Crosby, nominee for
Congressman-at-Inrge, also made short
addresses here.
